Player workbench

Get Exotic Sea Shells from a Havana passage only when extra wildlife materials serve the next route.

The effect is tied to skinning, not direct ship damage; a player solving a naval fight can waste time on the wrong rare trinket or open another Havana Secret.

Why this entry is useful

A hunt-first decision: confirm the material shortfall, locate the two-building passage, verify the named trinket, then decide whether to equip it before hunting.

The 214, 568 lead points to the small Havana passage. Confirm the named trinket and its present skinning effect in inventory; a later patch or a different chest reward changes the hunt decision.

Safe first move

Name the wildlife material still needed, then find the small passage between two Havana buildings around 214, 568 and check its Secret marker.

Finish line

Exotic Sea Shells appear in the current trinket inventory with a skinning-related effect; the next hunt has a specific material goal and an intentional trinket choice.

How to use it

Find the small passage before the hunt

The Exotic Sea Shells pickup is a Havana two-building Secret. The fort sword and governor outfit are separate named objectives; none is evidence that the trinket is owned.

Recovery path

The chest yielded something else

If the result differs, check 214, 568 against the present city map and search the small gap at ground level before sweeping rooftops or the fort. If Exotic Sea Shells is already owned but a hunt yield seems unchanged, read the equipped-trinket state and the live effect before repeating the same animal route.

Material need → Havana passage → hunt setup

  2. Use the 214, 568 lead to identify the small two-building gap, then open its Secret chest and read the item name.
  3. Check the present trinket effect and slots; if it serves the hunt, equip it before a short skinning test rather than assuming the benefit from rarity alone.

Route Plan

How to use Exotic Sea Shells – Havana Passage

Use 214, 568 to find the small gap between two Havana buildings and open the Secret chest for Exotic Sea Shells. Confirm the named trinket and its present skinning effect before detouring into a hunting loop; the nearby fort weapon and governor-area cloak are separate stops.

  1. Decide whether the next session includes animal-skinning for materials; this trinket does not itself improve Jackdaw cannon or hull performance.
  2. In Havana, use 214, 568 to locate the small space between two buildings and distinguish its Secret marker from the fort and governor pickups.
  3. Check the Exotic Sea Shells name and current trinket effect in inventory, then compare the next hunt's actual material need before equipping it.
