Sea of Thieves' quest for REAL GOLD! 

This video took 3 weeks of non-stop editing to finish. (+ a little Tears of the Kingdom on the side). I don't think the next one will be the follow up to this video, I probably wanna do something simpler first... It depends on how this video performs.

These are the sorta puzzles that make this game special. My only issue with them is that they take so much focus that i forget to concentrate on the fact that the anchor on the sloop isnt centered.

The REAL pirate move is to wait for someone to win the skull, find the winners home, and steal it.

ok, so I am about 6 minutes into this video and honestly dude, this video is AMAZING. For someone who loves SOT but doesn't follow along with this kind of stuff you have made a masterpiece! Thank you so much for the content.

I havent played this game in 3 years and i still think its awesome

I would love a part 2-4 on the absurdity that are in them but I totally understand if it doesn't perform well.

This is one of the videos of all time

This was super helpful! I would love if SOT hired someone that solely makes new in-game puzzles like this every week. It would be so nice to have some non-procedurally generated puzzles every now and then. And in a year, they would have 52 quality puzzles that new and returning players would love!

I wish riddles were like this for gold hoarders voyages. Sure it might take longer but damn, it'll be way more fun

So good at the game that you still managed to finish it by going through the wrong arch and on top of the wrong rock at the end! Great editing though, Geenee, seriously! I hope this does well so we can get the next stage explained.

I've really enjoyed watching this video. Please make them for the other parts of the mystery

Man, all that work for one foul bounty skull?

this was a gorgeous rendition of all the events, great work!

God ppl are crazy smart. Not only did some group of rare eployees come up with this then get it going with the game, but people are actually solving this. Its good to know the whole world isnt doomed to stupidity 💀

What an amazing video, keep up the good work my man❤

Was expecting to have the riddle following also be insanely complicated at some point xD but luckily it isnt at least "yet" looking forward to the next video

I thought this would be funny video, but got an actual educational video. Thanks Geenee!

9:20 The reason the letters were mirrored was because you had to read them starting at the side the fruit was on, not just left to right or top to bottom.

This is your best video!! Please do all steps!!!

I liked doing the riddles in game. However the outside riddles are stupidly complex. Most of the time i was like you "how the hell were we supposed to know that?" So i just waited for the answers online then did the voyage myself

THIS EDITING LOOKS SO GOOD

I love the idea. Much like how runescape did their riddle that the community tried to solve for a helmet. I just wish it was more like runescapes, in game only. Wouldve been more fun and accesible for everyone.

Absolutely love this !!! ❤❤❤ OPA

9:05 "For some reason I still don't understand" The reason those needed to be read a different way is because they're read from the fruit outward, aka in the direction of the spotify link

Yeah solving these riddles is impressive. BUT MAKING THEM OMG. It's ridicilous but at the same time just incredible how somebody can make these up.

Ap with a new banger

16:16 The way he said hewn made me snort with laughter for some reason

i instantly noticed the pigpen cipher because me and my friends used to use it to send notes in class lol

I've been really busy irl to even attempt this, and just from the first puzzle I can see that I definetely don't have the patience or time to try. Props to those who get it, but this is just too much for an average player like me lol

10:00 Is was at this moment, when my BRAIN went cross-eyed 🤣🤯😵‍💫

3:21 also known as Masonic, never seen it properly uses, however because I'm one in few to understand it this was a really cool detail

The Hoarders Hunt? That's a funny way to spell Ready Player One

This is amazing

You are the best pirate.

BF4 Easter Egg developers are in awe right now.

Not since the days of the sword quest games on the atari 2600 has there been sutch a tresure contest.

This was beautiful.

Imagine getting the final puzzle and... roll for encounter! 1D20 pls. 1= hacker steals your final piece of puzzle, 2-5= skelly gally AND meg spawn on you; you get sleep curseballed in the face and sink with final piece, 6-10= game crash, 11-15= you get get sunk by players while on the seas, 16-19= you get to the outpost but you get killed before turning it in (and final piece stolen), 20= you actually are able to turn in the final piece.

End of stage 4 Geenee says ''I made all this up, now if only Rare did this it would be cool'' and The parrot shows up again.

This is what you call ACTIN'

Honestly the in game voyages were the bast part of the experience for me, and I did enjoy doing my best to decipher the riddles in game. That said, the ones outside the game were my biggest.. gripe(?) with this event. A lot of the puzzles just felt far too convoluted and obscure from the get go, though the worst being the last one which was only solved today, 4 days before the 22nd deadline. Don't get me wrong, I think they absolutely nailed the in game portion, but the riddles outside SoT were just kind of.. infuriating. I felt that a lot of the internet puzzles were harsh on those that can't pull all nighters to work out a wacky internet riddle to get some pixels in game and a real gold skull because they have to work at 4 in the morning, yet a lot more generous to those dwelling in their parent's basment if that makes sense. It just feels like Rare.. didn't understand or forgot that not everyone has the free time to spend hours scouring the internet for every clue for this adventure as many of us are adults with jobs we have to go to and very limited free time? (I've seen quite a few out there that share this sentiment on a few places like reddit, twitter and the comments on the SoT YT channel.) The only ones who really had a chance to complete this event first are typically those with a lot of spare time on their hands which others just.. don't have, leading to a significant disadvantage and even a punishment just for not having all the free time in the world to solve internet riddles. Overall the in game experience was great, brilliant even but everything else was just.. ugh.. I don't have much free time due to the hours I work, and the fact that this event primarily benefited those that had far more free time or just don't work at all is what makes me most disappointed in it, I feel that things like this shouldn't punish people for not having enough free time. "What's that? You work long hours and therefore can't spend all day and night trying to solve our funky internet puzzle? Well that's cool, good luck not having a chance to get those exlusive rewards!" - Rare probably

This is the weirdest tall tale ever

I think you made this a bit easier to understand 😅

17:13 i did this different, i looked at my 6 o'clock, the giant middle rock and to its right there was another arch of wood and trough it there was a big rock a little bit to the south of the island, and there the actual north pointed to the big tree

Great video, it must be terrible work on that :D

20 minute genie😍

God this is so cool. I am sad I missed this.

5 minutes in and my brain hurts

Nice acting, friend

I'm entertained sir

Its better replica of working obsidian eor

never forget what the french say, MATIS is the key!

They say that the code for the final puzzle remains unsolved to this very day.

Reminds me of bfee

Let’s summon matpat

I have the Spotify video feature turned off so there's no way i could've figured that out

Bro who needs detectives? I'd argue a few greasy pirates could solve the impossible..

“Fuck this video is only halfway done??”

ok but who's skull is it?

At least he hasn't pointed out anything in this quest that is an NIT PICK!

I was so annoyed when I clicked on this I thought I missed the final answer for puzzle 4 lol

wasnt it just some gold medallions of an skull?

have the community done every stage yet or?

Someone at Rare had to have worked at Bungie...

Yipee!

Da update wit no gameplay innit

It’s just ridiculous and stupid how hard they made this first part! The first parts suck for all 4 of them but the key missions were fun after you got the stupid hard code!

Is this still going on?

Imagine if they put this much effort into a functioning game, they would have had 69,000 more people who cared🤣

Theres gotta be a clue in this video, im on it bois

can you please give me code puzzle 4?

😂

Sadly for me, I cannot participate. Only in a few countries, you are able to win the prize.

easiest tall tale be like

98% of mystery is in social media other 2% is just sailing great content Rare

Devs could’ve added new sealife and monster and a new voyage for the time it took to make this stupid puzzle actually tf

AbsolutePIXEL HyPIXEL It all makes sense, Absolutepixel is H

Yoooo pixel. Jeg er også norsk. Wanna play en gang

You again?

At the beginning of your videos i sometimes think that it might actually be serious

last 😔

so is this finished? i have never heard of this LMAO

Too many Words

Hello😊

Is it over yet…..yawn 😮

First

Wasn't expecting a video like this while the game rots away. Then again, what else are you going to make a video on. The game desperately needs life breathed into it, and soon. These mysteries are doing nothing to help.

The mystery sucks. Too hard and poorly thought out. You got to work together so there can be one winner? Why would people cooperate in the final stage when if they figure it out can just screw everyone over and go get the key first. Why work together if you need to go solo? It's gonna turn into a race which is also unfair due to different times around the world and the riddles for finding the dig spots are near impossible due to lack of information and you have no idea what it's talking about it. At least the first mystery made it simple to figure out but the second one is just bullshit and I hate every second. It was made for highly intelligent people. If you're too dumb to understand what's going on you're shit out of luck. I go back to see what's progress was made and I got no idea what's going on, how people get their information or what they do to solve it so im basically useless in this mystery. I hated every second of it. It feels really unfair.

Rigged contest. A cheater already won.

WTF! thats all i have to say. Going website to website twitter post. Drcod codes, flip fruit codes. Its insane

I don’t care about a gold skull I care about getting the trinkets
