"Wait... that's not a skeleton ship." "No, it's my ship."

Did not know about harpoon locking... nice.

Hold Q while you're on the cannon, and a radial menu pops up allowing you to pick normal cannonballs or any of the cursed cannonballs you're carrying on you.

God, those chainshots. I would NOT want to ever fight you in game, you are so good at this lol

The tragedy of uploading on reddit is you don't get the views on youtube. This should have thousands of views if not more

I love that the shark decided to attack their ship when you were already jacking them up lol

2:22 last week me and a friend went duo sloop and encountered a galleon; we landed a few shot really low so they were busy while we were punching holes through their mid deck and shortly afterwards sinking them with a ballast ball. It was insane how fast it went down.

the key thing i learned from this video was i didnt know you could LOCK the harpoon by pressing x

Set roles between your crew mates and you’re already better than 50% of the “sweats”

This is a very high quality video with nothing but good information. Even for veteran players, there are some very useful tips here.

3:18 I'd add that fireballs are perfect to deny control of the anchor and the steering wheel + a lot of monitinors have a crosshair feature which makes aiming cannons and harpoons so much easier

That last tip is really valuable to master, it can depend on speed, angle etc, especially for a galleon crew. If one is on the harpoon, and the rest on the cannon ball, I have many times gotten them to sink through cannonfire alone. It is actually glorious if you can catch them in what I call a vortex. It is hard to describe, but as you (a galleon) passes the enemy (Galleon), harpooning their front side and locking will put both ships in a Pirates of the caribean 3 whirlpool of a vortex. The enemy usually does not expect this, and so aiming at the cannons first is always recommended and then hail fire on lower decks. You will be putting enough holes for the water to fill faster than they can handle. So yeah, mastering the meneuvers of the harpooning of other ships is super good.

Thank God I found these videos. I'm so sick of rando gallys ruining hours of work because I'm not good at pvp. Time to become a pirate pvp sweat lord

This was probably the best combat guide I’ve ever seen for this game. Very well done!

Dammn this guy is a monster, those shots

changing the canon reload button to tap R Not hold R helps a lot! means you can can free up that finger to aim your next canon shot

"wait that's not a skeleton ship" -famous last words

as a newer player to the SOT, this was very helpful. Thanks for sharing your tips.

Yo cheers on your voice over work. Most of the video game youtube channels out there have terrible diction and cadence and it's insanely fatiguing to listen to. You do a great job, keep it up!

this is the most straightforward tutorial Ive ever seen. Thanks a lot I will definetly come back to this video time to time

thanks for these! i just started solo slooping and these have been extremely helpful! Thank you! would love to see more of PVP tips as i struggle a lot with almost any PVP game.

Jumping ship perfectly after igniting their crows nest keg was a king move 👌👌👌 great vid

Fantastic video mate, nice to see the small Sea of Thieves channels knocking out stellar content!

Dude great guide full of usefull tips. I suscribed yesterday and I just want to say I'm very happy to see that in only 24 hours you got around a hundred subscribers. Im glad that the community acknowledge good content creators like you.

Beebs! I didn’t know you had a KZfaq channel! Love your streams, man.

Dude. That harpoon trick is something I need to try. Thanks again!

F in the comments for the fresh spawners he sunk during the making of this...

Great video, I’ve been playing this game on and off since launch but I had no idea about that harpoon locking or taking down enemy sails with a chain shot from their own cannons

Just got the game on gamepass and your vids made me leagues better than friends who are just getting their sea legs too. Great stuff man

Since I began arena on school nights (I save adventure mode for the weekend) my cannon aim has been on point. Super entertaining, thanks!

This is the best hint and tips for SoT I've seen so far....cheers

7:00 that getaway was CLEAN

This guys videos are so addicting- automatic sub.

really good video your channel has grown so much congrats

The clip at 7:00 is BRILLIANT, awesome video thank you for all the tips!!!

1:36 I already did this, but it's nice that it's in a tips video so I feel like I'm on the right track to fine tuning my pvp game on the seas.

Got recommended this. Very useful info for starting my pvp escapades

thank you so much. i had 0 idea i could lock the harpoon. this and the other tips will help a gr8 deal. im only on day 4 so thank you so much!

That’s what that sound is when I press x🤯. You just blew my mind yo. Thx

I've been playing almost every day since the game was newly released. I learned 3 valuable tricks from this video.

The last one was great, makes harpoons very useful

Mate your videos are awesome - brilliant tutorials.

Just started playing and this video had a lot of great info.

Truly excellent vid, both informative and hilarious!...”No that’s my ship, OK GOTTA GOooo!” 😂🤣

Love this thank you for the help keep it up and one day you will blow up man

Kegs are high risk high reward options. They saved us many times because we stacked them up and had multiply tries to sneak on board while being chased across the sea. Storing them on your crowsnest isnt so damaging either, sure your mast falls down but you can repair and there is only some fire on the deck. BUT if someone knows what they are doing and board you they can use the kegs against you, so kegs are more a tool for a surprise attack or a last effort option when the enemy has outnumbered you but i would never say, dont use them ever.

mate, your videos are absolute quality

I saw the keybind for harpoon locking in the settings but always thought it was a toggle, thanks for that information haha

Your chainshots are cracked my guy 😂🔥

Very informative and very well done

I’m so happy I bought this game yesterday I’m so pumped to play it looks amazing. A lot to learn tho I’m guna suck for a while especially since I’m a solo

really good video, thanks for the tips

Thanks for the advice!

finally a tip video that shows tips that i haven't known since i started playing

Still think they should change how the respawns work, it's such a frustrating gameplay element

That harpoon thing was really helpful because I didn’t notice a big rock in the way so they crashed into the rock

I know lots of combat tactics already but I did not know about harpoon locking, Thanks

Thanks a lot for the tips, trying to get better and feel more confident in pvp situations instead of being so passive

I recently got to try harpoon locking and you were damn right. Sunk five ships in less than an hour using it.

Man... I'm a pioneer sea of thieves player... Been playing for so long. And u are the first I see making a short video about what so important to do and not to do. You did a great job here. It help player base to understand sea of thieves is a over cooked type game after all. Every action who can make u save even just a second can make a huge difference. My big issue is my aim. I even train every day kovaaks for fix that. I even down my sensitivity to 36cm/360. But still I miss some shoots. I have a trouble anticipating the latency and the velocity of the gun shoot. (To make it harder hitreg are off) Also as I'm a father since 2 years I have lost a lot of playable time, rebuking me to do friend on discord. (Also because I'm in a so small house I cant talk because I would wake up my kid) I have noticed than even I train in arena regularly. The fact to don't be friend to anyone have gives me a disavantage about knowledge and pvp tips. (The double gun glitch combo, the fast reload by switching or empty hand and detain the gun again like thee digging)... This kind of glitches. And not having a discord make it hard to plan good none toxic tdm. Where every body just assume it's skills to chose double gun and force other player to double gun as well even if they more talented about sword. ( Who also need skill as well) example your dodge out ladder are a stupid usefull tip I should have figure out by myself with my knowledge. But I never thought about it and your video told me it thanks. If you can give some advanced tip video about double gun, tdm, what ever tip I might not know as many not regular players, I would appreciate ! :) Great job in this video u really deserve subscriptions to your chanel! Gg

Also, if you hold block with a cutlass while grabbing the ladder of an enemy ship it will mute the splash sound it makes

Sick video man. You should do a video on badass harpoon turn mechanics or like cannoning to forts to use their cannons on enemies. I'd watch it.

you seem quite competent :) thx for the advise, I'm just about to start in the game

I have a tip 1: yell get out of the building 2: carry a mega keg into a building or ship 3: kaboom

awesome thx ^^ im just new to the game and i love it ... thx for the useful tips : )

Another thing is that (especially in arena where you only have a few chainshots) is that if you’re trying to knock the mast down (especially on sloops where there’s only 1) aim for the crows nest

Harpoon lock method looks really good, have to use that sometime.

Amazing tips!

Very good Tutorial.

I love your ship. Also thx those Tips are great!

great vids. ty for the knowledge.,

Best tips I’ve ever heard

Time to use all these tips to properly defend myself from vultures! thanks you for this

REALLY HELPFUL

Found you thru PhuzzyBond. Thx for the great advice!

Downloading the game now, so naturally this is the video for me

Used that sword dash trick versus a duo sloop was very handy

Yo great video my dad said that he and his friend 1v4 you and that you said it was the greatest fight that you’ve had since the alpha

actually helped thx!

This man is sooooo helpful

Thanks for the info

Absolutely a monster out there

Nice video!

Fire bombs could be useful for applying pressure tho, becuase they create sort of no-go zones for the enemy players and could force them to backsplash or pause bailing to extinguish the fire.

Awesome video

Kegs are good if you're looking to surprise the enemy. They can be very risky but if you manage to get a hit with one on their hull it can be brutal

Good tips: 1. Use a brigantine. It's the best. 2. Raise the front sail in naval combat. This allows the helmsman (driver) to control the ship using the back sail only and without help, allowing your team to stay on cannons. 3. If your steering and the cannons are occupied, snipe the opposing cannon shooter. 4. If aboard the enemy's ship, before it sinks, use their armory to switch to sniper and pistol. This is best in the water for fighting any back spawns.

Awesome thanks very much!!

If you want to calculate the shot when shooting your self to learn the arc of shooting yourself use a chainshot they are roughly the same weight so pretty much identical arc .thats how i practiced in the early days .

I like to shoot a fire flask at the cannons and attempting to board, it gives a few seconds unless they are already taking on water. edit:this taking on water thing does not apply to a galleon with water in its bottom deck.

Hi, thanks for the great video! I was just wondering, what's the benefit of using blunderbombs instead of regular cannonballs?

Only kegs you should have on your crows nest are mega kegs and athena kegs, with selling them being top priority. Learned the hard way.

Thanks these tips will rly help me! Btw what sword are you using?

Another good tool for getting players off your ship (especially in the crows nest) is the blunderbomb. My friend went up there and threw one, and nocked the guy right off and we were able to escape!

The X to lock the harpoon in place ties to the default stow weapon keybind? So if i changed it i should use the button a changed it to?

Something I do with firebombs is when I mean to board I will stock up, and once on drop and fire their anchor, and since they have holes already and fire is now everywhere they aren’t thinking rationally to go out out the capstain their just running

Great video. I'm astounded at how accurate your chainshots are - they're something I still can't get nailed down at anything except really close range.

I just started and on my second mission, a gallion destroyed my poor sloop. So I was stranded on the island. I was lucky enough to have a friendly sailor come around and teach me some stuff.

Self chain shotting the boat is genius👌

Thx for the tips m8
