Destiny 2: Sails of the Shipstealer Week 4 Legacy Guide
Destiny 2 Sails of the Shipstealer Week 4 guide: walk through steps 27-33, Pirate Hideouts, Expeditions, and relics in Season of Plunder.
In 2026, Destiny 2's seasonal history remains a rich archive for veterans and newcomers alike. Among the most talked-about chapters is Season of Plunder, and its weekly questline Sails of the Shipstealer. Week 4, covering steps 27 through 33, shifts focus away from Mithrax's hidden conflict with Eido and toward a new, unseen faction hunting relics of darkness. This guide preserves the original quest flow for players revisiting legacy content.
Step 27: Visit the Star Chart in the H.E.L.M. 🧭
Return to the H.E.L.M. and interact with the seasonal Star Chart. Instead of Mithrax, Eido delivers the message. She says she spoke with her father about his recent behavior. He told her he wanted to shield her from Eramis' violence. Yet he still keeps his past secret. Eido vows to keep fighting Eramis and to help the Guardian.
Step 28: Loot Expedition Buried Treasure 💰
Full text: Loot Expedition buried treasure on any destination and defeat combatants on Europa. Combatants defeated during Expedition grant additional progress. Players should open the H.E.L.M. map and select the Expedition Playlist on the left side. This week's Expedition returns to the Cosmodrome, so Europa kills must be earned by visiting Europa directly. Before launching, equip a treasure map. Go to Quests, then Captain's Atlas, then Details. Equip a Basic Treasure Map. With it equipped, the buried treasure can be dug up at the end of the Expedition.
Step 29: Complete Pirate Hideout: Alaaks, the Beast Tamer 🐺
The hideout lies deep in the Themis Cluster. Launch Pirate Hideouts from the Destinations tab in the H.E.L.M. The mission unfolds like previous weeks, but something is wrong. Eliksni corpses litter the area, evidence of a recent battle. After broken platforms and ductwork, players meet Alaaks, the Beast Tamer, still alive. The fight has waves. Defeat three prized beasts. Alaaks is shielded until they die. Then his shields drop and Eliksni pirates stream into the room. After enough damage, shields return and three more beasts appear. Repeat until Alaaks falls. Retrieve the relic from his treasure horde. Spider and Drifter discuss the mysterious attacker. No evidence explains who attacked or why, but both are concerned.
Step 30: Visit the Ether Tank Holoprojector 📡
Full text: A message awaits on the holoprojector at The Ether Tank in the Eliksni Quarter. Navigate to H.E.L.M., select Last City: Eliksni Quarter. The holoprojector is straight ahead, left of the yellow vending machine. Mithrax appears. He is deeply concerned that another force raided Alaaks' hideout. He worries another party wants the relics. He clearly knows what they are or what they can do, but he does not divulge the information. He asks for more time and patience, promising to share the truth soon.
Step 31: Visit Spider in the Ether Tank 🕷️
Spider wants a visit inside The Ether Tank. Head around the corner and speak with him. This short step rolls directly into step 32.
Step 32: Play Spider's Game 🎲
Spider offers three choices of Spider's Special Engram. Previous rewards have been meager, but this time players receive a Deepsight Resonance seasonal weapon. Spider is surprised at the good luck and dismisses the Guardian. Eido then sends a transmission. She explains she deployed a signal suppressor when the Guardian entered The Ether Tank. In previous weeks, she noticed a strange signal and vowed to investigate. She does not fully voice her concerns, but she is clearly suspicious of Spider's game of chance.
Step 33: Await Mithrax and Eido ⏳
Mithrax and Eido study the relic from Alaaks' Pirate Hideout. They will contact the Guardian when they have more information. This marks the end of Sails of the Shipstealer week 4. Players should drop off the relic on the table in the H.E.L.M. to progress the Antiquarian IV week 4 seasonal challenge.
Bonus Lore 📖
Return to the holoprojector outside The Ether Tank. Interact with the blue screen on the right. Players overhear Saint-14 and Mithrax discussing recent seasonal activities. Mithrax expresses sadness at reliving memories of his dark past. Saint-14 understands that pain and hopes to support him. Mithrax also asks after Osiris, who has not awoken from his Savathun-invoked slumber. The conversation reminds players of their friendship from Season of the Splicer.
