Tip number 5: be ready for an- *Ad starts playing* I was not ready

The editing and use of presentation in this video is amazing, Very honored for the mention 😊 thank you

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 ?*

“That rock that makes me looks twice” never related more.

3:28 "I have never been sunk by a 1-2 man brig"... says the guy that sinks galleons like they were row boats ;)

Tip number 0: Find someone to play with. Priceless

“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

“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.

The new player must also learn: the level don't do the skill

"The Sea of Thieves community is very welcoming to newcomers" Sea of Thieves community: "Oh boy, fresh meat"

Solo'd today for 5 hours. Made 100k. 50% of the time was spent screaming at the spawn rate of basic skeletons and how short the day/night cycle is

0:15 bold of you to assume I even have friends

I solo brigs for the sole reason of “my friends will be on in a bit, might as well get started”

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.

Me: _does literally anything else_ Sea of theives: Ok Me: _has precious cargo/is doing a tall tale_ Storm, kraken, meg, enemy ships, and skelly fleets: *so, you have chosen death*

"Can you solo Sea of Thieves?" *Sees yes you can in the thumbnail* Well, mystery solved.

I just want to know why "that rock that always makes me look twice" is darker than the rest. If it were the same color I wouldn't look twice.

“But your friends don’t want to” So you’re expecting me to have friends in this situation?

I love how while you're in the middle of saying "be ready for anything" I suddenly get an ad. Shows how little I stick to that tip

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.

100hrs, thats about how long it took me to solo all the tall tales to completion 5 times each (plus a few extras with crashes and pesky pirates)

Cheers Geenee. Just start playing this game with a friend and these tips are helpful.

"You can always pop up the Alliance Flag..." As if that's ever gonna work out

“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

That tip about "having enough time"... I started a Tall Tale and started at 7pm and ended up 11pm because of Megs, Krakens, Other players, islands etc. My parents plugged the power out and I did everything for nothing.... Tough life for a almost 18 year old

Playing solo is actually a lot of fun and the more u play alone, the better u get at the game.

It hit me when you said you “can’t imagine how long it would take for a player to do shores of gold alone”... that was a struggle man.

I was so excited to play this, and then massively disappointed once I joined a random crew and saw how chaotic and unproductive it was. Trying solo for the first time was amazing. It's everything I wanted out of this game.

I did all of tall tales by myself. It took me about a week.

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.

"You want to play sea of thieves but your friends don't want to" man if this isn't the truth for like 80% of earth lmao

First review/walkthrough EVER that made me chuckle and smile. Well done, mate!

I already know all this, as I've done a lot of solo slooping. but this guy is just entertaining.

“The sea of thieves is a great community for beginners” I started playing when I first got my Xbox this Christmas so I’m not very new but I recently had a few encounters with very nice people one of them helped me on my voyage and the others formed an alliance with me and another crew before that though I would get attacked by any ship that came near me,I recently learned that if you point your cannons up it is a sign of peace so I have been doing that when I start my sloops

i just got the game a few days ago and have a person to play with on the weekends. however, during the week, i have to solo. i decided to look for some guides and yours popped up. im so glade i clicked on it. your humor is amazing. unlike most guides, you add humor that made the video 1000% better. thank you for the info and the laughs.

I'm a new SoT player and I've watched many new player guides here but this one is by far the most straight forward and explanatory.

love how you just answer the question in the thumbnail

Did the entire Tall Tale set by myself, all 9 voyages, 5 times, all journals. Yes it was hell, yes I loved every moment of it.

Your editings got me sooo much. Keep up the good work! Your channel amazing

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.

YAY... My wife and i been waiting on you brother.... Thank you sir.. For another AMAZING and awesome VideoSh..err, Videosch

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

Hilarious and highly inspiring :) I watched this at work and was excited to go back home and play again. Great content man!

This has to be the best content i have seen for a loooong time. Well done Sir.

Emissary update "I'm about to end this whole man's solo career"

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.

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

You have the best Sea of Thieves videos and I enjoy them all. One trick I like when soloing is I do 25% in the row boat, 25% in the barrels, and 25% of my supplies in the "supply crate". I hide the ammo and supply in the bushes next to the ship. I also put everything on the beach and use the harpoon to bring it all up. You covered it all Pixel, thanks!

Yes finally another vid

“You can’t play arena by yourself” Sea of thieves: but what if..... arena sloop?

I been wanting to play this game.. but didn't think solo was possible. This got me hyped to try it. Thanks

i was already doing a lot of this stuff but you've really confirmed and given me confidence and what i was doing and for that i thank you. Great vid!

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

“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!”

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

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.

oh my I never been this early to a vid but clicked instantly

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

Thanks for the no spoilers the game is downloading right now and I’ve never played I’m super excited!

*looks at title* “I don’t know, I think so” *looks at thumbnail* “Oh, good to know”

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 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

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!

Yesssss he finally uploaded the stars have aligned

The reason why I and probably most of us watched this vid: "You guys got friends?!"

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 🏴‍☠️

Couldn’t agree more with the PhuzzyBond comment! Loved your video and it’s a really high quality

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.

The worst feeling is when you are on an island and your going back to your ship is getting barraged by another ship

I play by myself in a sloop all the time! It teaches me how to drive a ship better and it’s pretty nice to play alone and enjoy the environment.

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!

Title: Can you Solo Sea of thieves? Me, whos been doing that the entire time: Yes, for like 20 minutes before you get bored

I somehow soloed a gallion (everyone in my crew left) and somehow destroyed a enemy player sloop. Never. Again.

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.

Great editing. You deserve more subs. So here ya go. I subbed ;)

"Those the sloop" Me: alright cool! *Chooses the 4 man crew*

Me always plays alone and alone killed every incounter in the game. Also me can't kill an enemy player.

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.

Words can’t explain how much this inspired me to keep on playing the game.

Thats stupid rock makes me look every time

Can you solo Sea of Thieves Of course I know him, he’s me

Great video mate. 10/10 editing and info

Yo love the vids man, you make my favorite sea of thieves videos

Tip number 80: shoot first

Me who has been playing solo since the game came out: 🧐 Btw i have no friends

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 :)

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.

Final tip: don’t be a salty pirate it’s Sea of THIEVES, note the full cap word

See, it’s funny, because I do this anyways.

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 =)

Very good guide!!! Going to start playing Sea of thieves soon (when it comes to steam). Im a hughe pirate fun. And i appriacte your tips. I will never forget your videos! Thanks for everything.

As someone who did The Shores Of Gold alone, i would not reccomend it.

Thanks a lot for this video I basically had no idea how to play, but now ill be ready

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 !

hilarious editing, well done. and very informative!

You said not to use the in game match making, but I remember in my early SOT days, I got into a galleon crew with pirate legends and they taught me all I needed to know and then some extra stuff that helped me. I even encountered a kraken with them, and one dude was barking out orders while the others followed and it all had a flow, and that’s how the basics got engrained into my mind, and my best first impression of any game ever. Afterwards I discovered how bad the matchmaking actually is, and one manned a sloop for a while until I got friends. This is how I got from pretty bad, to actually kind of ok at the game. And I haven’t gotten to good at the game yet. I also remember once I ended up alone on a galleon with a bunch of stuff and loot. I tried to solo it, but only for 10-20 minutes while I panicked and *somehow* managed to get the loot back to an outpost in mostly one piece. Also, I love the music in SOT. It’s so good. The full orchestra performing in the dire moments, and the music being low but kicking up when you land a cannon shot in the longer range battles. It’s all so amazing.

Your voice made this fun to listen to, thank you for the tips!

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
