Clandestine Contact is one of the last Smugglers’ Tide Commendations you can unlock. To complete it, you’ll first need to gain Low-Tide Lottie’s trust and then meet with the Smugglers’ League’s mysterious client. However, earning their trust is no simple feat. You must complete all 18 Smugglers’ League Commendations and unlock the Legendary Commendation, Super Smuggler, before Lottie is ready to share the client’s location!
Complete Lottie's request
To complete Lottie’s request, you will want to work on unlocking the Super Smuggler Title by completing the Super Smuggler Legendary Commendation. You can complete Super Smuggler by completing all 18 Smugglers’ League Commendations. As soon as you achieve all 18, you will complete Super Smuggler Legendary Commendation and unlock the Super Smuggler Title.
As you completed various Commendations on your way to earning the Super Smuggler Title, you also unlocked various Smuggler cosmetics that you’ll need to complete her request. Before starting your journey, make sure you have purchased the following items you unlocked:
- Smuggler Gloves
- Smuggler Jacket
- Smuggler Belt
- Smuggler Trousers
- Smuggler Boots.
- Smugglers’ League Illicit Ink Tattoo
- Fox of Guile Trinket
- Current of Darkness Trinket
- Steel of Waves Trinket
- Wolf of Strength Trinket
- The Fabled Four Trinket
You can purchase the cosmetics from any Clothing Shop and the Trinkets from any Shipwright.
Equip all the clothing cosmetics, tattoo, and Super Smuggler Title, and head to Crescent Isle to speak with Low-Tide Lottie.
After earning the Super Smuggler Title, you will see an additional dialogue option, “Would you say I’m trusted now that I look the part with the Smugglers’ uniform and the Title of ‘Super Smuggler’?”
Choose the dialogue option and Lottie will direct you to the hideout on Wanderer’s Refuge. With your Smuggler clothing on and Trinkets purchased, you are ready to meet the client!
Wanderer's Refuge
Jump onto your ship and set sail to Wanderer’s Refuge. Once there, head toward the large rocky tunnel that cuts through the middle of the island. Hug the South West tunnel wall to find a narrow cave entrance. Walk into the cave, and you will enter the hideout.
If you have all seven pieces of Smuggler cosmetics equipped, you should be able to interact with the map on the table and wall hanging near the locked door.
Place ‘The Fabled Four’ Trinket above the shelf to the left of the door, and then turn your attention to the map to the right of the door.
You will need to solve a puzzle by placing the four Smugglers’ League ship Trinkets in the correct arrangement on the map.
Using clues from the Smugglers’ Chronicles that you collected in Smugglers’ Caches and Shipwrecks, you will place the Trinkets in the following layout:
- Fox of Guile on South East side of map
- Wolf of Strength Trinket on North East side of map
- Current of Darkness Trinket on North West side of map
- Steel of Waves Trinket on South West side of map
If you have correctly placed the Trinkets on the wall and map the locked door will open. Head inside, follow the path, and speak with the client waiting for you at the end.
