When the players needed him the most, he released a tutorial. Thank you Captain

ps5 player here - been dying to play this game for 6 years. thank you for the advice, super helpful!!! hope to see you out there capn

This game is Amazing! And scary haha. Just sold my loot from a fortress and was celebrating with a chanty. All of the sudden a stranger stood next to me. I was like ohoh and played on and the fellow pirate played with me 😂 when sailing away he shouted: good bye friend. Thank god it didn't turn into a fight haha there where two of them 😂 and just getting used to the sloop.

Imprtant for the new players is that knowing the information wont make you a pro. You will sink, you will loose and some toxic sweat will curse you and your bloodline out. The most important skill in sot is not giving up, not stoping. Youll understand and learn with time and youll become stronger then many that yopu encounter. And even then you still can loose and sink but thats just part of the game.

Out of all the people making videos on this game, I actually subbed to your channel because you have us PS5 users in mind

on cooking ignore all the colour stuff and just listen to sound when the pan starts bubbling and spitting oil sound the food is cooked to perfection on every item. its very distinct sound

Excellent self-sell on the intro. You got me subbed. Thank you. Glad to see a console player give tutorials

best new player guide I've seen! you earned a sub

I've been playing this game for 3 years now and this is still some new info for me! Thanks for the guide!

Thanks Captain! So excited to get home from work and play SoT. Helldivers and this game are now my go to games. The beta had me hooked especially when I got my friends to play with me and this vid helped me so much. you are awesome!

Vet tip. Use R3 (right stick) as a key bind as well! I use it for food so i can quickly heal during battle without needing to move my thumb :)

Thank you very much. 🙇 As a new PS5 player I found all your guides very helpful & I especially liked your open and welcoming attitude towards us new pirates. I can't wait to finally sail the seas with my cross-platform friends but I guess I'll take my time to get used to the controls before roaming the world servers.

First time that I subscribed to a channel without even finishing the video. You are the best Cap, thank you for this. Hope to see you on the seas.

Thank You for this Squiddy💪🏻😎

Not on console but just now getting the game bc of my friends on ps, subbed

Thanks this is super clutch. Just started on ps5 and loving the game

Also what was that intro lmaoo loved it ❤️😂

Thanks Bro can’t wait to sink many hours into this game

Pro Tip: Turn off crossplay and enable remote controller play only to avoid Xbox and PC sweats

Awesome content just subbed! 👍

0:25 I’m sorry what sure I will sub 😂

I just started one of the best begginers guide thank u Buddy ❤️

As a ps5 player coming to the high seas this has been very helpful my friend thank you

Capitan squiddy back at it again.. I am not a swabbie but still watching it because it is a new upload ;) Keep it up squiddy :)))

Here on playstation and you just became my new go to XD definitely got a sub XD

One huge tip I’d advise new players or any controller players to do is: Put main interact button from X or Square to LB(R1) so when you’re trying to board or hit ladders you don’t have to take your thumb off the camera stick cause I’ve missed so many times before I did that. Then, assign your wood planks, food, throwables to right, left, and up on the D pad and bucket to click right stick. This makes it so you don’t have to open the item wheel every time you need to repair or bucket out water from your ship. You could try your own binds, but you get the idea. One thing this kind of makes wonky is the chat wheel, since I hardly use it I put it to X so you hold X and then have to find a way to move the selector to whichever one you want with your left thumb on the right stick. I feel there’s a reason I couldn’t bind it different but can’t remember.

Had to sub when the background music went from bf1 to oblivion. It made the gameplay hype af

I’ve been playing this game for years but finding some very useful tips in this video. 😌 I absolutely love this game.

used to play sea of thieves about 4 years ago, loved the game. I played on console and I really suck at console, so me and my friends would lose our loot a lot, but i really love the game. I got it on steam a couple hours ago and have been messing around with settings and all my old cosmetics, this video is really helpful considering I can control my aim and movement so much better now, thank you.

I have both skelly and Athena curse but still watching. Love ur vids

This is great content! Thank you!

Great guide! Earned a sub.

Wow what an absolutely awesome video. Just got this for my ps5. Well done sir well done.

This defently the best tutorial i see

Best guide I’ve seen yet

You're bringing back my nostalgia with the Battlefield 1 music. Absolutely loved that game.

im a player from 6 years and didnt even know some of these, thanks for the tips, great video, the only thing i want to mention is you dont need to die 6 times to start FOTD now, there is a skull you can get if you are a pirate legend (rep lvl 50 in 3 different catagories)

This intro is a masterpiece, im a new ps5 player and i will be joining the discord

Thanks man, finally somenuseful tips

Que gran guia vas al grano y explicas muy bien, te felicito y espero que sigas enseñando con estas guias maestras, nuevo sub!!

Great video man, earned a sub

God, thank you for this shit. Switched to ps5 from xbox, and it literally changed my entire world. i felt new again, but this guide made my life so much easier

Thanks a bunch!

The Battlefield music got me instantly, love this channel

As a new beginner on ps5, i really needed this video. Thank you, sm, bro. I've some questions, 1. Which missions should I do first to earn gold or which missions are the best for beginners. And how do missions even work? 2. Which items should i buy in the beginning or which ships 3. The best way to sell my loot. 4. How can i do dash. It will be nice if you can do a video about it please.

absolutely love it im in this video waving on your ship absolutely love it

The skyrim music when you started talking about ending the console war lol glorious

Thank you captain

intro got me i subbed

New PS five player playing in the beta here was playing last night. Got glitched by a Skelly got all my loot to a Robo got visual of the outpost and the server crashed.

Few more tips: Regular Gold Skeles can be killed with 1 Firebomb, so group em up and chuck one in there. Captains take 2 maybe 3. I also want to clarify you have to actually Raise your Lantern (Left Trigger or whatever you guys use) to weaken Shadow Skeles. When the Kraken does the Vacuum thing you can go into the Hull of your ship to prevent being pulled. Throwing a Firebomb on the deck of a Skele ship is pretty effective, especially if you can get it on the Cannon. On the Sloop, if you cant catch wind at any angle, you want to set your Sails to the Default position. The Sloop is actually the fastest ship on the server against wind. The new Horn of Fair Winds has kind of changed that though.

Easy sub, Captain!

For keybinds I would recommend switching jump to rb (r1) so you can jump without putting your finger of the stick and maybe put food on A because you can access food quicker on a then on d pad

This sounds crazy but this is the one game i wanted an xbox series s for. Already have a 360 with all the good halos and gears of war games, but the ps5 has been so good for me but this game looks so fun! Last good pirate game i played was AC4 and that was 11 years ago 😂

Enjoyed the beta alot, purchased a sloop and brig and got order of souls to 31 xD About the crossplay thing, PS5 will also be able to turn off crossplay and play playstation only servers so you wont have to play with experienced xbox players either until your ready!

I fw the minecraft music, also thanks for the video

hey, cool video man!

At 35:55 you showed the box of wondrous secrets and i immediatly noticed it kinda spelled out VIP "Very important pirate":p started playing this game 2 days ago and i found all your tips very helpful. I subbed

Our crew already has a Captain, Lookout (myself), Brawler and Cannoneer. Been only playing since the 30th, and it's amazing feeling like a kid playing pirates again. I really like that it brings out everyone's personal play style and strategy for finding treasure and fighting foes.

Returning to this game after it came to ps5 and seeing it be so lively is amazing

The bf1 soundtrack fits this video so well haha

You had me at “BALLS”

I can't even sink a skelly sloop... I am looking forward to using this guide when PS5 releases!

Turn off cross-play, check.

can't wait to get rid of game pass on my phone. I'm so ready for this to come to ps5.

18:53 when it comes to Golden skeletons if you have no quick water source near you just throw a fireball at them and it will 90% of the time kill them And if you're dealing with shuttle skeletons and if it's night time just use a flare. That will get rid of their invincibility and it will last for a while so you don't have to sit there and try switching between a lantern and sword. But pretty much when it comes to all skeletons just throw fire bombs except for the burning skeletons they are the only skeletons that are immune to the fire. Also when it comes to Skelly Islands save whatever powder kegs you can and just use it to Kill the Boss or better yet just collect yourselves of you Disney sticks. three will usually kill any boss. 39:06 if you are new avoid Reaper's hideout but if you're looking for a challenge then sure go straight ahead go right in there. Avoid dagger tooth when it comes to selling anything unless you have a captain ship because everything on dagger tooth island is just so far away but if you have a shift that you purchased that makes it a captain ship and then you can just go and sell the to the sovereigns and if you need to know who the sovereignty are they're usually people that have the big red tent. If you really want to risk getting out of some PVP that you're not in the mood for then sail right through a storm or go to the devil's Roar. That will usually discourage any low ranking players. But be warned like the person says in this video storms are definitely not something you want to just be sailing through and the devil's Roar is dangerous. also if you want a little bit of extra Firepower when you're on a Sloop then find yourself a robot with a cannon on it and put that on the back of your Sloop and that will give you two cannons pointing in a Direction and you can still use that Cannon. Be careful though because people will destroy it

Thanks only 6 more days

Thank you🫡

Hell yea no lie this is the first play station player I seen on RU-vid yet! How do we join your discord my dude I would love to game up wit some people that aren’t completely noobs

My friends and I have been really enjoing the game except for tbe pvp. Its not like we think its bad necessarily, but its so diffrent than most of the other game we play that we haven't figured it out and keep dying anytime we try to be proper pirates and get into a ship fight. Im hoping thisll help out thanks!

Thanks for the tips 👍🏻 ha tips 😏

Do you lose everything you collected when you leave the game like ammos and foods that you put in your barrel ??

Fresh ps5 player here! Ahoy mateys!!! Been having a blast joining ya'll on these andventures arrrgghh... even when I been trolled.. arrhg..

So question I am a solo slooper and I found players that were better then me but wanted too learn so I kept fight them over and over for 3 hours in open world too the point that got angry is that considered toxic I just like to get better and I can't do that against people that are full masting into rocks and then trying to board me when they have a half sunken ship

I love the Minecraft music. ❤

This video popped off, almost 2k subs since!

Skeleton balls can also be thrown onto your own ship to help defend when boarded

If u see this my friends are getting the game in a week and I play alone till then what should I do whilst I wait for my friends (I’m new ps5 player)

I do wish they would put a recenter option on the map that would snap back to your ship after scrolling around the map.

The Minecraft music in the back hits hard ngl

Meet actually gives you 25% of the regen bar, which is technically 50% health. The regen bar can hold a total of 200% health.

Old salt here, FYI anchor ball will also *RAISE* an anchor if it is currently dropped...do with that info what you may.

Man I'm loving PS5 sea of thieves veteran Xbox player and new on PS5 so allot of people keep trying me and I'm getting free loot.

Do these tips also work for X box i just got the game 2 days ago and i am really bad at

Last night we meet a gallion crew , we wanted to run away... But they told us to wait and we did. We ended up teaming up they teached us a lot of things (we are new) and they escorted us with over 100k worth of loot...i was suspicious all the way, but it ended up being all good

15:08 nice cut/transition

Here before 5k 🎉

The moment he said “I hope you like balls” I was sold and watched the tutorial 😤

bro has Minecraft OST music on a sea of thieves video 💀 nah fr tho great video, really helped

28:52 people really need this chart lmao

Question , if I get sunk , and I have no treasure, do I lose anything or does it affect me in anyway? Or do I get to spawn , an respawn ship?

I’m actually surprised how little I’ve come across nice players idk why

15:54 talking abt this, what if i dont have any friends that play this game?

I just got a pc and i whant to buy sea of theves but i know the mechanics better on ps because im a ps player but i heard i can connect my ps conntroler whit my pc can i then play whit it ?

Just a heads up about randoms.. It varies, I played and did great with one person.. and then the next person was just there so I couldn’t pick a voyage, and you can’t kick them. So do be aware of that if you go sloop and public..

Hey man great video. You want to play together? Got a few buddies playing this game and would love to have someone who can assist with learning

Should i prioritise getting rid of water or patching holes in a sloop

The ballast ball doesn't actually do much against a brig because it only has one deck all holes are always below the water
