How are ye cap’n
Because I think he has the most hours in the game
I think he played the game from launch
I would love to see the burning blade versus Davey Jones and you're just the man to do it
One of the first things i thought of when the burning blade was released was how it would do against the flying Ducthman. From what I remember, they look to be the same size. As well the Dutch man has ten cannons on each side if I remember from the tall tale, and of course, the burning blade has some direct inspiration from the Dutchman
Would be awesome if we could get a huge Athena ship vs the burning blade
@@lollol-ow8rbpirate lords ship v burning blade
One thing they could do is type of a coin toss. You can either have the burning blade spawn in and take it over normal, and then once you reach like 12 or something crazy in ritual stacks, the Flagship of the pirate lord spawns and you have to sink it.
Or have the Athena Flagship spawn in like the burning blade, but instead of sinking it, you have to go aboard it and help defend the pirate ghost from flamehearts skeletons then you can captain it.
@lollol-ow8rb I was wondering if that's what the dry dock could be for on port Merrick, or if people had sided with the good guys and Pendragon had been returned that might have been where the Blackwyche would have been rebuilt.
@@lollol-ow8rbyeah deffo
The strat for burning blade is def boarding and clearing skeletons before even trying to get bottom decks honestly
Pretty much. Just gotta harass the hell out of the ship. I'm pretty sure we made several burning blade crews angry.
Would that be the 1 thing scattershot is good for?
@@bobmcbob49 not really when there are so many skelly u have to be close to hit the scatter shots so u will get hit by skelly cannons and the skelly that are on bottom will fix the holes in no time so the scatter is still not the answer
@@bobmcbob49 sadly not. We fired 6 andhthey repaired fast :(
It can if ya can keep up firing constant otherwise the amount of skellys and a single player bucket is all takes to fix the Problem@@bobmcbob49
The test is still inconclusive though... I bet not every crew has Timmys help.
Now we know how Chest of Sorrows are made, Falcore on an elevator
Timmy is the real champion of the Burning Blade.
Timmy Burch - Timmy!
You're welcome ;)
Besides the pearl being enchanted to slightly manipulate the wind it can be sunk but, gotta admit it's the fastest ship in its universe 😅
The elevator music was *chef kiss*.
I was wondering if 3 or 4 kegs would be more effective spread apart vs. clustered together, like would it take longer for the skelly crew to patch more, smaller holes vs. fewer, larger holes. (Also would the initial explosion spread take out more of the skelly crew, reducing the number of skellies repairing.) It would make for some more interesting experiments.
It takes 4 kegs placed in the water around 1 side.
If done right it will flip over, become sunk, ping cartoonishly into air before returning the right way up in the water and actually sinking.
6 one must be detonated with a player holding it in the middle that detonates the others .kegs held by a player have a different effect
Not even a mega keg on a Brig level crew got to second deck lol
Mega kegs are weirdly inconsistent.
I've detonated one next to the wood barrel on a sloop just for 1 guy to save it, granted without me trying to kill him since we were just dicking around in an alliance.
Another time we put 2 mega kegs into a galley in close succession, knowing we killed most of the crew just in the first blast, and they still recovered while we were actively fighting them.
we got mega kegged three times and were fine
Logically, when rare inevitably adds the "good" counterpart to the Burning Blade, will it be the Athena's Fortune, or the Blackwyche?
I really hope its the Blackwyche.
That would imply the return of Pendragon, which considering Rares track record will be in 2069 @keldera
The Magpie.

@@sjoerdderks4731 it'sa joke because flameheart took 6 years to return
My friend and I have two manned the Burning Blade twice now. The first time was release day, and that sucked because we got swarmed very quickly . Second time was on Tuesday, which went much better. There was a galleon chasing us relentlessly, but we found that the people who were on it were absolute trash at the game. So my buddy hopped on, anchored their ship, and I hit them with the Ashen Roar and then sent them to the next server. We are actively trying to get more people on for a full ship, but our friends are never on. It’s whatever, the Burning Blade is a fun addition to the game, and I hope we see something similar on the good side in the future.
You have to do one with kegs sprinkled around the ship. Get going to some shrines!
The holes actually have 5 tiers. Kinda funny
since when
@@Nyko_ not exactly sure. Someone noticed it when scattershots came out. They made a vid about the damage system. It was really interesting
for people too lazy to seek that video out:
- scattershots deal 4 tier 1 holes, that cannot increase with more scattershots
- chainshots deal 1 tier 1
- cannonballs deal 1 tier 3, repeated fire increases by 1 tier, up to t5
the shots of the exchange between the Black Pearl and the Burning Blade was my idea. I'm glad it looked so badass.
Note the Black Pearl is made for speed, hence the large sails
Elevator Sim 2024 is looking like a real banger lmfao. Love your vids, Falcore. So funny
The flying dutchman in game looks to be similar size and have similar weapons so maybe one day we will be able to sail those large tall tale ships
We need flex tape next season
Underrated comment
I guessed 6 kegs. At 4 I was worried I might be off by 1 and it'd be 5. Turns out, 4 kegs just happened to kill an unlucky amount of skeletons or something, lol.
Flying dutchman beats the Burning Blade and the Black Pearl beat the dutchman so my goat the Black pearl wipes the Burning blade 😫
When I saw him throwing that last blunder bomb, I hoped there would be kegs all over the ship, resulting in a massive explosion, but, to my disappointment, there was only one keg :(
Black Pearl will always be the most beautiful ship
Imagine, just imagine season 14 brings the Black Gauntlet as a world event and they spawn together with the Burning Blade. And you can choose a side to fight against the other side. That would be epic.
the kraken that sunk the black pearl was giant, the krakens in sea of thieves look similar to a galleon in the hourglass matchmaking
I wonder if spacing the kegs, so that some of the holes are also placed on the mid deck could help. Putting the holes nore spaced out could result in a crew not getting a critical T2 closed from not noticing it or being overlooked in favour of closing a T1 on the lower in the confusion, after having thinned out the skeleton crew.
I can only imagine how tedious it was going down to restock the skeletons every time. Thank Ramsey we have you to do all the hard work for us so we don't have to bother tearing our hair out.
dropped 2 normal kegs and 2 stronghold on it in quick succession with a friend and while manned by other players, it survived.
i feel like kegs need to be placed correctly to do damage, a couple of days ago we wanted to blow up the blade with an athena keg, it blew up inside our brigantine, we managed to save it by the skin of our teeth.
top be precise it did:
3 100% holes
1 60 % hole
full damaged wheel mast and anchor.
(it expoded in front of the wood barrel just in front of the stairs)
“Stop blowing holes in my ship!”
-Flameheart probably
I love how much effort you put into what was essentially a filler episode xD
one thing i noticed with the burning blade is when the ashen roar is being charged up if you look at it it looks like a giant orb of secrets
I mean if you think about it, if you go by keg logic. Technically the Black Pearl would win a fight agents the Burning Blade because it’s immune to kegs
I think I've said this before, but I truly believe The Burning Blade (and to a lesser extent, the fully AI man o' wars we've seen in the crossover tall tales) is a semi-secret test to see if these larger ships can function properly on the servers. And if all goes well, we'll finally get proper, player man o' wars in the game.
Make it a 10 man crew ship
@@NiCoNiCoNiCola dear god
@@yourfriendlyneighborhoodsc1447 there's more
When you mentioned kegs i immediatly thought of hitbotc sinking the bb by flipping it with 5 kegs😂
Dunno how I ended up here but this is goldddd. Love it
The athena counterpart of the burning blade should be crewed by ghost athena crews and should be one of the legendary athena ships imo.
Spacing the kegs might be better than just putting all of them close to each other. I bet 5 or 6 kegs would do the job if you put 3 of them in the lower deck and 2/3 in the middle deck. You can kill more skeletons and you probably open more holes. Considering the explosion of normal kegs has a 9 steps radius you could chain them beautifully
But that'd be a 1 minute video and you wouldn't see my pain of going down the elevator, where's the fun in that? 🤣
7-8 normal kegs. 4-5 stronghold ones and 1-2 acient ones
There's a Nobel prize in this for sure
I was definitely not gambling on my life by shooting my blunderbuss at the athena keg i had in the blades crowsnest. it eventually exploded doing only minimal damage to the hull and knocking down only two masts.
I bet on 6 regular kegs, 4 skeleton ones, and two blackpowder ones
dam, I underestimated the dude
I think if you could spread them out in a line rather than grouping, you could probably do it with less.
The Black Pearl is on par with the Flying Dutchman, so the question is could the Flying Dutchman beat the burning blade?
Easily. The black pearl has 32 cannons and the Dutchman has 46. Both ships have a way larger crew than just 8-10 bone boys.
Hey Falcore, I hope you are reading this!
I was wondering if you have any plans for bringing the myth of the "Bald Lady" back to the game! I loved the Creepy Pasta around her and I believe it has so much potential, especially because most new players dont even about her yet!
What are your thoughts?
Yeepp, good Ol' Keggin' Ed calculated the keg math right, 8 kegs.
When the lore of the game has been so forgotten that Falcore has to play with kegs to make a video
To be fair, i've never consistently made lore videos. Just known for it.
@@CaptainFalcore It's probably just me having nostalgia for amazing lore videos...
You forgot to put your planks at the front of the bottoms if they run out the skelly will go to the next one that is more close
You know what I think Timmy deserve in a promotion😂
Ha that’s funny because for me, it only took one keg and a few cannon shots to sink or defeat the burning blade
wow even the candles got turned of by the water
2:03 well an hour ago, I claimed my own solo with one keg and a volley of scattershot. I imagine 2 kegs for player owned?
New to the game and my crew ended up on the burning blade…..the ship is strong enough that a brand new players terrorized the server, we won like 3 ship battles.
Couldn't tell you how they did it and it was broken as hell but I watched somebody take the burning blade into the sea of the Damned and complete The third tall tale with it
I guessed 5/6 god damn this thing is a tank
Black Pearl can fight the burning blade, now it’s a good fight and sure the burning blade may have the upper hand however the crew of the black pearl is a game changer, Jack Sparrow and Gibbs with jacks crew, they easily outsmart the burning blade even if they have to run
The crew is definitely a game changer because the pearl has 32 guns compared to the 10 of the burning blade, and the pearl has enough men to man all of them guns. Unlike the 8-10 skellies on the burning blade.
The merchant alliance offers 30k for an orb of secrets even though everyone else offers 20k do you think this has any lore significance?
next video: how many megakegs sinks burning blate :D
I think a solid 15 to 30 kegs will do the trick
I have to ask, how many times did you "trip" trying to get out of the way of the kegs during the tests?! Haha!
You know when you ride down to the shrines you can hop past the lift and just parkor down faster
Oh I saw your Reddit post a day ago or two, showing the picture with the BB U took 😮
Timmy a real one!
if you spread the 7 kegs you could easily sink a crew if they didnt do rituals
I guess 20ish kegs, collectively that is.
Me casually saying 15 kegs hahahaha
Doesn’t the Dutchman have 10 canons on each side and 3 in the front, it would wreck the burning blade
It has 46 cannons total. 6 in the front, 20 on the sides. It would absolutely smash the burning blade to pieces. The black pearl has 32 guns and would also win against the burning blade.
what about mega kegs tho? 🤔
Now use the most powerful Keg and see what happens
For a fairer test wouldnt it make sense to put some mid deck too?
As a gallies main weakness is meglected 2nd deck holes
I was on the stream. Im SlyStrokShot. Ship go RAWR
I'm going 12 kegs, and on with the video
2:02 I'm gonna say 6 kegs
Im absolutely dog water at this game and I can count on one hand the amount of naval combats Ive won in my 200 hours of SOT, but one of those combats was against 2 sloops and a brig in the Burning Blade
So I'd say its pretty powerful
Oh c'mon, the skelly shrines arent that bad, i dont even bother taking the elevator, i just parkour down, grab the orb and THEN take the elevator
They're a thrill ride when you have the Burning Blade and you gotta get them done fast with 3 ships on your tail. Not so fun on a Custom Server with no players, and no gold or rep or commendations however!
But how many nuke kegs can it take?
all in, 5 kegs
If they were set off two at a time you could keep them from repairing
Today i saw the burning blade under command and there were being attack i went in solo and helped them afterwards they gave me a whole fotd
25 normal kegs, 10 stronghold kegs, or 5 Athena kegs.
Me and the boys in year 9 science practicals:
I don't know why i did this got me. 😂
If u spread the kegs more they would sink faster
I would still choose the black pearl.
8 kegs on a rowboat
How’s it do against a stronghold keg
But what about stronghold kegs?
I found out that the Burning Blade can pass through portals
My guess for kegs (normal) is 5
I beat burning blade in a brig while also fighting another brig with my friends so it can’t be that powerful
if the ships int the game looked like the black pearl id actualy play
First
I guess you are first
fast as always. I'm gonna get you someday tho
six kegs will sink it in one second by flipping it
How powerful is the burning blade in a kraken encounter I wanna see it fight a kraken
That’s isn’t gonna happen by normal means because the kraken only spawns when no world events are active and the burning blade counts as a world event
Like 4 kegs spread out
8 kegs a kegging
But 8 kegs on bottomdeck with lv 2 holes. But what if you dont have any holes and 8 kegs are bottom?
Ten normal kegs or five mega/Athena kegs
If you give me a keg I will not show mercy to anyone even my own ship
why custom servers tho? wouldn't safer seas work?
How many kegs? Eleventeen.
