Skull & Bones: Under A Storm Walkthrough
In Skull and Bones, the "Under A Storm" contract is a rewarding but lengthy mission that will test your combat and strategy skills. Here's a detailed guide on how to navigate through it step-by-step and ensure you're well-equipped for each stage of the mission.
Location of Contract
You can accept the Under A Storm contract at the Lost City of Prei, located at Telok Penjarah near the Eastern Gate Sea, northeast of the Eastern Basin.
Docking: Once you arrive, head straight down the dock until you reach a set of stairs.
Reach Rahma's Residence: Ascend the stairs and move forward to the next staircase, where two guards stand on either side. This leads to Rahma's Residence, where you'll meet Admiral Rahma and begin the contract.
Speak with Admiral Rahma
Rahma will explain that the DMC (Dutch Maritime Company) is transporting armaments that could shift the tide of battle.
Your task is to steal the termites and enhance her arsenal to confront the DMC.
Once you accept the contract, Rahma will give you additional backstory about the DMC and their actions, including their killing of Chinese merchants.
Under A Storm - Mission Start
After receiving the contract, the map will update, and you'll need to head south, above the Batavia Reefs, and just south of The Forgotten Candi. The mission marker will be placed in that area.
Preparation: Dock at The Forgotten Candi and ensure your ship is properly equipped and repaired before setting sail.
Set Sail: Once ready, head south towards the mission marker.
Sink DMC Scavenger
As you move closer to the mission area:
Locate the DMC Scavenger: Use your telescope to find the DMC Scavenger. The ship should be visible on the horizon.
Combat Approach: Engage the enemy ship using AoE (Area of Effect) attacks to initiate battle. Keep your distance at first, then close the gap for direct engagement.
Tactics: You can either board the ship or destroy it entirely. Choose according to your playstyle.
Loot the Mortar Bomb crate from the DMC Scavenger after sinking or boarding it.
Clear the Area: Don't forget to destroy the two smaller ships around the DMC Scavenger. They should be easy to dispatch after taking down the main target.
Delivery Crate (Termites)
Next Objective: The next mission area will be the Kelelawar Chamber Outpost, which is north of your current location.
Repair and Fast Travel: You can dock at Dutchman's Camp to repair your ship and fast travel to the Kelelawar Chamber if needed.
Finding the Crate: Once you arrive at the Kelelawar Chamber, head straight ahead and to the right to find the Delivery Crate containing the Termites.
The crate may also contain 500 Rockets, so ensure your inventory has enough space to collect everything.
Equip the Termites: After collecting the termites, equip them by managing your ship's weapons. Find the Termites under the Auxiliary category.
Plunder Kampong Subur
Set Sail to Kampong Subur: Sail north to the Kampong Subur area.
Optional Objective: You'll have the option to destroy towers with the Termites. Use them strategically to deal with enemy structures.
Plundering: As you approach the dock:
Plunder the area, sending your crew ashore to clear the enemies.
You'll find stone tower structures that need to be destroyed with the Termites. Several towers will be present, and you must use the termites to take them down.
Avoid Red Circles: Keep an eye on the AoE (red circle) indicated on the ground, which signifies the enemy's attacks. Move quickly to avoid heavy damage.
Loot: As you finish plundering, you'll find loot floating in the water. Make sure your inventory isn't full so you can collect it.
Fight off Enemies: After plundering and looting, enemy ships will swarm the waters. Use the Termites to take them down. Once all enemies are defeated, this section of the mission will be complete.
Report Back to Admiral Rahma
Once you've completed the plundering:
Return to Rahma: Sail back to Admiral Rahma at the Lost City of Prei.
De-brief: Rahma will praise your efforts and explain the significance of the termites you've retrieved.
Optional Dialogue: You can choose to express your desire to experiment more with the termites or vow to eradicate the DMC scum.

1,750 Infamy
The Termites I
Rempah Deckhand Set
