Abandoned by all the gods and suffering from the Titan Wars, the world is confronted by a new threat, rising from the soil. The player is placed in the role of a new "Nameless Hero," replacing the protagonist from the two previous games. The new player character was never seen nor mentioned prior to the third game, but is revealed to be the brother of recurring NPC Patty Steelbeard, and son of the deceased pirate Captain Gregorius Emanuel Steelbeard, as well as one of the few pirate captains left in the world.

The Son of Steelbeard is awoken from a fitful dream in which he fights the ghost of the pirate Captain Crow, who was killed in Risen 2: Dark Waters. He and Patty go ashore on the Crab Coast to seek a rumored treasure in an ancient native temple, but are distracted by a Skull Cave rising from the ruins and a number of shadowy creatures emerging from it. When they enter to investigate, they find a magic portal made of crystal, which spawns a demonic Shadow Lord, surprising them and knocking them to the ground. The Shadow Lord proceeds to consume the Hero's soul, apparently killing him, and leaving Patty and his crew to bury him.

Some time later, the witch doctor Bones comes ashore on the island and performs a ritual on the Hero's corpse, awakening him from death. Bones reveals that the Hero isn't quite alive, his soul trapped in the Underworld, and that his voodoo magic was only able to reanimate his corpse. The longer he is away from his soul, the more he will lose his mind and will eventually become a mindless minion of the Shadows. Bones tells the Hero that he himself had once lost his soul (part of a quest in Risen 2) and had it restored. Since the soul of the Son of Steelbeard is being held captive by the Shadows, recovering it will be significantly more complicated. He suggests that the pirate seek guidance from the most powerful sorcerers in the Southern Seas: the voodoo witch Chani (a companion in Risen 2); the high magician Zacharias on Taranis; and the druid Eldric (a recurring NPC from the first game), who is now on Calador where he leads an ancient order of Demon Hunters to fight the Shadows.

In the course of the game, Steelbeard's Son strikes back at the Shadows in his own way, such as helping others recover ground lost in the large-scale invasion. On the pirate settlement of Antigua, Admiral Alvarez beseeches him to travel to the most powerful communities in the Southern Seas to seek their support as allies against the Shadows. Among other threats, massive sea creatures and a fleet of demon ships led by the ghost Captain Crow wreak havoc on anyone traveling the high seas.
