Every time my captain ship takes damage, I simply delete it and purchase a new one 👍

The shrouded ghost only spawns if Rare deems you worthy and pushes the big red "SHROUDED GHOST" button whilst they watch you

11:52 "Don't overextend yourself trying to catch this particular Meg." This is terrible advice. Everybody knows that the true way to get the Shrouded Ghost to spawn is to embark on a clearly doomed voyage that will deplete your fortune, drive you insane, and eventually kill you. You literally just have to lose your mind (and a leg) and go completely wacko with your lust for revenge. IT WORKED FOR AHAB, IT CAN WORK FOR ME

Myth: if you just sail away from the spire before taking out the mermaid statues during the final Pirates Life Tall Tale you’ll have a permanent Jack Sparrow on your cannons who has perfect aim

It's not a myth, it's a reality: Telling your friend to log in to play to get a quick achievement, a 20 minute adventure. From the moment those words were mentioned you have just condemned that expedition to the most cursed and chaotic of your entire life. On that journey alone you will manage to find a valuable treasure that you will want to sell only to be followed by constant megalodors, pirate ships, the event of the fleet of leaving by surprise in the place you were sailing, a obligatory visit of the kraken and of course the sweatiest of the streamers connecting on your server to record troll videos for his youtube channel.

The Shrouded Ghost, in terms of myth and player stories, feels very much like one of those actual tall tales: a yarn that sailors young and old would enjoy spinning during the historical Age of Exploration. The thing about the Shrouded Ghost is that, in actuality, she ain't no tall tale. You can fight her. Most pirates don't get to see her with their own eyes, even after thousands of hours of playtime. But, you can fight her. Damn, that's awesome!

I've never heard of that "reaper charge" thing but now I want it in the game, that's such a cool idea to fend people off and increase its value. Also, FINALLY someone else confirms that the Athena keg is identical to the Stronghold one, SO MANY people think the Athena one is better. They are literally re-skins, they even have the same sell value! The only difference is the faction they go to.

My favorite myth is that there is a "secret tavern" underneath all the outposts, thats just outrageous!

A common one is that you have to sell all the crates full, but the fireworks crate and bait crate sell for the same amount EMPTY! So you can keep the loot if your into fishing and fireworks.

Here's a few myths. Chest of Rage: You can put this on a barrel in the lowest deck, have a little bit of water in the lower deck, and it won't set anything on the ship on fire. But will set the player on fire. Also the fire would release any harpoon if they're shot out and attached to something else. Cursed cannonballs are guaranteed on cannon rowboats found in random locations. Spamming Block and ringing the ships bell will give a good sound effect that amplifies everything around the player.

How To Get A Fake Shrouded Ghost: Go Into The Fog And Get A Shadowmaw Seriously It Looks Just Like A Shrouded Ghost But With Pupils

You are right, the shrouded ghost isnt a myth. Its a Lie.

We told a new crew that they need to play call of the meg for half hour straight while burning shark meat on the fryer to call in a meg. The bastards did it, a meg spawned and they said "we will definitely do this every time" and i just.. i couldnt believe it 😂

I remember I was told by another crew that jumping with loot makes the value less. I still don't know if this is true?

I'm really glad you're making videos again! I've been getting back into the game after a lengthy break, thanks to the introduction of crossplay with PS5. I've got a swabbie friend of my own I'm helping to become a Pirate Legend and, though this experience has been making my age as a pirate more and more apparent (ow, my poor back), I've never been happier playing Sea of Thieves! I'm going to make a point of recommending your channel to my friend, because I think your newest videos have been really informative, and great for a new pirate. Cheers, Bardcore!

Well i was wondering what had happened to you. Glad i found you again, and glad to see you having such passion with these videos!

7:07 this was so funny to me. Just the burning ship in the background with your character was hilarious

I admit, I was using the shipwright all the time because I thought it made a difference...

I spawned into SoT for the first time in two years two days ago. Coming up on an outpost I had the Shrouded Ghost spawn on me, and then immediately despawn because I was sailing toward the Outpost and got too close. This is the only time I've ever seen it.
