I killed my first meg today, in total it was the 5th time I’ve encountered a meg but I have always avoided them and sailed away. Today I picked up the courage to fight one (it was The Hungering One) and about halfway through the fight, one of my best friends joined and helped me fight it, we killed it shortly after and that was when I found a new passion for killing megs because, as stressful as it was to me, I had a lot of fun fighting it. So thanks for this video, I’ve been looking for a way to encounter megs more frequently because I love fighting them and this really helped me out! I’m gonna try it out tomorrow since it’s almost midnight right now, wish me luck!
really interesting video Trunath! I think that you're theory is more or less correct, aside from the specific zones, it's likely that it's purely random where the 4 can be at any given time. Would love to see an update on this if you're ever able to conduct more tests for this theory!
I went out last night with my friends to test your ideas. We actually got meg'd TWICE in the first row alone. GG and thank you for this info. I will use it more.
Good assumptions but one thing I would change is to leave a zone entirely once you've killed a meg in that zone. Only after your next kill should you assume that another meg has spawned in the previous zone even that may not be enough to allow a new meg to spawn.
Merfolk’s Lullaby (same website I use for tracking the storm) is actually working on a meg map. It’s not complete but it has 22 known potential spawn locations pinpointed. I haven’t used it since I haven’t bothered to actively seek them out but I assume it could help make it a lot easier.
@@dopecringelordnot sure if you saw it but it got removed for some reason. Just google it and go the interactive maps then it should be somewhere on the bottom of that page.
There are megs rotations, 1 by ship. If you have ever done a meg hunting full server alliance, you would notice this. Also I spawned 4 megs at the same time by doing a 5 sloop alliances 1 month ago ( 2 crested 1 hungering 1 ancient terror )
i get that theyre keeping things under wraps to prevent people from exploiting the game, but rare needs to give us at least something regarding the specifics of meg spawning. i used to be able to finish the 4th pirates life tall tale, and when im leaving the coral fortress, i would almost always get a meg spawn. only 2 times i didnt, one was where i got a skelly sloop instead, but the other was just last week, where nothing spawned at all, meaning that it might have been patched. people also have mentioned that a meg spawns when the shroudbreaker disappears off your ship after comleting the shores of gold, but i never got that to happen
Sometimes Meg scan spawn outside of the map: i have encountered several in the shores of gold and near the coral fortress for example. Also, I have seen twice that a meg has changed it’ type upon reeintering it’s zone
Firstly, that patch note came out when there was only one Megalodon before shrouded spoils added the other variants- hell, skeleton ships didn’t exist then which is now something you have to consider Second, because Skelton ships can spawn on a player just like Megs- they use the same spawn ticket system, meaning that only a certain amount can spawn at a time- Third, this ticket system is also used for roaming skeleton ships, so a reliable way to increase megs is to sink roaming skeleton ships, because there can only be a certain amount of tickets active at a a time- You can’t just look at a patch from four years ago and assume it’s the same
@@luketalbot2643 I can’t remember specifics, which looks bad on my part- sorry But I’ve been following this game since launch and been keeping up with Devlogs and in depth workings of the systems such as world events- which I learned about at launch because I wanted to learn how the kraken spawn works
Nice video! I'm using other method for meg hunting which takes time but less effort, but this one worths a try. Can you tell approximately how many time passed between the 3 meg spawns?
I love hunting megs and seeing this i will probably uss it to hunt them i even named one of my sloops the meg hunter and put the whole shark hunter set on it i would put the shrouded ghost set on but i dont own that yet
there are rumors that a meg only spawns after you are 90min on the same server. after you killed it you have to wait 90min again. There are a few regions where they will spawn after 90min. we tested it and today after 90min was the first one. the secon was again after 90min and the third also after 90min. after that we cant spawn a new one for 5h don´t know if it was 3 random 90min encounters or if that is kind of true
So did i get this right, to spawn Megalodon it has 2 squares extra radius? 9 sector radius?? OK, here is one research i did. i got Megalodon in W17 at The Devil's Roar, i sailed slowly to test how long is the Megalodons "radius", and boy this was worth it. In the Sector W17, it STAYS in that sector where you got it, but it can go nearly between sectors W16 and 18 = W17 the middle spawn. Soo, It's not bad size to spawn? Almost 9 spawn + action zone, but saddly almost one sector where it stays. AND one zone per Megalodon.
I helped another crew defeat a megalodon in the ancient Isles before, after beating the beast we sailed away and immediately got attacked in the same place the other crew did.
I'd love to see more content like this. I'm still hunting for the Shrouded Ghost. I keep hearing that its not actually in the game, but then why is then a commendation for it? I still haven't met any one whos actually seen it though.
i was near the fotd in a 2 sloop alliance and we got attacked by a shadow maw we killed it then our ship about half a grid away got attacked less than a minuite after we killed ours its regions not distance
The quality of these videos are amazing! You deserve many more followers. Keep up the great work!
something to consider for your next meg hunt is to bring the shores of gold checkpoint, ive commonly come across megs while leaving the shores of gold

Hi toxic I like your vids
Yeah but the hunters call should get a voyage to hunt megs and krakens
we need an alliance server and a serious test to figure out meg spawn mechanics, this is totally something we could set up
When I used to play on those servers I noticed megs love spawning between thieves haven and plunder outpost
@@mephala7446 my freind also said that
@Eran Hasson it used to be pretty consistent but I'm not sure if it still holds true with then changing Meg spawns and stuff
I went out last night with my friends to test your ideas. We actually got meg'd TWICE in the first row alone. GG and thank you for this info. I will use it more.
Ayyyy glad it seemed to help!
I feel like you're on the verge of a huge discovery. Good luck with your sea of thieves science!
Sea Of Science
Good assumptions but one thing I would change is to leave a zone entirely once you've killed a meg in that zone. Only after your next kill should you assume that another meg has spawned in the previous zone even that may not be enough to allow a new meg to spawn.
I think your theory is correct but someone must have already spawned a meg in your server that is why you got 3 and not 4
Merfolk’s Lullaby (same website I use for tracking the storm) is actually working on a meg map. It’s not complete but it has 22 known potential spawn locations pinpointed. I haven’t used it since I haven’t bothered to actively seek them out but I assume it could help make it a lot easier.
Can u link it?

Great video Trunath! Thanks for helping me on my grind to get the megalodon trinket for my captained sloop! Keep up the amazing content!
great quality video
I killed the shrouded ghost a couple months ago and I could not sleep cause I was so excited that I actually got it.
Optimal hunters call grind
How long it takes you to encounter those 3 megs ,'
Love the Video. How long did it take to sail across the whole sea of thieves?
I hope he answers this eventually
there are some sound issuses. like its making really loud noises. is that just my computer? Edit: just my computer
Phew, you had me worried for a sec so I immediately went to double-check 😂

How long was the session? Very interesting. To farm up megs to level up hunters call and other commendations
How long did it take to complete it? Thanks
Great video!
No shrouded ghosts?
Very useful, kudos sir!

@@CaptainFrank2250 Interesting! Thanks for getting back to me, might have to look at some of those dev logs now
I found out that megas can spawn outside of the grid map, but not the shroud.
Very cool Video. I subscribed!
u should be way more known in this comunity
I love your vids

I love hunting megs and seeing this i will probably uss it to hunt them i even named one of my sloops the meg hunter and put the whole shark hunter set on it i would put the shrouded ghost set on but i dont own that yet
I once heard that every ship is in a queue for world events so every crew gets one random when another one got one. But i dont know if this is true.
Cool vid bro
Now we have a reliable way to farm for the nonexistent Meg and Meg meat.
there are rumors that a meg only spawns after you are 90min on the same server.
after you killed it you have to wait 90min again.
There are a few regions where they will spawn after 90min.
we tested it and today after 90min was the first one. the secon was again after 90min and the third also after 90min.
after that we cant spawn a new one for 5h
don´t know if it was 3 random 90min encounters or if that is kind of true
I killed a megalodon once and another spawned instantly it happened a couple weeks ago
Meg can spawn in shores of gold 4th was likely there
I tried this, only had two that spawned on me.
Challenge: do the same but with kraken
Seems like it worked pretty well tbh.
So did i get this right, to spawn Megalodon it has 2 squares extra radius? 9 sector radius?? OK, here is one research i did.
i got Megalodon in W17 at The Devil's Roar, i sailed slowly to test how long is the Megalodons "radius", and boy this was worth it.
In the Sector W17, it STAYS in that sector where you got it, but it can go nearly between sectors W16 and 18 = W17 the middle spawn. Soo, It's not bad size to spawn? Almost 9 spawn + action zone, but saddly almost one sector where it stays. AND one zone per Megalodon.
Imagine if you got the shrouded ghost
The dream 😂
Do this every day till you have a sample set of 100
I helped another crew defeat a megalodon in the ancient Isles before, after beating the beast we sailed away and immediately got attacked in the same place the other crew did.

it's a meme in the community because of just how rare it is
i had killed 4 shrouded ghost but the fifth is not coming
i was near the fotd in a 2 sloop alliance and we got attacked by a shadow maw we killed it then our ship about half a grid away got attacked less than a minuite after we killed ours its regions not distance
🐙
I've conducted my own research and I can certainly say that there in fact is a spawn for the shrouded ghost (no world event active) somewhere in dr
Hi
My meg luck is awful
