Beacon locations, Festival of the Damned - Sea of Thieves
Where to find the beacons for the Festival of the Damned commendations and doubloons in Sea of Thieves.
There are 12 beacons scattered across the islands in Sea of Thieves. These beacons were added as part of the Festival of the Damned event, along with a variety of lantern colors. Lighting all the beacons is a great way to earn some extra doubloons, which will help you reach pirate legend!
How to get different lantern colors
As part of the Festival of the Damned, players can now change the light of their lanterns. To do this, you will need to die in a specific fashion and then take the light from the fire on the Ferry of the Damned:
- Green – Killed by skeleton
- Purple – Killed by snake
- Blue – Killed by a shark
- Pink – Killed by a player
- Red – Killed by volcano eruption
- White – Killed by lightning
Once you’ve died to one of the above, go to the middle of the Ferry of the Damned and hold out your lantern. When standing near the Well of Fate, choose the “take flame” option to change your lantern’s color.
With the light claimed, you can now change the lantern colors of your ship or use it to light beacons! Just be aware, dying again will reset your lantern back to orange.
