How to Complete the Underground Network Quest in Windrose

Windrose Underground Network Quest Walkthrough

The Underground Network is a relatively easy quest you can unlock early in Windrose. You'll need to be at recommended player level three, and it can be cleared with your starter loadout. However, the quest has several tasks to complete, and let’s look at what needs to be done.

Ask Around on Tortuga About the Smugglers

Your first task is to sail to Tortuga and follow the quest marker. You’ll eventually reach a tavern that has several NPCs inside. Here, you can gather valuable information about the smugglers.

Talk to Long Ben in the Tavern

First, speak with Long Ben. He will describe the recent events and brief you about the ongoing attacks. According to Long Ben, he will instruct you to speak with one of the smugglers, as they have the responsibility of maintaining the stocks.

Talk to Marita at the Smuggler’s Base

Next, take your ship and reach the objective marker to speak with Marita at the smuggler’s base. She will provide additional context for your mission and inform you about Hale.

Find Hale

Your next task is to look for Hale, whose location is near the smuggler’s base. Be cautious, as you may encounter Blackbeard’s forces. Look for an underground entrance hidden under leaves, head down to the passage, and defeat the beast guarding the room. You’ll learn more about Hale’s situation.

Return to Marita and Talk to Long Ben

After gathering information about Hale, return to Marita. She will ask you to speak with Long Ben since he knew Hale and there’s a debt to be paid. When you tell Ben about what has happened with Hale, he will ask you to do justice with Marlowe, who has broken the code and sided with the authorities.

Find and Sink Marlowe’s Ship

Your final task is to intercept Marlowe’s ship, which will be marked on your map. Avoid engaging with Blackbeard’s ships in the area. Look for a ship named Bony Sue. It’s a level three vessel, and won’t take long to be taken down. Once you succeed, return to Long Ben to claim your rewards, which include 50 Piastre, five Letters of Favor, two Brandy, two Madeira, and two Whiskey.
