Coffins Beneath the Waves
Coffins Beneath the Waves is a Dark and Darker quest assigned by the Navigator merchant, part of the A Debt to Be Repaid quest line. Have you seen the large, shell-like structures scattered across the Ship Graveyard? Among sailors, they’re known as mermaid coffins, though no one truly knows what lies within. My brother once studied them. It doesn’t matter much anymore, but still... I’d like to know the truth, if only for his sake. Please, take a look inside one of those coffins. The objective is to interact with mermaid coffin ×5. All progress requires a successful extraction — items retrieved or kills made during a failed run do not count toward quest completion. Once every objective is fulfilled, return to Navigator in the lobby to turn in the quest and receive the reward. This quest requires completing Shadow of the Past before it becomes available from Navigator. Completing Coffins Beneath the Waves rewards 100 XP, 100 Gold, Random Uncommon Weapon. The quest is completed in Ship Graveyard. Merchant quests in Dark and Darker are one of the most consistent gold and experience sources in the game, independent of loot luck on the Trading Post. Completing the full Navigator quest chain unlocks higher reward tiers and increases merchant affinity, which can affect prices and open additional quest tiers in future seasons. The A Debt to Be Repaid chain provides a structured progression path through the Navigator quest tree, and finishing each quest in order is the fastest route to the higher value objectives later in the line. Use the MetaBot Dark and Darker quest tracker to check all open objectives across every active merchant before extracting, so you can turn in multiple quests from a single run and get the most value out of each session.
