Phantoms have stashed a tremendous stolen treasure inside the Sea Forts across the Sea of Thieves. To help defend it, the Phantoms have called in reinforcements. If you plan on partaking in the Dark Fortress Raids, you must defeat more than just Phantoms. A mighty Ghost Ship Fleet and a fearsome Phantom Jailor stand between you and the vaults brimming with loot.
What is the Dark Fortress Raids Event?
During Dark Fortress Raids, you can embark on a time-limited Voyage, A Raid on a Dark Fortress. The Voyage is a more challenging variant of the Raid of a Sea Fort, with Ghost Ships and a Phantom Jailor to defeat.
While there aren’t any cosmetic rewards to unlock during this Event, the amount of Gold and Reputation you can earn from the Voyage more than makes up for it. If you complete the Raid on a Dark Fortress, you can collect around 100,000 Gold from the Voyage without raising an Emissary Flag.
Since the Voyage is so lucrative, you’ll find that you can only start the Voyage three times during the Event.
The Dark Fortress Raids Event will be active from February 14th (10:00 AM UTC) to February 20th (10:00 AM UTC).

I just completed the dark sea fort. The amount of loot was identical to the regular forts with extra steps. Grade 5 guild flag and barely brok 20k. Don’t waste your time.
Did you happen to sail to the Sea Fort instead of dive? Pirates have been reporting that diving to the Voyage ensures you get the extra loot at the Sea Fort.
Bom dia. Passando pra agradecer, das 3 missões, do forte sombrio e 2 bugaram embaixo d’água. Fiz elas mergulhando como avisaram, porque se fizesse no server dava bug mesmo. Não é de hoje que este problema ocorrerá e vocês não fazem nada hein
