“The sea of thieves is a great community for beginners” When I started on my first sloop two years ago two guys jumped on, spawn killed me and slowly destroyed my ship, joined my party, laughed, took all my loot, then scuttled their own ship
Me and my friend helped two guys complete fort of the damned after they asked us to. They seemed very friendly and we had formed an alliance. We helped them kill the skeletons and the last boss. We didn't even help them for the loot, just for the experience and commendations. When they opened the vault we weren't even going in there but the came to us and shot us. After that they sunk our ship and disbanded the alliance. We made it very clear that we didn't even want the loot and we asked them to let us just slip away. Nope. They sold the loot and came after us for the second time and sank us again. We didn't even slash a sword at them once. But hey. It is what it is.
Medli92 yea I’m glad that he mentioned Phuzzybond, but Burgerwarrior24 is the worst. The way that he acts when talking controversial things in the game (wallbanging, double-gunning etc.) is so childish. His views on different pvp aspects are bad, and his reasoning behind his bad opinions is just delusional. He’s not a good streamer and until something changes I don’t think that anyone in the SoT community should support him.
“Sea of thieves community is very welcoming to new players” yesterday I saw 2 allianced galleons sink a 1 player sloop in under 1 minute and the sloop had no skins, no chests, nothing.
My friend and me did quite the opposite, sank one galleon and the other one escaped sadly after getting kegged xD 1 sloop vs 2 galleons but the sloop was winning xD
AbsolutePixel: jeez I just realised how long it would take for a solo player to do the shores of gold alone *y o u w e r e s u p p o s e t o d o i t w i t h a c r e w ?*

As an experienced solo slooper, my tip is always have a Rowboat. It makes makes a great escape pod when you have alot of loot and you need to get away from pirates.
“The sea of thieves community is very welcoming to new players” ohhh, is only this we’re true. I was literally killed on the island my very first time before even getting on my ship. Some dude just walked up and started killing me. No warning. No speaking. No interaction beyond killing me instantly. And that is by far the most common interaction, unfortunately
It's OUTSIDE the game. On Discord, in the official forum and even the Xbox club. They answer questions (= wiki link) and you can find players to team up with. INGAME, yeah different story. My boat also got sunk when I spawned. Dude complained that I was "blocking the dock" or some shit
I always play Solo in a Sloop. Never once did I encountered other players, just the basic Skeleton crew ship and the occasional Pokemon shark. So basically it's all Sea for me and not so many Thieves.
@@squarciatore2000 I had that happen to me once which makes me wish that there's a Single Player mode where all you do is solve riddles, find treasure and just explore.
For a while my spouse and I didn’t have anyone else to play with so all we did was duo sloop together and I solo sloop all the time. Now we play with friends too but I have been solo slooping regularly since beta.
This video honestly changed my entire experience with this game. I just solo killed and sunk my first 2-person brig and the feeling is priceless! Pirate life 🏴☠️
Love you, Pixel...now that's out of the way. Only thing I would have added is keep your wheel straight with the anchor/sail step. Don't want your ship spinning. And you!make a highlight video, with wolf. See ya on the seas
I've been learning Sea of Thieves watching your videos and playing with my roommate, our proudest achievement so far is ambushing a sloop that had looted a reapers chest shipwreck, I've really learned a lot about boarding from your videos and I was able to wipe them out and drop their anchor while my boy put holes in their ship
2:52 Oh trust me, as a solo player myself, it takes a very long time. Though bloody worth it, traps are fun, Story is interesting, puzzles are amazing, Gold Hoarder curse is a beauty.
The most frustrating thing is when you complete a boss fight or something like an ashen lord and then a ship comes out of nowhere, kills you, destroys your ship, and then takes the loot.
Awesome video. I agree with all points made here, but I do have a small addition - barrels. As a solo, those are your best friend and worst enemy at the same time. If you find yourself in a PvP situation where you bit off more than you can chew, those things can be a lifesaver. Pretend to run away, but once the ship is stable and free of holes, grab one, sneak up on the enemy following you, detonate the barrel below them and (if you survived - which takes a bit of practice) board them. Drop their anchor immediately, and if they are slow to react fight the repairing players. Buy as much time as you can, and maybe even sink them like that. But at the least the chaos and confusion makes it easy for you to run away. Also - never fear Galleons, the Sloop is quite maneuverable, so shake them off in narrow passages or do 180 - turns with your anchor around Rocks to gain time. But if you encounter a Galleon in an open space, you are mostly fucked. Peace =)
You are the shit, my good sir. The video is full of good information, beautifully edited, and HILARIOUS! Plus you shout out 2 other well deserving SoT content creators..something I feel is awesome and very genuine. Most content creators are so viewer hungry, that they're scared to mention, or have mentioned, ANY other creators/channels. Love your videos man. I salute you.
Before my wife joined me on the game I was always solo on a brig didn't have too much trouble some sloops stayed away from me thinking it was a 3 man crew and friendly crews I encountered were always surprised or didn't believe I was alone at first but I would recommend the brig only once you're used to everything as it's a good middle ground ship more durable than a sloop and sometimes a good deterrent for less experienced sloops. Awesome video pixel always enjoy your content keep up the great work
Very good pieces of advice. I actually play SOT solo like 99% of the time since Beta and apply most of them already. Except the part where you look for people to play with and adjust your course because you see someone to avoid combat. Even fully loaded with treasures, I'm always too lazy to change course and end up sailing to other players. This got me to sink and lose everything several times, but you can actually come back and retrieve your treasures if you had plenty, because other players will need to gather your goods and turn them in. 90% of the time they will pick the nearest outpost from where your sank, so go full speed to that location, you might get lucky. I would also add, ALWAYS check your map before you start a battle (even unwanted one) so you can know where to come back. Also, sinking a 4 crew galleon solo is priceless :)
You know what would be really funny... if the devs of Sea of Thieves made a one-player "ship". It'd be a dinghy with a single sail, a single continuous small cargo compartment below the top deck (which rides VERY low above the water), a cloth rain fly over the sculling rudder, a single bow cannon (more like a small grapeshot deck cannon) mounted on a deckgun pintle, and a rifle rack hanging up behind the rudder station tied to the rainfly staves. :-P There would be no life boat (as it would only be half again as big or twice as big as the size OF a life boat) but you would have several small barrels below decks and there would be only enough storage space as you could basically crouch to get into it, but it'd be just big enough to squat down into, take two steps fore and two steps aft of the central deck hatch, pass the thin mast running through the hull to the keel, and then have to stand back up again to get out of. It would be the most cumbersome little cargohold to get into and out of, as you have to crouch and/or stand to do either, but it would be the fastest little ship in the entire game, but with the most anemic fire power of them all. It'd be small enough that the sails would come all the way down to the gunwales and you'd have to crouch under them to get from the bow to the stern and vice versa if they were fully unfurled. It'd be like one of those little island hopper ships you see in the South Pacific cultures. It could even have an outrigger on one or both sides. :-P The gun COULD be a full-sized cannon, but if it were then it would need to be mounted on a turret so it could get enough swing to reach both sides of the ship for a single cannon. This way you could could still get a full cannon's worth of fire power out of her, but only one shot at a time. Perhaps it might somehow boost loading speed slightly also to make it less anemic. :-P
@@uui no, the sloop is a two player ship. It can be manned by one player but is designed for two. With that logic, a galleon is a one player ship due to the fact that one player can crew it.
“Welcome to the Salty Spitoon, how tough are ya?” “How tough am I!? I played Sea of Thieves solo and did a fort.” “Yeah? So?” “And I did it on a Galleon.” “Right this way, sir! Sorry to keep you waiting!”
Personally I avoid combat while soloing but even with just one friend with me can give me the confidence to not just fight but to get out alive. Also having someone repairing while you're doing a cannon fight is so nice.
When I started playing Sea of Thieves (September 2019) I barely got any help, So now I try to help as many new players as I can cuz I don’t want anyone to have go though that. “doing Shores Of Gold Tall Tale Alone.” I did all the Tall Tales alone on my first time doing them!
This video was actually what convinced me to get sea of thieves. I wanted to play it for a while but didn't have anyone to play with, and heard it was near impossible to play solo. So watching this video game me enough reason to try it, and I'm really glad I did! I love playing the game with or without friends.
Never played the game, was just looking for info if my mates are not around. The "artstyle" of this is just plain perfect. I´m really feeling like a "old" pirate is teaching me young gun how to be a worthy pirat. Like and even sub well earned, sir.
I did all of the shores of gold tale all by my self and even if it has taken me tons of hours in the game, these hours are some of the best I had in the whole game. I'm planing on trying to get the shore of gold curse in solo. Would recommend to every pirate out there. It really help you to learn your way around a ship. Now, even when i'm playing with friend, this experience is really helpfull and I can sail a brig or a galion on my own while theye board enemy or other things. It's a greath experience that really polish your skills.
I once was attacked by a Kraken *and* a skeleton ship at the same time. Luckily I had an amazing teammate and we got through it! It was like my second or third time playing, and i hope i can play with that person again!
i sometimes find myself soloing there was this one time before they added the megladon and ghost ships i was soloing and was about to be attacked by a player galleon and the next thing i know the waters turning black i turn around and that player ship is being attacked by the kraken i soloed few time just recently i had just opened the game for the day stocked up at the outpost after spawning in and left was immediately attacked by the kraken survived that went to an outpost to restock left and was attack by a ghost ship beat them got the loot and a continued playing went to 2/3 island with no issue and then was attacked by the megladon and a said fuck it am just gonna run went to an outpost sold all the loot i had before continuing playing the last time i soloed it was close to 12 oclock at night i sold all the loot i had i went to steven spoils and started fishing then a see a player ship coming the was flyin the pvp flag a didnt really bother coz a was about to go off and he shot my ship with cannonballs he only hit about 3 shot out of 10 and then says sorry starts repairing my ship and leaves
I remember I was sailing solo one time. On my way to an island during a voyage, the storm caught up with me, and I was stuck in it. I say to myself that this isn’t too bad; as long as I keep the ship sturdy and bail water every now and again, I should be fine. Then, a skeleton ship comes in from out of nowhere. I ready myself for a fight, but those guys were surprisingly accurate for skeletons. They ended up killing me with two direct hits to my face. I die, and when I respawn, I’m back on my ship WHICH HAS ALREADY SUNK BECAUSE THE GAME DIDN’T REALIZE IT UNTIL AFTER I SPAWNED. So that’s my rant about how I died to a skeleton ship in the middle of the storm, only for the game to basically put me back into the middle of the ocean while the storm was still raging.
Last week I downed 3 skele shloops in a row at one of those battle for the seas shits, and I was chased out by the galliants and a player brigant, these new updates gonna be fekin great
wel when I saw the teaser for this game 3-4 years ago I was oh this is gonna be the real shit as it came out there were bugs and it wasn't that big of a game but I think that despite it has been improved so major I haven't seen this game as an mmo or grindy game I have always seen it as the one game you and your mate's play on a friday night all the way to sunday night just relaxing and chilling having fun.
Hell yeah you can! I solo Brig all the time. I’ve noticed more people try attacking me more when I’m alone in the sloop compared to when I’m alone in the Brigantine because they think there’s 3 people on board when they themselves might be alone. The brigantine is really not that hard to control by yourself, or I might just be used to it idk. Best pro about it, it scares off the other little sloops depending how skilled the player is.
It's funny how simply adding one step of joining the discord server makes ''matchmaking'' actually enjoyable. It's basically just as fast but the people on discord aren't toxic pieces of shit.
ZeroChill 215 probably not when you first start, you won’t know what to do at all, my first time playing I got on a big galleon and they helped me n stuff, then later I went on a sloop with another noob and it was fun since we both didn’t know what we where doing but we where discovering stuff
Techincal alpha I was playing this game on my own and the only ship available was the galleon. Too often there wasn't a crew, so yes, this game can be played by yourself, even in a galleon.
I will be salty for one im covered in sea water Two im always only attack when im either on the way to somewhere or im fresh spawn 9 times out of 10 im attacked when i have nothing on my boat Like shit i wouldn't mind it but im always solo with literally nothing when im attacked XD (usually happens when im right next to my destination and have to go always go back across the map)
@@XpertPlazma kinda hard when they sit right where i spawn with blunderbusts and shoot me point blank (they get me while im trying to fix my ship cause they usually lob fire bombs after hitting me with cannons) I usually have to play as solo mostly because the people i get usually squaded with are complete idiots and wont follow quests or anything or just happen to be afk when the action starts) I either defend and sink or repair and die I can defend against another sloop but i always get attacked by full crew gallions
@@pixelman6193 I don't know what to say dude I've been teaching my friend how to play and he's been playing 3 days now. He can solo a galleon now, the main advice I tell him and I'll tell you for ANY game is... Don't panic. If you think oh well fuck it you can just do it again. If you have this approch to everything you will win more fights. You will make better choices in the heat of the moment, you will start to understand how fast your ship sinks and how long you have to kill the people on board before you have to repair, if you are on a sloop no matter how many holes you have you should be able to bucket faster (Trust I have). Anyway Enjoy the game dude.
I learned yesterday from where to park your ship. I was at Devils Ridge and I was semi behind the island but it wasnt enough because a brig saw us. I noticed them coming and I got in my ship and started maneuvering while my friend was getting bounty skulls. They and then I went back to the island and then they came back and we were on a huge chase and eventually a kraken got them. Probably the luckiest experience I've had
I didn't get to pirate legend with some half-witted crew! I got there with daring escapes, amazing keg explosions, crafty theft, and a keen sense of the stealth that comes with being alone. It's rough, it will never end well most of the time, but goddammit I was an amazing pirate on my own and the rewards I reaped from the grind was beautiful.
They really should have done the Pirates of the Burning Sea style where everyone is the captain of their own ship, where if you wanted to play with others, you all can, but again, you're sailing and captaining your own vessel.
Hey ! I just started playing the game yesterday thanks to the Xbox Game Pass. I'm enjoying it a lot, but I wanna find people to play with since my friends don't want to buy the game since it's still 30 bucks. I'm also new to pc, but I learn pretty fast. I have a good sense of humour and I love role play. I'm French and fluent in English. I hope you have a great day, see you guys on the seas !
I remember when I started sea of thieves I put up a looking for group post, and this absolute legend who was rlly good at the game played with me for like a week. I don’t think I would have kept playing sea of thieves if it weren’t for that guy.
Brooo I can't stress enough how important it is to stay away from other players as a solo player, my friend and I rocked up on a solo player on island we needed to use, at first we were chill and minded our own business until we couldn't find him (we still saw his boat) so naturally we see what he had on board and we were pleasantly surprised to see that he was stacked, long story short a few gun powder barrels later and we left that island 20k richer. And don't feel bad for the guy he had ample opportunity to dip we where there for 5min before we attacked, and he still saw me swimming over with a gunpowder barrel and didn't drop his chest to defend
Dude I year one soloed to Guardian of Athena's Fortune doing Forts (more like raiding them with the row boat and a bunch of kegs once the Legends finished it for me) and Ashens Athenas. Boys were those the days.
I brought my friend sea of thieves and he ended up getting obsessed with it. Now that we play together, we have our tactics. As he's American and I'm English, he wakes up just before I get on pc. So he spends a few hours doing tall tales (he believes they're too boring to make someone else deal with) and then I come on, sometimes getting the achievement for finishing the tall tale before I've even unlocked it, and then we play PvP and world events
Am I the only one who thinks that sailing on your own in the sea is more relaxing and enjoyable than having people screaming at your ear to tell you what to do?
Small thing with tip #2. Never, ever, *EVER* try to solo a galleon. You will have a bad time, and can be easily beaten by literally any other ship. Saw it happen before, guy couldn't even properly turn his ship to fight against a one man sloop.
Watched your "that guy" vid and sure as hell next open crew game I played I got one. Felt like a work horse and had to listen to to the most cancer hot mic ever. Luckily my skills are solid and I made it out with some fatty loot and a good work out. He aint lying open crew games are super risky. Also would like to add that if you get in that discord and tell people you are new and looking for a crew you will get nothing but crickets in my experience so good luck in that department.
I've pretty much went solo sloop, I dont like randos, I've played on and off for a few months. I'm now a pirate legend leveling up through Athenas levels. haven't done any story yet , but I'm living proof given enough autism and determination you can do whatever you want.
2:50 As someone whose been doing pretty much just that for the past week completely solo, it's *very* time consuming. And that's when I'm not being attacked by Galleon crews while on a quest island.
"I wonder how much time it would take for someone to do the tall tales alone" Dictionnary list that under the word : Pain. Yes.. It was just that.. pain.
Satz not the ones where you just find treasure chests (like legendary storyteller.) the only hard part of those are the miles of sailing you have to do. I also solod briggsy and yes, it was a pain. And i played gold hoarder with my friend and even duoing him took 20 minutes

btw, I have done the Shores of Gold Tall Tale by myself. once you figure out how to abuse the Gold Hoarder's path finding, he becomes super easy to defeat solo.
I’ve only played solo and open crews. Got pirate legend the other day. If you play solo or with new players enough you’ll be a pro on the sloop and won’t ever feel like you have to run from galleons or anyone else.
I did the shores of gold solo it took me 6 hours which was shorter than another tall tail, one of the first ones i had to restart 4 times because some other players kept sinking me. It was the best fun i have had in a video game in many years
Just wanna say thank you. After watching your video’s I have become a much more aggressive player. And actually, because of this I have killed, sunk, and stolen a lot more loot.

Awesome video. I agree with all points made here, but I do have a small addition - barrels. As a solo, those are your best friend and worst enemy at the same time. If you find yourself in a PvP situation where you bit off more than you can chew, those things can be a lifesaver. Pretend to run away, but once the ship is stable and free of holes, grab one, sneak up on the enemy following you, detonate the barrel below them and (if you survived - which takes a bit of practice) board them. Drop their anchor immediately, and if they are slow to react fight the repairing players. Buy as much time as you can, and maybe even sink them like that. But at the least the chaos and confusion makes it easy for you to run away.
Also - never fear Galleons, the Sloop is quite maneuverable, so shake them off in narrow passages or do 180 - turns with your anchor around Rocks to gain time. But if you encounter a Galleon in an open space, you are mostly fucked. Peace =)
You are the shit, my good sir. The video is full of good information, beautifully edited, and HILARIOUS! Plus you shout out 2 other well deserving SoT content creators..something I feel is awesome and very genuine. Most content creators are so viewer hungry, that they're scared to mention, or have mentioned, ANY other creators/channels. Love your videos man. I salute you.
Before my wife joined me on the game I was always solo on a brig didn't have too much trouble some sloops stayed away from me thinking it was a 3 man crew and friendly crews I encountered were always surprised or didn't believe I was alone at first but I would recommend the brig only once you're used to everything as it's a good middle ground ship more durable than a sloop and sometimes a good deterrent for less experienced sloops. Awesome video pixel always enjoy your content keep up the great work
Watching this after a year of playing I laughed way to hard when you said "if you're solo stay away from the storm" I love storm fishing !
Very good pieces of advice. I actually play SOT solo like 99% of the time since Beta and apply most of them already.
Except the part where you look for people to play with and adjust your course because you see someone to avoid combat. Even fully loaded with treasures, I'm always too lazy to change course and end up sailing to other players. This got me to sink and lose everything several times, but you can actually come back and retrieve your treasures if you had plenty, because other players will need to gather your goods and turn them in. 90% of the time they will pick the nearest outpost from where your sank, so go full speed to that location, you might get lucky.
I would also add, ALWAYS check your map before you start a battle (even unwanted one) so you can know where to come back.
Also, sinking a 4 crew galleon solo is priceless :)
You know what would be really funny... if the devs of Sea of Thieves made a one-player "ship".
It'd be a dinghy with a single sail, a single continuous small cargo compartment below the top deck (which rides VERY low above the water), a cloth rain fly over the sculling rudder, a single bow cannon (more like a small grapeshot deck cannon) mounted on a deckgun pintle, and a rifle rack hanging up behind the rudder station tied to the rainfly staves. :-P
There would be no life boat (as it would only be half again as big or twice as big as the size OF a life boat) but you would have several small barrels below decks and there would be only enough storage space as you could basically crouch to get into it, but it'd be just big enough to squat down into, take two steps fore and two steps aft of the central deck hatch, pass the thin mast running through the hull to the keel, and then have to stand back up again to get out of.
It would be the most cumbersome little cargohold to get into and out of, as you have to crouch and/or stand to do either, but it would be the fastest little ship in the entire game, but with the most anemic fire power of them all. It'd be small enough that the sails would come all the way down to the gunwales and you'd have to crouch under them to get from the bow to the stern and vice versa if they were fully unfurled.
It'd be like one of those little island hopper ships you see in the South Pacific cultures. It could even have an outrigger on one or both sides. :-P
The gun COULD be a full-sized cannon, but if it were then it would need to be mounted on a turret so it could get enough swing to reach both sides of the ship for a single cannon. This way you could could still get a full cannon's worth of fire power out of her, but only one shot at a time. Perhaps it might somehow boost loading speed slightly also to make it less anemic. :-P
I'll just stick to the sloop thanks....
@@uui no, the sloop is a two player ship. It can be manned by one player but is designed for two. With that logic, a galleon is a one player ship due to the fact that one player can crew it.
These tips do make me feel a lot more confident to go out and just go full force
The reason why I and probably most of us watched this vid:
"You guys got friends?!"
I have 3 other friends i mainly play games with, but the annoying thing is that they all use PlayStation
I did shores of gold solo and it took me about a week, but your reaction to it makes me feel more accomplished...I think that's why I love you
“Welcome to the Salty Spitoon, how tough are ya?”
“How tough am I!? I played Sea of Thieves solo and did a fort.”
“Yeah? So?”
“And I did it on a Galleon.”
“Right this way, sir! Sorry to keep you waiting!”
Personally I avoid combat while soloing but even with just one friend with me can give me the confidence to not just fight but to get out alive. Also having someone repairing while you're doing a cannon fight is so nice.
When I started playing Sea of Thieves (September 2019) I barely got any help, So now I try to help as many new players as I can cuz I don’t want anyone to have go though that.
“doing Shores Of Gold Tall Tale Alone.” I did all the Tall Tales alone on my first time doing them!
*looks at title*
“I don’t know, I think so”
*looks at thumbnail*
“Oh, good to know”
This video was actually what convinced me to get sea of thieves. I wanted to play it for a while but didn't have anyone to play with, and heard it was near impossible to play solo. So watching this video game me enough reason to try it, and I'm really glad I did! I love playing the game with or without friends.
I play Sea of Thieves solo while being on a Sloop, and it works.
Never played the game, was just looking for info if my mates are not around. The "artstyle" of this is just plain perfect. I´m really feeling like a "old" pirate is teaching me young gun how to be a worthy pirat. Like and even sub well earned, sir.
oh my I never been this early to a vid but clicked instantly
Same
Patrik Kramolis a bunch of shitters looking for likes and people to argue with
Why does this man not have more subs Jesus Christ this was the BEST sea of thieves guide I’ve ever seen in my entire life my god
I did all of the shores of gold tale all by my self and even if it has taken me tons of hours in the game, these hours are some of the best I had in the whole game. I'm planing on trying to get the shore of gold curse in solo. Would recommend to every pirate out there. It really help you to learn your way around a ship. Now, even when i'm playing with friend, this experience is really helpfull and I can sail a brig or a galion on my own while theye board enemy or other things. It's a greath experience that really polish your skills.
I once was attacked by a Kraken *and* a skeleton ship at the same time. Luckily I had an amazing teammate and we got through it! It was like my second or third time playing, and i hope i can play with that person again!
i sometimes find myself soloing there was this one time before they added the megladon and ghost ships i was soloing and was about to be attacked by a player galleon and the next thing i know the waters turning black i turn around and that player ship is being attacked by the kraken
i soloed few time just recently i had just opened the game for the day stocked up at the outpost after spawning in and left was immediately attacked by the kraken survived that went to an outpost to restock left and was attack by a ghost ship beat them got the loot and a continued playing went to 2/3 island with no issue and then was attacked by the megladon and a said fuck it am just gonna run went to an outpost sold all the loot i had before continuing playing
the last time i soloed it was close to 12 oclock at night i sold all the loot i had i went to steven spoils and started fishing then a see a player ship coming the was flyin the pvp flag a didnt really bother coz a was about to go off and he shot my ship with cannonballs he only hit about 3 shot out of 10 and then says sorry starts repairing my ship and leaves
This is a bit unrelated but I like your one piece pfp ;)
@@ob1934 thank u
I remember I was sailing solo one time. On my way to an island during a voyage, the storm caught up with me, and I was stuck in it. I say to myself that this isn’t too bad; as long as I keep the ship sturdy and bail water every now and again, I should be fine. Then, a skeleton ship comes in from out of nowhere. I ready myself for a fight, but those guys were surprisingly accurate for skeletons. They ended up killing me with two direct hits to my face. I die, and when I respawn, I’m back on my ship WHICH HAS ALREADY SUNK BECAUSE THE GAME DIDN’T REALIZE IT UNTIL AFTER I SPAWNED. So that’s my rant about how I died to a skeleton ship in the middle of the storm, only for the game to basically put me back into the middle of the ocean while the storm was still raging.
Thanks for the no spoilers the game is downloading right now and I’ve never played I’m super excited!
I somehow soloed a gallion (everyone in my crew left) and somehow destroyed a enemy player sloop.
Never.
Again.
Galleon*
Hi do you still play? Can whe play in a crew?
schlingel i do. And sure GT PunkRock Vixxen
"Those the sloop"
Me: alright cool!
*Chooses the 4 man crew*
Last week I downed 3 skele shloops in a row at one of those battle for the seas shits, and I was chased out by the galliants and a player brigant, these new updates gonna be fekin great
wel when I saw the teaser for this game 3-4 years ago I was oh this is gonna be the real shit
as it came out there were bugs and it wasn't that big of a game but I think that despite it has been improved so major I haven't seen this game as an mmo or grindy game I have always seen it as the one game you and your mate's play on a friday night all the way to sunday night just relaxing and chilling having fun.
Hell yeah you can! I solo Brig all the time. I’ve noticed more people try attacking me more when I’m alone in the sloop compared to when I’m alone in the Brigantine because they think there’s 3 people on board when they themselves might be alone. The brigantine is really not that hard to control by yourself, or I might just be used to it idk. Best pro about it, it scares off the other little sloops depending how skilled the player is.
Yesssss he finally uploaded the stars have aligned
I been wanting to play this game.. but didn't think solo was possible. This got me hyped to try it. Thanks
It's funny how simply adding one step of joining the discord server makes ''matchmaking'' actually enjoyable.
It's basically just as fast but the people on discord aren't toxic pieces of shit.
Me who has been playing solo since the game came out: 🧐
Btw i have no friends
An additional note to tip 0: You can also use Xbox looking for group posts
Can you solo Sea of Thieves
Of course I know him, he’s me
Can it really be done... At least for the first few hours?... I actually just decided to jump into this game
After soloing for months I got so bored and still none of my friends wanted to try it out and now here I am 6 months later trying the game again
Jonah Kerkhove im on pc. wanna play with me and my other friend? we’re both 17 if that matters lol, just looking for more people to play with
ZeroChill 215 probably not when you first start, you won’t know what to do at all, my first time playing I got on a big galleon and they helped me n stuff, then later I went on a sloop with another noob and it was fun since we both didn’t know what we where doing but we where discovering stuff
Me always plays alone and alone killed every incounter in the game.
Also me can't kill an enemy player.
I actually started out by myself and I enjoy it very much, it's very calming i think and sometimes people are nice enough to make an allience
Techincal alpha I was playing this game on my own and the only ship available was the galleon. Too often there wasn't a crew, so yes, this game can be played by yourself, even in a galleon.
Tip number 80: shoot first
Came for the title, stayed for the voice.
Tall tales alone aren’t that bad. Not having a crew to mess around and get distracted while you’re trying to just finish them is great.
First review/walkthrough EVER that made me chuckle and smile. Well done, mate!
Final tip: don’t be a salty pirate it’s Sea of THIEVES, note the full cap word
I will be salty for one im covered in sea water
Two im always only attack when im either on the way to somewhere or im fresh spawn
9 times out of 10 im attacked when i have nothing on my boat
Like shit i wouldn't mind it but im always solo with literally nothing when im attacked XD (usually happens when im right next to my destination and have to go always go back across the map)
@@pixelman6193 Then don't sink and you won't have to sail all the way back.
@@XpertPlazma kinda hard when they sit right where i spawn with blunderbusts and shoot me point blank (they get me while im trying to fix my ship cause they usually lob fire bombs after hitting me with cannons)
I usually have to play as solo mostly because the people i get usually squaded with are complete idiots and wont follow quests or anything or just happen to be afk when the action starts)
I either defend and sink or repair and die
I can defend against another sloop but i always get attacked by full crew gallions
@@pixelman6193 I don't know what to say dude I've been teaching my friend how to play and he's been playing 3 days now. He can solo a galleon now, the main advice I tell him and I'll tell you for ANY game is... Don't panic. If you think oh well fuck it you can just do it again. If you have this approch to everything you will win more fights. You will make better choices in the heat of the moment, you will start to understand how fast your ship sinks and how long you have to kill the people on board before you have to repair, if you are on a sloop no matter how many holes you have you should be able to bucket faster (Trust I have). Anyway Enjoy the game dude.
pixelman619 make an Xbox live post or use moot it might have people there
I learned yesterday from where to park your ship. I was at Devils Ridge and I was semi behind the island but it wasnt enough because a brig saw us. I noticed them coming and I got in my ship and started maneuvering while my friend was getting bounty skulls. They and then I went back to the island and then they came back and we were on a huge chase and eventually a kraken got them. Probably the luckiest experience I've had
I love your sea of thieves videos please please do more and continue sea of thieves your editing and funny personality is perfect for this game!
See, it’s funny, because I do this anyways.
I had no intention of watching this but when I saw that you had the answer in the thumbnail I had to like the video.
Just took down my first megaladon solo, started playing yesterday, 10/10, would clench every muscle in my body again
I didn't get to pirate legend with some half-witted crew! I got there with daring escapes, amazing keg explosions, crafty theft, and a keen sense of the stealth that comes with being alone. It's rough, it will never end well most of the time, but goddammit I was an amazing pirate on my own and the rewards I reaped from the grind was beautiful.
They really should have done the Pirates of the Burning Sea style where everyone is the captain of their own ship, where if you wanted to play with others, you all can, but again, you're sailing and captaining your own vessel.
I did all of the tall tales and got the gold curse solo.
It took a month
It was hell
Im so glad im done with it
i thought this was just gonna be just another sea of thieves video but i actually really enjoyed it and i didn't skip anything
Hey ! I just started playing the game yesterday thanks to the Xbox Game Pass. I'm enjoying it a lot, but I wanna find people to play with since my friends don't want to buy the game since it's still 30 bucks. I'm also new to pc, but I learn pretty fast. I have a good sense of humour and I love role play. I'm French and fluent in English. I hope you have a great day, see you guys on the seas !
Rowboats are the most precious cargo is another good tip, I've saved critical loot TWICE with a rowboat only when my ship was sinking
I remember when I started sea of thieves I put up a looking for group post, and this absolute legend who was rlly good at the game played with me for like a week. I don’t think I would have kept playing sea of thieves if it weren’t for that guy.
Brooo I can't stress enough how important it is to stay away from other players as a solo player, my friend and I rocked up on a solo player on island we needed to use, at first we were chill and minded our own business until we couldn't find him (we still saw his boat) so naturally we see what he had on board and we were pleasantly surprised to see that he was stacked, long story short a few gun powder barrels later and we left that island 20k richer.
And don't feel bad for the guy he had ample opportunity to dip we where there for 5min before we attacked, and he still saw me swimming over with a gunpowder barrel and didn't drop his chest to defend
Dude I year one soloed to Guardian of Athena's Fortune doing Forts (more like raiding them with the row boat and a bunch of kegs once the Legends finished it for me) and Ashens Athenas. Boys were those the days.
I brought my friend sea of thieves and he ended up getting obsessed with it. Now that we play together, we have our tactics. As he's American and I'm English, he wakes up just before I get on pc. So he spends a few hours doing tall tales (he believes they're too boring to make someone else deal with) and then I come on, sometimes getting the achievement for finishing the tall tale before I've even unlocked it, and then we play PvP and world events
Am I the only one who thinks that sailing on your own in the sea is more relaxing and enjoyable than having people screaming at your ear to tell you what to do?
Small thing with tip #2. Never, ever, *EVER* try to solo a galleon. You will have a bad time, and can be easily beaten by literally any other ship. Saw it happen before, guy couldn't even properly turn his ship to fight against a one man sloop.
Watched your "that guy" vid and sure as hell next open crew game I played I got one. Felt like a work horse and had to listen to to the most cancer hot mic ever. Luckily my skills are solid and I made it out with some fatty loot and a good work out. He aint lying open crew games are super risky. Also would like to add that if you get in that discord and tell people you are new and looking for a crew you will get nothing but crickets in my experience so good luck in that department.
Great editing. You deserve more subs. So here ya go. I subbed ;)
I've pretty much went solo sloop, I dont like randos, I've played on and off for a few months. I'm now a pirate legend leveling up through Athenas levels. haven't done any story yet , but I'm living proof given enough autism and determination you can do whatever you want.
2:50 As someone whose been doing pretty much just that for the past week completely solo, it's *very* time consuming.
And that's when I'm not being attacked by Galleon crews while on a quest island.
Can we get a video of you, Wolff, PhuzzyBond, and Cpt. Falcore manning a galleon? I feel like that would be amazing!
They've also added a audio queue for the ghost ships each time you look at them from your spy glass. just adding a little more info to tip 4.
"I wonder how much time it would take for someone to do the tall tales alone"
Dictionnary list that under the word : Pain.
Yes.. It was just that.. pain.
Satz not the ones where you just find treasure chests (like legendary storyteller.) the only hard part of those are the miles of sailing you have to do.
I also solod briggsy and yes, it was a pain. And i played gold hoarder with my friend and even duoing him took 20 minutes

@@mrkitloin Nah to be fair they weren't hard to do, its just a pain because its as boring as it can get^^
btw, I have done the Shores of Gold Tall Tale by myself. once you figure out how to abuse the Gold Hoarder's path finding, he becomes super easy to defeat solo.
I’ve only played solo and open crews. Got pirate legend the other day. If you play solo or with new players enough you’ll be a pro on the sloop and won’t ever feel like you have to run from galleons or anyone else.
I did the shores of gold solo it took me 6 hours which was shorter than another tall tail, one of the first ones i had to restart 4 times because some other players kept sinking me. It was the best fun i have had in a video game in many years
Just wanna say thank you. After watching your video’s I have become a much more aggressive player. And actually, because of this I have killed, sunk, and stolen a lot more loot.
