I once was playing with my friend on a sloop (we were pretty new to the game then) and we were chased by a brig. They were very good, hitting every chainshot and almost sinking us multiple times, our only escape having been going against the wind. When we reached the red sea we had to turn around, which brought them very close to us. When one of them held a keg, ready to board us, I shot the keg with a cannon and all of them died. After I came back from repairing my ship, I saw nothing but free loot and a reaper 5 flag. Good moment.
If I hadn’t found your channel on my recommended page I would be questioning every person boarding my ship with a keg and wondering what they were doing and finding out the hard way.
The way you format these videos is incredible I’ve got to say! The storytelling element of this game is always fun but hearing you tell your tales always makes me want to jump back in and make some more of my own!
this happened to me as well. i assume it happened because it was the only event left in the server and we were probably the only crew left as well. I guess this isnt as uncommon as i thought when it happened to me
So, the server merged.... Seems like the servers would shutdown and then be merged. I am guessing that is automatic.... Don't play the game, but I do find it entertaining to watch others play it. I am not good with pvp.
I have used a stronghold keg on a galleon before. I was solo and I remember that they were really good at PvP so I tried to play it as smart as I could so I used the Mega Keg from the fort I had just completed. They didn't stand a chance even though they were better at PvP. Great video.
I have good story, me and my friend were on a fort with no cannonballs left, we got sunk by a sloop but both of us survived and had stronghold kegs in hands, we thought that one keg would be enough to sink them, so we gone to their ship from different places, my friend blew the sloop up with the two guys, after about 30 seconds i arrived and blew their ship again, killing both of them again, and they didnt sink, after we respawned we got back and followed them, they were super bad, couldnt hit either of us from a gun, and and hit our ship around 30% of the shots, we followed them from the fort, with my friend killing both of them, anchorint them, and we shot about 30 cannonballs, not only did they not sink, they also raised the anchor and fled, while being under constant cannonball barrage, they went out of the map, to the red sea, we followed them, they were still infront of us when we sank, needless to say, after we respawned and on our wqy to the fort, in nearby outpost was still their ship with a grade 5 gold hoarder flag
i had an instance where me and a reaper ship traded stronghold kegs (by trade i mean kill each other) we at the same time snuck on each others ships and blew up the ships i didn't have any loot on me because i was part of an alliance and decided to carry the explosives on my ship while the allies would carry the loot on theirs
I love how you described solo players at the start. I am by no means an amazing Sea Of Thieves player, but I usually play solo cause my friends are never on when I am. This has effectively forced me to be a jack of all trades, but made me particularly adept at maneuvering.
He has Overwatch stories too if you really enjoy his style of story telling. There is a little content drought (for stories, OW2 has all the attention for now.)for the channel, but there are hours of backlogged stories, and he has them edited into "super cuts" for binge-watching. Cliff Terios is the channel name.
I'm sure someone else told you by now, but in case you're still curious-- Looks like they probably had a server merge right as they cleared the world event, which automatically opened the FoF vault at kracken's watchtower, while still leaving the key in play. Then they may have dropped the key in the leadup to the pirate legend hideout on galleon's grave, or perhaps dropped it off the mast of the top ship, into a place where it could not be seen or retrieved... who knows!? Anyways, good storytelling, my dude! :3 I found myself interested the whole way through because of your presentation, even though I got bored when this same exact situation happened to me one day. XD Your name is well-picked. Edit: Subscribed :)
This is by far my fav SOT channel! so many good, and entertaining guides! I also love that your channel is clean to watch and feels super chill yet keeps me on the edge of my seat anticipating his next boarding attempt. Keep up the awesome work Cliff!
I stole my first Athena chest from a FOF today as a solo slooper and the adrenaline I felt was parallel to none, I stole it from a toxic group who deserved to have some pay back dealt to them and having no backup and still coming out on top was so satisfying. The feeling brought me back to this video and what your experiences were like solo slooping. I enjoy your content and you inspire me to keep attempting to climb higher in my sot journey.
Man, I have not played SoT in awhile but watching these videos makes me want to go back. I just detest some of the toxic behavior people have in the game. Kill them with ranged weapon? get called a slur for using whatever you killed them with. Kill them with melee? get called a melee noob. kill them with cannons/prevent them from boarding? get called a ladder camper. it seems people just don't like dying, and the minute they do 99% of the time they become toxic as hell.
I've seen many sot videos and guess I know that it's hard to make them entertaining. But your videos sir are entertaining in every single second! Not too long, not too short, no boring loops and your style telling the story is awesome. Keep going mate! Looking forward for more.
I have to say, this is very accurate. I've pretty much been solo since 2019 when I started the game. None of my friends actually wanted the game. So it was just me. Only recently I've been able to play with other people. Anyways, yeah I've come across a lot of people who have clearly underestimated me lol. I wouldn't say I'm amazing at the game, but still. Good video! Really enjoy these
i literally just took down a galleon crew as a solo sloop because they wasted their resources and cannonballs on missing me, they also tried boarding me WAY too much and forgot that their ship needed to be fixed. Oh also my playtime was 20 hours at the time
I'm a primarily solo slooper. The amount of times I've led a brig on a 3 hour chase with nothing on board just for the fun of it and to let the 3 other boats on server do something has been quite numerous.
I like to keep the final chapter of shores of gold on me so I can lead them into the Red Sea and anchor/chain shot them as soon as they get in. Lots of cocky players have been humbled using this method lol
You and me both. One time I ended it by kegging my ship while waving at them. They didn't know I sold all my loot before leading them on that snipe hunt... Funny enough, and I remember this, I accidentally loaded up one of those useless silver cups that I never bothered to sell (literally not worth the walk to offload it) so I unintentionally left them a single second place trophy to loot from the wreckage on that one. I slept good that night.
As much as I am a hardened solo slooper and as much as i enjoy tearing apart overconfident crews its just not the same without a crew of my own. Found your channel a while back and i must say i really enjoy the content, hope you go far :)
As a solo slooper I agree with the title. I am a force to be reckoned with. If I try to be friendly with someone else and then they stab me in the back with a cannon shot that they miss I grab 10 cannon balls and hit at least 8 right back into their ship
Hey cliff! Thanks for the heart on your last video, it meant a lot to me, thanks for pumping out all this content, you've made me get back into sea of thieves again!
Hey i found ur channel like 4 days ago, and i wanted to say. I LOVE UR CONTENT :). I myself play sea of thieves for over 4 years now, but didnt watch it. But u bring it so good to the viewer :) KEEP IT UP!
when I was playing a lot before my baby was born. I had a duo sloop try and take my single sloop out. I was engaged in battle until 40 mins when I ran out of supply. they messaged me saying I have scared them and had super close moments of sinking them lol
I am so happy that I found this channel when I saw it the first time I watched all the videos and now when I'm bored I watch them again but I'm very happy that u posted a new video :)
You just never know what you're going to get into on the seas. Rare really have created a special game. I get so lost in this game and I mean that in a good way. Hours seem to pass like minutes. Despite its cartoony art style I still get completely immersed. Every time I log in it's a completely different adventure from the last.
How do you get the Barrel Hiding emote? Like the one you're using at 3:36 I've tried looking around in-game but can't seem to find it anywhere in the Emporium or at faction merchants.
Nice one! For the key I think it was either in one of the huts, the entrance to athenas fortune, or the cliff leaning against the galleon. Definitely hidden by their good player
Aye, never underestimate a solo Slooper. My favorite moment in SoT was soloing a Skull Fort, about 70% of the way through soloing it. A 4 man Galleon showed up. I had to retreat to my sloop, and decided to park it behind 2 giant pillars far away from the Island and cannon myself over to the island (Including a solid 3-5 min swim distance afterwards. So my sloop was well away from the island and view) By the time I'd finished that, the guys were just clearing up the fort, and were killing the last wave. I sniped the guy who killed the last boss. Took the key and bolted away, hiding the key in a bush while I was out of view then kept bolting while holding a compass in my hand making It look like I still had the key. After outrunning them, I grabbed a Keg and swam it underneath their boat. Then camped out on the stair on the side of the galleon facing away from the island. Once I heard them board their ship, I quickly went downstairs and disposed of them. And proceeded to do so until the ship sank. By this time the second Galleon had arrived at the Island. So I quickly hid myself on the top of the tower on the island and waited to see what they' do. I then noticed they were looking all over for the key, since It had to be around as they could only see the first galleon. And that It had sunk mysteriously. My sloop parked behind 2 pillars of stone so far away they were barely within view distance. So they had no clue there was a sloop player around. I managed to sneakily get back to the bush on the island and grab my Key. And swam it into the bottom of the Ocean, Took a screenshot of where I was, then proceeded to place it on the bottom of the Ocean in that random place. No landmarks, just the knowledge you had to sail into NW for about 20 seconds then dive down. No one would ever find it. I then ended up in a really fun 1v4 running around the island having fun with those guys, before sinking their ship once they had all been killed. At this point another sloop was showing up, and before long.... The first galleon. I had some fun 1v2's against the sloop then 1v2v4 once the galleon showed up. None of them knowing where my ship was, so It was always fun returning by shooting myself over the pillars then swimming all the way there. I eventually managed to get rid of all of them. But I knew It wasn't going to be easy to get the loot, since they were sure to return. I eventually went back to my boat, and went on to do some other things in the area while keeping an eye on the boats. They eventually left. So I returned, found my Key. And began loading my sloop... A lengthy proccess when done alone by a greedy pirate who won't leave a sliver of loot behind.... Especially as this was during the first 1-2 weeks of the game... Before any Harpoons existed to loot within minutes. Sure enough, I ended up getting engaged by both a galleon and a sloop, who returned and saw my sloop parked at the fort for good 15+ minutes. But, having access to all the remaining kegs on the island to myself, I was able to make yet another pro gamer move, sailing my sloop straight ahead with the wind in my back I dropped off with a Keg in hand and a Galleon infront of me. Dropped the keg, went onto the ladder, ship hits the keg. And once I hear repairing noises I once again make my move and go on to Anchor them. Then kill them all repeatedly until I finally died myself. I then got back onto my sloop as I respawned just in time to save it. As the other sloop had caught up to me, having stayed a bit back due to the galleon. I then had the most exciting chase I've ever had in SoT as I sailed away from this sloop, who had an exceptionally skilled helmsman I must say. The chase lasted close to an hour with me boarding him multiple times, and him boarding a few times. Amazing PvP, but... Alas. It all ended as I finally got him in my boarding, steered him into a reef then anchored him after he hit it. All the previous boarding stealing planks in each trip left him no choice but to give up the chase. Maybe he had planks on him, maybe not. But I mermaid'ed away and got my loot sold at last.
This reminds me of the time that I soloed a Fort of Fortune. The server merged, so I was left with the key and an open vault. I ended up looting the FoF and took the key with me. After looking up what I was supposed to do with it, I found out I could be tracked with it. I ended up leaving it at Dagger Tooth and high tailed it to Galleon's Grave to turn in all my loot.
I know this video is old and someone might've said it before me, but for someone interested I'll share my piece of knowledge. When two servers merge while just completing the Fort of Fortune, it resolves into the vault being unlocked once the servers merge and the key still in place where it was. That's what happened to me once, so I suppose it's the way it happened here unless there's another way (or they simply did the Fort of Fortune and never unlocked it, keeping the key for hours - I know this doesn't make any sense, but it's not impossible) AND one last way, to my knowledge it was POSSIBLE to store Stronghold/Fort of Fortune and Fort of the Damned keys inside the Sunken Merfolk Statues found in the Merfolk shrines and treasuries (But I know for a fact that is patched out now). In terms of hiding the key me and my friend had to come up with a hiding spot for our key since an alliance of a Galleon and a Brig were storming our way. We were on the Sailor's Knot outpost. To those who have no idea what this fort is famous for (in this case infamous) is the whole layout of the fort is so bad, it takes twice as long to even take the loot from the vault to your ship then from other forts. Galleon and Brig getting closer any second, my friend told me to pick up some of the kegs on our ship and the key with it and we'll head towards Plunder Outpost. I had no idea what he had in his mind, but we loaded 5 kegs on our ship alongside with the key to the Fort of Fortune and bolted towards Plunder Outpost. I jumped out with one keg towards the Galleon which was closer to us, had a succesfull board, setting off the keg and getting their anchor down. Right after my element of surprise has gone off, I was quickly dispatched and as I've respawned I immediately picked up another keg and went for the Brig. Sadly this one was unsuccessful, but the second try for the Brig board deemed successful and another anchor + keg blowing up took place. This bought us enough time, since my friend already docked in the Plunder Outpost and hid the key tellin' me "They won't find it even if they'll spend whole day here" And sailing away. I asked him where did he hide the key and he told me about two spots he was thinking about, one is in the entrance to the Athena's hideout, not many people will check there and they'll try and keep searching on land and the second spot is somewhere between rocks where it lands under the textures... this is much harder to performe if you don't know how things work if you drop them, with enough know-how and game knowledge you can prety much do that anywhere and he chose this one, since on Plunder Outpost, there's a place where 3 rocks meet and if you jump between those three rocks you'll get teleported to your ship via black screen, if you bind jump onto your mouse wheel and slide between the three rocks whilst scrolling your wheel, you'll instead jump once or twice before you'll get black screened and teleported. This little window gives you enough time to pick the key up and place it higher on the rocks making it possible to pick up without sliding between those 3 rocks. Similiar spot is on Hidden Spring Keep where you can place the key between a bush and a rock and it can only be picked up from a reeeeeally weird angle. If you would stand on the key or on the rock/bush you can't pick it up and it's fairly hidden (The rock and the bush hides the glint of it from a distance), but once they'd pin-point the location via a map it would be just a matter of time until they would figure out the spot from which you can pick it up. Well anyway, that's enough of mumbling and rambling, have a wonderful day! And see you on the sea! :)
@@CliffTheStoryGuy yeah, admittedly it would feel much nicer to have earned it than bought it... Speaking of earning cosmetics though, the emissary rank cosmetics - do they reset each month and you unlock the ability to use them per month?
@@QuantumVLOG The rewards stay there until you unlock them, just gonna take you longer to complete if they add new stuff and you haven't been doing your ledgers
Yep, I’ve made my mind up. This channel is too good. Okay, it’s not too good it’s really good, like very good. Love your channel keep up the good work.
If you complete a FOF and sail away and the server merges its possible that the OF is gone and another FOD is active. You can open that FOF with the key without completing. So you can clear the vault even while the fort is running. if you finish it after that you get another key.
Explanation: Sometimes you can get server merged WITH a key. Said key can open another servers Fort of Fortune if it spawns. If you complete that Fort of Fortune with an already opened Vault, you're left with a key that has no door, well, up to a point where you get spawned into another server, or another FoF opens up that fits the key. Good luck surviving until then.
So… I think I entered this server after you guys. I spawned on a server a few months ago with a key at Galleons Grave. We found it in the PL hideout entrance. Sailed to literally every fort on the map… all of the vaults were opened. It’s the craziest, most unexplained thing I’ve ever experienced in this game…
I completely agree, i play solo and im a new player. I have to constantly think of creative solutions to sink ships with more players. I,ve managed to sink two brigs so far and fended off a galleon. Still learning but hoping to join a crew someday.
I love playing solo 🔥🔥 i started as a solo and I've always continued that way. Its fun having a crew member with me, but its a different experience solo and much more rewarding
I think I may know why they had a key and why there was an already opened vault with loot: If a server merges right after you complete a fort, the vault will open on its own without you having to use the key (I suppose this is a workaround so you don't get left high and dry if you didn't pick up the key prior to the merge or something). That means you're left with the loot and an extra key to use on the next fort that appears (without having to kill the bosses I think).
the door is open because the door is normally open and when you server merge loot on nearby islands stay so therefore you have a key with the vault open
Sad that my friends cut out of this game quite early. We started playing together but it seems im the only one still sailing the sea of thieves. I love this game even though being a solo is an priority target
My initial guess is they opened up the pirate legend hideout brought the key down there and left it there only Legends could find it and it looks like it's on the island when it's really under it
I know exactly where the key was put. It was on the east side crag. Based on the map positioning and the icon, it's the only place it could have been. There's no cave in or under that crag, and the icon was too far back to be in or behind the tavern. So the only place it could have been was on the crag, which is pretty simple to get to if you know how, even while carrying a treasure.
So our galleon crew had this happen to us once (having a FOF key and the vault was opened already). We completed the FOF and then got server merged. All of the loot was in the vault but we still had the key aboard our ship. Fortunately the server we merged into had a FOF a few minutes later, so we cleared every skeleton besides one in the wave and we put our key in and loaded all of the loot and went to sell.
I once was playing with my friend on a sloop (we were pretty new to the game then) and we were chased by a brig. They were very good, hitting every chainshot and almost sinking us multiple times, our only escape having been going against the wind. When we reached the red sea we had to turn around, which brought them very close to us. When one of them held a keg, ready to board us, I shot the keg with a cannon and all of them died. After I came back from repairing my ship, I saw nothing but free loot and a reaper 5 flag. Good moment.
That's how they learned not to carry kegs when chasing somebody haha

This has happened to me as well, they server merged right after they completed a FoF. Thus the fort being open, thus the “extra” key.
Learning something new every day

this happened to me as well. i assume it happened because it was the only event left in the server and we were probably the only crew left as well. I guess this isnt as uncommon as i thought when it happened to me

Despite its cartoony art style I still get completely immersed. Every time I log in it's a completely different adventure from the last.
I hope your channel keeps growing and the content quality keeps up. I've been looking for a quality sea of thieves channel forever
Happy to provide!
How do you get the Barrel Hiding emote? Like the one you're using at 3:36
I've tried looking around in-game but can't seem to find it anywhere in the Emporium or at faction merchants.
yes a new vid
your story's are so entertaining
I started playing few weeks ago And saw your vids and they are so good keep up the work ;)
Nice one!
For the key I think it was either in one of the huts, the entrance to athenas fortune, or the cliff leaning against the galleon. Definitely hidden by their good player
Aye, never underestimate a solo Slooper.
My favorite moment in SoT was soloing a Skull Fort, about 70% of the way through soloing it.
A 4 man Galleon showed up.
I had to retreat to my sloop, and decided to park it behind 2 giant pillars far away from the Island and cannon myself over to the island (Including a solid 3-5 min swim distance afterwards. So my sloop was well away from the island and view)
By the time I'd finished that, the guys were just clearing up the fort, and were killing the last wave.
I sniped the guy who killed the last boss. Took the key and bolted away, hiding the key in a bush while I was out of view then kept bolting while holding a compass in my hand making It look like I still had the key.
After outrunning them, I grabbed a Keg and swam it underneath their boat.
Then camped out on the stair on the side of the galleon facing away from the island.
Once I heard them board their ship, I quickly went downstairs and disposed of them. And proceeded to do so until the ship sank.
By this time the second Galleon had arrived at the Island.
So I quickly hid myself on the top of the tower on the island and waited to see what they' do.
I then noticed they were looking all over for the key, since It had to be around as they could only see the first galleon. And that It had sunk mysteriously.
My sloop parked behind 2 pillars of stone so far away they were barely within view distance.
So they had no clue there was a sloop player around.
I managed to sneakily get back to the bush on the island and grab my Key.
And swam it into the bottom of the Ocean, Took a screenshot of where I was, then proceeded to place it on the bottom of the Ocean in that random place. No landmarks, just the knowledge you had to sail into NW for about 20 seconds then dive down.
No one would ever find it.
I then ended up in a really fun 1v4 running around the island having fun with those guys, before sinking their ship once they had all been killed.
At this point another sloop was showing up, and before long.... The first galleon.
I had some fun 1v2's against the sloop then 1v2v4 once the galleon showed up.
None of them knowing where my ship was, so It was always fun returning by shooting myself over the pillars then swimming all the way there.
I eventually managed to get rid of all of them.
But I knew It wasn't going to be easy to get the loot, since they were sure to return.
I eventually went back to my boat, and went on to do some other things in the area while keeping an eye on the boats.
They eventually left.
So I returned, found my Key.
And began loading my sloop... A lengthy proccess when done alone by a greedy pirate who won't leave a sliver of loot behind.... Especially as this was during the first 1-2 weeks of the game... Before any Harpoons existed to loot within minutes.
Sure enough, I ended up getting engaged by both a galleon and a sloop, who returned and saw my sloop parked at the fort for good 15+ minutes.
But, having access to all the remaining kegs on the island to myself, I was able to make yet another pro gamer move, sailing my sloop straight ahead with the wind in my back I dropped off with a Keg in hand and a Galleon infront of me.
Dropped the keg, went onto the ladder, ship hits the keg.
And once I hear repairing noises I once again make my move and go on to Anchor them.
Then kill them all repeatedly until I finally died myself.
I then got back onto my sloop as I respawned just in time to save it.
As the other sloop had caught up to me, having stayed a bit back due to the galleon.
I then had the most exciting chase I've ever had in SoT as I sailed away from this sloop, who had an exceptionally skilled helmsman I must say.
The chase lasted close to an hour with me boarding him multiple times, and him boarding a few times.
Amazing PvP, but... Alas.
It all ended as I finally got him in my boarding, steered him into a reef then anchored him after he hit it.
All the previous boarding stealing planks in each trip left him no choice but to give up the chase.
Maybe he had planks on him, maybe not.
But I mermaid'ed away and got my loot sold at last.
amazing video.I did not expect to enjoy it so much.Perfect work
Cliff, love your content man I clicked on your video as soon as it was up. Literally the only SoT tuber I watch
This reminds me of the time that I soloed a Fort of Fortune. The server merged, so I was left with the key and an open vault. I ended up looting the FoF and took the key with me. After looking up what I was supposed to do with it, I found out I could be tracked with it. I ended up leaving it at Dagger Tooth and high tailed it to Galleon's Grave to turn in all my loot.
Galleon: You have no crew to support you!
Sloop: I have no crew to hold me back! (sets sail against the wind and sword lunges at galleon)
*bunny hopping intensified*
Your videos make me excited for Tuesdays.
What did you say?
"I said go away"
My video quality: gone, reduced to atoms
I know this video is old and someone might've said it before me, but for someone interested I'll share my piece of knowledge.
When two servers merge while just completing the Fort of Fortune, it resolves into the vault being unlocked once the servers merge and the key still in place where it was.
That's what happened to me once, so I suppose it's the way it happened here unless there's another way (or they simply did the Fort of Fortune and never unlocked it, keeping the key for hours - I know this doesn't make any sense, but it's not impossible) AND one last way, to my knowledge it was POSSIBLE to store Stronghold/Fort of Fortune and Fort of the Damned keys inside the Sunken Merfolk Statues found in the Merfolk shrines and treasuries (But I know for a fact that is patched out now).
In terms of hiding the key me and my friend had to come up with a hiding spot for our key since an alliance of a Galleon and a Brig were storming our way.
We were on the Sailor's Knot outpost. To those who have no idea what this fort is famous for (in this case infamous) is the whole layout of the fort is so bad, it takes twice as long to even take the loot from the vault to your ship then from other forts.
Galleon and Brig getting closer any second, my friend told me to pick up some of the kegs on our ship and the key with it and we'll head towards Plunder Outpost.
I had no idea what he had in his mind, but we loaded 5 kegs on our ship alongside with the key to the Fort of Fortune and bolted towards Plunder Outpost.
I jumped out with one keg towards the Galleon which was closer to us, had a succesfull board, setting off the keg and getting their anchor down.
Right after my element of surprise has gone off, I was quickly dispatched and as I've respawned I immediately picked up another keg and went for the Brig.
Sadly this one was unsuccessful, but the second try for the Brig board deemed successful and another anchor + keg blowing up took place.
This bought us enough time, since my friend already docked in the Plunder Outpost and hid the key tellin' me "They won't find it even if they'll spend whole day here"
And sailing away.
I asked him where did he hide the key and he told me about two spots he was thinking about, one is in the entrance to the Athena's hideout, not many people will check there and they'll try and keep searching on land and the second spot is somewhere between rocks where it lands under the textures... this is much harder to performe if you don't know how things work if you drop them, with enough know-how and game knowledge you can prety much do that anywhere and he chose this one, since on Plunder Outpost, there's a place where 3 rocks meet and if you jump between those three rocks you'll get teleported to your ship via black screen, if you bind jump onto your mouse wheel and slide between the three rocks whilst scrolling your wheel, you'll instead jump once or twice before you'll get black screened and teleported.
This little window gives you enough time to pick the key up and place it higher on the rocks making it possible to pick up without sliding between those 3 rocks.
Similiar spot is on Hidden Spring Keep where you can place the key between a bush and a rock and it can only be picked up from a reeeeeally weird angle. If you would stand on the key or on the rock/bush you can't pick it up and it's fairly hidden (The rock and the bush hides the glint of it from a distance), but once they'd pin-point the location via a map it would be just a matter of time until they would figure out the spot from which you can pick it up.
Well anyway, that's enough of mumbling and rambling, have a wonderful day!
And see you on the sea! :)
Hey cliff thanks for getting me back into SOT with your 100 days to PL
Welcome back! Hope you enjoy your time on the sea!
Eyyyy its nice to see someone else using the full Lodestar setup. I love that set and basically use it all the time haha
I wish they gave us cool ship sets like that to unlock rather than buy :(
@@CliffTheStoryGuy yeah, admittedly it would feel much nicer to have earned it than bought it... Speaking of earning cosmetics though, the emissary rank cosmetics - do they reset each month and you unlock the ability to use them per month?
@@QuantumVLOG The rewards stay there until you unlock them, just gonna take you longer to complete if they add new stuff and you haven't been doing your ledgers
Dude I love the fire force fighting music in the background
Yep, I’ve made my mind up. This channel is too good. Okay, it’s not too good it’s really good, like very good. Love your channel keep up the good work.
Im so happy when you upload! I have quite litterly watched all your vids I'm always really happy on Tuesday! awesome vid!
If you complete a FOF and sail away and the server merges its possible that the OF is gone and another FOD is active. You can open that FOF with the key without completing. So you can clear the vault even while the fort is running. if you finish it after that you get another key.
Great video man! Keep it up!
I’ve subscribed and watched every video yet. You really brought back my interest in this game!
I haven’t played SoT in ages but absolutely love your content. Keep up the hard work dude 👌
You are definitely becoming my favorite sea of thieves UA-camr
I always love your videos. Your style is fantastic and you always have the best stories!
Explanation: Sometimes you can get server merged WITH a key. Said key can open another servers Fort of Fortune if it spawns. If you complete that Fort of Fortune with an already opened Vault, you're left with a key that has no door, well, up to a point where you get spawned into another server, or another FoF opens up that fits the key. Good luck surviving until then.
Every time I feel I got this game figured out I learn something new
So… I think I entered this server after you guys. I spawned on a server a few months ago with a key at Galleons Grave. We found it in the PL hideout entrance. Sailed to literally every fort on the map… all of the vaults were opened. It’s the craziest, most unexplained thing I’ve ever experienced in this game…
You are honestly my favorite sea of thieves story teller. Hands down. I also love how you say Rowboat lol
Yay! Another story from the Sea of Tales!
I completely agree, i play solo and im a new player. I have to constantly think of creative solutions to sink ships with more players. I,ve managed to sink two brigs so far and fended off a galleon. Still learning but hoping to join a crew someday.
These videos have gotten me back to playing SOT, keep going with the awesome content!
Welcome back to the seas!
Incredible narration I felt like I was playing. I was on the edge of my seat towards the end💯 New Sub Btw👌🏻
I love playing this game solo. It's kinda relaxing.
Your vids are the best every day I watch every vid every day good job cliff💖
Omg 😱 thanks for the heart cliff💖🥳 also really enjoined the 2 hour for the day 1 to 100 mabye you should do streams🤔
i nearly bursted my lungs with laughter after the ''hello''
The key was probably in the entrance to the pirate legend place
I love playing solo 🔥🔥 i started as a solo and I've always continued that way. Its fun having a crew member with me, but its a different experience solo and much more rewarding
The way you cut back and forth to your character and the gameplay, it really feels like your character is narrating the story. Neat stuff
Someone's gotta tell the story 📖
Like always very cool video
Love you🥰
I may not be an expert at Sea of Thieves but looks to me like the ones at the end just started their voyage
You deserve WAY more subscribers dude, I love your content
Lovin the vids! Keep the going
I was sailing with a fortress key few days ago I just found it on an island not sure what it was I didn’t know it marked u
I think I may know why they had a key and why there was an already opened vault with loot:
If a server merges right after you complete a fort, the vault will open on its own without you having to use the key (I suppose this is a workaround so you don't get left high and dry if you didn't pick up the key prior to the merge or something). That means you're left with the loot and an extra key to use on the next fort that appears (without having to kill the bosses I think).
the door is open because the door is normally open
and when you server merge loot on nearby islands stay so therefore you have a key with the vault open
So glad to see you on the feed again
Glad to see you in the comments
Sad that my friends cut out of this game quite early. We started playing together but it seems im the only one still sailing the sea of thieves. I love this game even though being a solo is an priority target
Keep up this channel, i look forward to every new video. Hope to see ya across the Sea ☠️☠️☠️
Easily the best SoT creator rn!
My initial guess is they opened up the pirate legend hideout brought the key down there and left it there only Legends could find it and it looks like it's on the island when it's really under it
I think it was probably wedged between some rocks or dropped below a mesh
cliff uploads, i watch, i like, i share.
I know exactly where the key was put. It was on the east side crag. Based on the map positioning and the icon, it's the only place it could have been. There's no cave in or under that crag, and the icon was too far back to be in or behind the tavern. So the only place it could have been was on the crag, which is pretty simple to get to if you know how, even while carrying a treasure.
So our galleon crew had this happen to us once (having a FOF key and the vault was opened already). We completed the FOF and then got server merged. All of the loot was in the vault but we still had the key aboard our ship. Fortunately the server we merged into had a FOF a few minutes later, so we cleared every skeleton besides one in the wave and we put our key in and loaded all of the loot and went to sell.
Cool to see you here.
