When you arrive on Skullduggery Island, you’ll see that the fort is all destroyed.
Fort Ridley
Go right ’til you arrive at this small hill, then click to go right. Talk to the girl and she’ll say she wants someone to fetch her coin. Go under the hill and click go left. When you get there, pick up the Doubloon (a type of coin that pirates use).
Go to the shop and press “Use” on the doubloon to get a Bag of Feed for chickens. Then head right until you see this shelf with a Broken Mirror on top. Click on it and she’ll say you can have it for free.
Exit, then go left until you see this guy with chickens. Press “Use” on the Feed and he’ll give reward you with a Chicken.
Then go right and up the hill and go even more right till you see a guy with bugs destroying his crops. Click “Use” on the Chicken and he’ll reward you with a Blue Candle.
Head further right till you see a bunch of rocks. Jump on the rocks till you reach the top and go right to find the mansion. Go inside the mansion and head right to talk to the governor. He’ll give you a message that has some part that will only be able to be read under the blue candle.
Click “Use” on the blue candle and he’ll show you the rest of the message.
Now, exit and go back to the first part of Fort Ridley. You’ll see a building with a soldier holding a musket. Climb up the building to find the telescope.
Press “Use” on the broken mirror and you’ll have to keep looking through the telescope until you see a small raft. (Hint – Scroll the telescope all the way left.)
Press the mirror icon in the bottom left corner when you see the raft and you’ll shine a signal. Then he’ll respond back and a message will say he’s approaching. He comes back and he gives you his raft.
There are only two other guys on it for now, but don’t worry, you can expand your crew later. Right now, though, let’s find the map pieces!
Bouffant Bay
To find the Map piece here, you talk to this one guy who says it’s on 312 Hanging Fern Way. Go right till you find hanging ferns. Remember… 3-1-2 is the order you need to hit.
- 3rd fern
- 1st fern
- 2nd fern
When you hit them in this order, a map piece will fall. Grab it. You will need to assemble the rest of your Skullduggery Archipelago Map by finding all the map pieces on various islands in this archipelago.
Parrot Port
To find this Map piece, you need to talk to the parrot. He’ll tell you to jump in the sea and then come find him.
Jump in the ocean and then go on top of the second building (not including the tower). He will be on this window. Then he’ll tell you to clog the vent and see where he went. Go to the building to the right with the vent. Stand on it to clog it, and then go right and jump in the last palm tree where the bird is in.
Then he’ll tell you to go to the tower, and you’ll find a friend. There will be a pirate and he’ll award you the map piece if you bring back the parrot. To find the parrot, you need a Cracker, which is in the top left corner of the pub (location indicated by the red outlined square in this picture):
When you’re outside, press “Use” on the cracker and the parrot will fly to you. Then click on the pirate and he’ll give you the Map piece.
Golden Harbor
To get this Map piece, you need to light the lamps in a specific order: the first, second, and fourth.
Count the lamps and then do this. Light the fourth lamp first, which is right next to the gate. Then light up second lamp, which is on the first building. Next, light the first lamp, which is the first lamp you saw when you came.
If you light them up in this order, the map piece will come out of the gate next to the fourth lamp.
Pirate Outpost
To get this one, you need to go to the very top of the place. Jump on the post and pick up the Cannon Starter Kit at the top near the cannonry, just under the Jolly Roger flag.
You will also need to find an explosive barrel somewhere in the middle of the place. Push the explosive all the way down under the golden tooth of the skull. Click on the cannon a little left of the big skull.
When it hits the explosive, the gold tooth will fall out and then there will be a map piece sticking out.
Dragon Cove
In the water, step on the first dragon head. You will get the Mallet.
Bang the gong with the mallet. Then move the man with the fishing pole to where the fish jump. When he catches a fish, he will give you a map piece.
Ships
You can also upgrade your ship by visiting the merchant at “Ship Shape” in Dragon Cove. It’s recommended that you upgrade to the next best ship as soon as you have enough doubloons, because it will hold more cargo and move faster.
You will also receive a discount from the sticker price of the next ship depending on how strong your previous ship was. Once you buy a new ship, your previous one will be gone.
| Image | Ship Name | Price | Cargo |
 |
Raft (default) | — | 20 |
 |
Jimmy Rigger | 3,000 | 60 |
 |
Carabelle | 9,000 | 200 |
 |
Sea Sultan | 30,000 | 600 |
 |
The Koi | 90,000 | 1,800 |
 |
Steaming Fury | 300,000 | 5,000 |
 |
Phoenix Warbird | 1,000,000 | 6,000 |
Although people have reported being able to defeat Captain Crawfish without the Phoenix Warbird, it is still recommended that you get it because it will make your final battle with him much easier than if you were using a weaker ship.
Skullduggery Island
You will need to gather doubloons (1 million or a little less) to buy the Phoenix Warbird at Dragon Cove. Again, it’s recommended that you upgrade to the next best ship as soon as you have enough doubloons, because it will hold more cargo and move faster. Note that you will need patience, as it will take quite a while to gather all those doubloons.
You will also need doubloons to assemble your crew. It’s best to buy all four crew mates (you can find people asking prices to be hired on every island except Golden Harbor) to beat the many enemies that will come. Here’s the list of all the crew mates:
- Cabin Boy (default)
- Cook (default)
- Cargo Master (found at Bouffant Bay) – gives extra cargo space depending on your current ship model; costs 15,000 doubloons
- Navigator (found at Parrot Port) – increases ship speed; costs 12,000 doubloons
- Cannoneer (found at Pirate Outpost) – loads cannons quicker; costs 20,000 doubloons
- Shipwright (found at Dragon Cove) – repairs ship without docking; costs 20,000 doubloons
The Cargo Master will be of use early on, but for the other crew members, it’s up to you whether you want to get them now or at the end.
Tips for Making Lots of Doubloons Easily
The best way to gain a lot of doubloons is to go from island to island in a clockwise direction, buying as much of the cheapest item as you can, then selling it all on the next island where it becomes most expensive and buying max of the cheapest again. Also, remember to collect salvages from the waters. If some other ship begins shooting at you, it’s best to run away rather than get beat.
Buying & Selling: What & Where
- Parrot Port – Buy: Grain, Sell: Medicine
- Pirate Outpost – Buy: Spice, Sell: Grain
- Dragon Cove – Buy: Silk, Sell: Spice
- Bouffant Bay – Buy: Medicine, Sell: Silk
Other Doubloon Tips
- Sell your salvages at the next island you dock at to clear more space for the suggested item you need to buy. Buy the max amount you can because you will profit at your next stop.
- Don’t stop to buy/sell anything at Golden Harbor; it’s not as profitable.
- When you go to the Pirate Outpost to sell the grain, steer your ship carefully and near Fort Ridley, in case you have to dock, because that area is filled with pirates. Try to avoid Skullduggery Island as well, since there are more dangers in that area, and only go there when it’s time.
- If you don’t mind risking your ship’s health, you can attack the sea monsters and other ships to earn extra doubloons and cargo when you defeat them. Otherwise, avoid them.
- You can get a loan at the Golden Harbor bank if you’re in a hurry for some doubloons, but keep in mind that you can’t take out any more loans until you’ve paid it back. Also, you won’t be allowed to buy a new ship if you don’t pay your loans, so be wise if you decide to take any out.
Battling the Boss
After you have assembled your crew and purchased the Phoenix Warbird from Dragon Cove, go to Skullduggery Island, which will show up when you have gotten all five map pieces.
Captain Crawfish’s ship will appear near Skullduggery Island. Keep trying to hit it with your cannons and don’t let him get out of your sight because he will keep healing.
If he only has a little health left and you have a lot, run your ship into his. It drains health from you and him very quickly, so only do this when he has a tiny bit of health and you have a lot. He will die quickly.
Once you defeat him, go back to the Governor in Fort Ridley and talk to him. He’ll give you a Map to the Treasure and a Bone Shovel.
Taking the Treasure
When you return to Skullduggery Island, walk six paces east (right) of the flag you see. Use your bone shovel to dig up the treasure, and Captain Crawfish will appear once again…
…but his ship falls apart because of your crew. When you leave, you’ll be awarded the Island Medallion plus credits to spend in the Poptropica Store. Congrats! You’re a true hero! You’ve rid Skullduggery Island of all forms of… er… skullduggery. 😀

Trivia
- Skullduggery Island is Poptropica’s 13th island. It was released on May 20, 2010 for members and June 17, 2010 for non-members.
- Despite the name Skullduggery Island, it is really made up of several islands – Fort Ridley, Dragon Cove, Bouffant Bay, Parrot Port, Golden Harbor, Pirate Outpost, and then the actual Skullduggery Island at the end.
- The word “skullduggery” (sometimes spelled skulduggery) means “trickery” and may have been chosen because of the iconic skull-and-crossbones of a pirate ship’s Jolly Roger flag.
- Common room: The Broken Barrel
- There are many white clouds over the Skullduggery seas, and some of them have interesting shapes, such as a heart, skull-and-crossbones, smiley, fish, whale, bone, etc.
- Former PHB author Coderkid discovered from Poptropica’s code that this island would haveoriginally been called Pirate Trade Island. A framework file in Poptropica that shows the islands’ code names does refer to Skullduggery as “Trade.”
- The ship’s names are, in order: raft, Jimmy Rigger, Carabelle, Sea Sultan, The Koi, Steaming Fury, Phoenix Warbird.
- Some people have reported being able to defeat Captain Crawfish without the Phoenix Warbird (although the Warbird is recommended). However, in the cutscene, your ship will display as the Warbird.
- Before the island was released, starting May 3, 2010, members received two exclusive items: The Skullduggery Teaser Trailer and a Skullduggery Pirate costume.
- An official book for Skullduggery Island was released on November 8, 2012. The first two chapters can be read for free on Funbrain. At the end of the preview, you’ll get a promo code for the Skull Pirate costume (the code is SkullBook).
Thanks to Zey-shomi (Blue Bee) for writing this island walkthrough! 😀
yeah I need it.
ha ha
OMG!!!!!!!! Has anyone noticed that there is a skull shaped cloud? It’s there, but rarely. And I mean SERIOUSLY skull-shaped; like face, eyes, crossed bones underneath. SO CREEPY!
yeah theres a cloud shaped like a heart too
and another that looks like a smiley face…

I’m making a new accoiunt
whoops i made a mistake i still have the same account.
Same 😉
yes,thank you.
i saw a one that looked liked a ship
awsome!
Question: Do you have to buy the Phoenix or can you get something cheaper and still win?
Hijuyo: You have to use the Phoenix Warbird ship to defeat Captain Crawfish.
yea! i finally got the phinix warbird because of your tip!
ha
yeah the guide helped alot and i was able to beat the island in 19 days!
The second time I beat it I did it in 3 days. No lie.
The second time I beat it was in 1 day. NOT LYING.
thanks
Heh, a lotta people tryna show themselves off. Except for you, Giant Sword. And Sleepy Feather.
I think he means 19 days in the game, not in real life. So yeah, the first time i beat it it was really fast, but I haven’t played in a while so I’m a bit slow on my second one.
I beat the game in 12 days (as in 12 days in the game, not real life).
19 DAYS!!!!!!!!!????????? THAT long????!!!!!
at least it isn’t 132514355612754782365782916378526478235645234237572385 623678567532684523674523745237days! :p
I beat it in three hours.not showing off?
me 2 days really no lie
1st time I beat it, IRL, about 15 days of actually being on the island. I beat Captain Crawfish after 92 days ingame, most days because of trading.
i beat it in 1 1/2 hours on my second try!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey, everyone who likes stories, I am making a news story. It’s called “Pop News at Five.” (even though it isn’t always at five.)
It is at the bottom of chat. Hope you read it! It should be coming out this weekend.
You don’t have to use a phoenix warbird to defeat captain crawfish.
what ship can you use?
Any ship you want.
uh,yes you do!!!!
I heard that you can use the Steaming Fury to defeat Captain Crawfish
I agree with Smartthecar because I used the Steaming-Fury and I beat Captain Crawfish but then my laptop screen glitched and his bar went completely full…. I had reloaded and luckily that worked. So it appears u rlly don’t have to use the Phoenix Warbird…..
What if i already killed captain crawfish
congrats
I’m so angry right now!!! I have the Steaming Fury and I KNOW i defeated Captain Crawfish but then his health bar just RANDOMLY goes back up!!!!! I had to try to beat him 18 times but still couldn’t beat him!!! ):I
Thank you so much! I was so confused until i saw this blog!
this is going take awhile.
I know right! like seriously how do you earn 1000000 fast?!
instead of buying grain in parrot port and then skipping golden harbor and going straight to pirate cove, buy spice at parrot port and sell it at golden harbor then buy grain from golden harbor and sell it at pirate cove
I meant silk from parrot port not spice so buy silk at parrot port and sell it at golden harbor then grain there and sell it at pirate cove
This way is better no offense!
Thats what I did and was able to get money MUCH quicker!
i finished it in 44 day[in poptropica]
I found it useful just to go back in forth to bouffant bay and dragon cove while collect salvage.
yea same here way easier to get the warbird
COOL thnx i didnt know how to get a lot of money so i only have 20000 right now…….
Me too, I just move around Golden Harbor (salvage is most abundant there) and collect salvage until im full. Full profit that way.
yeah golden harbor has lots of salvage. i had 300 and i went up to 1,000 sometin in one trip. 🙂
Its a pub not a cafe by the way. Just trying to help.
ok!!!
dude I did saw that skull cloud with eyes and bones and whatever but didnt creep me out.
nobody was afraid of it
all most done got second ship
sorry i mean the second ship i love the ship
Serious Bird says this is the best island eva
I can’t get the first dubloon every time I try to go left under the hill it brings me back to the balloon
what the heck I didn’t say that this is scaring me so bad is somebody else using my name?
Okay, this is going to sound really stupid, but… *deep breath*… so im really serious bird but since I tried to use wordpress it said I was zippysanta whoever that is but my point is *deep breath*, that weird guy who said some weird thing about how ‘he can’t get the first dubloon every time blah blah blah blah blah’, well hes not me he was just using my name because im just obviously so popular, but that second guy, zippysanta, hes really me if you get what im saying. but anyway… *deep breath* im the real Serious BIrd!!! *audience applaudes* never mind that must sound really confusing forget I said anything
Serious Bird – it’s completely possible for someone else to have the same Poptropica name, and that’s likely what happened. The other Serious Bird is probably just commenting with their own name, which happens to be the same as yours, but isn’t trying to impersonate you. So don’t worry 🙂
Chances are that nobody is going to even read that comment, but, if I need to describe that differently just let me now 😉
phew thanks slanted fish 🙂
(actually I don’t think anybody would try to impersonate me im not that good to impersonate) oh yeah and no offense other serious bird whoever the heck you are
whistle whistle!!
I defeated captain crawfish with the Carabelle!! THX sO MUCH!!
goodjob
what? how d´ you do that?
I took 7 hours and didnt know what to do tnx for the island guide 🙂
Really useful! Quick question – has anyone else been halfway through being chased by a sea monster in this and the sea monster swam over an island?
yes
I keep on defeating crawfish but half his health comes back instantly. i dont know what to do im using the steamingf fury. help?
Even though some players have reported being able to win without the best ship, you should probably upgrade to the Phoenix Warbird to stand a better chance against Captain Crawfish.
im using all the crew members and the best ship but i still cant kill captain crawfish
Me too It’s happening with the Koi also, I got his life all the way to zero then it shoots back up!
Please i need help because when i am trying to get the 2nd map piece my character keeps on saying that the part would probably like this cracker but there is no use in giving it away!!
PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME!!!
You have to find the Parrot like three times and then the third time he’ll tell you to go find his owner which is the pirate on the tall watchtower thing and he’ll tell you to get his parrot back. The Parrot will be flying around and you’ll have to use your cracker to coax him down.
I don’t see the raft. please help!
Go to the telescope tower, move the telescope all the way left, when you see a raft click on your broken mirror at the bottom left corner to shine a signal and when the raft shines a signal back get off the tower and go all the way left. There will be a raft!!! 😀 Hope this helped!!! 😀
It’s hard for me heh heh
I mean the skullduggery island not to get the raft
Somebody plz help me I cant find the guy who tells u where the ferns are! Ive looked EVERYWHERE! P.S. If u wanna friend me my username is SportyWhale99 and my Poptropican’s name is Sporty Whale
For people who want money fast, I would recommend these steps:
Start at Dragon Cove:
*Sell Max Spice
*Buy Max Silk
Bouffant Bay:
*Sell Max Silk
*Buy Max Medicine
Parrot Cove:
*Sell Max Medicine
*Buy Max Spice
Then go back to Dragon Cove again and repeat the process. Its a lot more less tedious and you don’t have to go to Pirate Outpost/Golden Harbor to trade. Just have to have patience 🙂
Thx for the help Gregory_
AWESOME! Thanks, Zey!
very cool i think you have it going
nice
Cool guide! I can’t wait to visit Skullduggery! 😀
Same here! 🙂 😀
It takes FOREVER, but it’s worth it.
I no it’s rlly hard 2 get so many dubloons! Why do ya hav 2 make it so hard. Bt it’s stll AWESOME. Probly da most awesomest island eva cos it’s quite long bt not boring long like Astroknights! So gd job ppl @ poptropica!
to save money… buy the grains in golden harbor… it’s much cheaper!
hey silver dolphin do you know how to get doubloons like SUPER quick? Thats the only problem im having……
ok this will help you but it is long but you will get unlimited money, go to parrot port sell all of your medicine and buy the max grain, then go to pirate outpost sell grain and buy max spice, then go to dragon cove sell spice and buy max silk, then go to bouffant bay sell silk and buy max medicine, repeat this process and you will have unlimited money and buy better ships and crew while you can to beat cap. crawfish
i wont ever be able to beat it 😦
don’t be negative…
i am sure you will someday…
@Dizzy Dee
YEAH! Someday! XP nice one!
Help!!!!!!
I can’t find the raft. I only find the pirate ship. And when I click on the mirror it says ”I dont want to signal a pirate!.” What shall I do?
Dear phakjira,
That means you haven’t done one of the things Zey-shomi has listed for you to do. Read what he has said again and see if you can find where you went wrong. The same thing happened to me on one of my accounts I don’t go on anymore. I made a new account (:
Hope I helped,
Poptropica Helper
I know u can!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You got this
This is probably an old discovery for everyone but me but I just realized that the sell and trade system works in a circular motion. Buy grain from the golden harbor and sell it at the next island to the left Pirate outpost and buy spice from there and sell it the next island etc…it’s a lot quicker to get money that way for people who haven’t realized it yet. Don’t stay with your current ship and people trying to save up. It only slows you down so upgrade immediately.
ha that is so funny (without the dragon) because i figured that out to
thank you!!! i had no idea how to go to skullduggery and win the island
awesome……
Yeah! Awesome guide! The thing is that I found this smal deserted island but its not on the map and you didn’t list in the guide. It’s just South-East of Skullduggery Island. Strange! 8( 8l
Sorry about that! The island WAS skullduggery island. 😦
that’s skull duggery!!!!
3 words…. HELPED SO MUCH
mak that 5 words…. HELPED VERY OH SO MUCH
I’ve been playing for 2 days now and it seriously does take forever to raise the money, plus I took out a loan at the bank and the interest is horrible! Don’t make that mistake!!
I’ve made a loan for 2 DOLLARS and I forgot to pay the interest until the last day and it cost around 1,200 dollars. That really cut down my doubloons. And when you really have a lot of doubloons do NOT leave without saving your game!!!! I had around 30,000 doublons and it DELETED ALL my doubloons!
:(:(:(:(
Pay attention with loans i made a 2,000 doubloon loan took to long to earn and pay it back and ended up giving 30,000
I went to Bouffant Bay then went out to fill my cargo up then came back to Bouffant Bay and sold all of it and went back and did it again and again….. without moving to another island because every day it makes your loan go up by about 5%. So any way if you only remain at one island your loan doesn’t go up because it stays on the same day! It helped me until I had enough to go to back to golden Harbor and pay off my loan.
i made a lone for 1 dollar and paid it back 5 seconds later
i just go around 2 all of the islands and trade (i buy at the island with the lowest price for lets say, grain, and at the next island, grain is the highest price, and i earn a HUGE PROFIT!) This is my second time completing the island, and in my 1st turn, i have over 1000! (it’s only my 1st turn….) but thanks for the warning about the bank! the 1st time i played i almost mad that mistake! o, and 1 more thing, keep buying and selling the boats, dont wait for enough money 2 buy the Pheonix… the ships go MUCH faster, and u have less of a chance of getting killed!
I just go around and collect salvage.
Thank you thank you THANK YOU!!!!! Now all I need are more doubloons…. I’m bad at earning them… xD
Yay! After restarting a few days (or maybe it was around a week…) ago, I’ve finally finished!
I beat skullduggery within the first two days it was out for members.It was awsome when you got to fight captian crawfish!!!!!!
YOU GUYS ROCK!!!
i finished you gus are the bomb I mean the cannon ball
ha ha
My eyes were hurting while doing this island. And typing this walkthrough ._.
Great walkthrough!!! 😀
ya awesome !!!!! 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀
Thanks for your help tho 🙂 I hate cheating but this one I got stuck on and had tooo…. 😀 Thanks again for the walkthrough, Still stuck on getting to the last island: Skullduggery. Whenever I try going to it this stupid pirate ship comes and starts shootin cannons at me! It’s rude 😛 I mean seriously you pirates! I JUST NEED MONEY! Which is why I see you wanna capture me…. But anyways THANK YOU for the walkthrough 🙂
Same ship exactly each time? if yes(i know this is 3 or 4 years late) then its captain crawfish you have to defeat him
U ROCK I am a BIG fan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
well it was worth it cuz we all love it thank you verry much
I’m nearly finished skullduggery. I know how to win.. 😀 Good job!
congrats 🙂
This is harder then Astro Knights!!!
I think this is going to take even longer than astroknights for me! I like the challenge though.:D
I really like AstroKnights, but this is good too… but when there is a pirate chasing after you…well….ya’know!
accually it seem harder than astro knights beacuse 1,000,000 dbs sound hard to get accualy it is i complelted skullduggery in less than 24 hours
im with you cool belly cuz skullduggery is SOOO HARD!!!!!!!!!! and i am stuck on the ice world on astro knights
sweet
I can’t WAIT till Skulduggery is released to the public! 😀
The island itself is fun but it takes forever to continue the storyline.
One really really quick way to get 1 million dollars, So go to one island , i would suggest Golden harbor,go to the trading person and buy the least expensive items with the maximum you could buy. Then go to the next island clockwise, ex: if you went to Golden harbor, you got to pirate port. then go to the trade person there, what ever you bought to max. at the last island sell to the max. at this one. you should get a bunch of money. While your still at the place you sold your stuff, buy the most least expensive to the max again, then keep going and going. It made me 1 million bucks in just one minutes!!!!!!!!!
it’s only easy if you have. like, the best ship. if you’re just starting out, it’s the best way, but it’s still not that quik…u cant win in one minute. impossible
Yeah I think your exaggerating about the one minute, it took me three days.
haaa,, well,,, obviously they r exagerating, but i finished it in like a day! just follow wat they said! it really works!
your exaggerating one minute is impossibe i did it in 6 hours but ived done this island many times so i know where the maps are and how to ovide cannons and monsters and how to defeaft them and i now where the most dbs are and much more
1 more thing:
MEDICINE- buy @ B. Bay/sell @ P. Port
GRAIN- buy @ G. Harbor/ sell @ P. Outpost/Place
SILK- buy @ D. Cove/ sell @ B. Bay
SPICE- buy @ Pirate Outpost/Place/ sell @ Dragon Cove
-DONT BUY ANYTHING AT PARROT PORT, JUST PICK STUFF UP IN THE WATER
-DONT SELL ANYTHING IN PARTICULAR AT GOLDON HARBOR, SELL WAT U PICKED UP WHILE COMING THERE!
hope that helps anyone who looks at this!!! 🙂
Well, you can buy spice at Parrot Port and sell it at Golden Harbor for a small profit…
You didn’t do it in a minute unless you had a lot of doubloons before you done it and how did you get past all the enemies if you had a bad ship if u tried it you would lose lots of cargo so i bet you had a good ship to do the thing you told us how to get the 1 million doubloons i know because i tried with the lowest ship with the ship you can get from the ship shape person in dragon cove and it was really hard for me to get to the other islands and it took me a long time and it took me like 19 minutes to get 9000 doubloons doing that so you must have a better ship than the 1 i had!
I agree. It’s nearly IMPOSSIBLE to do that. It took my DAD like, 1-3 hours to do it!
(i know this is 3 years late) but they might have wrote 1 instead of 10 or something? ’cause they did write one minuteS. with an s.
I gave up on this island because my computer is slow and this island is long!!!
I LOVE THIS GUIDE!!!
great job on the guide but there is just one thing on the island i dont really like. the part where you need the 1 million doubloon ship to sink captain crawfish’s ship.i managed to nearly sink it alot of times before i got the phoenix warbird ship but everytime captain crawfish’s ships health was supposed to sink it got half of its health back without sinking
i think because he keeps healing, or he has a shipwright too
yeah if you have the max he has the max just his is better and i died when cap crawfish had a little little little LITTLE tiny little health left
i dont have membership but really want to go to skullduggery island.
same here!!
thanks 4 the guide, zey-shomi!
This island is hard by defeating Captain Crawfish, But nice guide. It helped me for good. 😀
This Island Seems Wumboastic but To bad I am not a member 😦 Can’t wait till JUNE 17!
I’ve already won Skullduggery but I would have done it a lot faster with this guide.
Nice job!
well i didn’t red the guide yet(i want the island to be a surprise to me), but i am sure it good(the way the comments look)!
AWESOME GUIDE!
But I am not Member 😦
hey thx thats awesom im a member its been hard…still like it
I HATE THIS ISLAND!!!!! SO LONG!!!!!!!!! :angry: :angry: :angry:
did you mean to replace the :angry: :angry: :angry: with 😡 😡 😡
This guide is going to be really helpful when the island comes out for non-members!
Oh, and it’s a good thing there’s so many nice people out there. Thanks Zey-shomi (Blue Bee). 😛
I did this without buying anything, i used savages, i also bought the cargo master way before all other crew members. it took me 5 days.
it took me 2 weeks 😦
ive been working on this island for more than a YEAR!!!!!! 😦
Yeah, getting the salvages is actually better than buying the cheapest thing because when you buy the cheapest item, you’re still spending doubloons and there might be an even cheaper item and the prices always change.
it took me almost forever
Yeah, a nice guide!
Great guide!Skullduggery sounds difficult,(good for me, since I like difficult islands!)
-Wild Kid
It’s the hardest island I’ve ever played.
I agree
I would say one of the hardest.
I am playing skullduggery now!!!
Better than me…
I started playing last year and I just continued this day
I loss hope eh…
I got all of the map pieces using the raft ship, now I have “The Koi”
me too
Nice guide, but there is still something unclear to me. How are you supossed to start the cannon if you don’t have anything to start it with? Cuz i click the cannon and my character says that he doesnt have anything to start it with… So im confused 0_o
You’re supposed to get the cannon starter kit first at the top of pirate place, then jump left onto the platform with the flag. You’ll find it there.
-S.C.
Great guide!
it is best skullduggery guide ever… (one of the very few skullduggery guides………)
-_- I just got attacked by 2 ships, a giant crab monster, and a giant octopus all at the same time!
ALL of those?!! OMG!! I’ve only got attacked by two ships or two crabs. (Haven’t been ATTACKED by an octopus. YET! Seen one, though.) How hard is it to beat octopus’s? Are they harder than crabs? Cause I’ve NEVER beaten ONE crab!
Crabs are EASY to defeat! Octopus’s I HATE!!!
Both are easy to defeat. Just watch out for the snapping claws (crab) and waving tenticles (octopus) and you’ll be fine. i’ve defeat hundreds of them and earned heaps of cargo and doubloons that way. You can also earn heaps of cargo (mostly silk & medicine) and doubloons by defeating pirate ships. But never attempt to defeat those with a larger health bar and faster speed.
Once I got attacked by two crabs & two pirate ships. I’d almost finished them all off when Capt Crawfish came conviently along & started shooting at me, so I had to flee.
I hate when I get attacked by the dang ships… -_-
I know, I can lurk around the Northwest corner of the maps and kill as many monsters as I want once I have a good ship, but it’s almost impossible for me to kill pirates 😡 Te worst part, though, is when two enemies trap you and you get slowly squashed to death.
i got attacked by mr crabs and the kraken at the same time.guess who won?CAUSE CHEF SERVED CRABLEGS AND SQUID FOR DINNER.3 POINTS, right?
love this guide!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Might sound a little stupid, (I’m quite dimwitted) But where’s the mallet for the gong? D: I see the gong… but I’m not very sure if it’s the right one. It looks like a bell with green and bronze designs.
(i must be dimmwitted.)
I was wondering the same thing!But after about forty minutes, i figured out by jumping on the wobbly dragon statue. (the one in the water) Once i jumped on its head, the tail came up out of the water, and the mallet was on the tail.
I hope this helps you.
So THAT’S where it is! I was wondering where the mallet was…
SPOILER ALERT: Um, on the dragon right by where the port/ boarwalk ends is a dragons head sticking out. Hop on the head and the tail with a mallet will pop out! <3, Eliza
thats the gong! 😀
I defeated captain crawfish by anchoring my boat and then keep on clicking his ship
Also, buy the next ship at dragon cove once you have enough doubloons. The increase in cargo space helps you earn doubloons faster.
I thought the battle between me and Crawfish was kinda dumb; I was expecting a one-on-one battle like most of the other islands. Oh well. Great guide, it hepled me out alot.
For me it was like a 1v2 battle because there were so many other pirates!! But I ran into the smaller pirate and defeated him and continued with Crawfish until ANOTHER pirate came along and so on… 4x!
Do we have to destroy the sea monster?
You don’t HAVE to destroy the sea monsters, I do anyway since they don’t have cannons.:P
I just do cuz it gives u a ton of salvage! A trick for beating those is to try to get the monster in a whirlpool and shoot at it. when its low on health, get it to follow u out and shoot at it till it sinks. Then collect your salvage!! 😀
Another trick is, is your at golden harbour, try sitting on the opposite side of a rock. The monster will be stuck on the rock, trying to get you, then all you have to do is shoot at it with the cannons
I don’t think so…
I’m avoiding them…
I’m not killing/destroying them
Here’s some advice, just spin in a circle around the crab/squid/or ship and keep firing at them.
Can you hire more than 4 people for your crew?
I’m not sure. I think there is ONLY 4 people to hire. But, I may be wrong. And if I am, and there IS more you can hire, then I am SURE you can hire more then one person. Hope this helps!
Oops, I meant, I am sure you can hire more than FOUR PEOPLE. Sorry! I messed up!
No.
What happens if i dont pay my loan back in time?
I think you’ll end up owing even more . . .
you never ever can get another loan!
Thanx so much
Is this thingy hard to solve or is it easy I just wanna know?
Pretty easy compared to some of the other islands…
M.
NO WAY!!!
How do you buy ships?:(
Hijuyo: Talk to the ship trader at Dragon Cove.
Ugh!Beating Captain Crawfish is hard.He keeps healing!!!!
Captain Crawfish is easy to beat if you keep going round and round around the island he follows you so go around like 3 times then anchor yourself and turn around he’ll anchor himself and start shooting at you. shoot back! click rapidly and in about 5 seconds you won the fight!
Thanks! you helped me a lot!
Well guess what? I almost defeated Captain Crawfish without the phoenix warbird.
My cursor randomly moves when I click rapidly in a row 3 times!! RAGE
Where’s the mirror piece in by the telescope?
There’s nothing there!!
Hijuyo: It should be to the left of the telescope lens. You need to pick up the Broken Mirror from the General Store first.
Oh….Thanks a lot!!
Yeah thanks! You should probably put that in the guide … 🙂
what happens if you don’t pay back a loan? I mean I have defeated this island and I used a loan and I paid it back, but what happens if you don’t pay it back?
Hijuyo: If you don’t pay a loan back in time, the bank won’t allow you to take out any more loans.
EVER? no more loans ever? Fascinating. That’s kinda clever actually. But you don’t need a loan to defeat Crawfish.
It wouldnt kill me to take out a million and not pay it back- I only need the Phoenix Warbird and I’m awesome.
*CC = Captain Crawfish
I got a tip for beating Captain Crawfish!
1. Go to Skullduggery Island
2. When something pops up and says something like this, “Captain Crawfish up ahead! Everyone get to the deck!” then move ahead.
3. When you see CC’s ship, move in circles to avoid most of the cannonballs.
4. If CC’s ship is going nearer and nearer to your ship, RETREAT if you ship has low health. CC isn’t stupid.
5. If CC’s ship is behind you, click just a little in front of your ship. Your ship should excape the cannonball if it is fast enough. If CC’s ship still goes nearer, the cannonball will eventually hit it because the cannonball goes behind you.
-S.C.
I have one too! I know CC isn’t dumb, but if you lead him towards the rocks near golden harbor, you might be able to get him to bump into them! I did that fighting one ship once, and he lost a lot of health.
Same here, a random ship came out of nowhere when I started my jouney at the golded harbor and started attacking my small tiny raft. But in less then a second, they just got OWNED by that rock. lol
i think i beat a giant scorpion ship by bumping it into a rock once……
i am almost finished the new island skullduggery. it is very cool and great
I’m calling my ship with 1 cannon and 200 cargo space the Lady Carmabelle. Classy, non?
AMEN!
LOVED IT!!!
Battling with Crawfish was weird…we kind of bumped into each other then filled each other full of cannonballs 😛
M.
hahah, that’s what I did too. But sometimes that’s dangerous cause you sink before he does! 😀
Me too!
I only got 500,000 doubloons then I loaned the other 500.000 to get the phoenix warbird. BUt I still haven’t paid for my loan.
you should’ve done what i did… i just went around the island buying then selling then buying then selling and every time i got enough for the next ship i bought it. and every time i had enough for the crew members i hired them! so there you go.
THIS CONCLUDES MY SKULLDUGGERY ISLAND LESSON FOR TODAY!
PeAcE,
GrEeN nOoDlE
finding the mallet was really easy I just jumped on the dragon and then clicked
yeah i know skullduggery is a cool island
where can i find the bank?
Hijuyo: The bank is at Golden Harbor.
Ummmmmmmmmmm…….. What does the cargo, you know, the grain, the spice, do?
Hijuyo: You can trade with merchants on other islands and earn more doubloons by buying such cargo for low prices and selling them at another island for a higher price.
Thanks!! That really helped!! But I have ONE more qustion: Does it do anything else besides getting you money? Does it do anything to help you? Besides selling it. Thanks alot!
Hijuyo: No, the cargo is meant to be sold. 😛
Or stolen by pirates…. 😛
JUST BEAT THIS ISLAND !!!!!
Captain Crawfish is easy to beat if you keep going round and round around the island he follows you so go around like 3 times then anchor yourself and turn around he’ll anchor himself and start shooting at you. shoot back! click rapidly and in about 5 seconds you won the fight!
thank u, thank u, thanku, thank u, thank u, thank u, this really helped me!!
AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! I just got attacked by a puff fish! You know, the kind of fish swells up to defend it self? I had NO IDEA that they could attack!!
yup i was like its soo tiny!!!!
then it suddenly puffed up and i got owned!
lol
puff fish can attack also Octopuses and Lobsters. Also when you defeat them you get a lot of doubloons.
What does ‘Trade In’ mean? When you talk to the ship trader, when you click a ship, it says trade in in the box where it shows the ship. WHAT DOES TRADE IN MEAN!??!
Hijuyo: It probably just means trade; exchange; turn in.
Ok, maybe, but it subtracts the REAL amount by, say, 7,500? It subtracts the real price! Like, the Pheniox Warbird was 1,000,000. NOW, it’s only about 950,000! And it says Trade In, then a – thingy! It must mean subtract or something.
Trade in means to trade your ship with the new ship. However, since your ship might be damaged, your current ship only costs one forth of what its original price is. But your ship shoudn’t be enough for a new ship. So you’re acually buying and trading at the same time. Hope that helped!
Thanks Shifty Crush a.k.a. Roary! That helped! I was SO confused!
GAH! Either Poptropica was being evil or there was a glitch, but every time I tried to exit Bouffant Bay, a storm cloud that was hovering over the island kept zapping me into oblivion! My ship sunk about 4 times before I gave up and closed the window.
what i do in situations like those is i just dock again and again until its gone 😉
i hate those ships at sea -.- they keep attacking me! my doublonsss!~ T.T
I won all of the island, even Skulldruggery Island
Wow I now finished all the islands
yayyyyy!
There is a pufferfish by the way. hit it when it is big. There is a worker on the dragon cove. he repairs your ship at sea.
i like the octupus. it is easy to kill. I defeated it with the jimmy rigger and gained 7000!!! 🙂
Octopus’s are EASY!? What is WRONG with you!?! What do you think about crabs? THEY are easy. NOT the octopus’s! Wanna know why they are hard to beat? Their arms!!!
They both are easy.
pufferfish give about 10000. 😀
skullduggery island was so hard and it took like forever. 8(
Great guide! It’s helped me a lot with how far I’ve come (I’m not finished yet).
At the dragon cove. Go in the building and talk to the ship merchant.
It hard but there is a person for hire at dragon cove go past the ship builder guy ( left) and keep going tillyou see a person that’s the person (he fixes your ship while on the water it’s awesome) 🙂
another way to defeat captain crawfish is to lower ur anchor and fire rapidly and he will lose help, it works thats how i won
I finished the map, and just bought the pheonix warbird. Skullduggery will be mine!
When docked at Bouffant Bay, find the hay bale near the dock hanging on a rope and slate of wood. Jump onto the slate of wood and keep jumping up til you find the tallest platform,where the machine on which you found the hay bale is, and click the lever that operates the machine and then again jump on to the machine, which will slowly sink down to the ground. Once on the ground, a political-military type man will thank you for getting the hay down on that hot day. He will then tell you to talk to his wife, the debutante-aristocrat-Dolley Madison type woman who is on the balcony. She will give you a clue to finding the map piece in Bouffant Bay!!! *Footnote: even if you have found the map, you may still do this!*
Once i baught the jimmy rigger for 3,000 and i got all the map map pieces and then i went to skullduggery island there was nothing there.When i tried to get out of the island cc was there and guess what i was so scared i tried to get away from him and i did! I went back to the main island.
anyway the guide awsome as lol 🙂
The plural of octopus is octopi…weird but true
Anyway the walkthrough and tips really helped me.
wow this really helps but i stink @ it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
all did to defeat CC was just fire rapdily!
i didnt even lose 1 of my health!
I need some help. I finished the whole island up to the part where I finished beating up Captain Crawfish and now I have to go to Fort Ridley. But when I go; it doesn’t load and the vines go all over the screen. I tried to return to the island to make sure I defeated CC; but he wasn’t there. And every single time I can’t load Fort Ridley…
Help? D:
Hijuyo: Try using another computer that might load Fort Ridley faster, so you can continue with the quest. 🙂
I don’t think it has to do with the speed. I left it there. Until vines covered the whole thing; and nothing happened. And my computer is already really fast. I’ll try my dad’s laptop today.
good luck!
I was attacked by a puffer fish! Twas odd
This is an awesome guide! Thanks so much!
Should I get the crew first or the Phoenix Warbird?
Hijuyo: I suggest going for the warship first.
It was a lot easier for me to get the Phoenix Warbird when I had the cargo master and the navigator. But the navigator started to screw me up near the golden harbour though
i bought the crew first on one account and the ship first on one account…
TIMINGS:
1) Crew first- 8 hrs
2) Ship first- 13 hrs
How did it mess you up at Golden Harbor?
nice huh love it
Hey, I just discovered how to destroy enemies (except Captain Crawfish) without a cannon. It’s simple: force them to run into the rocks off Golden Harbor!
A TIP TO PEOPLE WHO ARE HAVING TROUBLE WITH EARNING MONEY! Keep upgrading your ship. Yes it costs a lot of money each time but you earn that money back quickly and then you are one step closer to beating Captain Crawfish.
Hope it helps,
Red Crush ❤
This is probably a stupid question, but whre is the govener? I talked to everyone and they just dont give me anythinggggg!!!!!!!!!HELPPPPP!!!!!!
Hijuyo: The governor is on the far side of Fort Ridley, inside a house up on top of some tall rocks.
Thanks!! 😀 I finished the island now 😀 😀 😀
Ya know, it’s not hard. Just very long.
Exactly
I need help bad!
I went to the secret island before reading the walkthrough! I don’t have a ship, and I just want to take a break from this island, BUT I CANT! I am stuck on the island, and whenever I try to leave I get killed by that ship! I am so annoyed because i cant do anything! I am seriously considering making a new acount if I can’t figure this out soon, I just want to do another mission, but again, I”M STUCK! Is there a way to ask the designer if he can teleport me back or something? Thanks, Please tell me what do…:(
Hijuyo: You can teleport yourself out using the “PopMatrix” developed by Coderkid. Click here to use it.
I beat the Crawfish guy, and I didn’t know wut to do after that xD But this guide helped me get another 100 credits,YAY TO ZEY!
Sorry guys if it’s not that descriptive, but this was at like late at night, and it’s a LOOOOOOOOOOOOONG quest. I can’t remember EVERYTHING of the island. :L
Oh yeah, btw, it says Bone Scythe, it’s Bone Shovel, sorreh. And it’s actually best to get crew members first, because they help really well to get dubloons and cargo and stuff. Another easy way to get dubloons is by killing those sea monsters. The octopus isn’t that hard, you guys just probably just don’t have a good aim.
THANKS FOT TAKING TIME TO TYPE THIS WHOLE THING OUT!! I WONDER IF IT TOOK LONGER TO TYPE IT THAN TO ACTUALLY DO THIS THING… 8o
🙂
I FINALLY COMPLETED THIS ISLAND THANKS TO U!! after like 5 days or so..yea or mayb 4..or 3 ..eya watever all that matters now is that IM DONE!! THIS WAS THE FIRST ISLAN1D I HAV DONE THAT TOOK MEE MORE THAN A DAY!!
a way to get doubloons really quickly is to
go to golden harbour, and get max grain, which is 15 doubloons per piece,
then go to pirate outpost and sell it for 40 doubloons a piece
to beat captain craw fish run into him and start firing cannons really quickly!
it took me about 30 seconds to beat crawfish with this technique
p.s. you’re blog is the best!!
hey guys just a tip:
1. whenever you have the money buy a new ship-shape upgrade
WHY:
1.you’ll get a discount on your next upgrade which means a discount on the Phoenix Warbird
2. each upgrade has more cargo space which means you get to trade more which means more money faster
and…. to get even more cargo on your ship hire the “cargo master” who is in the ware house (on second floor) on the island with the hanging ferns.
PS: He costs 15K doubloons
this helped!!!
thanks for this:)
Weird… I tried defeating captain crawfish with the steaming fury and he immediately got half his health back when he should have died. What the heck? I’ve defeated him before using the warbird, but why can’t I defeat him with other ships even though I have the skill?
Hijuyo: Other ships are weaker, so it is much easier to defeat Captain Crawfish with the Phoenix Warbird.
The designers made it so that CC gets health back.
I know programming.
They probably just typed in
…
if (CCsShip.Health < 0 && player.ship.level < 6) {CCsShip.Health = 50%}
….
The CCsShip.Health represents the health of CC’s ship.
The player.ship.level represents the player’s ship’s level.
The 50% meant the health CC’s ship gets.
I am not lying.
But am I talking too much?
Note: I am Shifty Cruch a.k.a. Roary
Bouffant Bay
To find the Map piece here, you talk to this one guy who says it’s on 312 Hanging Fern Way. You go right till you find hanging ferns. Remember… 3-1-2 which is in the order of which you hit.
1. 3rd fern
2. 1st fern
3. 2nd fern
—
Where do we go?
This part confuses me..
Hijuyo: At Bouffant Bay, walk right until you see some ferns hanging on a house somewhere. You then jump up to touch those ferns in the order 3-1-2.
I love Skullduggery Island so much. I even downloaded the Skullduggery Island wallpaper.
I got money faster by just looking around for salvages, not buying anything, and then selling it all. Then I bought the cheapest boat, which holds so much more stuff and is faster and nicer, and then got more money, bought the next boat up, and so on and so on until I had enough money to buy the warship! It is so much faster!
it also works if you go around in a counter clockwise direction buying the cheapest good, then going to the next island it will be the most expensive. it is much faster then that, i used to use your method untill i found out about this one. cha-ching!$$:)
HAHAHA i finished it!
thanks for the guide Zey-shomi.
thx a lot!
i couldn’t have finished it without this guide.
omg! great help!
thanx for the guide! would have been the only island i didnt finish
this is an awesome guide but to get the most help go through all the comments. they rlly help!! (its also a good idea to take notes like i did 🙂 )
I was in the SteamShip, and had 900,000 somethin’ doubloons, It froze!
Also, I would’ve had the warbird if my sis(Red Lizard _ThisWeird4) would have not bought the SteamShip
😦 my game wouldnt load so i had to reload it and b4 i had like 6000 doubloons now i have 300 😡 grr i m maddddd
i was sailing to golden harbor when i saw clouds shaped like a 🙂 !! and b4 i even saw 1 tht looked like a heart. all the clouds should be shaped ; it would be cute
It is so easy – because I used cheat engine. All I need to do now is to fight the pirates on skulldugery island!
Hijuyo: Whatever Cheat Engine is, it sounds wrong and you probably shouldn’t have used it to play. It doesn’t seem fair.
yea i agree wit u hijuyo it’s wrong and unfair
Totes unfair…… Although, what is it anyways, not that im gonna use it or something like that
Well, I didn’t want to spoil this, but probably the best way to make money is:
1. Sell everything you have at the begining (Follow step 2)
2. Now that you’re empty, start buying everything to fill the ship:
a. Parrot Port= Buy: Grain. Sell: Medicine
b. Pirate Outpost= Buy: Spice. Sell: Grain
c. Dragon Cove= Buy: Silk. Sell: Spice
d. Bouffant Bay= Buy: Medicine. Sell: Silk
3. When you go to Pirate Outpost to sell the Grain, drive CAREFULLY and near Fort Riddley, in case you have to dock, because that area is filled with pirates.
Ahoy n’ Avast
Icy Sun
Y’ know I don’t buy anything, I sell
Some advice – once you’ve bought the Pheonix Warbird, you shouldn’t worry about getting blacklisted from the Golden Harbor bank. You probably won’t need another loan anyway.
Tip 1: When in war with Captain Crawfish, keep circling around the island and Captain Crawfish will have to turn around and he won’t be ready so you can attack him with cannons.
Tip 2: I recommend getting the crew first because they will help you a lot and then after you have gotten the crew, get the ships.
Tip 3: Also, I agree with the walkthrough, buy the cheapest thing to the max on an island and go to the next island in clockwise and sell that cargo to max and buy the cheapest thing on that island and go to the next island etc.
Hope I helped!
well that gets me far! thanks! ps to the peeps who cant earn doubloons easily,(i can) just wander around the sea a lot while avoiding monsters and cap. crawfish and you will get lots of stuff and money . and all the stuff u dont need, go to the trading post and get doubloons 4 it!
Hey, I know a faster way to get the Phoenix Warbird. Ok here is how. You can buy the Carabelle Ship or the Sea Sultan ship to gain a lot of cargo from the ocean. When you have 300 out of 300 or 600 out of 600 cargo, you can sell the cargo from a different island. It gets you alot of doubloons. Thats a tip. I didn’t completed the island though. I was just giving you a tip. I got all four people from the islands though. Now I need to make 1 million doubloons to get the Warship. Good luck Everyone! Prickly Dolphin out!
Hey thanks, Prickly Dolphin. I tried that with that Jimmy Boat but it takes forever. I guess I could buy one of your choices.
I was stuck in this island 4 sometime because Zey. shomi didnt write anything about the cannon starter kit in Pirate Place. I had to go to wiki-answers for that bit. I suggest he edits it or something…
Hijuyo: Actually, he did put it in the guide. You could have saved yourself the extra searching if you’d actually read what was on Zey’s guide.
At the end, I had like, $998,588 on Skullduggery isand. I went to Golden Harbor and got a loan: $20,999 is how muc I loaned. Then I had $1,000,000 something. I bought the Phoenix Warbird and beat the island. Now, I still need to pay back the loan. Do I have to pay back the loan? This is bugging me sooo much.
Hijuyo: It’s probably a good idea to pay back the loan, now that you’ve finished the island anyway.
Hey I know another tip. To get so much doubloons for the warship, you can attack ships by getting them to follow you and make sure they get by rocks lots of time. Then, collect their cargo. You will get
60 out of 60, 90 out of 90, 300 out of 300, 600 out of 600, or 900 out of 900. I attacked a octupus once and I gained alot of cargo and sold it at an island. Remember, do not restart the island when you have completed it. Here is another tip. Get a loan from the Golden Harbor Bank and grab some more doubloons. I am so closer to getting 200 thousand doubloons. Yay me!
No, Keep it, I have 9,905,898 Ds, No more paying HEHE!
HEYYYYY GUYS!!! THE GOLDEN HARBOR BANK GAVE ME LIKE BIG LOAN UP TO 300 THOUSAND!!!! I LOVE THE BANK!!! HEY TRY THAT GUYS TYPE IN THE LOAN LIMIT AND IT WILL GIVE YOU THE LOAN!!!! I AM SO CLOSE!!!!YAY!!!!!!!
Hey thanks alot Prickly Dolphin. You are very helpful. Thanks for the tips. You are very smart. Hmm, sometime today you will complete the island. EVEN ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Everyone will love to test your tips. By the way, defeating Captain Crawfish could be hard because he could keep healing. KEEP TRYING GUYS YOU WILL GET IT!!!
All 9’s
Attention Everybody, it will not take forever once you keep working. Here are some more tips. Tip: get your crew first before getting the warship. Thats what I did. Tip: save so many doubloons. Tip: sell all your cargo when you have a lot for doublons. Tip: do not restart the island because then you will have to do all the work again. Tip: Visit the Golden Harbor for a loan limit. When you see the loan limit, type in the loan limit and the bank will give you. Remember, you get to keep it for 20 days. Pay back your loan if you need a new loan. Tip: remember, if you log out without saving, you will lose some doubloons. Remember to save the game when you are done. Tip: buy some cheaper ships to help you collect so much cargo. Those are some tips. Hope I helped. Good luck Everyone! Prickly Dolphin out!
Whoa, thats alot of tips for getting a lot of doubloons. Thanks Prickly Dolphin. I don’t believe it! A lot of us are going to get the island completed. Prickly Dolphin, thanks again. I will try it. Thanks again Pricly Dolphin. Good luck Everyone! Hazy Girl, Out!
Um Prickly Dolphin, thanks for the wonderful tips. Now I need to defeat Captain Crawfish. Thanks so much. Waterfall Blue out! PS My character’s name is Lucky Sky.
Um, I am so closer. I will let you know when I get 1 million doubloons, Hazy Girl and Waterfall Blue and Hi.juyo. Prickly Dolphin out!
Once I had my loan Past due, and they still let me take out loans. Hmm, must be a glitch or something
Sorry, didn’t get my million doubloons. So though. I hope I get it today.
Hey guys, here is another tip. Attacks ships that have low life or attack any crabs, octupuses, or pufferfish to get so much doubloons. Today I am going to be able to finish the island if I can defeat Captain Crawfish with the warboat. Be careful when you attack ships. They could make you lose your doubloons. I wish you good luck guys.
Cheat: When you star to lose the fight press the back button HEEHEEHEE
Whoa, thanks Prickly Dolphin. I will do that next time.
Thanks alot Prickly Dolphin! You are so very helpful.
GUYS GUYS HEY GUYS!!!! MY LOAN WAS PAST DUE SO I WENT TO RETURN IT AND GOT A NEW LOAN AND I CHOSE THE LOAN LIMIT AND GUESS WHAT???? I GOT A MILLION DOUBLOONS!!!!! WHOO HOO!!! FINALLY!!!!! NOW I GET TO BUY THE WARSHIP AND DEFEAT CAPTAIN CRAWFISH!!!!! WISH ME GOOD LUCK GUYS!!!!!
Thats a… wow, Thats a lot of !’s
Good luck Prickly Dolphin!
I wish you good luck Prickly Dolphin!
HEY GUYS HEY GUYS I DEFEATED CAPTAIN CRAWFISH QUICKLY I DEFEATED HIM SO FAST!!!!!
WHOA!!! Lowercase letters next time. How did you defeat him?
Hooray!!!! i completed the island!!!! Phew! That was a close one! Now how did Captain Crawfish knew my name Lazy Fish? Thats ok. He is now gone. Well that means I completed all the islands. Early Poptropica through Shrink Ray Island is what I completed!!! Hooray!!!!!
Now I got to return my loan of doubloons
Dont
I completed all the islands up to Shrink Ray Island Skullduggery Island was the last island I needed to complete
awesome! it really helped a lot! now all i have to do is earn dubloons 😦 not fun but thanx 4 the tips!
awesome! it really helped a lot! now all i have to do is earn dubloons 😦 not fun but thanx 4 the tips!
I finished this island in about 3 hours, not counting the breaks and meals I took…weird, I tought this island easy. Didn’t use the guide much, but it’s well written 🙂 Actually I enjoyed earning Doubloons…and I hated to be in debt, so I never loaned from the bank…
P.S. I bought ships first and a couple of crew after that, then concentrated on buying more ships.
I’ve been working on this island ever since it came out! Finally I’ve beaten it! WOOOOT!
i had the wierdest glitch! when i was docked in bouffant bay when i went to set out in my the phoenix warbird it went right through the island while it was surrounded by storm clouds!! wierd 🙂
i meant PEOPLE keep saying THINGS
🙂
I feel really dumb asking this but what happens if i dont pay my loan back in time? I really need to no.
You’re not allowed to borrow from the bank until it gets payed back.
Get a loan, dont pay
nothing grace
i think skull dudgery is fun
It’s not challenging to get the 1 million, but the boss is SUPER HARD. I could actually beat the boss if he couldn’t heal himself.
OMG! i absolutely CANNOT that’s right CANNOT get 1000000 dubloons. i got all the pieces and i went to visit skulldugerry island and when i left all the ships went after me and because i never upgraded (due to dubloon issues) i never got cannons and so i died heaps quick and again and again and each time i lose more and more dubloons, WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
😥
Tip: Save your game before you leave an island. That way, if you sink and lose cargo or doubloons, you can just close Poptropica, and go back onto it from the point you saved your game!
where is the bank and how you buy the ships and the canon?!
How can you say things when you’re on the sea because when i’m on the ship attacking ships say things but i can’t figure out how to say things back!
I don’t think u can. sorry!
okay so,i get a lot of doubloons and cargo but it won’t let me trade how do i get it to work?
don’t know don’t care
Q:how can you destroy boats with a raft?
A:First,drag them towards you when you see sea rocks.Last,When they hit it and can not move,your work is done!:D
I defeated Captain Crawfish,guess what?He could not hit me!!!!!hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Kenny how could he not hit you
The easiest way to win is to collect as much salvage as possible, (I find the most salvage around rocks, and in the top corner by D. Cove) and go around and sell the max. amount of stuff that is highest priced. I don’t worry about buying, and remember, Never get a loan!!!!
Thank you shoeless shadow that really helped me get the wore bird.
exacacly he had to hit there is no possible way he could not hit u
😀 🙂 [[1234567890]] :|] :
this is the best website ever 😀
this island was hard it took me 2 days usaly i bet 5 islands in 2 days thanks 4 writing this walkthrough for every island this the best website i ever descovered 😀 i love this website it is awesome
Immediatly, I had two goals: trade up for a new ship, and get the map pieces. After I unlocked Skulldugery, I tried to make a pass from Golden Harbor to Pirate Outpost. Well, I passed a tad to close to skulldugery (make that, SOUTH of Skulldugery, not even the route) and I ended up getting destroyed by Crawfish. The worst post, I was at ship #2 (you have the original ship, that at the Dragon Cove, the cheapest ship), the Jimmy Rigger. I tried to deal with him with my one cannon, but I got to close to him, and sunk.
If your going to use a wimpy ship get Crawfish to hit some rocks.
I’ve clocked in about 3 1/2 hours into Skullduggery and I’m at the Koi, the second largest ship (the Steamboat is small but powerful)
thx super skull,i couldnt find that guy on dragon cove island. it was frusterating.
i can fight cc now!i always get so excited when i do a boss level.even before i start it. 8)
oh my gosh thank you soooo much!!! (i still haven’t finished it) but I have three other accounts and I had NO idea how to clock this island!! THANK YOU!
I need a trading guide, it’ll be really useful, i have some of it…
Dragon cove:Sell spice, buy silk
Pirate place:Sell grain, buy spice
i need the rest! i’ll be really helpful to me
Hijuyo: I believe there’s one in the comments on this page.
nvm, got the rest
oh yeah this
is pretty hard
I wonder how long it took the fastest person to beat this island.
5 days, ME
I beat it in 1 day!
An easier way to beat Captain Crawfish is to anchor yourself. He will and run into you, draining both your and his health, but his more, and then you just fire as many cannonballs as possible onto his ship. He will be stationary the whole time and it’s really quick. (;
I tried what you did and at first it did not work but when i was dieing i noticed how much his power went down so im gona try your tactick again and win THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i won and it was quick
Thanks!
i was able to beat crawfish with the ship one less of the biggest
My classmate defeated the island with the second biggest ship also!
I have the guide book!To collect doubloons quicker with out stopping(unless your ship got damaged).Start at golden harbor and go from there to pirate place and counter clockwise.If you collected all the stuff in the water,then go to a island and do it again!
man i tried and i tried im not looking for 50 paragraphs [but thanks for the help] i just whish ther was a way to skip the battle………is ther?? some one please answer!!!!!
Lool
if you want to make big money buy silk at dragon cove and sell at bouffete bay.
then buy medicine at bouffete bay and sell it at dragon cove .
and repeat, and repeat, and repeat
Wait, you didn’t gave me credit for the tip to get money! That’s unfair!!
Actually, I did. You signed your comment as “Icy Sun” and you’re mentioned in the credits. I’ve changed it now to your other comment name (Vicyorus) in case that was what you wanted.
Hiaku
You are in danger
You need to defeat Crawfish
Can you still win now?
Thanx 4 the walkthrough it dont bother trying 🙂
I went 2 dragon cove and the women at the trading post’s clothes hadnt loaded so she was wearing a singlet and shorts.
i can get 1million doubloons
question:how do you sell a ship?
You can’t sell your ship; you can only buy a new one.
And you keep your ship forever right? 😉
Slanted Fish: Yes, unless you buy a new one, which would replace the previous ship.
hey umm i just beat C.C. and im at skullduggery island, but i dont have the shovel… where do you get it? Please help! 😦
You need to go back to Fort Ridley and talk to the Governor for the shovel. For more details, read the section of the guide titled “The End is Near.”
Thanks! 🙂
How many days can you have a loan for?
Well friend, I think it depends on which day but I don’t really know. :frown:
I can’t defeat Crawfish do I have to sink the ship or what?
Yes, you need to attack his ship enough so that the health bar is all red. To do this, you probably need the Phoenix Warbird.
I have never completed this island, or steamworks, so I decided to just get it over with already haha
Im on my real day 2 in the game Im on day 50 something, I have just over 300,000 dabloons!! :DD Almost half of a half way there you guys!!
My trick for doubloons is I roam above of Dragon Cove and a pufferfish,crab or octopus start attacking me and I go near a whirlpool and they go in there.While their stuck I shoot them and they die,Guess what?They give out lots of doubloons!The pufferfish has the most!:):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):)
Bye,N
I finished every island except Lunar Colony (which is out for members) and Skullduggery(almost done).
Here are some tips for my 1st trick:The octopus can get out of the whirlpool sometimes so watch out.Tip 2:If you go near Pirate Outpost be careful because there are alot of pirate ships.Tip 3:Don’t kill sea monsters until you have the Carabelle,Sea Sultan or Koi.Last Tip:Watch out for stormclouds if you dock at Bouffant Bay.
Bye,N<3
This was the hardest island for me . You guys are really, really good at explaining and writing walkthroughs
for me, this island was very easy
I know Strange beetle, 5 days is not long to gather 1M and another 100,000 for crew PEACE
IKR!1 day isn’t long either.
Well. That took me last night up to this morning ( I slept in between of course, xD). Thanks for the guide, I never would’ve done it without it.
I would’ve stayed up all night, unless..*Checks September Calender* Yeah, It would be labor date
I can’t find the person at Pirate Outpost. Where us he?
In the Pirate House thing way on top of that island. The guy is fast at shooting cannon balls.
I got stuck in a big huge rock and I can’t get out 😦 please help me!!!I got stuck all the way to the right on Fort Ridley please help!
If I click restart will I have to do re-do the whole island again?
Slanted Fish: Yes, the Restart button resets all your progress for that island only. It can be helpful if a glitch prevents you from anything.
I don’t know how to glitch like some how I got behind a rock and now it won’t let me out any suggestions?
Should I just restart the island?
If you feel like there’s no way out, then sure. However, if you’re just trapped in a location, try using the PopTransport tool from our Cool Stuff page to teleport yourself to another Poptropica island.
Thank you, but how do you get to it?
If your talking about Poptransport, Click her link and click on any island any button. Simple
AND DONT RESTART!!
Um,the islands only go till Mythology.
@Mall Manager Clown: Yes, but if you’re stuck on any of the islands, you can use the PopTransport to teleport out. Then you can ride the blimp to go back to where you were, this time unstuck.
Can you go to Skullduggery before defeating Captain Crawfish?
yeah, check out the island, O0Oo0o0o0oOo0HHH
Thanks for the guide! I now feel safer crossing the sea but I’m still afraid of meeting pirates.
Kill them with cannons, The spiky ship gave me 100,00 D
What happens to your old ship when you buy a new one?
NO IDEA
JUNK PILE
KABOOM
I’m scared to go to the Pirate Outpost again because thereare lots of pirate but I need to trade!
Look, you don’t have to go thru ALL the islands mentioned in the guide, but it’s the fastest way to get money (I know that because I was the one that discovered the chart of sale that’s posted here). If you want to go to Pirate Outpost just go, as near as possible to Fort Riddley, and don’t stay too much time in waters near to that island.
Which island can you buy the new ships?
Slanted Fish: Dragon Cove. 🙂
Thanks
i forgot to save my game that i lost over 1M dubloons…. 😦
Oh, thats…bad
Hey i completed every island on poptropica want to add me i am i5871 i am also a member!
no you haven’t, i became friends with you, 24 islands and not a member!
Thanks a ton This was one of the islands i couldn’t figure out!
hey slanted fish, whats your poptropica username? i want to be friends with you. mine is ejoyb99
Slanted Fish: My Poptropica username is hi.Juyo 🙂
thanks, do you know brave tomatoes?
My username was theresa1456 but now my username is SmartTheCar.
how many crew members are there? i know about the cannon firerer and the navigator and the repairguy but is there anyone else?
Slanted Fish: There are 4 – one available on each “island” except Golden Harbor. Fort Ridley gives you 2.
fort ridley? isn’t that the place where my blimp is? there is crew there? what do they do?
You don’t have to buy Fort Ridley’s crew. They come with you when you first get the raft. They don’t do much.
ohhh ok i get it now your talking about the cook and cabin boy. ok i was just asking about the ones you buy.
I GOT ALL THE CREW!!!!!!!!!!!! im sorry im excited! 🙂
aaaaahhhhhhh! ok i was joking around and made a loan foor 0000000m then i went to buy a ship and the ship guy said i have to pay off my loan!! what do i do???
neva mind,,,,…… i had to pay back 0 doubloons heeheehee
Pay loan, Buy Ship, Keep getting until you got like 500,000, get a loan of ALL nines, get the ship, never pay the loan
u guy can talk to me anytime u like and please tell me all of your names i wanna be all of your friend and tell me where your gonna hang out next
um, people come and go. sorry bud.

I’m obsessed with Minecraft! I watch tiny turtle and little lizard on YouTube! Yay another person who watches and plays Minecraft Yay!!!!!!! 😀 :O 🙂
I LOVE MINERAFT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But I’m 13 and my parents still(UGH!) don’t let my use YouTube or anything like that.
To beffy rider,
My username is serablackfin will you friend me? whats your username?
lebronc23 beefy rider
sorry i meant beffy rider
easy way to get money. go around the islands clockwise,like you said, and bye 10 of the cheapest thing and sell the max of the most expensive. it really works!!
oh, and don’t buy anything at parrot place
Yeah it does! i tried it! thanks!
Sigh……i don’t want to do this island………but i have to………sigh…..
I love this island it’s my favorite( After Game Show, my 3rd Shrink Ray)
this island is very frusterating!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! im getting impatient saving money for the warbird so im trying to defeat him with the steamship any advice on how to do that?
The only way to defeat Captain Crawfish is with the Warbird, sorry.
Actually, lots of people have defeated him with the steam ship, but it would be way easier to use the Phoenix Warbird.: Hint hint:
If you want Some more Money , Try Going to the “Dragon Cove” On the Sea not really on the Dragon Cove and Just Sail Around it Until you see The Puffer Fish
Its Big It can give you 10 000+ Doubloons And for the Kraken you get 5 000+ Doubloons and Giant Crab is Between 9 000 and 12 000 Doubloons
thanxs man
1 More thing, Your Health Bar can be a Monster/Ship Sensor too Like for Example : THERES A MONTERS NEARBY BUT YOU CANT SEE , YOUR HEALTHBAR POPS OUT WHEN THERES AN ENEMY INCOMING
My way is a bit unorthodox. I first do what most people do and trade then I buy the 30,000 ship because searching will be much easier then I scavenge for some some treasure (the risk is greater but it’s also advantageous because you won’t need to waste money unless your ship gets sunk) and then after having enough money I hire a navigator, shipwright and a shooter. It’s a long process but it will help you greatly. I then go near the Dragon Cove until the enemy finds me. After having experimented for countless of times, the sea monsters are the ones that usually go there (squid, lobster, puffer). They are much easier to defeat than the pirate ships and the treasure they leave when you defeat them is much greater than those lying around. Once you defeat them, your cargo will immediately be filled so just go and trade. Once that is done, go and defeat sea monsters again until you have enough money to buy a much better ship. I repeat, the risk is higher if you try this one but it gets the job done faster.
wertyuioe, hmm that sounds FAMILIAR. wink wink
Okay lets settle this: Slanted Fish, can you defeat Captain Crawfish with the SteamShip? Please awnser before too late.
I don’t think so, but some people have reported being able to defeat Captain Crawfish without the Phoenix Warbird (the best ship). However, the game itself tells you to use the Phoenix Warbird to defeat him.
OMG. It was after a had Membership for Game Show (Love the music for it’s trailer and the island btw) I started it and it was 3 days I got The Koi, ( I completed it in 5 days) And I had my crew, and I started to hit him with cannons,
he had this much life ___ and then wham, his life got all the way filled up again
I wonder why that thing comes up when you travel to a new island with ur ship that’s saying ‘DAY 1’ or someting like that….
Every time you travel to a new ‘island,’ another ‘day’ passes. It’s just to show you how many ‘days’ your ship journey has been. Maybe if you want to redo the island, you can try and beat your record. 😛
hey slanted fish and/or hijuyo whats your username? i want to be your friend
Slanted Fish: My username, which you can also find on our Friend Finder page, is hi.Juyo 🙂
OMG!!! MY COMPUTER JUST CRASHED AND I LOST, LIKE, 650,000 DOUBLOONS!!!!!!!!!GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! IM SO MAD!!!!!!!!!
Ooh… 😦 Sorry for ya.
OMGOSH! If that happened to me, I would totally FREAKING sue Poptropica, right before I smashed my computer to BITS!!!!!!
Thanks. Well, I already completed it, My sister just needed a page.
i just fought captin crawfish and a second before he sunk he grew back more than half his health while i sat there dying!!!! SO UNFAIR!!!!
dude, you dont know what i have been through WHEN I FIRST SAW THAT NEW ISLAND I WAS LIKE LETS GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THYEN WHEN I GOT OUT OF THE ISLAND (IN MY m1 SHIP) I DIED INSTANTALY
this the only island i have left im sooooo happy!!! I already have the steming fury!!! YAY for me!!!!!! 🙂 😉
I once finished this island in one day! 😀
That is like literally impossible! I MEAN IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No it isn’t,you only have to play WITHOUT breaks continuously,I did it for,what? 4 or 5 hours?
I beat for my sister in one day as well.
Sorry, I should have put, “I beat it for my sister”. The grammar cops should arrest me.
WOW!!!!!!! How is that even POSSIBLE?!?! I’ve been working on it for at least 4 weeks!!!
Who knows? I love this island! It is one of my most favourite ones! 😀 I’ve played this totally 3 times.
Did you know that I had almost defeated Captain Crawfish without the Phoenix Warbird, can you believe that?
THIS IS SO STUPID!!!!
(Don’t worry, not talking about the walkthrough, it’s really good)
I have the Phoenix Warbird, and I am trying to find Captain Crawfish. He used to show up all the time whenever I tried to dock at Skullduggery. Now, I can’t find him anywhere and I have to waste my time fighting little tiny ships that are run by pirates with stupid names, like “Jean-Luc the Vengeful.” AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!! HELP!! 😦
Try to do it at Pirate Outpost.
DITTO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i cant get the cannon to explode. its not lighting up. plz help!!!
the explosive disapeared!!!!!!!!!
😥
i just did probably the most stupid thing ever in the history of stupid things on poptropica. i have the steaming fury and i was looking at the ships and then clicked buy on one of my opld ships! then of course i got the steaming fury back but now i have hardly any money! im so stupid:(
do you have any advice for getting pufferfish and octopuses and crabs?
Try to hit them at rocks in Golden Harbour or on the other side of islands,then shoot as much cannonballs as you can.
thx for this im almost done
Why this island is so hard!!!!!!!!!!
Will you keep buying and selling again and again until you earn enough to pay your debt and buy the ship and to hire crew?
Slanted Fish: Yep. You can also kill things for doubloons.
I can’t kill anything!
How long will it take for me to get to the point when I can get the Phoenix Warbird and the whole crew? This is taking FOREVER!!! (I don’t have a great deal of patience-at least, not anymore.) It’s been sooooo long and I just want it to HURRY UP and GET GOING!!!!!
I agree!!
This is taking FOREVER!!!
I can’t get past the explosive barrel part. HELP!
Slanted Fish: You need to push it down until it’s under the golden tooth of the skull.
You should add to the tips:
~DO NOT land at Skullduggery Island before you should. I did that once and I had to take three tries to get away from C.C.
ME TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
UGH!captain crawfishis hard to beat! T~T
DITTO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good written walkthrough could you make a video walkthrough for skullduggery
Slanted Fish: There’s a link to the videos at the top of our Skullduggery Island page.
Wanna ask something, HOW LONG WOULD IT TAKE TO COMPLETE THIS ISLAND!!! i just know its going to take long but what would be the minimum number of days to complete it?
I really don’t whats wrong with my in almost every island!First, however i had 2000 doubloons and now its ZER0000! How can i complete this Island?
here i s how you deaft captin crawfish you will need the war ship, navigator, cannoier,, and the ship fixer. you must ram him them rapily fire at him at first it wil look like your loser but if you keep doing what i said you will defeat him
Cannoier????
I think wild gamer means cannoneer. People that post stuff really need to check their spelling.
Thanks for the tips!! 😉 BTW, it’s “Here is how you defeat Captain Crawfish: you will need the warship, navigator, cannoneer, and the ship fixer. You must ram him, then rapidly fire at him. At first, it will look like you’re losing, but if you keep doing what I said, you will defeat him”.
DAY 67……STILL FREAKING TRADING!!!! 😡
Lol im at day 101
not so bad. im at day 164 and i’ve only got 600000 doubloons
Hey did anyone notice that the ships match the islands. The islands are like actual ports from the time this island would take place and there is a ship that matches it. The raft goes with Fort Ridley, the Jimmy Rigger with Pirate Outpost, the Carabelle with Parrot Port, the Sea Sultan with Golden Harbor,the Koi with Dragon Cove, and the Steaming Fury with Bouffant Bay.
You forgot the Phoenix Warship.
wow you’re creative…
That really helped me uh lot!!!!!!!!!!
Actually at Pearl Harbor you actually can get something good from there besides get a loan. The Grain is the cheapest there
Ummmmmm… it’s actually Golden Harbor.
Yeah i’m not big on the name of the islands
I never get loans, its too confusing. I always search for salvage!
OMGOSH, I CAN’T GET OUT OF DRAGON COVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Whenever I try, a pirate AND a sea monster FREAKING surround me and KILL ME!!!!! What advice do you have?
I CAN”T GET OUT OF THE ISLAND WITH THE GOLD TOOTHED SKULL!! DX
day 50…
im almost done! but im on day 77……………………………
The best way to kill sea monsters are by bashing them into the rocks near Golden Harbor.
Just a J.S.Y.K., you don’t always get cargo and money like that…
What does J.S.Y.K mean?
Day 80… I still can’t beat Capt. Crawfish!!!!!
Dis guide helps but the creators made it take SO LONG to finish the game! UGGH!!!
What happens if you don’t pay back the loan?
Finished in 55 days!
Before I did it in 57 days.
I meant 51.
do you need to get the whole crew?
OKAY EVERYONE… ON MINE, IDK IF THIS IS FOR YALL TOO BUT ON MINE, IN GOLDEN HARBOR, I BUY GRAIN AND IM GETTING MONEY SO MUCH FASTER
Thanks for the tips!! 😉
Shoud I do loans or not?
day 101,in need of serious help
I found that there’s heaps of salvage around Golden Harbour, so I just sail around there until my cargo is full, then I sell everything off at the trading post. Don’t go too far from the Harbour though, in case you get attacked or something.
So I was trading at the Island with lots of cannons (Can’t remember it’s name) And I went back to my ship, clicked embark, then it went to the part where your in birds eye view and I couldn’t see my ship! Nor could I move or re-dock! so I went and logged out and logged back on and showed up at the Parrot island with a lot less DB then I had when I left, and a different cargo, though I had the ship I had bought not to long before I was having trouble. (The forth ship on the was to the Phinox) I went back out to sea again and I still can’t see my ship or move. What should I do?
by the way , i had started the island earlier before I knew about the guides but I didn’t remember but I went back on and this guide is awesome !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Awesome, awesome, awesome!!!
hey, im tall eagle’s sis!
COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!! BEST. NICKNAME. COINCIDENCE. EVAAAAAAAAAA!!
at the top right of your map there are a hoard of monsters who contain about 7-8000 each
how do you get under the bridge!?!?!? i’m stuck =(
what the what? i got the whole map and i still don’t even have enough to buy the jimmy rigger!! it’s gonna take me forever to get a phoenix warbird!!! 😦
;-; Yeh… You’re not alone…
Actually, sell your silk at Golden Harbor! You can get 32 doubloons per unit!
THNX!! 😉
Actually golden harbor is good enough to trade with as it sells grain cheaper than the grain at parrot port. Plus there are many salvages there.
THNX!! 😉
i need help
with what?
I need help with finding out where the mirror is.
Slanted Fish: It’s on a shelf inside the General Store. Click on it and the shopkeeper will let you keep it for free.
Hey, i have a question, but i dont wanna try it unless i know, if i did take out 1,000,000 doubloons from the bank, and bought the ship, and didnt pay the loan back, could i still buy the ship and defeat crawfish and what-not? (i hate saying what-not, but whatever :P)
Slanted Fish: I think you might need to pay your loans back before you can buy, but I’m not sure.
no you don’t
and would it be good to keep getting new ships? or should i just save for the pheonix warbird…?
Slanted Fish: I’d suggest upgrading to the next ship whenever you can, because it makes it easier to earn doubloons.
ok thanks! i might make a temporary account just to test the loan thing XD but thanks for the tip!
omg!!! i just steered my ship toward skullduggery to destroy captain crawfish, and he wasnt even there!! so i got to dock at skullduggery without even killing him!! What the what just happened???
look around for him
My last island so far..
Tip: While battling Crawfish, anchor, wait for him to smash into you, fire all your cannonballs, and get away QUICKLY.
THNX!! 😉
You actually DON’T need the Warbird to defeat Crawfish. You can also defeat him with the next ship down, which if I remember properly is called the Steaming Fury.
Hey!! thats insulting! I was short on doubloons and I defeated him with the Carabelle!
Hey my name on Poptropica is Golden Dragon. My username is Cinderhella. You can add me if you want. I finally completed Mocktropica today and I realized I had one island left to do. Skullduggery Island. I was dreading it because I’ve never actually fully completed it before and I know it takes such a long time to do. But with the help of this guide, I FINALLY finished all 36 islands made so far. Thinking back to how I only made a new account two weeks ago, I realized, I have no life. But that’s okay.
However, contradictory to this guide, I only sold Medicine at the Parrot Port. I did not buy anything, so my cargo was empty until I reached Golden Harbor, which is where I bought the max amount of Grain. This creates more efficient money-making. Also, since there is a lot of cargo spilled on the way to Golden Harbor, I would collect it all as much as possible, then sell it all at the Golden Harbor. This method is a bit more efficient with money in the long run.
So anyway, I finished Skullduggery Island all in one day. On the Island itself, I used 65 days to finally defeat Captain Crawfish and dig up the treasure. What about you?
I’ll probably take about the same amount of time as you, but I don’t know for sure. I’m on day 62, and all I have to do to beat the Island is muster up enough courage to fight. (And dig for the treasure, obviously. But that doesn’t take courage.)
Thanks for the tips!! 😉 BTW, my Poptropica is Happy Bird, my username is hoppypop13.
tip:if your being chased by a pirate ship go towards an island in a zigzag motion.that way the cannons wont hit you
THNX!! 😉
this website is me bff
I’m at day 238 and only have 5801 doubloons!!! Im so freaking annoyed:( is there a secret or cheat to help me get money…FAST??? Please tell me ASAP!!!!!!!
Golden harber does have use for trading I sell my medicine at Parret Port and buy grain at Golden Harber for the lowest price it changes each time but every time its lower priced than Parret Port.
THNX 😉
good island guide 🙂
um i noticed that the prices change randomly, is that normal?
The prices for the different islands’ trading posts do change randomly, but what’s cheapest and most expensive stays the same. Buy/sell in a clockwise direction (as explained in the guide) for max profit. 🙂
actually not true parrot port’s cheapest thing is grain and sometimes it changes from lowest to second lowest.
Michael-
Yeah, it’s constantly switching spots with spices, which can be annoying since I have (er, had) a three-island trade route because it made me the most money. Here are the islands: Dragon Cove, Bouffant Bay, and Parrot Port. I sold spices and bought silk at Dragon Cove, I sold silk and bought medicine at Bouffant Bay, and I sold medicine and bought spices at Parrot Port. What was annoying was that spices were always around 20 doubloons a piece. I don’t have to worry about it anymore because I’m at the boss fight, but it got a little annoying.
Hey Poptropicans! I know I just commented this, but if you sell medicine at Parrot Port and buy grain at Golden Harbor (instead of selling medicine and buying grain at Parrot Port, as suggested by the guide) you will make a bigger and better profit! 🙂
Thanks, you guys!! 😉
I saw a cloud in the shape of a 🙂 and also thanks for the guide…i am still trying to get sea sultan then koi then fury etc. :):):):)
A few random tips and pieces of advice:
– The cargo with the lowest price will have the highest price at the next island clockwise.
– I recommend not loaning from the bank. You end up losing money with interest, you could forget about it and end up with too much to pay back, and it just ends up being a big ‘ole mess. Trading, as said in this (amazing) guide, is the best way to make money.
– Speed is good, but accuracy is better. Don’t shy away from a fight if they have more cannons, because the other pirates in the sea have terrible accuracy. Run in a zigzag motion while shooting slowly and carefully and you can take down a ship much more powerful than you.
– The enemies aren’t very smart, either. Try to get them to blunder into storms or rocks for easy victories.
– Sea monsters have a small range. Even with only one cannon, you can easily take them down if you keep moving and stay away from their arms/claws.
Good Luck!
omg u r a genius, thanks Magic Peanut, and hey, whats ur poptropica username…i wanna add u. mine is “hellomiss9”
THNX!! 😉
This helps so much! And this site is so much easier to use than some of the others I’ve used, I’m wondering if you check everything a few times. But one correction I do have, I was able to get grain at Golden harbor for 13 doubloons, so the costs might be a little randomized. Thanks for the help!
I cant get the doubloon..
People say that this is the second hardest island on Poptropica (other than Astro Knights), but looking at the walkthrough here, its not very hard in general, the hard part is getting the doubloons. Some people I know are able to finish it in a day or less, others take a few days, while others take weeks. Just remember, dont give up, and dont try to defeat Captain Crawfish while you have the Sea Sultan. 🙂 (My randomness of the day)
Is it ok just to get at least a million doubloons then get the warbird? I mean, getting doubloons isn’t that hard, not like you HAVE to fight the ships until you meet captain crawfish.
Slanted Fish: Yes, but it’s easier to get doubloons with better ships, so I recommend upgrading as you go.
I got all the crew members by Day 7 on a RAFT!(you read that right).
I might even tell you how I did it, if you replied. 😛
PLEZ TELL MEH
u know..its more profitable if u buy grain from Golden Harbor and sell at Pirate Outpost than buy grain from Parrot Port
where is the bomb that u put under the tooth????? the guide says in the middle of the place….. what does that mean?????
Slanted Fish: It’s somewhere in the middle of the island; jump around until you find it.
If you fall left off the place where you get the cannon kit, you will end up nearly right on top of it. It’s a big barrel labeled ‘explosives’.
golden harbour can make a profit randomly
Actually i know a tip to get 1million doubloons to buy the Phoenix Ship.If you have 100,000 doubloons go to the Pirate Fort.Then go to the Trading Post and Buy the few priced item there and that is the Spice right? buy it 1,000 items.Then go to the Dragon Cove Port in the top of Pirate Fort then go to the Trading Post,Click Sell in the Spice then put 1,000 You get loads of money.After selling the Spice buy the another few priced item there,Should be Silk? or The Medicine? Cant remember then go to the Bouffant Port located ————–> of the Dragon Cove Port.Too lazy to type but just follow the same steps to get to 1 million.I literally tried it and it worked.It may be seem boring but also,if you want to defeat:The Octopus,The Puffer Fish, And the Giant Crab,lure them in a very rocky place and then trap them there like : (octopus)[rock](you) if he’s near on freeing in this trap lure him again and trap them once more,if you have cannon,use your anchor to stop the moving of the ship and shoot the Octopus,Puffer,and the Giant Crab.They give you 1,000+ Doubloons,300+ or 200+ of Spices,Medicines,Silk and Grains. 😀 they will be useful to up your items to sell them and get to 1 million doubloons.Hope This Helps.Tell me if you have any parts you dont understand,i’ll fix them for you.Thanks 😀
The FIRST time I completed this island it took me only 4 hours. My cousin, who completed a bunch of islands, didn’t complete this island! [Makes me feel good.]
I passed Skullduggery in 1 day, no lie! Thanks Zey-Shomi! Could you reply to my comment please? I’ve completed all of the islands!
the koi can atcaully hold 2,700 cargo not 1,800!
price also lower as you go up with your doubloons
skullduggery to hard I only got the second ship and I unlocked skull island with the blog
I think that the best way to earn doubloons faster is to go halfway through the money and get the other half as a loan from Golden Harbor. I tried that and got through the island in 2 days.
poptropicans I’m leaving to another see you guys in three days!
It’s not called Pirate’s Place its called Pirate’s Outpost. Just to let you know
please keep making more guides I use them all the time
Slanted Fish: We have guides for every island on our Island Help page. 🙂
thanks this was great but can you show which islands are which because I went to parrot port first thinking it was the other one
I buyed phoenix ship by the first raft we get it for free . I died only FIVE times in game .
Never a’ chance ol’ Crawfish shall pass me! I’m a too good
Yeah I know did you see the way captain crawfish’s ship falls so hilarious !
ARGGHH I’m stuck bc the other pirates keeps sink me down! Suggestions please!!
Starting to get mad like alot bc of those urgh scurvy, lame pirate-talking, and CANNONBALLS 😡
YIKES!! Raging gamer alert…
hey! everyone here is saying how quickly they beat the island, so i think im doing something wrong ahah. i started this island maybe 2 years ago? i did a lot at a time and then i guss i forgot about it. so now im back at it, ive been sort o avoiding skulldugger since t always seemed so daunting. so i have the pheonix ship, and ive leit been trying to defeat crawford all afternoon (its about 10 pm right now oops 🙂 ) AND I STILL CAT DEFEAT HIM WHAT AM I DOING WRONG OMG is there a strategy to beat him?
i rammed him and fired
i went to youtube and captain thinknoodles tells us to ram him, and do repeated cannon shots to his ship, i did it, it worked. I suggest u try that, and also, u may not get it in the first try,but eventually, u’ll get it. btw, don’t thank me, thank thinknoodles
I wish I could do it, but I’m too chicken past a certain point, usually after I get chased by a pirate.
Scratch that. I’ve been chased by three or four pirates AND an octopus and I’m still going strong. Woo-hoo!
Good for you!! 🙂
i faced him with the raft and crossed safely
I am also Serious Bird why would I lie about that? Anyways can someone help me? what should I do about not being able to get the dubloon, just give up on the island? I think it’s some kind of glitch
Slanted Fish: You might want to restart the island (click on the map in the corner and press restart).
It’s still not working
I did t again and now it works, thank you!
(Thanks for all your help!!!) I don’t know why but it won’t let me get the cannoneer lady. I have enough doubloons, but it ain’t workin’! Maybe I have the wrong person? #TroubleWithSkullDuggery
How do you fire cannons??
While you’re sailing, just click in the direction you want to fire your ship’s cannons.
Also, you have to have bought a ship in order to fire them. Wish you could fire them on the raft though….
Looks like I have to treat this as another game and SLOWLY make my progress….
*cough* Just like Prison… *cough* Or OP Prison… *cough* on Minecraft… *cough achoo* No offense to those who like it, though…
Lots taken…
POPTROPICA AWESOME
