# Battles

Ready to progress to the next [**island**](/game/progression/islands.md)? Not so fast.\
\
**You must win a battle to proceed.**\
\
Enter the battle with your heroic trio: a [**First Mate**](/nft/first-mate.md), a [**Quartermaster**](/nft/quartermaster.md), and your trusty [**Crew**](/nft/crew.md)**.**

#### On Victory

Your [**$**](/token/usdbooty.md)[**BOOTY**](/token/usdbooty.md) is the price of triumph. \
\
With success, all three of your characters earn the right to ascend to greater challenges on the next [**island**](/game/progression/islands.md), but be prepared to part with the items used—they will be **consumed** in the heat of battle.

#### On Defeat

Not all is lost. Re-engage and go again. 

#### Final Stand

There is a total of **3 islands in Chapter 1**. Once you’ve accomplished island number 3, you have successfully completed the chapter. **Valuable treasures await the ambitious pirate.**
