Take the two treasures back to Madame Olive at the first checkpoint and hand them to her. She will use these to craft an Enchanted Compass for you in this Sea of Thieves Tall Tale.

Use the compass and go where it takes you. The first location will reveal the skeletal remains that will give you Rose's Pendant. Putting this on your ship will reset the compass, and you will be taken to a new spot.

Here, you will come across a skeleton named Rooke. You must defeat this enemy to acquire George's Pendant from it. After beating the foe, take the item back to your ship and sail back to Madame Olive in the Sanctuary Outpost.

Once you meet her again, hand over the pendants. This will mark the end of the Wild Rose Tall Tale in Sea of Thieves.
