| “ | Part of the ship... Part of the crew... | ” |
— Flying Dutchman's crew motto
|
The Cursed Caverns, found on Isla Tormenta, is a cave populated with wrecked vessels and some of the most dangerous enemies a pirate can face: the crew of the Flying Dutchman.
Surely, this is a cursed place - only the bravest or most fool-hardy dare tread - but at some point, a pirate must come here in order to complete the quest to free The Black Pearl. However, many higher level pirates frequent this location with hope of finding Cursed Blades.
Enemies[]
Though doomed sailors are offered a chance to serve Davy Jones instead of being taken to the other side, their time aboard the Dutchman corrupts them. They become less and less human, and more a part of the ship itself. As they change physically, they also become more brutal and ruthless.

Area[]
The Cursed Caverns are a limestone cavern filled with moss, ferns and sea wreckage similar to that of the Flying Dutchman. It also has underground water streams that can be seen throughout, coming from walls as waterfalls or stagnating in areas as pools. The cave has a greenish atmosphere, giving it a creepy look fit for the Flying Dutchman's Crew.
Entering from the southern tunnel, players will first encounter Spineskulls or Flotsam. Further on, in the first junction, there are more Spineskulls and Flotsam. To the left, players can find several Brinescums. Then, after the sudden hairpin turn, Crash can be found in his grotto, accompanied by more Brinescums, Molusks, and Seabeards. Halfway down the straight corridor and on the right, the revered Gold Room can be found, filled with piles of gold and treasure, guarded by Seabeards and Molusks. Continuing through the corridor, the player will find a small group of Seabeards and Molusks, and a bridge with Brinescums and Kelpbrains.
At the second junction, the player can find a large group of Spineskulls and Flotsam. Continuing straight from the bridge, the player will come across the mast of a wrecked ship, with a group of Seabeards and Molusks. Following the curve in the cavern, the player will come across a smaller junction with a waterfall around a large stony pillar. To the left, the player can find Thrall Hall and the entrance to Forsaken Shallows, guarded by powerful Urchinfists and Thrall Captains. To the right, Jimmy Legs can be found, guarded by Molusks or Seabeards.

Game Notes[]
- This place is best to visit as part of a group of well-seasoned pirates. Nearly every weapon, including grenades and voodoo staff, can be leveled here. Also, by coming as part of a Crew, you will gain bonus reputation and level up faster.
- The same type of enemy will not always appear in a given spot. You may defeat a Molusk, and then a Seabeard will appear in its place.
- Since reaching the Caverns is tedious, it's smart to have a crew member act as a totem for other players to teleport to.
- Once a pirate completes the Raven's Cove Story Quest, they can find Cursed Blades here.
- Stock up on Tonics! You may be using them or giving them to Knocked Out mates.
- Stock up on Steel Shot! It is very powerful against the enemies here.
- This place used to be called Tormenta Caves before its was redone during the Cave Expansion update.
