How to Solo the NEW Fort of the Damned in Sea of Thieves 

Phuzzy, love your content, without your guides I wouldn't be half the pirate I am today. Been teaching new players on game mechanics on SoT official to carry your help around. Touching on this vid, if i may. Solo sloopers are at high risk of being attacked on these forts, sinking is almost guaranteed unless its melon heads that are attacking, but that's a rareity. So its essential for them to clear the fort as fast as possible. Following this logic, i HIGHLY suggest stacking the forts kegs on the top of the ramp(outside, the long wodden path going up, at the top of it) as there is enough kegs to blow up Graymarrow in 1 shot. Its a good spot to stack the kegs as it is easy to Line-Of-Sight the boss right on top of the kegs, also, its basically right in the middle of the island. Lob 1 granade of your choosing and the forts one and done. Feel free to test it out. Would love to know if you find it helpfull :)

I can't confirm yet but i think when you're solo there can only be 1 color active so that's another way to find out

@@Sentiie There is only 1 color now regardless of crew size

@@arkangellll damn fotd is now so easy that the only threat is a crew better than yours

I'm not sure if this is the case I think the skeletons gain more HP, I don't think more spawn, I could be wrong on this though just be on the look out for either happening

@@arkangellll What?? The reason I didn't do fotd solo before was because 3 lights was annoying. 2 was fun and when I had a crewmate we'd shout color combos like red white and blue for murica

i agree 100%

Thank you 😊

There is a few spots you can glitch the kegs into a rock or similar where they cannot be picked up again but it is still fine to lead the boss over, therefore removing said risk, this might be patched but im confident itll be possible to do somewhere as ive encountered the not able to pick stuff up bug in this update as well

Hello mate ☺️ good to meet you, you're most welcome

❤

Yeah, chat even said ,"it should be harder" 🤣 but either will it's a good chance to level up many factions during this time

he gets oneshot if you stack all the normal kegs from the vault and waves (excluding megakegs)

Thank you 😊

RIP thats what i mean yes 😂 I am cursed on stream to always say ashen lord for some reason

I mean, same difference really

What if we got an ashen version of Graymarrow?

@@dragotech1234 that would be spicy 🔥

@@dragotech1234 I don't know how to feel about that but sounds nice

Thank you 😊

Theres literally no risk with kegs at FotD if you have half a braincell

done 9 already so far

Pretty easy just finish it in 1 weekend. stacked about 15 fotds on the first weekend since update

Good luck 😊

Thank you 😊 I buried the loot because i wanted to stack and complete more forts before I sell

I don't usually use them, but if I would choose one it would be the cutthroat flare, it's the least blinding as far as I know

@@PhuzzyBond when you say you don't usually use them, do you mean you can somehow turn off the flare?? Or you just use the default?

@@benjaminfiedler-dc9cv I prefer the default

No

i would also take like 1 hour doing a fotd and thats why i never did them but i decided to use your strat and it was so easy

Yup they do not get a map if they sink you, this way they won't know you have anything buried there 😊

The Skull of Fortune can be used as a single use ritual skull while also giving you access to all the flame colours

@Aidan Yeah but like... can you take it off, and put it in that place on the floor, or will you need a Ritual Skull in order to do that tactic.

@@Eidlones Once you use it on the skeleton it's gone

@@Forswunk Ah OK, thanks!

Can you bury map bundles 👀

@@anarubrown4206 Sadly no because that would create a bundleception

live gold?? What are you talking about? You dont have to spend anything in SoT. Everything is purely cosmetic.

​@@Soulseller33he is talking about xbox, you need to pay a service to play games online on Xbox

if you have gamepass you should be able to play plus xbox live gold isnt expensive

Lunar Festival, it's from the pirate Emporium

I 2nd this

He's a goofy pve'r itll never happen

No it's safe , buried treasure doesn't get affected by the status of the map bundle

@@PhuzzyBond affected? Anyway, thanks Phuzzy!

@@nracryz8231 yes just fixed it, sorry autocorrect 👍 it's safe to get rid of bundle

Paradise Garden from emporium

I thought this was the case too?

Planning to do that soon 🙂

Yeah that's why you remove it and throw it somewhere else

@@PhuzzyBond Ah okay, you mean like throw it off the boat?

​@@PhuzzyBondhi Phuzzy doesnt that put a tdespawn timer on it though ? And once the map de-spawns therefore the loot does too? I've always wondered and figured if anyone would know you would 😅

And more being completed means more to steal. A rising tide raises all boats, until you then sink them.

probably u have a problem bcs i have never heard from anyone else that problem u have

Idk did you applied those items?

Have you equipped them? You can see your own pirate by emoting. Clothing can be accessed in the clothing chest in your ship or clothing store, Hooks, pegs, eye patches, tattoos, scars, and curses can be accessed in the vanity chest in your ship and the clothing store, Tools can be accessed in the equipment box in your ship and the equipment shop, Weapons can be accessed in the weapons cabinet in your ship and the weaponsmith shop. Ship decor can be accessed at the chest at the shipwright. Each box/chest/cabinet should have pictures that show you what they contain along with their specific designs to differentiate between each other. If you have done this, then you could try to close out of the game and run it again, it may be that the game just hasn't loaded the models yet.

Same Im I'm console and when I load into my first lobby I gotta stay so my stuff loads. Once I switch lobby's I can't see my compass or what I'm hovering over in my inventory

Pirate game

@@eddiemalling3589 "Pirate Game" = "When I can't find any flies to pull the wings of off, or children to bully, I play this game and grief other players while calling them racial slurs and telling them to kill themselves."

@ogfail1867 Damn, are you projecting your anger issues on people who happen to be roleplaying as pirates in Sea of Thieves? It's always the same spiel, I think the Iron Law of Woke Projection applies here.

@@KopperNeoman Really?? You tried to shoehorn "Woke" into a video game?? Cmon, I know a lot of people are scared to death of that word, but damn don't try so hard. Maybe you're lucky and don't encounter asshats in this game, but I have been playing off and on for a couple of years and can count on one hand the number of times I've been attacked and didn't get spawn camped and taunted with racial slurs. Sadly, reporting them doesn't seem to cut down on it.

No I'm just a humbug said Ashen instead of Greymarrow

@@PhuzzyBond oooooh ok

Do you really have to ask this question? xD If you want my treasure but I don't want you to have my treasure, then I will bury it so you can't sell my treasure. Do you understand it now?

@Dr. Julian Bashir yeah but now I cannot sell it if it buried... also no need to be condescending

You can sell a treasure after it's buried, just remember where it was and dig it up to retrieve 😊

@@PhuzzyBond Thanks for the reply, love the content! So, in this situation did you bury it cause you just had a feeling someone was coming? That's mostly the part im confused on

I wanted to stack forts, as the server has a limit of reaper chests. Burying them makes the server think they aren't there , but I think it's changed , as when I did this layer and we reached 10 reaper chests. The vault spawn two Ancient Bone dust crates Instead of reapers

I believe the pistol is 55, not 50.

@@KopperNeoman It's only ever been an even 50 damage, as far as I'm aware. Though admittedly those two numbers don't make a lot of difference whether it's one or the other, making it somewhat more difficult to observe.

I'm just a drum
