You’ll need to complete 11 Deeds during the A Dark Deception Adventure. You will meet the requirements for most of the Deeds as you tackle the Adventure. However, you can miss some Deeds, such as the ones requiring you to find a rat.

The 11 Deeds are:
- Meet your Mysterious Contact
- Speak to Madame Olivia
- Obtain the Pocket Watch
- Obtain a Figurehead Fragment
- Search the Blackwyche
- Obtain an Enchanted Compass
- Search near Madame Olive
- Locate the Stolen Treasure
- Search Port Merrick
- Uncover the Truth
- Complete the Adventure
Meet your Mysterious Contact
To complete this Deed, you must talk to the Mysterious Contact waiting for you on the Uncharted Island at N13. As soon as you start the Adventure by talking with Larinna, head to your ship’s Map Table and plot a course for the map coordinates N13. Even though you can’t see the island you are looking for on your Map Table, it is there!
Once at the coordinates N13, look for a small shallow island with a prominent red plant. You will find the Mysterious Contact on the island’s West side. Speak with them to complete the Deed.
Speak to Madame Olivia
To complete this Deed, you must speak with Madame Olivia on Plunder Outpost. After speaking with the Mysterious Contact, they will give you a list of orders, one of which is to meet with Madame Olivia. So, with your directives in hand, set sail for Plunder Outpost in The Ancient Isles.
Once you are there, head to the Order of Souls pavilion on the Outpost and speak with Madame Olivia. As soon as you do, you will complete the Deed.
Obtain the Pocket Watch
To complete this Deed, you must acquire the Pocket Watch kept safe by Madame Olivia. If you speak with her, you’ll learn she won’t just hand it over. Instead, you’ll need to take it while she is distracted.
To distract here, head to the back of the Tavern on the Outpost. You’ll find a door there that you can interact with and knock. Knock on the door three times, and a rat will appear.
It will scurry over to the Order of Souls pavilion and distract Madame Olivia. While she is trying to chase away the rat, you can pick up the Pocket Watch and complete the Deed.
Obtain a Figurehead Fragment
You obtain a Figurehead Fragment from the Burning Blade on Shipwreck Bay to complete this Deed. Once you reach Shipwreck Bay, you’ll see the Burning Blade beached on the island’s South side. There is no easy way up to the figurehead, so you’ll need to cannon yourself up there.
Dock your ship on the West side of the Burning Blade and shoot yourself from your ship’s cannon onto the shipwreck. Once on top of the Burning Blade, you can use the ladders near the front to climb down and interact with the figurehead. You will always fail to obtain the first Figurehead Fragment, so you’ll need to climb back up the ladder and get to the other side to interact with the other Figurehead Fragment. As soon as you interact with the second Figurehead Fragment, you will complete the Deed.
Search the Blackwyche
While on Shipwreck Bay collecting the Figurehead Fragment, you’ll also want to enter the Captian’s Cabin of the Blackwyche. Inside, behind the table in the cabin, you will find a rat. Interact with the rat to complete the Deed.

Obtain an Enchanted Compass
To complete this Deed, you must speak with Madame Olive at Sanctuary Outpost after collecting the Pocket Watch and Figurehead Fragment. You can find Madame Olive in the Order of Souls pavilion on the North East side of the Outpost.
Using both items, Madame Olive can perform a ritual to create an Enchanted Compass. She will add the Enchanted Compass to your Quest Radial as soon as the ceremony ends, and you will complete the Deed.
Search near Madame Olive
While on Shipwreck Bay collecting the Enchanted Compass, you’ll also want to investigate the East side of the Order of Souls pavilion. Just underneath the stairs to the Pirate Emporium, you will find another rat. Interact with the rat to complete the Deed.

Locate the Stolen Treasure
You must follow the Enchanted Compass to Port Merrick to complete this Deed. Once on Port Merrick, continue to follow the compass to the Tavern. Head to the corner of the Tavern where the Mysterious Stranger is and interact with the rat by the bench near an entrance. Follow the rat down into the cellar below the Tavern.
Continue following the Enchanted Compass from the cellar into the underground water tunnel. Head right, and you will find a small hole in a stone wall.
Interact with the hole, and a rat will scurry out to open a nearby stone door revealing a secret area. Head inside to complete the Deed.
Search Port Merrick
To complete this Deed, you must interact with the rat underneath the bookshelf in the Tavern on Port Merrick. If you followed the directions for the ‘Locate the Stolen Treasure’ Deed, you will have already completed this Deed.
