How to start The Quest for Guybrush Tall Tale in Sea of Thieves

To begin the Quest for Guybrush The Legend of Monkey Island Tall Tale in Sea of Thieves, you will have to make your way to a Capsize Charters tent.

To complete this commendation, you will first have to make your way to the Mojo Shop and speak to Corina. She'll hand you the Mojo Potion of New Horizons. Once you've acquired this potion, you will have to make your way to the Lookout Point on Melee Island.

Before attempting this commendation, align the cannon in such a way that the barrel points through all three rings at the same time. Once you've done that, make your way to Alfredo and Bill and interact with them.

Take the costume that they give you and change into it. Ring the bell that you find beside them and keep crossing the different obstacles and ringing the bells. There are a total of three bells that you ring, but if you keep following the course, you shouldn't have much difficulty completing it.

This is one of the more interesting commendations in this entire questlne. However, you need to have the Mighty Pirate Sword with you to activate this commendation. Make your way to Captain Smirk's house and ask him to train you in sword fighting.

To learn how to sword fight, you will have to match an insult with the appropriate retort. There are 20 insults, each with its corresponding retort. These are as follows:

My deeds are spoken of worldwide!	Well, everyone loves a good joke.
Need to catch your breath?	Only from laughing at you.
I'm here to take your life!	It's about time you got one.
You're not fit to lick my boots!	I'll be scarping you off mine shortly.
No one has ever beaten me in combat!	Oh, so this IS your first time?
I'll wipe the floor with you!	I hope you're better at cleaning than you are at fighting.
I've met pigs that are scarier than you!	Glad to hear you stay in touch with your parents.
I'm the greatest fighter on the seas!	Too bad you met ME on dry land.
No one has faced me and lived!	With breath that bad, I'm not surprised.
My blade is in perfect condition!	Oh, so this IS your first time?
I'm welcome everywhere I go!	Well, everyone loves a good joke.
Looking at you offends my sense of decency!	It's about time you got one.
This'll be a good clean fight!	I hope you're better at cleaning than you are at fighting.
I'm an amazing fighter!	Yeah - I'm amazed you've lasted this long.
This fight is going swimmingly!	Too bad you met ME on dry land.
I've met useless wretches like you before!	Glad to hear you stay in touch with your parents.
I'll give you a taste of my blade!	I'll be scarping you off mine shortly.
People tremble whenever I speak!	With breath that bad, I'm not surprised.
You're looking a little flushed!	Only from laughing at you.

How to complete the Trial of Treasure-Huntery

To complete this commendation, you will have to locate a treasure and collect an idol from inside a chest. The treasure map that leads to this chest can be collected from a Citizen of Melee. The directions are fairly straightforward, so you shouldn't have a lot of difficulty following them.

Once you've acquired the idol, make your way to Corina and turn it in, thereby completing the Trial of Treasure-Huntery.

How to complete the Trial of Thievery

Once you start talking to Meathook, you'll learn that Beast has escaped, and in order to get the Sale deed for the Headless Monkey, you will have to recover Beast. However, there are a few additional steps to this quest. Here's what you need to do:

Remove the five cutlasses from the Beasts' cave.
Pick up some wooden planks outside Meathook's house. These can be found on the left side of his house.
Place those on the cage and enter the forest to your right. Break a mop tree branch and bring it back to him.
Search his house for some Banana Grease and give it to him.
Head upstairs to Meathook's bedroom and take the shanty from under his pillow.
Make your way to the top of Hook's Island, equip a musical instrument and play the shanty you just collected.

After a while, Beast should fly down to you. When you pick up the bird, interact with it and you will end up completing the Beast Whisperer commendation. Head back to Meathook, put Beast in his cage, and you'll receive the Bill of Sale for the Headless Monkey.

Although this won't complete the Trial of Thievery, it will begin the next stage which is tied to another commendation.

With the Bill of Sale in hand, return to Stan. Talk to him about furniture and keep selecting the dialogues till he talks about a wardrobe. Eventually, Stan will climb inside the wardrobe. Close the doors, and push the wardrobe into the ocean.

Go to his office and pick up the key to Stan's Previously Owned Vessels. Head to the structure, and open the door with this key. Make your way inside, and you'll find a book with the combination to the safe. Open the safe and collect the third idol. Return this to Corina, and you'll end up completing both the Stantastic Voyage commendation and the Trial of Thievery commendation.
