Sea of Thieves: Where to find Merrick

In Lost Sands, the latest Sea of Thieves adventure, you must fight for the Golden Sands Outpost's survival. If you choose Hunter's Path, you'll find yourself working for Merrick, a long-time Sea of Thieves NPC. To accomplish his questline, you won't need to do anything, but you will need to cruise to a few different locations, and he can be difficult to find right away.

Where is Merrick in Sea of Thieves Lost Sands?

It's relatively easy to find Merrick if you've started the main adventure in Lost Sands by chatting with Larinna at any Outpost and choosing Hunter's Path as your first questline. Simply travel to Golden Sands, which is marked on your map as D10, and he will be waiting for you outside the Gold Hoarder's Tent. He's all set to assign you chores to aid in the rebuilding of Golden Sands' bustling outpost.

You'll need to go get a crate of rum bottles from Tina on Cannon Cove at G10 and a bolt of sailcloth from Sharon at Smuggler's Bay at F3 once you've spoken with Merrick and confirmed that you wish to continue on the Hunter's Path. Returning those products to Merrick in any condition will advance and complete the Hunter's Path, but delivering your cargo in pristine condition will complete a couple of the Deeds required to earn the title of Victor of Golden Sands. So be careful not to get the sailcloth wet.
