The Fifteen Men on a Dead Man's Chest quest in Windrose is proving an excellent, if tricky mission for players to complete, as while it serves as great early source of loot, it's hard to work out where the treasure's location is and where to dig. After all, the game certainly requires a lot of grinding which includes taking on as many side missions as possible, so side quests like this one are borderline essential to progression... And what pirate doesn't like looking for treasure chests? With that in mind, I'll explain how to complete the The Fifteen Men on a Dead Man's Chest mission, where you have to locate a treasure chest in order to get your hands on some special loot.

When finding the chest, you will be met with a prompt to open it. When selecting this prompt the dead corpses on the ground will reanimate. Ensure you have a weapon in order to fight off these undead sailors. After doing so, you’ll finally be able to open the treasure chest, claim the loot and then complete the mission, granting you some precious early experience points.
