IMPORTANT UPDATE: You're probably not gonna see a heck of a lot of me throughout January because I'll be moving places and take some time to get situated. You might catch the occasional short or livestream but longform content will be sporadic until (probably) February. With that said, I hope you enjoy the final Episode of 2022 and I wish you a happy new year!

This is exactly the session you hope for when you start Sea of Thieves

him shouting "CLIFF YOU ABSOLUTE LEGEND" seemed to sum up this story pretty nicely

I’ve said this before but the way you take these chaotic sessions and turn them into glorious stories is amazing. Here’s to even more stories in 2023

Bro the "Thieveing? In my pirate game?" bit absolutely killed me, that was amazing Also this is what I love about Sea of Thieves. Like this entire video was just peak "This is Sea of Thieves" energy

Wake up babe, new Cliff the Story Guy video came out

Just finished the video, and I got to say this is the perfect adventure to end off the 2022 book of tales. Well done and happy holidays everyone!

This is probably one of the best Cliff videos yet. Easily somewhere in the top 5.

your allies sound so genuine and invested in the game, you can hear it in their voice. so cool, they were rly chill!!

This was so fun to have you fighting with us and saving our FOTD Stack Edit - To clarify i was the nova guy from the Gally

A moment for respect to Garry the Merchant Skeleton at 0:19 sank as Captain in style.

this is one of the most epic alliance tales I have herd. I hope something like this happens to every pirate on the seas one day.

Oh god, this just reminds me of when I wound up joining an alliance and we decided to try and take on the Fort of the Damned. This was back during the Return of the Damned adventure. I was sailing towards Shipwreck Bay to hand in artifacts, and to my dismay found not only an Ashen Winds event happening on the island but a Reaper sloop heading my way. As such, I buried the collector’s chest I had put the artifacts in and then circled around the island a bit to see what happened. Much to my surprise, once I got close again after they anchored they asked if I wanted to join an alliance. I took them up on the offer and helped them take out the event. Afterwards, I suggested we try out the FotD (mainly because I had never tried it before) and they were all for the idea. Fortunately, due to the event, we could collect the flames easier and we still had a ritual skull from the Ashen Winds event. As we were fighting the waves of skeletons at the Fort, another sloop pulls up… and the Reaper sloop convinces them to join in and adds them to the alliance. A few more waves later and a freaking *galleon* starts heading our way, leading us to set up our ships so we could get a good broadside on them if we needed to. Communications unfortunately broke down with the galleon (if they even started to begin with), which led to one of the more insane fights I’ve had in this game. Two solos sloops and a duo sloop fighting a galleon, meaning we were evenly matched in cannons and crew. The difference being that, as sloops, we could circle around them with ease hitting them from three directions at once. After we managed to sink them, we grabbed the loot and decided discretion was the better part of valor and ran to the nearest outpost to sell what we already had (especially since the galleon had spawned at Reaper’s Hideout and decided to raise the emissary flag). In my defense, *I* didn’t have the emissary flag up meaning I technically wasn’t a member of the Runner’s Bones. We managed to sell a chunk of the loot before the galleon was back on top of us. This lead to us just dumping the rest of the loot off on the island while the Reaper sloop drew them off. Fortunately, we only had to deal with one of the galleon pirates trying to stop us from selling the loot and afterwards we went right back to fighting the galleon. Unfortunately, they actually managed to sink the other two ships of my alliance during the fight. Only reason I got away after that was because a freaking meg spawned on them. We never did get to finish the Fort of the Damned… but luckily for me, nobody had found the artifacts I had left behind. Definitely one of the wilder sessions I’ve had

There are a few things in sea of thieves that can match the excitement of you uploading ❤

7:42 bro suddenly became goofy ahh

7:50 *rolls on deck laughting* the way u said you toast killed me for no reason XD

Your ability to tell a story of your adventures in this game has inspired me to buy and play this game after being on the wall about it for so long. Can't wait to get home and try it out now.

I've had a really exhausting day today (not a bad one but just had a lot of stuff to do). Now finishing it off with this absolute banger of a video is really nice! Thank you Cliff!

This video perfectly sums up the beauty of sea of thieves - voyages, battles, alliances, thief’s and hit reg

the mental image ya get from the brief interaction you see from the galleon crew. they start a big alliance, get into a crazy battle with this other galleon when suddenly the whole alliance is gone, things aren't looking good and suddenly the solo slooping merchant they got to join at the start arrives out of no where like a piratical rhohirim to knock out the sail , throw down their anchor and board buying you all time and the ability to manuver that you need to win. the reaction they had to our utter madlad in cliff is 100% on point

Me and my wife just restarted playing a few weeks ago. It's her first time and I'm returning from back before the Jack Sparrow event was announced, that being said, your content has been a back bone of information and entertainment for us ! We're counting down the days until we run into you somewhere out there on the seas !! Heres Hoping !

I can’t figure out why your videos are so entertaining. Keep making great content

Love it when you get random encounters like this, my last one was when I decided to go and see if I could sink a reaper 5 galleon as I fancied my chances due to their poor navel. Ended up chasing them across the map until another galleon showed up as they had been sunk by the reaper before. We chased the reaper until we sank it and after that decided to go and do glitterbeard after finding a 2 man reaper sloop. It was the perfect end to a really good session. Great video man!

I never comment on basically any youtube video but I discovered your content today and I would just like to say alongside everybody else, it is completely incredible. Super engaging, great editing, great story telling, and by far for me the best SOT youtuber i've come across in a while. Thank you for this goldmine of content.

I just found this channel and this was genuinely one of the most entertaining gaming videos I’ve watched

Keep it up, this is amazing story telling!

Another exciting tale by Cliff. :) I had a situation a few weeks ago were one minute I was minding my own business doing a tall tale and ten mins later, I found myself with all 5 ships on the server floating in a circle with bowsprits pointing at each other. It was quite the sight for a swabbie. :) I noticed a spot where a player said "our harpoon is broken". I had that happen to me the other day. Shooting the harpoon fixed the problem.

Hi Cliff, thanks for all the moments when you made us laugh, cheer, celebrate, sit in the edge of our seat and more, 2022 was an amazing year for not just me but for all of us. Thank you Cliff :) Happy new year

This stream was so fun to watch glad to have been there:)

Damn that looks like one heck of a session, gotta love the feeling of making actual friends over the course of a journey together! This is the heart of why sea of thieves is a great game

I absolutely lust for these all out war moments in-game.

Best session I ever had was on a Galleon, my crew hadn’t all been together on the same Galleon before but we were all experienced with Galleons and had a great time learning to work together. After several hours of various quests and occasional world events, a Skelly Fleet appeared in our way to the Reaper’s Hideout. So we decided to do that before logging off…. Every single ship in the server showed up. Another Galleon, two Brigantines, and two Sloops all rolled up one after another. There were multiple Skeleton ships now too, so probably 9 ships total all blasting everything in sight. We sunk 5 Skelly ships and 16 player ships, they all just kept coming back. It took them nearly an hour to finally sink us and by that point everyone’s loot was long gone, but it was the best battle I’ve ever been a part of.

Blud just wanted a sail

They should not have removed the arena mode

“Thieving? In my pirate game? It’s more likely than you think” love it Cliff

This is probably one of your best videos I've ever watched, it had everything that makes sea of thieves a great game and the storytelling was perfect

This gotta be one of the best FOTD fights I have ever seen, Great content man!

Best video to end 2022. What an epic adventure. Awesome team mates and a sick battle to the end. Amazing video as always cliff! You've earned your break and can't wait to see you next year. 😆

Man episodes like this are why I LOVE SoT! So much can happen at any given moment!

I've gotta say, this was an absolute awesome video, you couldn't have ask for a better way to end the year, stay safe during your holidays cliff and much love from Australia

this was one of the most entertaining one of your streams yet! sea of thieves is probably one of the only games where you can get an experience like this

How you guys helping each other is so nice!

Once again a truly lovely tale of yours I wish I had these adventures in the sea of thieves

love your storytelling , so nice and fun to watch!

Thanks Cliff for the great content! In some rought times, I looked forward to every tuesday night to have a laugh with your uploads. Seen your channel grow since the beginning! Hope the move will go smooth and best of wishes for 2023

I started playing Sea of Thieves a few weeks ago and stumbled across this channel, I was so excited because I already have been loving Cliff's Overwatch content for well over a year or two now and lets just say I was very giddy to find out he made SoT content too

One of the best SoT session stories I ever watched. Great video.

I remember this stream. was probably one of the coolest experiances i've seen in SoT. There's nothing like organic PvP

The work for the video was definitely worth it. Especially that epic video card with the ships fighting. Great work as usual

Thanks for the amazing contents during the past year, Cliff! And I wish you a happy new year too, brother! Riiiiches on the sea and UNTIL NEXT TIME!!! PEACE!

Cliff your videos are perfection and you NEED to make more of them next year

Great job ! Sounds very stressful ! I'm glad you were able to finish in the end

Lovely story as always and great fun, happy holidays and good luck moving Cliff!

IMO best SoT video i ever seen, thats so cool that you can make your allies in the seas, not only your friends!

This was amazing. It's good to come across some unlikely friends and battle together. Great video, glad you got your sails. Keep up the good work

That must have been one amazing session. Happy New Year Cliif! See you next year!

You are the one person everyone wants in their team. That is just awsome

Cliff, your story for becoming pirate legend inspired me to make the journey myself. For many months I have made my way through the grind and finally made it Jan 4th of 2023. I now set my sights on new adventures as you did and aquire loot from the FOTD.

What a way to end the year! Such a good tale to tell for sure. Cheers to the new year Cliff and friends!

i love this, i dont play this game but he narrated it to were i understood what was happening and kept it entertaining, well done mate :)

Man your amazing every time I get bored of Sea of thieves I can just come back to one of your videos and then I love the game again. Keep up the amazing work! And happy new year!

You always have some fun events happening during your sessions. We love to see another sick story!

This was fantastic to watch. I'm not that big into Sea of Thieves however your videos keeps making me want to play it.

These kinds of fights are my kind of fights. A battle spanning across the entire map, blood sweat and tears spilling everywhere. Strong alliances and a rogue. Skill levels of all types. I hope to see you on the seas for epicness Cliff. 😁

This is my favorite, a great way to end 2022 !!

This was an amazing video! Probably my favourite you’ve made so far!

Incredibly played and documented. Great video man.

Thank you soo much for making these videos they always make my happy whenever I watch them

This video is practically a cinematic masterpiece. Love your vids man.

im so glad I watched this live, such a fun fight

The 2 man sloop just sneaking the loot is amazing, what a video!

Now that is how SoT should be. Friendships. Enemies. And a dang good story to tell

This was such a good episode!

That was a great vid cliff. Have been loving you content

What an outstanding action packed episode with a commendation cherry on top. Well done

To be honest, this is one of the best videos you have ever made. You are great and I can only hope there will be more videos coming next year. Happy new year everyone

i love how the sessions on this game are never the same thing EVER

That was a true epic glorious way to end the Year congrats Cliff on the epic tales and achievements

omg i love this story cliff! this is my dream session it was amazing to watch this

I had a similar experience a few weeks ago, though not to this extent. I was solo-slooping, trying to grind Treasuries for Hunter's Call standing, when I saw a Reaper 4 being chased by a Reaper 2 and a PVP mark ship. I decide to go see what is going on, maybe create some chaos, and when I get there I see an additional brig. Four sloops and a brig total, in what was essentially an open-sea free for all in one square. The Reaper 4 ran away, and everyone else except the Reaper 2 sank. I went back to see what might have been left, only to find the other two sloops sitting in conversation. We decided to hunt down the Reaper 4 together for their cowardice, and then Rare crashed my game ;-;

Glad to see after all of that, you got your sails. Great episode as always

Love this man I got this game when it first came out played it for awhile but dropped it seeing it now I can’t wait to get started
