Skullduggery Island is the latest island on Poptropica, a well known online game. Paid subscribers have had access since May, and the general public can play starting on June 17. It is the longest and most in-depth island in Poptropica so far. Check out the full walkthrough with all the Poptropica cheats for Skullduggery Island.
When you arrive by balloon, you’ll be in Fort Ridley, which is where the first part of Skullduggery Island takes place. For the first part of the island, you will collect items that lead to other items and clues. Once you’ve got a ship, buying and selling and battles will be part of the island quest.
Travel down Main Street to the right and cross the covered bridge. Once you cross the bridge, continue down the hill and then to the left into the water, where you’ll go back to the left and then discover a doubloon lying on the ground.
Go back up and over the bridge to the left. Next run over to the General Store and make use of the doubloon in your backpack to obtain a bag of chicken feed from the person inside.
Give the feed to the boy with the chickens. He will be really happy and will give you a chicken as a present.
Head to the right again, across the bridge to the corn farm. Open your backpack and click to use the chicken. It will go onto the ground and eat all the bugs. The man will be so happy and give you a blue candle as a gift.
Go up the hill and run past the house on the top and go back down to the ocean below. You’ll see a woman there. Talk to her and she will tell you about her husband who has been lost at sea.
Go into the house which you see on top of the hill and talk to the two men there. Use the blue candle that the corn farmer gave you to reveal the missing part of the document. The Goverrnor will explain the story of the lost Treasure Map and will ask you to find the pieces and defeat the terrible pirate, Captain Crawfish.
Go back all the way to the left and jump up to the top of the tower with the soldiers in it. Use the telescope up on the roof and move it around until you spot a small raft with torn sails on the horizon. Use the broken mirror to signal the raft which will sail into the pier.
A man will walk out onto the pier to meet you. He is the husband of the woman you talked to near the ocean. He gives you his ship, which is now crewed by a cabin boy and the old sailor from the fort.
Aboard your ship, embark and sail to Dragon Cove, up and to the left of Fort Ridley. While you’re sailing try to steer clear from the sea monsters and pirate ships. When you locate salvage in the water, try to pick it up.
When you arrive at Dragon Cove, click on the dock to explore the island. Now you can search for the first map piece which is hidden here in Dragon Cove. Jump down into the water and stand on top of the statue that is floating there. You’ll find a mallet which will go into your backpack. Shove the fisherman who is sitting on the wooden crate all the way to the right, past the gong. Then use the mallet in your backpack to hit the gong. This will send fish up for the old man to catch, and he will give you the map piece. You cannot immediately afford a new ship, or the services of the Shipwright, who can repair damage while underway. Ships and crew cost thousands of doubloons. Visit the trading post and purchase all of the Silk from the trader that you are able to. If you have any Spice, sell it here.
The next stop is Bouffant Bay, which is in the top-right corner. Pick up any salvage you spot along the way.
You can assist the worker on the dock, but you will not require his clue. Walk a bit over to the right and go to the Trading Post, where you will want to sell whatever silk you have. This trading post sells Medicine at a very cheap price so buy as much as you can while you are here. Now we’re off to find the map piece. First, walk to the right until you arrive at a house with the hanging baskets. Hop up and knock the third basket on the right, then the first basket on the left and then the second basket in the middle. The map piece will appear. If you go inside Willard’s Warehouse to the left, you can find the Cargo Master crew member. When he is with you, your ship can carry 50% more cargo than without him. He is also not affordable at the start. Don’t forget to make sure you bought the Medicine cargo from the trading post because you’ll want to sell it at the next port.
And now we’re on to the next destination. Embark on your ship and sail down to Parrot Port. Sell your salvage and cargo, but there is no cargo to cheaply purchase here. Head inside Petey’s Pirate Pub and you’ll find the Navigator. When you hire her she increases the speed of your ship, but if this is your first trip around the islands, she’s too expensive to hire for now. At upper left is a Cracker. Go back to the Trading Post and locate the Parrot. The parrot is kind of weird and tells you to jump into the sea and then to come back and try to find it. Go back to your boat and swim in the ocean, then find the parrot on the window sill of one of the buildings above the Trading Post. The parrot will tell you to clog the vent and he’s talking about a chimney on top of one of the other buildings over to the right. Go stand on that chimney to stop the smoke from coming out. You can find the parrot in the palm tree over to the right. He tells you to go to the old tower and find a pirate that he knows. Head back to the left and you will find the tower near the dock where you arrived. The pirate is standing up top. Click on him and he’ll tell you to return his parrot for a reward. All parrots like crackers, so use the one in your backpack to get the parrot to fly to you. Then the pirate will give you a map piece.
Now you want to emark for Golden Harbor, which is located due south of Parrot Port. There are many dangerous rocks and reefs around the island so try to avoid them. If you visit the bank, you can take out a loan that gives you more money to purchase more cargo and earn profits much faster. The loan is good for us to 20 days but carries a 5% interest per day, so it adds up quickly. As with all the other islands, there’s a hidden piece of the map here. To get it, you need to figure out how to light three lanterns outside. It can be tricky because each time you light one lantern, certain others go out. The specific order is to get the lantern on the far right first the fifth lantern. Then get the third lantern, followed by the fourth one. Finally, get the second and then finally the first lantern far left. The map piece appears in a draped archway. Before you depart Golden Harbor, visit the trading post and buy as much grain as you can.
Now, get back in your ship and sail West until you arrive at the Pirate Outpost. Find the trading post. Then sell all of your grain at a profit and buy as much spice as you possibly can. Climb up the giant skull, jumping over hostile pirates. Inside you’ll find the Cannoneer crewmember who helps improve your cannon fire rate when battling pirate ships and sea creatures. You can hire him later. At the top of the mast is a “cannon starter kit” fuses, which will fire any of the four cannons on the outpost. Push the small barrel of explosives off the mast and into the water below. Swim it over to directly under the Golden Tooth of the rock skull. Go left and fire the cannon there. The cannonball fires and lands on the explosive barrel. The big explosion knocks the gold tooth out of the skull and reveals the hidden piece of the map.
Next, start following a trade route by returning to Dragon Cove to sell your spice. If you follow this simple clockwise trading route and buy and sell the same goods as you did on the first trip, you’ll start to amass a lot of doubloons so that you can buy bigger ships and hire crew. You can use any trading routes you want, but this basic circle will get you profits faster than any other way. On each loop through, if you have enough money to upgrade your ship, do it at the shipbuilders. Bigger ships have bigger holds for carrying more cargo. That means you’ll earn more profits very quickly.
Winning the Game: When you’ve got the largest class of ship, the Phoenix Warbird, and the skilled Cannoneer, you are more than a match for any ship, even Captain Crawfish. When you’re ready to fight Captain Crawfish, sail down to Skullduggery Island in the lower left section of the map and he’ll turn up for battle. Once you defeat Captain Crawfish in battle, sail back to Fort Ridley. When you arrive, go back to the house with the Governor inside. He will give you the location of the Buried Treasure and a Bone Shovel to dig it up.
Get back on your ship and sail to Skullduggery Island. Dock there and then go to the hill with the flag. Then walk six paces to the right, and use the bone shovel to dig up the treasure. Once you have dug uo the treasure, Captain Crawfish re-appears with his crew, including the Governor’s aide who turns out to be working with Crawfish!
There’s no fight here, however. Your trusty crew arrives on your ship and defeats Captain Crawfish and his crew. You return to Fort Ridley with the treasure and the Governor gives you the Island Medallion as a reward.
