Treasure of the Seven Seas Bug Fix – Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown

Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is Ubisoft’s newest take on their iconic franchise, and it has had an amazing launch, with critics and players praising the game alike. But no launch is flawless, and a recent bug has started plaguing players of the game.

The Treasure of the Seven Seas side quest is seemingly bugged as the parrot that you track down keeps flying back and forth, sometimes disappearing too, preventing players from interacting with it and completing the quest.

1. How to fix the Seven Seas bugged side quest in The Lost Crown?

To fix the Treasure of the Seven Seas bugged side quest:

1. Backup the save file to Ubi Cloud before talking to the pirate.
2. Enter the deck, but don’t collect the collectible item.
3. Talk to the pirate and refuse the quest.
4. Leave the deck and renter it.
5. Talk to the pirate and accept the quest.
6. Don’t leave the deck until the quest heading appears.
7. When the door opens, go find the parrot, and the quest should work as intended.

According to players on Reddit, this solution is working, especially for a lot of PS5 players. But some players on other platforms, including PS5, seemingly have no luck with this solution. If you’re one of them, then head down below for the other fixes.

2. Reload a Save

Corrupted saves are sometimes the main reason for bugs affecting the game. To check if that’s the case, simply reload a previous save file for Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown and proceed through the quest as intended.

Make sure to make a manual save before starting the quest. If the quest’s still not working as intended and the parrot is bugging, then proceed to the next potential workaround.

3. Relaunch the Game

Relaunching a game is a very surface-level solution to many problems that may occur within a game. To check if that’s the case here, quit the game, wait for some time, and then relaunch it to see if it’s fixed.

After restarting the game, begin the quest, and it should work. Some players have stated that restarting the entire game from the beginning is a possible fix for this issue, but it’s not convenient at all. If the quest’s still bugging after relaunching the game, proceed to the next fix.

4. Restart your Console

Restarting the console, whichever platform it may be, can be a possible fix for various bugs and glitches in games. To see if that’s the case with The Lost Crown, turn off the console, restart it, and then relaunch the game.

Since this is a very basic fix, it has a high chance of not working. The first fix mentioned above has worked for a lot of players, so give it a shot once, and if it doesn’t work, then I suggest waiting for an official patch to roll out that fixes this bug once and for all.
