Everything we know about Sea of Thieves Season 18: Return to the Devil's Roar
Eternal Guard

Eternal Guard are a formidable foe that possess the strength and skill of ancient warriors. They can be found at Devil's Roar and beyond, which can be a serious threat when exploring.

They can cloak and flank you and your swashbuckling buccaneer, which means you will have to keep a watch on them, lest you want to be speared from the back. However, should you succeed in defeating, you will be rewarded with a Sanctuary of the Banished Key.
Sanctuary of the Banished

Using the aforementioned Key, you will be able to access the newly excavated Sanctuary of the Banished found across the Devil's Roar. Within them, you will find ancient loot that hums with dark powers. However, don't fret, as Traders aren't really picky about what you bring them. They'll happily accept them
Trident of the Banished

Similar in terms of functionality to the Trident of Dark Tides, Trident of the Banished deals more damage due to being imbued with acinet powers. The only way to get these is from the Sanctuary of the Banished, which means you will need to defeat at least one Eternal Guard.
Laughing Fox Lucia and (Redacted)

Two new members of the Smuggler's League have set up shop in the Devil's Roar. One of them is known as Laughing Fox Lucia, while the other's name is yet to be revealed. You can interact with them to engage in some sneaky shenanigans.
New Acts

With the arrival of Sea of Thieves Season 18, there will be three new Acts for you to complete as well. They will ensure that you get to experience the new content to the fullest. Here's the list:
- The Banished Ancients (19)
- Molten Sands Fortress (6)
- The Ashen Garrisons (5)
Sea of Thieves Season 18 Plunder Pass
