    Once again “The Merciless Admiral” and his Armada of the Dead have risen from the dark.

    Their cargo's are massive amounts of souls, both “Radiant Souls” and “Cursed Souls”. The Souls are needed in order to generate energy for a hellish ritual.

    Send the Admiral and his armada back into the dark in order to stop this ritual from happening.

    While doing so, grab as many of the souls as you possibly can and use them on valuable items at the Black Market.


    There will be lots of battles against event ships - and you might have to fight each of them twice!

    First phase
    You'll have to battle the armada in its “living” form.
    You will meet normal ships, shooting as normal ships and sinking as normal ships!

    Second phase
    During this phase of the event, the event ships seems normal, but if sunk, they are likely to return from the afterlife and you must fight them again as “undead” creatures.

    The “zombie form” is much stronger, because they have an extra voodoo shield, but the rewards are definitely also much better. Be sure to use your Soul Eater Ammo to get the extra kick!

    All event chests and ships can be found in maps 2-1 to 20-1. All players can shoot in all maps.

    Ammunition needed and possible loots are shown in the following:


    (Normal ship / Zombie)

    Vain Alphonse / Rotting Alphonse:
    • Shootable with Gold and Elite Ammo
    • Rewards EXP and Soul Eater Ammo (Damage distribution)

    Perfumed Odette / Putrid Odette:
    • Shootable with Elite Ammo
    • Rewards EXP and Cursed Souls (Damage distribution)

    Graceful Marcelle / Shambling Marcelle:
    • Shootable with Elite Ammo
    • Chance to get Radiant Souls (Damage distribution)

    The Merciless Admiral / The Soulless Admiral:
    • Appears to take vengeance after a certain number of event ships have been defeated.
    • Generates a zone that will infect you with the plague* and weaken you!
    • Shootable with Elite Ammo
    • Rewards EXP
    • Chance to get Pearls (Damage distribution)

    Fat Jacques / Bloated Jacques:

    • Appears to aid the Merciless/the Soulless during your battles with the Admiral
    • Shootable with Gold and Elite Ammo
    • After inflicting a certain small amount of damage, every player will get the “Unstoppable“ item

    The plague is an infectious disease, meaning every player who goes near somebody infected will also be infected immediately. You can however save yourself from the epidemic by using the action item “Unstoppable


    Soul Eater ammunition causes much more damage than any other ammunition.

    There will be two different series of quests.

    One series for Phase 1 & One series for Phase 2

    Both series will include
    o one quest will be repeatable every hour
    o one quest will be repeatable every day (24 hours from start)


    You will find the questgiver, Jack Hawk, in a Safe Haven.


    You will find event chests in the maps 2-1 to 20-1, but in this event, you will have no need for your harpoons.

    Keys for event chests can be bought on the Black Market or in the Payment section.


    You will – as always – be able to buy at lot of useful items and buffs.
    You will also find designs and pets. Amongst others, you will see the brand new design, Night’s Vigil, and the new pet, Oak.
