If you'll follow the cupboard, you'll see that Stan actually drowned. Cupboard starts sinking and disappear in the ocean. This is so cruel, why Rare making us to do such things, like stealing Pendragon's watch from Olivia or that?
Make sure you're not wearing your skeleton curse... There's no vanity chest at the circus tent, so you can't put on the costume, which means walking ALL the way back to your ship... Fortunately some of the invisible barriers are gone so you can at least cannon yourself back over to the circus tent in one shot after you change.
FYI When pushing Stan into the ocean follow through with it all the way, if you push it and then knock on the door of the cabinet it WILL soft lock that accomidation and you'll have to do the begininng again to get back there, dont follow in my footsteps, just push the guy into the ocean, dont bother knocking again to see if there's any funny comments.
I think the trial of the sword part is way too hard and drawn out.......2nd day and Im already hating this TT... GJ Rare -_- Better nerf this so people can actually enjoy the TT, instead of them rage-quitting over spending way too long time on insult/retort game...
I got to the part at 21:46 and got a bug where i would walk up to Stan and nothing would happen. Couldn't interact with him either. I tried leaving the area and coming back, and even drowning myself didn't fix it
Happy to help! You'll need to clear the fog again and then work on just the Trial of Thievery. Do the first part of Stan so then you can help Meathook catch The Beast. Good luck!
Is that what is tripping some pirates up? When do you get that option? If you try to interact with it from the front after you lock him in? We've only ever tried interacting from the side right away.
i know im really late, but the game wont let me present my sword at captain smirks house i left on my first try in the house but now i cant get back in, i left because i hadnt met the ghost pirate yet, i couldnt give responses, he would only tell me to block with my sword for infinity and he locked the door behind me. can i please get an answer?
Hello, quick question, in the trial of sword do u have to go to every single place marked in where to find fighta, ur can i just stay where murray is? Ty for these guides btw
Fun tall tale for sure. Loved this one other than the insult and retort part which my group wasn't too thrilled about. Best part was the time trial. Broke the 18 second mark !
In my case, Meathook just have 3 options, is there something that i have to triggere before? I replay my Tall tales cuz I forgot to tickle the Beast, and I open up his door before first checkpoint :(
I had finished the tall tale to the defeating ribbsy part and thought ill complete the rest tomorrow, now when i resume the tall tale, after bob and lechuck speak their lines, my ship gets teleported to the monkey island area as usual, but my screen is completely greyish. I can hear my ship and the music but can't see anything. I couldnt find anything online so im just gonna leave this comment here
whenever i go to the sign to the log that moves up so i can fight ribsy, there’s no interaction button and i have the commendation for all of the insults and the other things. any idea why?
I was only able to push him once. After that the prompt doesn’t show up. Also, there is a prompt after the first shove knocking on the doors. I don’t know if this is why I couldn’t push him into the water or not. 😅
The 0.01 percent that has the painting of guybrush, cherish this moment for its going to fade away and when you have it on your ship in about a month your going to be looked at as a tall tale lover
I'm already a "tall tale lover" not enough to hang the paintings in the little space I have in my sloop but, the idol and action figures are welcome additions
Yo im so stupid i just dont know what to do im stuck on the sword trial or how its called cuz i only won 1 fight from 8 and i dont have 10 of the talks i need what should i do?😂
DO NOT attempt to push stan into the water while his dialogue is still going on. I did it, the tall tale bugged out and I didnt get the commandation.i tried restarting with the checkpoint but now the thing and stan are not there at all. guess i have to start all over again
i cant even speak with Stan, he is just looking at me, but i've already done the other 2 quest and I even restarted the game and sat down on that barrel and ive aleady picked up the book next to him. What should I do? Start the whole thing over?
completed everything up until you have to return to Corina for the potion. She only asks if I have any news... finally gave up and left. Now it says I have no checkpoints... I was basically done. :(
If you forget which one to use, you can check out the description or this article here: rarethief.com/sea-of-thieves-insult-sword-fighting-insults-and-retorts/
You learn insults and retorts via fighting. It's okay if you lose, you're still learning more quips. When using an Insult, most likely they'll have a good retort. It's better to treat it more like a puzzle than a fight.
Doing the Trial of the Sword. When I was doing the insults, my game crashed. Came back and i cannot get the lanterns to trigger. I cannot get the last insult. Am I missing something?
You probably need to do the Insult Sword Fighting tutorial again. There’s no Checkpoint after the tutorial. Once you meet with Captain Smirk again, you can trigger the lanterns.
When me and my cousin finished the quest we went back home and we didn’t get a reward. Do we have to go to a specific place to claim it or? We were confused and we turned the game off
If you see a notification saying you learned an Insult, you won't know the Retort just yet so it's okay if you get it wrong. If you have learned the Retort, you can reference the description in this video or this article to find the matching Insult/Retort pair: rarethief.com/sea-of-thieves-insult-sword-fighting-insults-and-retorts/ If you make an Insult and lose that is okay because you are learning the Retort. You need to learn them all to make progress :)
@@RareThiefmine is still stuck on the blocking stage. Both my crewmate and I did the blocking 2 times in a row and it’s still going back and forth. No dialogue.
@ Yeah I had to do the quest over from start three times for him to finally give the dialogue, I also came from cons vid lol but I’m using the rest of yours to finish the other tall tales when I’m able (I’m doing sunken pearl now at 3am the grind doesn’t stop when you have your spark relit)
@@RareThief yes i read all for signs and spoke to him, its no longer an option to ask about the ships so its confirmed ive done it. I had to start the tall tale again... just doesnt move past that option so i couldn't speak to meathead. Great guide as always though 👍4
@@RareThief it's frustrating that you have to follow a guide on your first playthrough if you want all the commendations in one run, rather than being able to wait until just before the end and back tracking, especially since I have on more than 1 occasion been kicked off for inactivity for looking at a guide (why is that a thing on these single-player-friendly tall tales anyway?)
@@lazychaos2707 had to play through it again with a friend anyways. I’ll keep that in mind though if the game bugs and the portal is not there for whatever reason.
Make sure you have the cannon aligned before you start your run. Also, you can save a lot of time between the third bell and the cannon. Try to interact with the zipline from further away than you think you can. You should be able to skip a whole platform by grabbing onto the zipline sooner.
one nice thing about these tall tales - you don't have a random player ship firing at your ship during the middle of the tall tale
It is nice that we get to be secluded in our own little world for these Tall Tales. It helps become so much more immersed in them!
true
Remember when tall tales didnt have checkpoints? Jesus that was rough
Fortunately we now have safer seas :)
@@Captain_greybeardobviously less rewards but it’s soo chill tbh my pc plays everything on mythic settings at almost 200fps on 1440p res it’s 🔥

Quick shortcut to the top of look out point is going up part way and jump off the side. It'll teleport you to the top
Thanks for the punctual guide I always look forward to 😁 I forgot to pet the animal how can I get the commendation? do tall tales all over again?
Happy to help! You'll need to clear the fog again and then work on just the Trial of Thievery. Do the first part of Stan so then you can help Meathook catch The Beast. Good luck!
What's so funny is I think Stan stealed the black pearl from Jack Sparrow.
Looks like he will be coming back for his ship.
TY
You’re welcome! Happy sailing!
For the stantastic voyage DO NOT KNOCK this will make it not possible to push him off the ledge.
Is that what is tripping some pirates up? When do you get that option? If you try to interact with it from the front after you lock him in? We've only ever tried interacting from the side right away.
i knocked and it worked still
Yeah I knocked as I was moving him and now there is no prompt to push him over the edge. He’s sat right there and I can’t tip him over
so what do i do i cant push him off
@@sploofsoloof do the tall tale all over
23:47 when you go up to meathook i cant get the 4 option when you speek to him :(
Did you choose the fourth dialogue option with Stan twice? You need Stan to tell you that Meathook owns the ship.
@@RareThief i am a f..g idiot, thank you
i know im really late, but the game wont let me present my sword at captain smirks house i left on my first try in the house but now i cant get back in, i left because i hadnt met the ghost pirate yet, i couldnt give responses, he would only tell me to block with my sword for infinity and he locked the door behind me. can i please get an answer?
i found out its because it saved at the start of the circus...
Thx a lot bro
No problem!
Make sure to sit on the 9th memoir spot in the sword dudes hut before leaving it, the door locks after and i could not get it.
Anybody find it funny how they charged people for the chef and circus outfit with the mighty cutlas now we can earn them lol
Hello, quick question, in the trial of sword do u have to go to every single place marked in where to find fighta, ur can i just stay where murray is? Ty for these guides btw
You can stay in one spot and wait for the cooldown if you want. The cooldown is about 5 minutes.

Ngl the fettuccine twins look like mario and luigi

Mr Stan the salesman doesn't want to speak to me so I had to restart
Oh that’s weird. When? The first time or after Meathook?
@@RareThief I spoke to meathook then I went back to speak back to Stan and the option to speak didn't come up
Meathook I can’t ask him the 4th option it ain’t there 😂😂
Did you ask Stan who owns the Headless Monkey? You need to ask Stan two questions back to back after you talk to him about the four ships.
Nice job explaining that you had to use every retort and insult for a commendation real helpful 🤣🤣🤣🤦🏼♂️
You should unlock it by default. It’s impossible to continue the Tall Tale without using every one. Did it not unlock for you by the end of the Trial?
The sword fighting is THE DUMBEST EVER thing they've done
It's more of a puzzle than a fight, which is in line with the Monkey Island series.
whenever i go to the sign to the log that moves up so i can fight ribsy, there’s no interaction button and i have the commendation for all of the insults and the other things. any idea why?
i cant pick up the idol but it is there in the opened safe
Hmm…that’s really weird. Maybe try dying and then trying to pick it up again?
For the Spectacular Superstar commendation, do i have to beat it within 25 seconds in the first try?
No, you can try as many times as you want.
Thanks!
No problem!
is that first accommodation not a thing anymore???
I like how it broke so I can’t push stan
So you got him to step inside and then locked him in? You don’t see a prompt on the side of the cupboard?
@@RareThief no it won’t appear
I was only able to push him once. After that the prompt doesn’t show up. Also, there is a prompt after the first shove knocking on the doors. I don’t know if this is why I couldn’t push him into the water or not. 😅
do you get to keep all insults and retorts you have learned? :P

Would I be able to just go to where the treasure huntery statue is if I already know it? Or do I have to go through all that again?
You can use a Checkpoint so you don't have to do it again. Have you used those before?
@@RareThief I meant on repeat playthroughs. If I go straight to the statue after clearing the fog, will I be able to dig it up?

@@RareThief in the bay yes, but he just lookin me. My internet went off 1 time, it can be the problem maybe and it bugged him or idk

The Murray and the fighting thing is so stupid like how am I supposed to know which insult to use… comebacks I get insults not at all
If you forget which one to use, you can check out the description or this article here: rarethief.com/sea-of-thieves-insult-sword-fighting-insults-and-retorts/
I just chose random insults
You learn insults and retorts via fighting. It's okay if you lose, you're still learning more quips. When using an Insult, most likely they'll have a good retort.
It's better to treat it more like a puzzle than a fight.
When i knock on thats guys door he just shut the door on me and they is no option to give the sword to him
Did you do the circus to get 404 Pieces o’ Eight yet?
How do you get to the path to the circus you just cut from stans to that spot
From Stan's, go North back across the bridge and walk along the path a bit. The circus will be on your right to the East.
I am stuck on the meat hook there is no fourth option to talk to him about the monkey head
Did you already do everything with Stan?
I did everything and got all the quest, even “The Quest for Guy Brush” commendation but didnt get the costume? Whys that
Recently? The costume was added after the Tall Tale initially came out. It doesn’t unlock retroactively.
@@RareThief so I have to do the tale all over again? With the commendations also?
No, just complete it again. No need to 100%.

Do you have the 404 Pieces o’ Eight from the Circus?

That's odd. You should automatically unlock it when you travel back through the portal.
@@RareThief do you mind telling me what was your reward?
I died and the game bugged, i couldnt move or do anything, even press to leave the game was unabled.
I seem to always get the insult wrong against the ghosts. I don't know why. Can you perhaps give me some tips?

@ Yeah I had to do the quest over from start three times for him to finally give the dialogue, I also came from cons vid lol but I’m using the rest of yours to finish the other tall tales when I’m able (I’m doing sunken pearl now at 3am the grind doesn’t stop when you have your spark relit)

When I talk to Meathook, I don't show me the fourth option
Did you talk to Stan twice?
when o go talk with meathook its just show me 3 thing to talk with him about not 4 can somebody help i did every thing i dont know
You asked Stan about the cheapest options AND who owns The Headless Monkey? You need to ask choose two different dialogue options back to back.
I dont know what is wrong but i cant push stan into the water, is there something specific i need to do after locking him in?
Hmm…once you lock him in you should be able to interact with the side after he realizes he’s locked in.
