Can’t Open Barrier in Sunken Pearl Sea of Thieves Pirate’s Life Tall Tale – How to Solve Bug

If you can’t open the different barriers in the Sunken Pearl Pirate’s Life Tall Tale in Sea of Thieves, to solve the bug, you need to hop onto a different server. You’ll know that you’ve encountered the glitch if the glowing coral that’s supposed to open the door isn’t flashing. Now, before you do anything drastic, make sure that you’ve solved the puzzle correctly if you’re in a puzzle room. Check whether all three smaller siren statues have their tridents in the correct positions, and shoot the main statue.

If that doesn’t work, or the coral is not glowing as it should be and you’re not in a puzzle room, then you’ve encountered the dreaded glitch that only hopping onto another server can fix. Don’t worry, you won’t have to start the quest completely over. You’ll be allowed to continue from one of the statues that let you return to your ship. They basically work as checkpoints that don’t reset if you jump onto a different server. You might lose a chunk of progress, but not all of it. That said, keep in mind that you might have to hop several servers before all is said and done.

How to Fix Kraken Boss Fight & Puzzles Not Spawning in Sea of Thieves Sunken Pearl Tall Tale

To fix the bug where the Kraken boss fight (or any other fight) won’t spawn, or puzzles won’t spawn in the Sea of Thieves Sunken Pearl Tall Tale, you’re gonna have to go to a different server. This glitch seems to have the same origin as the one above, as do many others. It seems that the lock system the developers placed causes the quest to freak out if you try completing it after another team has already solved it. I doubt they meant to do that, but it’s a nightmare nonetheless. Again, you will be able to start from the last checkpoint you’ve visited, so not all is lost. Take the L, go to a different server, and hope that another crew hasn’t already been there. Rinse and repeat until you get to the end.

      I have a similar issue. I walked partially across the mast to jump off the ship with the chest, and all of the sudden I am in a different room with the large wooden door with Davy’s head on it and I no longer had the chest. Now I can’t get back into the citadel unless I go to my checkpoint. I have no way to get the chest back unless I start all over again.

      Please be careful with checkpoint restarting on this mission. There are certain moments, where you won’t be able to progress, due to a fact that this is a mission in the open world. For example you can’t go through those big cave doors once again with the checkpoint restarting.

      In general the game itself informs you about it when you get back: “To continue XY-quest, use the captain’s table on your ship to resume from your last checkpoint”. When you get there (ship’s quest table), you have an option to propose a quest. On the new window choose Tall Tales, then the quest you want to start at the current checkpoint. The game will drop that book on the table, and you can vote for it. If you do so, the checkpoint will be noted and you can “continue”.

    We experienced a glitch when we encountered another crew who was already into the mermaid citadel. I’m not sure if this was supposed to happen but upon dying twice in the mermaid battle it returned us to our ship (which was across the map) instead of the tall tale. We decided to jump servers. Once we got to the bubble room where you witness the kraken, the coral wouldn’t open the barrier. Much time wasted.

      I had the issue too during the battle. We died and were spawned back at the shipwreck outside the bubble

      Exact same thing happened to me and my friends. We just went with it and worked with the other crew and then right before the final boss they just disappeared. Me and my crew then defeated the final boss and then after that nothing happened. We then realized that none of the progress mattered and we needed to completely restart the tall tale.
