Marcus puzzle

My friend has recently made a new character and is now lv11, but for some strange reason she can't access Marcus hidden in the Hidden Shrine in the Temple of Gloom on Skull Island. My character is lv27 and has long since had access to him. However, neither one of us can figure out how to gain access to him. I remember that he had a quest, but what she's told me is that this quest is no longer available or appears to no longer be available. Is this true, and if so how does one gain access to Marcus or has he been totally removed from the game for all new players? We both have tried googling answers but there's too many conflicting answers. Some say that the quest is there others say it's be deleted. I honestly don't know because I can get into Marcus but my friend can not. Hep is appreciated.

Hi! This is as designed. Those who completed the quest to enter Marcus's room before the update on 29 August 2013 will still have access to Marcus's room; however those who are new to the game no longer have to defeat Marcus to continue their Skull Island Adventures.

Ah this explains why I can't get the Skull Mountaineer Badge on any of my pirates since I've only visited 6 out of 7 areas. Is it still possible to for newer pirates made after this update to go into the room to complete the badge?

Hi! we will be removing the requirement to explore Marcus' Room for this badge in an upcoming update to the game. Sorry for the inconvenience.
