While the stand-out feature in Sea of Thieves: A Pirate’s Life is undoubtedly the chance for players to sail and fight alongside the legendary Captain Jack Sparrow, there are plenty of other great features players can experience not only in the Tall Tales, but also throughout the world. Sea of Thieves: A Pirate’s Life includes a new powerful, limited-use weapon called the Trident of Dark Tides. The Trident of Dark Tides only has about 30 charges before it is rendered useless, but it can help a crew gain the advantage against the new enemies they will face in the Tall Tale and beyond. The Trident of Dark Tides in Sea of Thieves: A Pirate’s Life creates a bubble of energy that, when burst, can knock enemies back and do significant damage.

The amount of charge spent when using the Trident of Dark Tides will depend on the size of the bubble players create. The large bubbles cost three charges but are the most powerful. Bubbles can also be burst early by shooting them or launching a second bubble projectile at the first. There are many places in Sea of Thieves where players have a chance to get a Trident of Dark Tides, similar to the Ashen Winds Skull. Here’s how to find a Trident of Dark Tides in Sea of Thieves: A Pirate’s Life.
Where To Find A Trident of Dark Tides in Sea of Thieves
The Trident of Dark Tides in Sea of Thieves: A Pirate’s Life is the preferred weapon of Siren Leaders. Pirate crews may now encounter these beautiful, dangerous creatures throughout the world like they would encounter a Kraken or Megalodon, and they can also encounter these enemies when searching shipwrecks. Defeating a Siren Leader comes with a chance to get a Trident of Dark Tides drop, though it is not always guaranteed. Thankfully, there are many other options for players to get their hands on this powerful weapon.
The other ways to get a Trident of Dark Tides include:
- Finding one washed up on island shores or just off island shores
- Defeating Megalodons, Krakens, and Skeleton Ships
- Opening Skeleton Fort Vaults
- Searching Shipwrecks
- Playing the A Pirate’s Life Tall Tales
Because it is still early in the season, it is possible Rare will add more drops of the Trident of Dark Tides for other activities as Sea of Thieves: A Pirate’s Life progresses.
It is possible for pirates to drop their Trident of Dark Tides before it has run out of charges. If this happens, the weapon will glint at a distance, just like treasure, making it easier for players to find. This will also help them locate one that has washed up on the shore or one inside a Shipwreck. As pirates use the Trident of Dark Tides in Sea of Thieves: A Pirate’s Life, the glowing gem will grow duller to signal approximately how many charges the weapon has left. When it goes fully dark, players should drop the Trident and begin the search for a new one.
Sea of Thieves is available for PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
