Sea of Thieves: Find golden bananas and win money - how it works
The developer of Sea of Thieves has hidden golden bananas in the game, which can be found by the community. The profit that attracts many in-game sailors to the high seas is real fruit made from pure gold. In our article you will learn everything about how to participate in the search and how you have a chance of winning the main prize.
Requirements: Find and win golden bananas
Rare and Microsoft have launched a huge treasure hunt in Sea of Thieves, with a real physical prize to be won: up to four golden bananas, each worth around £ 20, 000. So not only is there a lot of fun waiting for you in the pirate adventure, which is even possible via crossplay with your friends, but playing could also pay off. As with any competition, however, there are some prerequisites for participation. So that you don't bother to find the golden bananas for nothing, follow these first:
- You must be at least 18 years old.
- Only members of the community from certain countries are allowed to participate. If you live in Germany, Australia, France, Great Britain, Canada or the USA, you can participate.
- You participate alone or in a group of up to four players, in which a captain is chosen.
- You do not have to own Sea of Thieves - so it is enough if you play the game via the Xbox Game Pass, for example.
Indications of the golden bananas
If you want to take part in the exciting treasure hunt, you should first visit this Sea of Thieves website. You will find an old letter there. It initially had spaces, but these have now been filled in because the solutions to the puzzles have already been solved. However, you can try it yourself:
- If you want to puzzle yourself, simply do not pay attention to the completed letter, but scroll to the information below on the website. As an example, we explain the first of them.
- Switch to the first hint: you will see a note with a few lines. Some of the letters are encircled, creating the message "Instagram Rare LTD".
- On the Rare Instagram account you will find a post with a monkey eating bananas as a hint. The animal clears you from a parchment on which you can find the actual note: "More than Two Words of advice: What's missing? What's a Sema For?". Below you will find symbols.
- A "semaphore" is a signal mast in nautical science that can be used to transmit characters in the alphabet. So translate the characters on the message using this alphabet.
- The solution is: First Outpost.
Find the golden bananas in-game
Solve all the instructions yourself or take a look at the solutions in the composite letter. Read the lines carefully for advice on where to look for golden bananas at sea or on the islands. If you actually find the treasure, you can contact the developer directly and get paid.
