- Sea of Thieves: How to Defend your Ship Solo [Sloop Survival] There is a reason why most players aim to board a sloop, because as a solo slooper if you are down, you are done. So, how can you prevent that from happening? This is where throwables come in play, The Firebomb, and Blunderbomb.
Adding to that, the super-secret, sudden sword lunge.

did u do this vid because of my comment on th-cam.com/video/kB_qrvosGgQ/w-d-xo.html&lc=UgwON2ZMzad6ik2pF0x4AaABAg.98EP8CryDM998EaJt1UF9_ ?
Thanks phuzzy for the ❤️. I have just started watching your content and streams I hope see more of this amazing content, and I am learning from you every time I watch you. Keep it up!
Doubt you'll ever see this but how do you get that meter for the anchor ?
@@Shadradical What do you mean meter? :)
@@PhuzzyBond HOLY SHIT ! you saw it ... lol at the 3min 36second mark theres like a little meter for the anchor ? I think it is. The blue thing
"Mission sucessful , Captain is off a bit of damage done and Jack Sparrow is a bit too excited" That made me laugh so freaking hard xD
Lol
Glad I wasn't the only one. I've rarely heard a deadpan line delivered so well as "Jack Sparrow is a bit too excited!" 😂😂
Same my guy
eee ellinas
@@PanosTGSheen Yes
I'm actually really proud of myself. There were 2 guys in the medium ship (i don't remember what it's called) and i had really nothing. I just set sail after selling my goods and i didn't have much food or anything else. They sank my ship and were celebrating on the island i was adventuring on. Well I decided I'd get back at them for that, I managed to kill both of them at roughly the same time so i knew i had a little time. I raised their anchor and set their ship straight into the island and into a skeleton that was carrying a powder keg. I put their wheel far to the right so they constantly hit the island, i then used 5 fire bombs on their deck, sails, and a few below deck. Their ship sunk and they were not happy as i got a few...colorful messages from both of them. I am solo (for the most part) as i just started playing 2 days ago. Your tips helped me a lot to get a good start in the game so i figured I'd share this story with you and the comments, thanks a lot man keep up the amazing work
Hey are you still playing? That’s an insanely creative move for your 3rd day
@@modasael3121 yep, even got my girlfriend playing too
What console?
@@iWasHim_ Xbox one
Nice
I always find brigs are the most aggressive, yet sloops are probably more deadly.
That is partially due to the crews, but also to the ships. A hostile crew on a brigantine has likely seen some tutorial or another on how to easily sink a server recommending the ship, which also leads to them often having free or cheap ship cosmetics and all black clothing (for the ship, sets like the spartan or omen, or blank colored sails), but the ship is designed for attacks that it can escape quickly from, being so frail a target but having the quickest acceleration of any ship coupled with the slowest turning.
A hostile crew aboard a sloop is likely good enough at the game to not have to rely on numbers to win, but instead tactics and skill. Their ship reflects that, being able to stay out of the firing arc of most ships and dish out a decent amount of its own fire, with the ammunition stores being so close to the cannons themselves. It is also the slowest to sink, so it can take a beating and escape regardless with a good crew.
Galleons are the most varied ship, with some crews being hopeless aboard them and others being nearly impossible to actually sink, particularly with the second deck absorbing any stray or bad cannon shots with no flooding, as the ship is built to tank damage and retaliate with unparalleled firepower. Its many masts also reflect that, taking longer to fully disable than smaller ships.
Of course, some crews are hopeless regardless, and others have alternate strategies for better or worse performance. It's a varied Sea.
@@ultmateragnarok8376 .. woww u really just wrote a whole paragraph
Tell that to the sneaky galleys. I am always just hanging out sailing by when out of nowhere there is a four man galleon heading straight for me. And always in the worst times. Like with an Athena. Or trying to ambush fotd when they aren’t even involved
@@nicholasrestrepo2555 Ships don't appear out of nowhere (unless they spawn at an outpost, but unless you're also there than you'll still see them, and they shouldn't spawn if you're there). They can mask their approach behind rocks and islands but you'll see them coming at some point as long as you keep an eye on the horizon at all times.
It's all depending on the crew
"PvP in this game is so bland."
Yeah right, look at Phuzzy here, insanely creative manouvers and fighting style.
PVP is so fun. Arena is great too, love it.
Its bland because its all the same for half of the playerbase. *Sailing on an adventure and a fully crewed Galleon or Brig rolls up while you’re solo on a sloop and attack you. The toxic playerbase has ran so many people away that they cant even make it to where only sloops are on the same server to make it fair.
@@TheRealMrMotorboat I left the game a long time ago. Nobody wanted to fight at the time, not even reapers bones. Everybody wanted to be friendly and fled from everything. It was sad and boring.
@@JoeyJoestar99 Well literally everyone left that plays the game absolutely loves pvp and sinking solo sloops for no reason. So if thats your cup of tea then you might like it
@@TheRealMrMotorboat I'm new to the game, but tbh it's one of the least toxic playerbases I've seen in a PVP game *so far*
I've seen a lot of PvP guides. I've got to say this is one of the best and most complete guides I've seen. It has a lot of smaller details that newer players don't know about yet
Oh hey thank you so much 😊 more coming
That tip about putting canopy fires out from the bottom is EXTREMELY useful. It makes managing fires SUPER easy on a solo sloop.
That move at the end was so salty, they knew you were gonna win so they made sure you couldn’t get their sweet sweet grade V reapers flag
Reasons you shouldn't be able to lower the flag if your ship has damage.
Or maybe they just had to get off for the night to get to work/school and couldn’t be bothered to continue the fight? I’m sure we all have been in the same position
Tuccer Jim possible but I don’t think this is the case here
Cheap, but as he said it was their best move in that scenario.
You get extra gold and reputation for lowering your flag . They probably knew they lost so they didn't want to risk losing like 4000 gold and some rep for no reason. Not a salty play , a smart one.

@@MarcooMRT Ya got me on that one, dude. Definitely laughed lol
This is excellent. I'm often a solo slooper and by no means being highly experienced I try to avoid other ships at all costs. However I might try these if I am chased. Great vid :)
Fight people with no loot on your ship. Like, if you do your turn ins and see a ship? Go fight them. You have nothing to lose and it can only make you better at the game.
@@Y00bi I agree mostly but you still lose supplies.
@@legg1499 Gathering a decent amount of supplies for the ship before sail takes time and is the most boring part of the game, specially if you're alone. So I always rage when my ship gots destroyed and I loose all of it.
Okay okay my mans really said “I first notice they haven’t watched my gown to aim cannons guide” and then LINKS IT IN THE CORNER MY MANS IS SMOOTHH!!! Def earned a sub
I wish I could think this critically in the heat of the moment. In battle, I always make split-second adrenaline-induced decisions which more often than not get me killed. Oh well, I guess it's a skill you refine with time. Good stuff!
Wait, a SoT TH-camr that uses their failure as a learning tool? What alternate universe am I in here?
Solo sloper (2yr) here. Phuzzy is by far the greatest content creator with awesome tutorials and in depth guides on tactics and game play. Patiently awaiting his next drop. Pistol Heroes at the ready!! Well done bud.
That Dodo Airlines reference was god tier !
"He is standing there with a rocket launcher" got me good :D
JACK SPARROW IS A BIT TOO EXCITED 😆 omg I dunno why that was so funny 🤣
THE SHIPWRECK HARPOON TURN! You're a mad man, if I'm locked in a chase I'm going to be looking for those circling gulls all the time now.
"if I was chasing someone like me, I would hate me" lol
when i first bought this game it was a school night and i was ready to go to bed
i had watched everyone play it at launch, i watched summit play it, and got a good understanding of how it works.
so im like "before i play lemme make a playlist of solo beginner guides"
well 2 days later when i finally opened the game i had completely forgotten about the playlist
lucky for me that was one of the few times, my forgetfulness came in handy.
because while I had a good grasp on the main parts of the game, sailing solo and learning from mistakes or from random encounters was the best. I realized I could use vault keys to actually do vaults, got ambushed while I thought I was safe on an island, got krakened in the open sea and escaped with all my loot on a rowboat, harassed a fully decked out galeon and ended up making friends with them, successfully pulled off 3 tucks in a row, sunk and then stole my first ashen loot haul as well as their emissary 5 flag, tucked on a ship and listened to a father/son explore the seas together(then keg bombed em), rallied 2 other sloops to fight flame beard with me and it was actually epic, and most recently fought off a reapers mark sloop while i was being attacked by a meg.
its safe to say that once you learn your ways on this game it becomes the easiest way to create amazing memories.
for anyone looking to get into this game, dont be afraid to go solo. sure its more work, and playing with a friend is way more fun, but Ive already started to consider this game as one of my top 10 even after just 2 weeks of playing it.
because at the end of the day, its not about the loot or cosmetics, It's about having an experience (and maybe looking good while doing so).
"Solo Sloopers make great crew " on larger ships. -needs to be said more often !! THX
I've never heard that statement before and I like it, relates to a lot of pvp situations
"I lost the fight but not the battle."
I wish I could be as calm as you during pvp..
My heart races..no lie.. I feel the the small spike in adrenaline...it surprises me..like dafuq? Nonprovlem in rdr2 or gta.. random
yo i feel you lmao. We were gaining on a ship and getting ready to board when i blurted ou9t "IM SO NERVOUS" irl lmao
Same but I get shaky
no joke I start to shiver a bit
Agree..shaky and shivering.. it's a trip..
JUST gotta put on my Reapers Bones outfit go solo and just be more Pirate..
Practice PvP.. Sink or swim..
@@xiphosmaniac lol been there..
Thanks man fended off my first reaper emissary because of your tips!
To elaborate i steered my ship around evading them and ran through the ghost ship event so they were slowed down, got myself to an island and sold off all my stuff. I used several tips from this vid, like how to pre-position the sail, how to use the harpoon to steer, shooting their ships to keep them busy, and using blunderbombs when selling my stuff while they attacked me.
holy crap putting fires on the canopy out from below is world changing. thank you phuzzy.
Another amazing guide Phuzzy! These narrated encounters are super helpful - understanding your thought process and breaking down your options is the best for learning. Please keep them coming! Even for Brig & Galleon combat.
More coming 🤗 that's a promise
“Apparently they were teaching me Portugese” I just searched this up and had a good chuckle
Everytime I watch your content either stream or YT vid you always teach me something new! Thanks Phuzzy
I often see people use anchor to turn, but your way is more simple. Thanks man
I like you guises a lot because you make things really simple and easy to understand
"They're Teaching Me Portuguese" XD, Man, from a Brazillian myself, I laughed a lot when you said that. Turning back in the game a couple years later on a bad pc running poorly at 20-30 fps but still having fun as always, and there where your videos come in great help. Thanks for the content and always continue making your videos, they help a lot
I enjoy your videos because you are well spoken, don't beg for likes and subscribes at the beginning of your videos, and provide clear details and instructions. Sharing your videos with all my greenbeard friends. Bravo!
The sunken ship manuever idea is fucking gold man, you're a genius.
Thank you 😊
Im still not used to fight chasers when solo (or i just refuse to give them what they want) but i love using harpoon tactic to outmaneuver them. Expect when two guys chase you with Brig, one of them try NON STOP hit you with harpoon, and other stand in front and yell "We not gonna hurt you". Funny words when they start chase with hillbilly accent "You gonna die, BOY!" (South, huh?).
And YES....two of them... no one looks for ship wheel so i harpoon that incoming rock to make Caribbean Drift, with PLEASURE
I was literally just killed on my first solo sloop adventure while waiting for a friend to come back from the store. Managed to fend them off for a bit after watching some of your other vids, but I wish that I'd seen the advice on the sales deal about 5 minutes sooner. I might have survived for a bit longer. xD
I like your attitude towards losing. A loss is always an opportunity to learn and to think of better ways we could've played!
Hey i just wanna say this is the best guide i've ever come across and even after a year im going to write this down and get better thank you
Imagine fighting you like halfway through the fight you just start receiving heavy fire from an island. Really cool left field moves you pull here
That animal crossing reference had me dead Hahahah too relevant as that and sea are my fav gsmes
This battle was more exciting than most movies I've seen recently.
Finally, a video all players, including veteran players, can benefit from 100% Love your videos Phuzzy, this as gr8!
Wow, watching your videos is not only entertaining but really educational. Really enjoy your channel!
It's crazy that someone who talks so calmy is such a savage player.
Please don't stop showing us tips about solo slooping you have no idea how much better I got thanks to you and other streamers. Amazing content ! peace dude :)
No worries 😊 will always bring more solo sloop content
Reasonably new to the game and you genuinely have the best tip videos for getting better 🤩
Awesome mate 🤗 wind in your sails!
nice video Phuzzy
Just what saved me my ship yesterday and my loot.First real combat where i didnt run and instantly get destroyed instead had a battle.
They left me after a while ago,but now i know even if i dont see them anymore.Check the isle you are on if they are hiding on the other side before starting your mission.
When he said “they were teaching me Portuguese” and I looked at the chat I almost died laughing
“FDP” means “Son of a bitch” if anyone’s wondering
that hook on the underwater ship was incredible
Honestly as someone who is more of an evasive solo slooper rather than a defensive skirmish solo slooper, I still picked up some really nice tips. I doubt I'll ever get into that dogfight position on purpose, but that blunderbomb tip I know is going to save me more than a few times. I'm pretty good at making sure I can outrun most other crews out their and lose them, but the few that threaten to keep up, this will be nice.
just started yesterday, your videos are helping me quite a bit in terms of pvp! though for the most part, i've been having really positive encounters. i had a three-man begin to sink me, then when they realized i had nothing they came and patched my ship up and gave me a bunch of materials. really loving the game so far!
Wow they really just did that at the end! I cant believe it! (Make sure you watch the whole thing!😜)
Gnarfield I love your vids,phuzzy's vids and sneaker's vids
I did sth similiar when i got attacked by anchoring at a outpost
The only thing i cared was my flag.Had already sold the loot.
That is so annoying lol. Gaining the upper hand with a disadvantage and they deny you the closure of finishing the job lol
Rico Sanchez All’s fair in love and war
There are no rules in the seas
I find the hardest thing as a solo sloop is setting your shots up and keeping the helm managed. Would love some tips for that
"setting your shots" do You mean cannon fire?
@@PhuzzyBond @2:45 and @4:00 you have your wheel set up just perfectly so that you can stay on cannons and get more than a few shots off. It's mostly positioning. I tend to sit on cannons a little too long, neglecting the wheel, and then having to overcompensate to line up my next series of shots
@Sam E oh ok I understand 🤗 I will work on a video for this, but mostly it's to predict where the other ship is heading and move based on that
@@PhuzzyBond You're awesome Phuzzy. I love your videos man
Thanks mate 😊
that was a great PVP overview combined with the thinking aloud very understandable. Scary calm while PVPing.
I can't leave my ship because my loading screen takes forever. So that's not an option for me
Yeah, servers suck hard in this game.
@@elmagodragon Nope, its not the servers its your hardware. I load back from the ferry or mermaids within a literal second of pressing the button. You need to upgrade to an SSD and quit crying my dude
@@elmagodragon That is not an server issue. My game loads within seconds. It is a hardware issue on your side.
That is also the reason why I prefer playing on console. Just a fair base for everyone.
Wundawuzi how do you check your hardware ? i’m a bit of a dumbass when it comes to console stuff
@@marco8940 just google the console you have and see if it has an SSD, which it probably doesnt since you have loading time issues. Go on amazon or to walmart and buy an external SSD or just get one with an adapter and boom, 3 second load times tops
Phuzzy, a trick I learned that is a little quicker than mermaids and the only real reliable place to use it is on seaposts, but there is a spot just to the left of the merchant person that you get stuck amd the game just puts you on your ship
love this! Thank you for the tips
You are not wrong when you say sloops are deadly, almost took out our whole alliance with a few kegs, unfortunately for them I got a lucky shot at their crows nest.
Dude!! Amazing video, I am a brazilian player and I am sorry for those guys who u faced. Certainly u showed up yourself much harder as they expected.
Thanks for the tips man.
This is just another fantastic guide by the Yoda of the Seas!!!!
This is JASDRUMMER btw :)
Oh hey mate 🤗 good to see you here , hope you're doing well and safe!
@@PhuzzyBond Oh I am always behind you stalking these incredible Guides and sharing with my crew. Beyond the content I am blown away by the editing art!! I'll see you on the next Stream. Til then be safe and well mate!
@@TheJASDrummer thank you my friend 🤗 see you next stream and have a great sail!
I don’t know what it is but if I’m solo sloping I’m more scared of another sloop than a brig. I also wanted to say that your voice is very calming.
Thanks for the guide! while playing in the arena I stopped 3 boarding attempts with blunderbombs
Love your content man well done keep it up so funny too.
Woah with this information this changes sea of thevies a lot for me
Saw the Tweet before i saw the Notification!
🤔👀
I like how you don't shit on other people who don't like fighting players
This is why I sub to your twitch ever month phuzzy. You learn from your mistakes and teach others no not make the same ones.
Thanks mate 😊 good to see you here my friend
Boi, this is gonna be very helpful for me.
._.
I love that you sound like the narrator in nature shows and movies
Phuzzy I use your guid so much that it is natural to me now. Love the content keep it up!
This is gold! One of the best guides I've seen Learned a lot
Thanks this will help so much on Athena voyages and runs
Dope vid, phuzzy
Your voice cures my soul...
Oh my god, this video is incredible. I didn’t know any of this really
New video tomorrow 😊 with more tips like this one , performed live
Great! I’ll try and watch. There’s more to this game than meets the eye.
10:34 damn this new sea of thieves updates are crazy
Great guide as usual! My son and I watch your videos. Next time he plays he'll be Pirate Legend (8yrs old. XBox S).
Hey Paul 😊 send my regards to your son, wind in your sails! I'll give him a shout-out on stream if you are there to congratulate the new legend ! Stay safe my friend
You have some good videos explaining strategy. Just subbed
Priorites are
Bail plank steer shoot
And Allways keep lots of supplies preferably in supply crates
First time watching u and ur amazing man ur the goat
Thank you 😊
I haven't played for a while, thanks for this!
Thank you so much this video is super helpful keep up the good work😊
LOL the animal crossing reference was golden.
Very helpful, very few of my friends play SoT, so I generally solo around. I play only on Xbox if anyone is looking for a solid PL crewmate
Yes please, add me if u wanna play, my gt is DarkPrince9449, im 12 but... i mean, i hope it isnt a problem
These tutorials are helping me a ton, I just started playing earlier!
The only correction I would make is that in my opinion the sword is simply the best anti boarding tool if they come from the ladders. You never have to reload and as long as you hit them while climbing, they will fall off. Even if they manage to regrab, all they are doing is killing themselves. But at the same time, while solo, I understand that you may not want to spend time potentially having to hit them off the ladder multiple times, even if its 100% safe, because if they are not solo, their mate can still shoot your ship in that time.
So I guess while writing this comment I found the answer to my proposition already lol.
Another glorious video. The blunderbomb advice will definitely be heeded, makes so much sense. More rapid than the blunderbuss, gets them back in the water where you can finish them easily with the flintlock or eye of reach.
Thank you, there aren't many good guides out there.
The fact that you sunk after they scuttled is an oof moment by them.
This helped a lot especially the Secret sword dash
I love this series, Phuzz... good work!
they should change when if your an emissary and your in a fight you cant lower the emmisary until they run away or you sink them
Love ur guides im a newb pirate yarr
Hahahahaha that ACNH insert was nice xD
@PhuzzyBond i think after season 8 you will probably have to remake this video, and maybe have a series of 5 min vids about specific topics, if i saw more alliance flags od probably ally a lot more for one example and tht takes 2 seconds to say. Condense them for easy learning, not that your videos arent alreadys.
The mosquitoes sound effect scared me a lot (I’m allergic)
I'm sorry 🤗
lol thats the most pussy sounding thing I've heard. I didnt even know that was possible
They're a pussy because he/she has an allergy. Flawless logic.
@@no-hr6rj How dare someone have an allergy!
thank ya sir🤠
Great video as always Phuzzy! Even though I don't really solo sloop this is still pretty helpful!
Agreed mate, it works for all types of defense, if you do this as a crew you'll never lose 🤗
Thank ya, Fuzzy Wang!
Great vid phuzzy
