  • Go to the Fort of the damned island located at the center of the map.

Once you are there.

Go up the island into the main room.

Now you start lighting the statues with their corresponding flame.

Now lastly you place the ritual skull in the metal cage in the center.

Congratulations now you have started the fort of the damned!

Doing the Fort

Special ghost skeletons will spawn with one of the 6 color of the flames.

They are immune to damage until you raise your lantern with their same color of flame.

Now you keep killing the skeletons wave after wave until the boss spawns, now the boss is quite tanky but there is a very easy way to kill him using cannons, just bring him down to the dock and shoot him with your ship cannon until he dies.

Now after killing the boss, the boss will drop the vault key, Take the key to the vault door which is located below the main room between the 2 stairs leading up to it
