- Disembark at the Great Ukuta Outpost within the Coast of Africa

- Disembark at the Pillar Tomb outpost and dig up buried chest
Reward: Rugged Chest (See below for list of contents)
Sail to & Disembark at the Great Ukuta Outpost – Great Ukuta is located at one of the most South-Western parts of the map. Elder’s Cave, Mother of Shipwrecks, and Fort Louis outposts are Fast Travel points within two minute sailing distances. Otherwise, it’s a 13000+m sail from Sainte Anne, which would clock the average boat about 13 minutes of sailing at full speed.
Head to Cart, Examine Leaflet paper – After disembarking at Great Ukuta Outpost, head up the stairs and find a turned over wooden cart. The Leaflet on the ground will reveal that King Mwenye and the traitors were last seen at Bandari. Player must now head 8690m to Bandari and activate a plunder to get them to surrender the next clue of where the Crown of Ukuta lies. The closest Fast Travel point to Bandari is Poacher’s Cache 920m away and Sunken Goldmine, 2330m.
Bandari Settlement, Activate a Plunder
Bandari is a settlement within the Harufu region. When you arrive at the settlement, activate a plunder. The top of the towers are the most critical damage points. Be sure to stave off reinforcement ships, don’t just focus on the buildings or you will surely feed the fish (sink and die). The Hunt for the Crown of Ukuta won’t continue unless you complete this stage.
Navigator’s Cross Outpost, Examine Shipwreck – This is pretty self explanatory. You find one of the shipwreck’s and search the shipwreck for the next clue. One way you’ll know you’ve found the right ship is by the prompt. The prompt will look different than the regular “Force Open” prompt for shipwrecks. Examine your findings to progress to the final clue.
Disembark at the Pillar Tomb Outpost, Dig up Buried Chest
Also straightforward. Pillar Tomb Outpost is located in the Jiwe region about a 2 minute sail from Navigator’s Cross. After you disembark at Pillar’s Tomb, pretty much straight past where your cache is located you’ll find where King Mwenye was buried. Dig up his treasure and examine your findings in your journal to finalize the Investigation. Your Hunt for the Crown of Ukuta ends here.
