Skull and Bones was expected to be one of the biggest releases of 2024, but this game has disappointed players mostly. Though this game has all the features that an action RPG should have, they didn’t match the expectations of the fans, and thus received negative comments. However, if you are grinding through the game to explore the entire story, you have to go through quests and main story quests are one of the compulsory ones among them.

Players can’t progress through the storyline without completing these missions, but not all of them are equally easy to deal with. So, if you are trying to get some help to understand how to complete The Lion and the Rat mission in Skull and Bones, this guide will try to help you with all the necessary information. Before you jump into the mission and get confused about the process of completing it, let’s check the objectives of the Lion and the Rat mission.

Understanding mission objectives makes things easier to a great extent. If you are looking to complete a mission without any confusion and obstacles, the first thing you need to do is to understand what the mission wants you to do.

Steps to Complete The Lion and The Rat Mission in Skull and Bones

This mission will be received after you have progressed a decent distance. This mission will be activated from Scurlock’s Office in Sainte-Anne. However, before you go to the traitor’s location, you need to be prepared for the upcoming fight. Additionally, repair your ship and equipment to initiate and win the fight. Once you are ready to get into the fight, open your map you will find the quest location close to Sainte-Anne. For the exact location, you can check the below map location.

Le Spectre Location

The marked location on the map is the location of the traitor and your first destination. This location is not too far to reach, still, it will take around two minutes to reach the place. The sailing path won’t be smooth as dangers lie everywhere in the sea. You may face stormy weather.

Once you start sailing and sail for some time, you will eventually reach the Bloody Channel. The traitor and his ship will be found on the northern side of the sea. If you are still confused, you can look for the ship on the northwest side of the La Bastide. Use the telescope you have to locate the white-blue sailing ship ahead of you. This ship is sailing and will try to go away. That’s what you need to prevent. You must reach them before they sail away.

Fortunately, the ship won’t sail too fast. So, players can take their time to reach the ships. Don’t rush; instead, watch your stamina and progress accordingly. Once you reach close to the ships, you will see two ships sailing together and the second medium size ship will be the first one that players need to deal with.

This ship is medium in size, but it don’t take it lightly. It can deal hefty damage. So, you need to find the vulnerable part of the ship to complete the quest. We recommend focusing on the bowside of the ship as it will be the best part to deal critical damage.

Once this is done, next you have to focus on the Le Spectre fight. This ship is a little more difficult to deal damage, but still players can easily deal with it if they focus on the backside of the ship. Hitting the backside areas of the ship will deal critical damage.

Once all these activities are done, return to Sainte-Anne and you have to go to the John Scurlock’s office. Once you reach the location and interact with the NPC, and after a few dialogues, he will give you the rewards.

Rewards For Completing The Lion and The Rat Mission

If you have been playing Skull and Bones for some time and reached The Lion and the Rat contract, you must have progressed through the previous ones. So, you are already aware that these contracts give you rewards for completing each of them. Of course, The Lion and the Rat is no exception.

Interaction with John Scurlock

If you complete the mission, you will receive the following rewards:

  • 700 Infamy,
  • 1150 Silver,
  • Cully’s Choice Ship Cosmetic,
  • Scurlock’s Chasers Weapon.

Among these rewards, the most exciting one is  Scurlock’s Chasers Weapon. This is a long weapon with Cannonballs ammo and Mast Breaker, Tearing II, and Piercing III perks. This weapon has a wide weapon range that spreads up to 1,000 meters, with 0.60 seconds fire rate, and 1362 damage.

That’s all you need to do to complete The Lion and the Rat mission in Skull and Bones. This mission is not tough, but a bit confusing, if you are not sure about the location of the ship you are looking for. The remaining process is nothing tough. However, this fight will take some time and wise movements, so you can deal damage to the enemy ship without getting more damage. So, don’t rush the fight and follow the process we have suggested.
