Walkthrough
The Sea-Worn Mega Hoard!
Head to Professor Palm on HUB. She explains that the Black Duskull Crew has camped at Sharpedo Reef and that she spotted something suspicious in their haul, it looks like an artifact stolen from a local sailor years ago.
"I don't know if you've visited Sharpedo Reef recently, but some pirates calling themselves the Black Duskull Crew have turned a portion of it into a camp. It really isn't a good look for Loa'ai."
"I need you to figure out a way to retrieve it. As much as I didn't like listening to the old man yap about his treasure, it's sad to see something stolen from someone."
Palm mentions a mysterious sailor who stopped talking about his artifact after repeated pirate raids on his ship. Head to Sharpedo Reef Dock to find him first.
Talk to the Old Sailor
Find the Sailor at the dock in HUB. He confirms his artifact was stolen long ago and excitedly gives a description: a brilliant, pure blue orb that blinds those who stare too long. He also tips you off about the camp.
"It is a brilliant, pure, blue orb. Light shines off of it in a way that might blind a man if he stares too long! Trust me, you'll know it when you see it."
"May the seas be at your back. If you plan on taking them on, know that they don't typically play fair. It'll likely be a 2 vs 1."
The pirates fight 2v1. Prepare your team before heading into the camp.
Talk to the Pirates & Defeat them
Head into the pirate camp at HUB. You walk in on an internal argument about selling their haul to a mysterious corporation. When you demand the artifact, the pirates seem confused they refer to it by a different name entirely. Dialogue breaks down and a fight breaks out.
"Listen kid, no way we're handing over that mega stone to you. So you can just be on your way now." — Black Duskull Corsair
Defeat Black Duskull Pirate 1 & Pirate 2.
2v1 Battle — Both pirates fight at the same time. Wide-hitting moves and a sturdy lead Pokémon are recommended.
Talk to the Pirate Boss
After defeating the crew, the Black Duskull Corsair personally steps in. He suspects the player intends to return the stone to the Sailor so he can sell it to the corporation and refuses to surrender without a fight.
"And if it returns to the sailor, he'll just sell it! I'm not letting you put your hands in something you know nothing about!" — Black Duskull Corsair
Defeat the Black Duskull Corsair.
Boss Battle (1v1) — The captain is noticeably stronger than his crew. Heal up between fights if you can.
Defeat the Pirate Boss
With the captain defeated, you recover the stone and order the pirates to clear out of Sharpedo Reef. The Corsair, reluctantly, agrees to pack up.
"You'll find out soon enough. Just take the Gyaradosite and leave us be."
"I don't have any intention of staying if that stone gets in the wrong hands anyways. We'll pack up soon."
You receive: Gyaradosite
Return to the Sailor — The Twist
Bring the stone back to the Sailor at the dock. The reveal: it was never the legendary blue orb, it's his old Gyaradosite, which he was actually planning to sell. He's thrilled all the same, and gives the stone to the player as thanks. He then points you to his niece on Main Isle.
"HAHAHAHAHA! That's my old Gyaradosite! Good work, lad! I never thought I'd see it again!"
"Go back to Main Isle and talk to my Niece — she'll give you something else of mine that you'll need to work that thing. Tell her Uncle Jerry sent you."
Talk to the the Old Sailor's Niece
Find Gloria (Jerry's niece) on Spawn. After explaining the situation, she hands over the Mega Band — the wrist device required to activate Mega Evolution in battle.
"It's called a Mega Band. It'll let you transform your Gyarados to its Mega Form if it's holding the stone. Obviously it'll also work with any Mega Pokémon you might have too!" — Gloria
✨ You receive: Mega Band
Report Back to Professor Palm
Return to Professor Palm at her Lab to close out the quest. She pieces together the whole story on her own — no legendary orb, just a Gyaradosite and a Mega Band, but a great adventure regardless.
"HAH! As if I'd believe that!" — Prof. Palm, on being told pirates don't actually say "Arr"

Lore & Story Notes
🧭 Who is the Sailor?
The Sailor nicknamed "Uncle Jerry" by his niece Gloria was once famous in Lo'ai for his tales about a legendary blue orb said to summon a colossal marine Pokémon. After repeated pirate raids on his ship, he stopped talking about it publicly, leading Professor Palm to believe the artifact had been stolen.
In reality, what the pirates had was his Gyaradosite, a different item he had actually been planning to sell. The true location of the legendary blue orb remains completely unknown.
☠️ What was the Corsair's real motive?
The Pirate Corsair is not straightforwardly villainous. He implies the Sailor was planning to sell the Gyaradosite to a mysterious corporation, and that he took it to keep it out of their hands. He only fights the player because he believes they're acting on behalf of that organization.
This hints at a larger conflict involving an unknown group with interest in Mega Stones a thread that may continue in future quests.
🔵 What about the legendary blue orb?
The legendary blue orb; described as brilliant, pure blue, and nearly blinding is a completely separate item from the Gyaradosite. It was never found at Sharpedo Reef. The Sailor promises to contact the player through Professor Palm if he ever gets a lead on it.
Its ultimate purpose and current whereabouts remain a mystery in the Lo'ai Region.
Tips
Two battles happen back to back. Stock up on healing items before entering the pirate camp, or make sure your team is at full health.
The Mega Band works for ALL Mega Pokémon, not just Gyarados. If you already have a compatible Mega, this is a major power unlock from the moment Gloria hands it to you.
The blue orb and the Gyaradosite are two different things. The legendary artifact storyline is unresolved don't expect to find the orb during this quest.
FAQ
The pirate camp NPCs won't talk to me. What do I do?
Make sure you have fully completed the Tutorial Quest first — the Mega Quest chain won't activate until the tutorial is finished. If the tutorial is done and NPCs are still unresponsive, open a ticket
Open a ticket in Discordor send a mail to [email protected]
I defeated the pirates but the boss fight didn't trigger. Am I stuck?
After defeating Pirate 1 & 2, the Corsair's dialogue should start automatically. Try walking away from the camp and returning to re-trigger the NPC.

I can't find the Sailor at Hub.
The Sailor is at the dock area of hub, not inside the pirate camp. Look along the waterfront he should be standing near the edge of the pier, nxt to the mary ship. You can also follow the quest compass
I already have a Mega Band or Gyaradosite. Will I get a duplicate?
Yes, the quest rewards both items regardless. A second Gyaradosite can be used on another Gyarados, and for the band, make sure this works, as pooevious mega bands from forge dont work with the current megastones.
Does the Mega Band only work with Gyarados?
No. The Mega Band works with any Mega-capable Pokémon as long as it holds its corresponding Mega Stone. The Gyaradosite is Gyarados-specific, but the band itself is universal any Mega Stone you find later will work with it.
Will I ever find the legendary blue orb the Sailor talked about?
Not in this quest. The blue orb is a completely separate item from the Gyaradosite and its location is currently unknown in Lo'ai. The Sailor hints he'll contact the player through Professor Palm if he gets a lead — this thread is likely to continue in a future quest.
