Sea of Thieves: A Poor Sailor's Guide to Solo [Sloop Survival] 

I found your Account due to Pixel, and I have bingwatched your guide playthrough, it’s simply marvelous, once I buy this game I will have a headstart against the other new peeps, Cheers lad, and may your channel grow big!

I have a theory. You are the son of Captain Jack Sparrow.

Does something cause those kegs to spawn?

Indeed, that was the best part . A GG in the end is like a proper dessert after a big meal.🤣

I'm often that person, but then I just get shot in the face :'(

With a crew like that all you can do is accept defeat

ExileTwilight same

This is true sport. Wonder if anyone organized actual duels with swords or pistols too.

CAPTAIN!!! Y-yeah?? LOOOKKKK!!

@@EdwardJamesKenway... OH FUCK

@@laziwastaken NO NO NO NO NOOOO due we have so much shit. Dude HOLY FUCKIN SHIT!!!

Wasn't his first time...or last

An attitude that just omits power

and that makes him dope af

"Yeah, just sunk a 4 player ship, wasn't that hard to be honest."

Even a genie can't grant a wish of that rarity.

Sea of THIEVES

we were having fun in the game with a 3-man Brigantine and fiund the reaper flag which we just set up before they just said for me to stay aboard the ship to look "just in case" not 2 minutes later a player ship came to us, shot two cannonballs that killed me and nobody guarded the ship for 2 minutes due to me lagging in the ferry of the damned, then when i was respawning, I heard my friends saying "you can just take the items what do you mean the reaper flag was bad idea" then the enemy squad just yelled into their mic something like "don't fucking fly a reaper flag if you don't know how to pvp" and the others in his squad laughed. We did say that we don't know the game mechanics because we just wanted to have fun in our freetimes, and the enemy squad just laughed again and said "Learn the mechanics to have fun dumbass" and the ship sunk then and they only stole a single skull and left the 4 other things worth 5k on the ship. We were confused because the players seemed very toxic but also left us loot.

as an above average solo slooper, its nice seeing people like that

I wonder how many takes this video took...

@@The_Chew takes? You think this is scripted?

@@CraftageNate He means that there were probably multiple ships that sunk him while he was making the video

@@lred1383 Maybe, but knowing Puzzy, that is very unlikely as someone who solo-sloops Skeley-Fleets on his own with success, as someone who watched his stream frequently. he RARELY sinks dues to players unless they get the jump on him or are really good OR stream-sniping. And this is on his own! With Jackie there its even rarer. And maybe you are right, but based on all the proof I have seen from UNCUT streams, its very VERY rare. (The caps are just to emphasize my point, not being rude).

Better yet, Athena’s mega keg

@@willp4623 imagine athena kegging a solo player and still getting sunk....

Deep FryMe I was in a small alliance 1 one other sloop and I was in the party with him. Me and my friend were pretty far from him, and he was getting fought by a reapers ship. He got mega kegged, died, and respawned and somehow saved his ship. He told me that the guy didn’t light the fuze quick enough, and missed the board. He ended up getting about 10 holes, but all were in the back of the ship. If the guy lit the fuze a second sooner, the ship would’ve sunk.

Talking about your ships and what not I’m here with my rowboat

Oh.... Brilliant comment. Well Played!

Mr Towerson reminds me when Phuzzy always says that you should be aware of your surroundings . This is a good example for that .

Well, towards the end of the clip, the tower became a potential hazard.

Mr Towerson doesn’t pick sides his hands are rated e for everyone

Of course. The ideal Solo Sloop strategy: DON’T solo sloop If you find yourself on a solo sloop, find the nearest Skelton and abduct them to make them your friend

And I’m a solo slooper so I thought I was definitely dead

Hello mate 😊 good to see you here. I always give away the loot that I steal , GG my friend good to meet you in the seas.

That's really cool !

It has to be fairly shallow for that to work. Alongside an island tends to be the way.

Didn't expect to see you here lol

Those sound like the perfect rules for a reaper.

I have similar rules, I play Open Crew brig until I can convince some friends to join me, yes, I attack new players, but I don't target them, I'll just fire indiscriminately. And if I lose, I accept that, but I have no objections if my crew wants 'revenge' seen as it's a chance for more combat and that means I'll learn better.

Tbh the only time I would ever disrespect an opponent that won fair and square is if I'm on a solo sloop just trying to do voyages and a whole galleon goes tryhard on me, which is just kinda toxic tbh.

@@Beanpolr calling people toxic for sinking your ship in a ship sinking game?

@@reecadilla Yes, especially considering it hinders your progression through the game because there's no solo mode, and often nothing you can do about it. Obviously I've sunk many ships, but I'm more referring to when you're just trying to actually get shit done and some fucking faze wannabes pull up on you with 6 ships worth of cannonballs. There's a difference between a pirate and an asshole.

Something a bot would say !

@@Beanpolr you're the kind of person I would go out of my way to sink. Just to pass you off

BRO that took me a few rewatches to get lmao

That’d be cool, only they would be confused at everything, and how the world changed, and learning the game, and gem maybe even being aggressive, if it did work

They'd laugh their asses off at what our media believes pirates to be

@@recenityz True

besides ships sea of thieves has nothing to do with actual pirates.

Lol, real pirates didn't have tactical radios, 40ft lunges, teleporting mermaids, the ability to cure wounds and regenerate by eating fish, or shoot themselves out of canons. I'm pretty sure they would be confused/terrified af. 🤣

GermanSnake Right you did all that on your first time playing makes sense

GermanSnake for some reason I don’t believe you sunk 3 galleons solo on your first time ever playing...

First time playing alone or first time playing?

Indi Maybe i shouldn’t have written "three" galleons, cuz i sunk one of two galleons twice. Basically they were doing a mission so i gunpowdered them, which somehow worked but I do remember the other fight! After i sunk them, they fled into the fog. When i left the fog, i saw two galleons standing next to esch other with alliance flags in the distance. I trailed left, to a Kraken Watch Tower, and grabbed a keg. I then swam with the keg from the fort to the two galleons, didnt care about my ship at that point. I know they didnt have loot, but i wanted was practice. So i gunpowdered one of the ships, and boarded. Apparently they thought they were in the clear because they were all on one of the ships, not spread out. Then i just guarded the ladders and killed two of them while doing so. The last two didnt come up, but the ship sunk. I jumped off the back of the ship and quickly swan to one of them. The other one didnt see me, because the shipwreck was in the way. So i did the same with him, and swam back to the fort, grabbed a keg, and blew up the other ship. This time i went below deck, and hid next to the lower stairs and killed anyone who tried to repair. Once i started to drown, i went up the stairs and ran unto one of them. He was holding a bucket, i was holding a blunderbuss. Another guy tried to sword me, i jumped over the stair entrance and ran above deck. I waited on the other side of the stairs and killed him once he came up. I went to get ammo and food, when i saw that my ship sunk. I assumed that those were the remaining two guys, so i swam to the fort from the now sunk ship and checked for them. I took a mermaid because either they did the same or i suck at hide and seek.

Indi So yeah they suuucked. Still proud of myself doe

Bloody hell. First time I got one of them little heart things. Cheers mate. I thought my comment would just fade into the other hundreds of comments this long after the video was released. Love the content, sail proud.

Thank you 😊

Thank you 😊

sea of thieves vid when?

@Gromek999 here?

Welcome 😊

I mean, just snipe the guy trying to reel in, he's literally a sitting duck there

K. Thanks, problem solved. What a genius

@@icymethodman There's no need to get sassy, I just disagree that being the main thing to look out for. Have a good day 👌

🤣 gg well done !

As someone who plays open crew because I have no friends, the bigger issue is people who _think_ they can carry, then proceed to put kegs in the crows nest turn on every lantern in a five mile radius and lower the anchor.

Thank you 😊

Ya me and my friend started cause of quarantine and it’s so much fun

As someone who's played since launch and used to do this a lot, I'd recommend against it. Yes, it's doable, and gives a speed advantage (and a great way to practice micromanagment - I have no doubt you're a skilled sailor); but you WILL encounter combat scenarios you can't win. An enemy boarder dropping the anchor, for instance, is an instant L as long as their crew finds an advantageous position and opens cannon-fire. Plus, it's been tested and proven (I believe Phuzzy made a video about why even *duo* slooping is inadvisable) that brigs sink faster than sloops. One could argue that none of this matters if you're proactive in avoiding conflicts, but you will waste valuable time taking those additional precautions, and if the enemy crew are skilled and pursue relentlessly (which many will), you won't be able to keep up with their faster sail management, effectively negating your speed advantage and ensuring that you'll get caught or cornered eventually. Didn't mean for this to be an essay, but those are my fifteen cents on the matter. If I haven't convinced you, then I wish you good fortune on your solo brig endeavors!

@@captain_britain first im sorry if my english is not right, it is not my native language but i will still try to explain my point of view as clearly as i can. Yeah i agree with almost everything of what you say. This is why i didnt say solo brig is better than solo sloop. There are pros and cons. Its mainly a question of playstyle and how u r approaching solo. When i play solo, if i want grind or pve, i clearly prefer avoid the fight. Manage your ship and manage the enemy ship (if its two or more players) is nearly impossible if the enemy knows how to play correctly. Its not only me, I saw tons of solo streamers and maintime its really difficult and long to win the fight if not loose. With this point of view, avoiding the fight is better and, at the end, will buy more time and will earn more gold. For this purpose ( avoid and flee), brig is better, clearly. * First point, against the wind sloop is faster but not so much (~5%), with the wind brig is much faster (~20 to 50% depend the direction). So with a brig you will achieve objectives faster and your time on the sea will be shorter. At the end, gold per hour is higher (i tested it many times). * Second point, bail is easier not because its faster (that is not true, its same speed) but because u can drive and bail, on a sloop u have stairs slowing you when you want to come back to drive. * Third point, brig is more intimidating. Solo brigs or duo brigs are rare so players think its always a crew of three people. Main time, solo sloop and even duo sloop will stay away. However, against a trio brig it will be difficult even to flee....as it will for a solo sloop. Gallion are rare and not so difficult to escape. As a solo sloop i stop to count how many times i was attacked. As a solo brig, its rare (i count that on a total of ~ 1500 hours, mainly in solo) * Fouth point, u can turn on open crew if its really hard to flee. Now if someone is looking for fights as a solo player, in this case brig is not advice, i agree. I treat here only the aspect of avoiding fight and flee. After many hours tested both i clearly prefer use solo brig than solo sloop if i want to grind. If i want to solo fight, i obviously prefer use sloop. You should try it one day, give solo brig a chance, u will see its not that awfull and when u will come back to sloop after dozens of hours oooooh damn u will feel slow ^^. Have a nice game.

Wow thank you for sharing 🙂

I also saw your stream where you pretended to find that four year olds chest that he left for you, props to you bro you’re an inspiration for character

Thank you 😊 I'm glad you enjoyed it 💜

Thank you :)

Tea Party!
