When merrick says "you stood your ground, you never gave up" that will hit different for me as im terrible at pvp and almost gave up but i kept going abd now im getting closer by the day
Same. I'm only lvl 20 atm. Honestly, it's discouraging when I end up getting bullied by more seasoned reapers. Especially when they decide to take their time to kick you while you're down.
I love how, even though he is referred to as the "Pirate Lord", he shows mutual respect for his friends and allies and treats everyone as equals worthy to become legends!
Personally, I despise the pirate lord and Athena. I'm not even a super big Reaper guy, but the Pirate Lord's ideals are flawed in every way. Plus the pirate lord is just kind of a big manbaby who causes issues so he can "fix" them and be praised. At least Flameheart is upfront about being evil.
Kinda love the little wink the Pirate Lord gives to the player before the speech starts, basically being like: "I knew since the day we met on Old Sailor Isle that you would get this far, my friend."
And I love the little bit of hesitation when Ramsey offers his hand to the player. Nobody has ever physically _touched_ the Pirate Lord, it's almost a moment of disbelief, "Am I really about to shake the hand of the Pirate Lord?" followed by his reassuring nod telling the player to go ahead
Whats even better on this angle is if you turn around from this spot, The Pirate lord has a little cubby practically dedicated to your journey! It houses all the shores of gold tall tale books on his shelves, and even has the shroudbreaker tucked away.
There's something interesting about the contrast between Athena and Reapers. When you receive Athena's Blessing, you're gathered by those who see you as a friend to the end. With the Ritual of the Flame, it's basically you sacrificing yourself for the sake of the Reapers and for your own selfish greed, showing you are out for yourself with no allies by your side.
I've maxed out the neutral factions. I'm working on reapers and servants now. I went ahead and decided to watch the curse ceremonies. Quite by accident, I've set my pirate up for a redemption story. A swabbie gets seduced by the flame and sells himself to Flameheart. They use him to infiltrate the Athenas and along the way he ends up as one of their most valuable members.
Slightly disagree. The voice actor sounds like she’s peaking her range more than a few times in the performance. A bit less wind and a bit more audio balancing would’ve served the harmony a lot better.
As an extra tid bit, during the blessing there is a special pirate chat radial menu that lets you send messages of each line of the song. As far as im aware, this is only accessible during the blessing.
Theres something similar in the third pirates life talltale where you sing the song Jack was sing when on a throne/ chair he was singing it on, in the radial.
@@insert_name_here6487 i think it take a full assault on the hideout, enough to distract flame hearts minions and then take the painting...hell we might just smash up the place just to teach the reapers a lesson
When i got it myself and watched my buddies get it it gave me goosebumps everytime. Just being through so much adventures, battles, funny moments, the bad moments that we pushed through because how much we love the seas, then seeing pretty much your soul being taken from you as tribute to your legendary status. It hit different
I love the juxtaposition between the faction cutscenes. During the Blessing you're treated to a speech and congratulations, and everyone acts like they consider you an equal among legends. But during the Ritual of the Flame (my chosen faction) you're distantly watched by other cultists, and assured of your position as one of many cogs in a greater machine. One makes you feel unique and special, the other tells you "good job, there's more work to be done". An interesting peek into the mindsets and deeper philosophies of both factions and their perspective on what they're fighting for.
I have this curse. It gives you the ability to do unique emotes like sitting on the pirate lord’s throne and pointing his staff. Trust me the grind is absolutely worth it!
I have played since day one, I am currently grinding for the Ghost curse and i cant wait to unlock it, I will feel as though my pirate (I also haven't changed his appearance since day one) has truly became a pirate legend
I am as well but while it still is cool don't get me wrong it feels like this keeps happening. Like first Pirate Legend was it, then Athena 10, then Athena 20, then Athena 30, then finishing the Veil, and now getting level 100 in the Guardians faction, and then once again with level 1000 it just seems like there is continuous ways to make you "feel like a legend". Good or bad I don't know but I'm just saying it because it seems that way, I'm enjoying it though. Only thing is I highly doubt I'll get to level 1000, definitely not in both, and definitely not anytime soon if ever, 100 is hard enough, 200 is even more so.
@@2001trash Same here, and 200 as well for the Mysterious stranger cosmetics, then maybe like 100 for the Reapers, I just really want the captaincy decorations you can get from it plus some cosmetics and ofc the curses
This is what makes sea of thieves a truly spectacular game, it's a game for everyone, whether your a pirate just trying to make some money, or a bloodthirsty pirate out to send every last ship to the ocean floor, or a pirate in search of glory, this scene is in some way, like an ending to a pirates story, sea of thieves has truly done what no other game could do, it truly immerses you into it, makes you feel like your there fighting the battles, selling your chests, and sailing into the sunset with your crew at your side, this is what sea of thieves is, a true pirates life
I’m 2018 my old friend group had told me of this game called sea of thieves. We played, looted, and most importantly of all, we enjoyed ourselves. Return to now where that old friend group became toxic and I moved away. Another friend group was around during that time but most in this friend group have disappeared due to some drama. I started playing the game again in 2022, a lot had changed in the game and in real life. A couple of us in the other friend group (3 others) (not the toxic one I had left) reconnected and looked back on why the friend group disappeared instead of blaming each other. Then, we played. We set our differences aside, forgave, and played. Because that’s what it’s about. It’s all about the game, Not betrayal and hatred. So when I got this cutscene for myself I didn’t just think about the personal hardship it took to get the curse, I thought about how through thick and thin this friend group who has had an incredible amount of bumps in the sea was still able to persevere and still enjoy ourselves. That’s what Athena’s Fortunes about. Did I cry during this cutscene? Maybe a tad bit. Did me and my friends earn it together? Absolutely. Thank you Sea of Thieves, for everything.
I know it's just gameplay and needs to be this way, but I REALLY think we're canonically overqualified for the ghost blessing. You mean to tell me ALL those other yahoos did as much as we did? *killed Briggsy *killed Graymarrow *reached the shores of gold and killed Rathbone *repaired the shroudbreaker *restored the veil *freed Pendragon's crew *freed the Morningstar crew *curbstomped Davy Jones' invasion *killed Stitcher Jim *sunk roughly 200 servant ships Ramsey should've blessed us after a QUARTER of that shit.
one minor complaint is that DeMarco doesn't make an appearance here. It would've been sick if after you got the blessing, the pirate lord would tell you he's proud, then say that someone special wanted to meet you, then DeMarco would appear and give you the seadog wave, congratulate you on your combat skills, and his presence there would've meant Ramsey cares enough about his son to at least let his spirit join his ghostly crew
I wont lie this is a moment of the game that got me truly emotional. To me this whole cutscene feels like the big reward to your journey not just with the hourglass, but evertthing that has brought you to this point. The pirate lord watching you as if he knew from day one, from the moment you met them, that you were desinted for greatness, and that it is why the pirate's life chose you. All the ghosts coming in to cheer and rejoice to your newfound alleigance to me feels like its every player crewmate youve had alongside you on your voyages have came to celebrate. The old players that helped teach you the ropes, the new players youd help teach, the alliances you formed, the friends you made. It feels like every person that helped you get to this point was there with you to rejoice in a decision that will change your life for its better. Its moments like this that really make me love this game. It makes you feel so in the moment
I love how the Reapers (Servants of the Flame) and the Athenas Fortune blessings and what they sing/say is direct opposites. In Athenas, its a blessing how Athena, for eternal life among those alike you, you now sail alongside and togheter with all the others like you, a part of a large crew, where all are equal, and they sing songs of the glory and more which shall come from everyone sailing togheter, against the opression of kings and others. The Reapers, Servants of the Flame, give their life to become immortal under Flameheart, they are but an elite in a pact under one ruler, a pact which means naught on the sea, and they speak of how they shall sink and kill all others on the sea, the in the name of the flame, how noone shall know peace. Its amazing, especially how in Athena, you are an ally, and want no enemies, but the Servants of the Flame proclaim Athena and the Pirate Lord their eternal enemy, showing even more just the difference between the two.
This is basically a good ending to a game while the skelly curse feels like a terrible ending that you chose the wrong path, in the athenas blessing you get to join the crew and have a huge ceremony as it isnt often that a new crewmate is added, and the pirate lord shows respect towards you! But in the skeleton curse you are sacrificing yourself to a evil being who has no respect for you and sees you as just another slave. I would rather get athenas blessing tbh
The Skeleton curse is assuring you of your achievements over Athena fortune. You are a true pirate and flame heart even tells you that you are worthy and that he accepts you while he may turn away others. You are now truly worthy of being a Skeleton. The skeleton curse is power and Athena’s blessing is companionship.
I mean, in maiden voyage one of the journals is ramsey malding about merrick bringing the megalodon back, so I’d say he’s still got some hate in him lol
Even though I supported Flameheart it was sad to see Pendragon go, we have a way to see him again through the 3rd and 5th tall tale in a Pirate's Life and of course The Seabound Soul and A Heart of Fire. Godspeed Pendragon.
@rebelsoldier6133 I think it would be insulting, the community vote should be final, I'd have been annoyed if pendragon won only for flameheart to be resurrected anyway If they bring pendragon back then it defeats the purpose of having the community vote
"Our Sea of Thieves isn't perfect like this ship, Athena's fortune." He knows how the Sea of Thieves is built is flawed and even acknowledges it. But as he says :"This place is our home." even if the seas need some work here or there. This will at least be better than burning outposts with no place to even call home anymore. We don't know what the 'future' has in store, but if we continue to fight this war. I don't think there will be much of a 'future' left for us.
with Flameheart resurrected, the burning blade deployed and his minions on the loose there's only one thing certain about the future. There will be blood and fire on the seas. many of us may lose hope, but the courageous actions made by those who stand in defiance of Flameheart and his legion of sadists will show us the true value of the gold earned. honor, adventure, community and a well earned swig o' grog!
Got this during the latest community weekend, and it was worth the grind. It's fun leading my crew on voyages as a ghostly captain. Makes them feel confident we can take on anything with a true legend at the helm. I love this game.
Skeleteon curse cutscene: Gives a feeling of awe and epicness Athena's curse cutscene: Gives a sympathetic feeling which stays with the player forever, like a warmhearted "good game" from your enemy after a long sweaty game, it makes one almost cry (I did tear a little bit), the chorus all joining on the congratulations, the pirate lord giving a speech that's beautiful and welcoming, gives a really good family feeling. It makes me sad that I don't have the motivation or the skill to get that good to gain either curse.
The whole queue time debacle for the Hourglass really demotivated me when this came out and then work took off again for the season and my grind for this came to a halt, but rewatching this, just stoked the fire again. I need to get this. I need to experience this and have crewmates be present. I'm gonna get back in the saddle for this in my free time, grind be damned!
I love Ramsey as a character (especially his VA) so joining the servants of the flame kinda felt like a betrayal, especially since the pirate lords literally been there since the beginning Sorry Ramsey
I feel like the mysterious stranger should've been here or even blind bob? But otherwise goddamn i love how this games music and visuals mix together. It's so theatrical
i just noticed this rn as soon as you transform into a ghost after inspecting your hand for a split second you can see your human ones suddenly go limp and fall downward as if you had left your human body after becoming a ghost, i honestly found this detail rather nice.
Out of every tall tale, every achievement, every rare bit of loot and cosmetics, the one thing i want the most in this game is to reach this cutscene and shake the pirate lord's hand myself. No matter how many toxic players or bitter losses I gotta face, once i reach guardian 100, i'll know it was worth it.
Good luck to you (if you haven't got it yet) I'm currently grinding for my ghost curse but it's not easy when your crew member is one of the biggest flameheart fan on the seas 😂
Thought I'd give this a watch, seeing as I may well never see it myself. Not a good enough pirate you say? Oh no no, I'm more than capable, I just serve a greater cause is all. ❤🔥
When you wholeheartedly adore and agree with the pirate lord's philosophy but want to side with flameheart anyway because the skeleton curse is way cooler
If you want to see something really interesting, read the comments in this video and then read the comments on the Flames's Ritual video (of this same channel). Such a different perspective!
This moment would have been more momental if the game showed the most recent players to achieve the Blessing of Athena’s Fortune in the crowd, or at least their faces on the Athena’s Fortune outfits (Dark Adventurer, Legendary, Ghost, and Emissary)
I love how when the whole crew of Athenas fortune is singing you can clearly hear Ramsey's voice over all the others especially on the line "if we sail together" , really reminds you who the true captain is
If you look for a deeper meaning, this dialogue feels like a huge thank you from the developers to the players
It really is a special moment.
Especially 0:46 when they talk about our most hated and beloved game
Lol yeah ok
It feels like the good ending to sea of thieves.

Its amazing, especially how in Athena, you are an ally, and want no enemies, but the Servants of the Flame proclaim Athena and the Pirate Lord their eternal enemy, showing even more just the difference between the two.
This is basically a good ending to a game while the skelly curse feels like a terrible ending that you chose the wrong path, in the athenas blessing you get to join the crew and have a huge ceremony as it isnt often that a new crewmate is added, and the pirate lord shows respect towards you! But in the skeleton curse you are sacrificing yourself to a evil being who has no respect for you and sees you as just another slave. I would rather get athenas blessing tbh
The Skeleton curse is assuring you of your achievements over Athena fortune. You are a true pirate and flame heart even tells you that you are worthy and that he accepts you while he may turn away others. You are now truly worthy of being a Skeleton. The skeleton curse is power and Athena’s blessing is companionship.

I feel like glitter beard was the thank you for playing the game that hit different definitely a special moment fr
Friendship ended with reapers, Athena's fortune crew are my new friends now
Got this during the latest community weekend, and it was worth the grind. It's fun leading my crew on voyages as a ghostly captain. Makes them feel confident we can take on anything with a true legend at the helm. I love this game.
The becalmed in the background gets me every time
So glad they used the song here.
One of the rare game rewards were when you get it you truly feel like you’ve earned it and that it was worth the blood, the sweat, and the tears!
Skeleteon curse cutscene: Gives a feeling of awe and epicness
Athena's curse cutscene: Gives a sympathetic feeling which stays with the player forever, like a warmhearted "good game" from your enemy after a long sweaty game, it makes one almost cry (I did tear a little bit), the chorus all joining on the congratulations, the pirate lord giving a speech that's beautiful and welcoming, gives a really good family feeling. It makes me sad that I don't have the motivation or the skill to get that good to gain either curse.
I stood before the Pirate Lord and he showed me my strength, my spirit.
I may be a reaper but god damn the pirate lord does have my respect
Aye! You've got to give the man his earned respect.
@@RareThief well ita official i am no longer serving the flame im with the pirate lord now to the very end
@@saqibmalik5830 we welcome you, your past mistakes shall be forgiven.
@@saqibmalik5830 Welcome to the crew, may your legends be tried and true forever!
Receiving the Athena curse:peaceful and wholesome singing as a welcoming
Receiving reaper curse:selling your soul💀
If the crew of the Morning Star had been there, that would have been a nice touch too!
Aye!, they deserve to be down there
That would have been next level!
Sea of thieves and One Piece always make me think pirates aren't that bad.
1:05can someone tell me the name of this theme
Becalmed.
I cried watching this, it really feels like rare put a deeper message into that speech
The whole queue time debacle for the Hourglass really demotivated me when this came out and then work took off again for the season and my grind for this came to a halt, but rewatching this, just stoked the fire again. I need to get this. I need to experience this and have crewmates be present. I'm gonna get back in the saddle for this in my free time, grind be damned!
You got this, pirate! Be on the lookout for any Allegiance boost events like Community Day or Gold & Glory. They help a lot!
I don’t think I’d ever forget the day I became a pirate legend surrounded by friends that was the best day ever
I love Ramsey as a character (especially his VA) so joining the servants of the flame kinda felt like a betrayal, especially since the pirate lords literally been there since the beginning
Sorry Ramsey
We feel guilty for every Guardian we sink as well...
Ramsey abandoned his family. Never forget that.
@@Bacxaber the reapers murdered thousands so not that bad
I feel like the mysterious stranger should've been here or even blind bob? But otherwise goddamn i love how this games music and visuals mix together. It's so theatrical
The pirate lord lighting up more and singing together was the most badass thing ever
i just noticed this rn as soon as you transform into a ghost after inspecting your hand for a split second you can see your human ones suddenly go limp and fall downward as if you had left your human body after becoming a ghost, i honestly found this detail rather nice.
Hold fast tides are tunning
Flames roars fires are burning
We will all be returning
If we sail together
All on the waves shall know our story
Sing of the battles fought ashore, we
All shall thrive on fame and glory
We shall sail together
"We are honored to welcome you to our crew."
In full Reaper garb: Hehehe
I my whole body got literal chills and goosebumps from the song and I don’t know why
Out of every tall tale, every achievement, every rare bit of loot and cosmetics, the one thing i want the most in this game is to reach this cutscene and shake the pirate lord's hand myself. No matter how many toxic players or bitter losses I gotta face, once i reach guardian 100, i'll know it was worth it.
It truly is I reached lvl 100 today and this thing it will remain in my mind for ever
Good luck to you (if you haven't got it yet) I'm currently grinding for my ghost curse but it's not easy when your crew member is one of the biggest flameheart fan on the seas 😂
Thought I'd give this a watch, seeing as I may well never see it myself.
Not a good enough pirate you say? Oh no no, I'm more than capable, I just serve a greater cause is all. ❤🔥
Pirates for all eternity!
Truly a great moment for pirates. We will never bow to tyrants no matter how powerful they may be.
Here here!
Flesh is weak. Flame is eternal
(I'm grinding Athena's now after doing Reapers first)
Amazing! I absolutely love that song.
It’s so good!
That song gives me absolute CHILLS, wow!
Literal goosebumps!
Athena's music >>> i cant it s too beautiful
🥺
3:37 the way belle and merricks heads snap back had me laughing
😆
The bit when you hold the pirate lords hand gives the chills although I’m a servant this is better as it has singing thanks rare thief ☺️
Yeah, that's a great moment!
I’m a reaper through and through, but holy shit the Athenas fortune is a a cool faction
This one gonna be a moment with a little tear on my cheek in 52 levels 😊
Nice! You got this!
When you wholeheartedly adore and agree with the pirate lord's philosophy but want to side with flameheart anyway because the skeleton curse is way cooler
Skeleton Curse for the win
I hope they add the green skelly glitch as a skin for when you get 100 in both factions lol
The ritual for this is so good a tear came to my eye🥲
😭
I'm still struggling to get this, I'm so excited to get this curse. Must of been a cool moment to experience.
I'm at 53 levels and just can't give up my brain won't let me.
@@gavinshirley don't give up, you got this!!!
this one gave me more chills than the ritual of the flame scene
Literal goosebumps!
2:16 Music starts
Will you do the skeleton curse?
Yeah! For sure :)
YAY Thanks
If you want to see something really interesting, read the comments in this video and then read the comments on the Flames's Ritual video (of this same channel). Such a different perspective!
Im not even lying i have watched this video for like 40 times already❤
We cherish it too!
words of warnings truly have been spoken and ancient creatures indeed did awoken
I hate this grind I'm literally levelling faster by letting people sink me but this cutscene makes it worth it
How the grind going I'm 98
88 levels to go for this. Edit: it is done, It was a fantastic journey.
We all believe in u, u can do it! :D
In my opinion this is the best moment in Sea of Thieves
They knocked it out of the park!
2:22
Begining of the cutscene's cover of We Shall Sail Together
I just noticed that after you shake pirate lord's hand he winks at you after
This is life changing. Belles voice is beautiful 😍
It’s magnificent!
Goosebumps so much better than Flamehearts gonna have to play the game again
Even if I haven’t been playing for a while due to not having a crew of my own. Seeing this makes me tear up for some reason 🥹
Can you go back to the hidout here after youve got the blessing or is it just once.
Yep! You can go back as many times as you like.
@@RareThiefyea but i mean can you see this cutscene again, or just once?
The amount of detail in this is amazing like holy shit that was stunning
Agreed! Incredible!
This moment would have been more momental if the game showed the most recent players to achieve the Blessing of Athena’s Fortune in the crowd, or at least their faces on the Athena’s Fortune outfits (Dark Adventurer, Legendary, Ghost, and Emissary)
I love how this scene is powerful and wholesome while the reapers one is just satanic
Haha! This one is indeed wholesome :)
Have always sided with Athena and probably forever will, i cant wait to get this blessing.
Wait so you can get the season 1 curse again??
Yeah they added it as a unlockable curse
Yep! You can purchase it after you reach Allegiance level 105 :)
A very good job they did with this cutscene, I’m still to see what the reapers one is, but until then the grind continues
Yeah they went all out on these cutscenes. Love them!
It’d probably be an annoying process but I’d love that if you had friends with this curse they’d be in the crowd singing as well
I love how when the whole crew of Athenas fortune is singing you can clearly hear Ramsey's voice over all the others especially on the line "if we sail together" , really reminds you who the true captain is
No one sings over the Pirate Lord.
