Sea Monster Lairs are the domains of the most dangerous and mysterious foes a crew can face in Puzzle Pirates. Every venture to one will risk the ship used by either getting it sunk, or even foes overwhelming the crew and stealing the ship. However successful pirates can return from their adventuring with unique items in addtion to the vast accumulated booty to be found there.
Sea Monster maps are the only way that a crew can gain access to a Sea Monster Lair. These maps can be won in pillaging battles or, more rarely, in combat with skellies or zombies. While a course is charted to a Sea Monster Lair, the vessel can have its voyage configured for "Sea Monster Hunting". This causes any jobs posted to the notice board to reflect the intent of the voyage.
All crew on a Sea Monster voyage must carry a Bravery badge as proof of their bravery or be a subscriber if sailing on a subscription ocean. So far two types of Sea Monster Lairs were discovered, Atlantean Outposts and Cursed Isles.
