Underground Network Quest Walkthrough

The quest is divided into the following steps:

• Ask around on Tortuga about the Smugglers
• Talk to Long Ben in the tavern
• Talk to Marita at the smuggler's base
• Find Hale
• Return to Marita and talk to Long Ben
• Find and sink Marlowe's ship

Step 1: Ask Around on Tortuga About the Smugglers

Sail to Tortuga and follow the quest marker until you reach a tavern with several NPCs inside. This is where you'll begin your investigation.

Step 2: Talk to Long Ben in the Tavern

Inside the tavern, speak with Long Ben, who will describe recent events and the ongoing attacks. He will instruct you to speak with a smuggler responsible for maintaining supplies.

Step 3: Talk to Marita at the Smuggler's Base

Take your ship to the smuggler's base, marked on your map. Here, you'll meet Marita, who will provide further instructions.

Step 4: Find Hale

Locate Hale near the smuggler's base. Be cautious—Blackbeard's forces patrol the area and will attack if they spot you. Look for an underground entrance hidden beneath leaves. Descend into the passage and defeat the beast guarding the room.

Inside, you'll uncover details about Hale and his situation. Loot the chest in the room, then return to your ship.

Step 5: Return to Marita and Talk to Long Ben

Marita will ask you to speak with Long Ben again, as he knew Hale and there is a debt to be settled. Inform Ben about Hale's fate, and he will reveal that Marlowe has broken the code and sided with the authorities.

Step 6: Find and Sink Marlowe's Ship

Intercept Marlowe's ship, which will be marked on your map. Avoid engaging with Blackbeard's ships in the region. Look for a ship named Bony Sue, a level 3 vessel with high HP but limited combat capabilities. Once defeated, speak with Long Ben to report Marlowe's demise.
