Im doing my first playthrough of the shores of gold and its quite cool so far! Cant wait to play them 40 times! (Tbh they should have REALLY made it 3 completions after adding Heart of Fire.)
Congratulations Jon! Im sorry I couldnt finish the stream! It is an epic journey to the gold curse, and now it is another curse to add to your collection! PS: upload a full video of ballad of the mer please!
Awesome story! My wife was going for the gold curse and I remember helping her through some of these things - back when the battles didn't scale! I kinda wanna try it now lol
Man I loved the stream attached to this incredible journey! Jon is the most connected to his chat than any other I've seen. Congratulations on the curse Jon, You earned it!
The grind without checkpoints was horrible. But still great times and great memories I didn't stream alot of my progress do to not believing in myself but to have a small following a a couple friends enjoying my playthroughs makes it worth and I thank you and many of other content creator's awsell for inspiring as many as yall do
I've had a couple crew mates but for the most part I'm always solo but what I was explaining was tall tales of past didn't have checkpoints so its was a slight bit more time consuming due to a number of variables
@@JonBardcore Yea I've spent a straight month grinding it with my friend and even with it all taking worth about 25 hours of in game gameplay it felt like 7 weeks of in game time. Feeling the finishing of it and the reward is amazing.
Wasup Jon, witnessing this on your stream was a treat and honesty I am currently working on my gold curse. It is a tough one to achieve. However I'll still be rocking the sunken Kingdom curse for the lore of my character. Have a great day cheers 🍻🍻
I feel your pain when negotiating the parkour and spike parts on your way down to the final vault.... It was soooooo frustrating for me. I found the more I tried to take my time, the more I was trying to speed run to the last part that I got myself killed in. Hahahahaha I even rage quit one session & went back to it the next day Hahahaha. Keep up the great content Jon 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Incredible video Jon i have zero doubt in my mind your going to blow up there is a lot to take away from your pacing, thumbnails, and overall quality very good video. Congrats!
you can do it with 2 completions instead of 5 with 3 friends, just all do the a tall tale until the final chapter. each final chapter is just handing in an item. then you'll all have a checkpoint for the final part. one person places their quest down and everyone leaves, then one person finishes the quest. now another person joins and they use their checkpoint. repeat until you've used all your checkpoints, and then just do the tall tale again, and boom, 5 times completed for everyone for said tall tale
Oh, I'm absolutely aware of the checkpoint cheese method. And normally I'm all for cheesing. For this one though... this one I wanted to do it 100% legit.
Wish me luck, mates. I’m gonna do the grind solo. Had a crew but they all left due to one reason or another. So it falls to me to carry out this outrageous task. After all, the gold should be mine…
I still need to do my SoG Comm grind. I've already completed all the Tall Tales at least once, including getting the Journals for them. I just need to do the rest anywhere from 2-4 more times. Luckily, I'm already finished with Shroudbreaker, The Cursed Rogue (rocking the OoS Curse), Legendary Storyteller, and Revenge of the Morningstar. I think the most annoying, outside of Revenge due to constant Skelly-script deciphering, will be Art of the Trickster and Trap navigating with a Keg Key
@@JonBardcore I was more referring to the trap traversal once you get the Keg Key to Sailor's Bounty. Sure you can easily negate most of the traps by avoiding the presssure plates, but there are still the wall spikes, which you'll also need to traverse back through once you get the Vault Key. Either that or die, respawn at your boat, and then cancel and replace the quest to put the key onto your ship via the checkpoint reached once the Vault Key is obtained
Additionally, what I find funny is that my older brother already has the Gold Curse despite him not playing as often as I do. Though given that it's PvE content and he dislikes doing PvP, I shouldn't be too surprised
I gotta get this curse, it’s the only curse I’d use besides the ashen curse so why not but the only thing preventing me from doing this more is the repetition 😞
@@JonBardcore that’s another thing that also keeps me from getting the curse, right now I have two curse the sunken curse and the ashen curse and the ashen curse for me was tougher mainly because I was getting attacked the whole time but otherwise it should’ve been pretty easy
After I did the solo grind, I wore the curse for about a week. I don't like it. Than I did the Curse of Sunken Sorrow. I wore that for a little bit. I just got both pvp curses. I'm working on the ashen curse now.
It sucks that Rare neutered the gold curse itself from being completely random to being one of a few presets. Personally, I would've kept it random but made it so the higher your Gold Hoarder rank the more it would cover you
I did the last mission 5 times yesterday after painfully doing all the tall tales 100%, It bugged and I got nothing, now I have to wait 48 more hours before I can contact support again.
Yet I have no idea why would ppl do the same exact tall tale for 5 times each. I mean I did that manually before I found out about the checkpoint method and I'm so glad I have friend to help me with that. I like doing the TT but repeating it for 5 times? I'd rather spend my time to grind another comms or make money
Im trying to get this now...i will take my time though i dont really wanna use it xd just want to have it...the trapmaster one gonna be the worst to 100 for me...most people i know dont like the sunken curse but thats my favourite and gonna be the one im using most of the time
Why does everyone dread this so much? I find most of the other grinds to be way more painful and repetitive. Like delivering all those animals or doing 100 vaults
I think it's because even with delivering animals and vaults, you can stack them. But with tall tales, unless you're checkpoint cheesing, it's a grind for sure
With all due respect. I’d say Legendary Hunter of the Sea of Thieves is worse. More people have the Gold Curse than that title but I this is the second worse thing to grind by far.
@@JonBardcore Oh, heck no. I think I've done 4 or 5 tall tales ever. Still have no curses. Heck, I still don't even have rep level 50 in more than 1 thing lol.
Realistically it would take like 40-50 hours of play if you go in blind, but I assume he was putting it off, for a good reason too. It’s really repetitive and boring to do so many times.
Gold hoarder is the king of all discord mods in sea of thieves i mean all he does is sit on that chair
Hahahaha, and grumble about how flesh is weak!
I would say it's the pirate lord, i mean he also has the shape of a discord mod
@@Tunneltav yeah but once every year the pirate lord steps outside so he can't be a discord mod
Im doing my first playthrough of the shores of gold and its quite cool so far! Cant wait to play them 40 times! (Tbh they should have REALLY made it 3 completions after adding Heart of Fire.)
Good luck to you on your Gold Curse grind!
Congratulations Jon! Im sorry I couldnt finish the stream! It is an epic journey to the gold curse, and now it is another curse to add to your collection!
PS: upload a full video of ballad of the mer please!
Thanks Puffle! It was really fun to do. Glad you were a part of it.
I don't think anybody but John was able to sit through the whole thing
Actually I was standing, since I game at a standing desk!
Awesome story!
My wife was going for the gold curse and I remember helping her through some of these things - back when the battles didn't scale! I kinda wanna try it now lol
Give it a shot! If you've got someone to play with, all the better. 👍
I remember getting this curse before all the checkpoint stuff. It was a nightmare.
The grind was certainly REAL back then
Keep up the absolute quality videos Jon!
Aw, thanks Oliver. Will do my best!
Man I loved the stream attached to this incredible journey! Jon is the most connected to his chat than any other I've seen. Congratulations on the curse Jon, You earned it!
Thanks Coozie! And thank you so much for the compliments about the stream. Really glad they were enjoyable
@@JonBardcore thanks!
Congrats John! I just got my gold curse about 3 weeks ago. It was a grind but I didn’t start it till this year
Congrats on the bling, Conner!
4:53 "Wait, where did that come from?" I genuinely had the EXACT same reaction, albeit a bit more profanity, my first time getting hit by that trap
Soooooo many times that damn trap got me.
Congrats I can't wait to see what curse you get next!
Thanks Sealord!
I have just come back to this video since you inspired me to get my golden curse! It took a lot of patience to obtain but was worth it!!!
Congrats, hope you're still playing today!
@@JonBardcore still am!

If you play the Tall Tales with friends it does make it much better than doing them solo, for sure!
I've had a couple crew mates but for the most part I'm always solo but what I was explaining was tall tales of past didn't have checkpoints so its was a slight bit more time consuming due to a number of variables
But always a adventure no matter what lol
Congratulations Jon! Love the bling!
Thanks Joseph!
Congrats Brother!🎉
Thanks Ghostputty! Appreciate the love.
I just got the gold curse like 20 minutes ago and started in 2019 (4 years ago) that coincidence is insane. Good job, this mission drove me insane.
CONGRATS CARL! Doesn't it feel soooooo good? :D
@@JonBardcore Yea I've spent a straight month grinding it with my friend and even with it all taking worth about 25 hours of in game gameplay it felt like 7 weeks of in game time. Feeling the finishing of it and the reward is amazing.
MAN, when I did the revenge of the Morningstar, I became so good at reading the Sceleton code that I no longer needed the translation page.
Hahaha, for me it was just remembering the few locations I had dug up the treasures previously and hoping one of them was the right spot
Wasup Jon, witnessing this on your stream was a treat and honesty I am currently working on my gold curse. It is a tough one to achieve. However I'll still be rocking the sunken Kingdom curse for the lore of my character. Have a great day cheers 🍻🍻
Good luck on Gold, Olympus!
Glad to be here for the whole journey!
Glad to have you as part of it, Grahamathan!

Dude, sometimes you just get in your own head about it, ya know? Thank you for always watching Rob!
congrats dude! I'm making the journey right now, though i'm just doing every tall tale 5 times in a row instead of the whole thing multiple times lol.
You got this! Hope you earned it by now!
Incredible video Jon i have zero doubt in my mind your going to blow up there is a lot to take away from your pacing, thumbnails, and overall quality very good video. Congrats!
Aw man, that means the world to me DaBinBin, you have no idea. Thank you so much!
@@JonBardcore No problem keep grinding im rooting for ya!
Welcome to the club brotha!
Thanks Hexxy! A great one to be in. 😁
Not many pirates have sat in that throne, good job man
Thank you thank you!
congrats brother, thanks for sharing your adventures with us!
Thank you for watching them!

@@JonBardcore i respect it man
actually it can be done once if you get the checkpoint on an alt account
Respect to anyone who did this without a guide or the checkpoint exploit.
Especially trying to translate those damn skeleton runes. Those were THE WORST
Congrats, I finished mine last year, and yeah, it's quite the grind.
Do you rock it on your pirate or have you moved on to another one?
@@JonBardcore I did for a while, after all, it took a lot to get, but I've gone back to the Pirate Legend curse since season 8 hit.
*Shores of Gold Curse awarded*
Kill me...
Have you done it? :D
Yes
Wish me luck, mates. I’m gonna do the grind solo. Had a crew but they all left due to one reason or another. So it falls to me to carry out this outrageous task. After all, the gold should be mine…
Hope by now you're rocking the curse with pride!
I hate that corner too jon😢 raged so hard on my first run
It's the tops of the spikes, they have like an invisible extension
I still need to do my SoG Comm grind. I've already completed all the Tall Tales at least once, including getting the Journals for them. I just need to do the rest anywhere from 2-4 more times. Luckily, I'm already finished with Shroudbreaker, The Cursed Rogue (rocking the OoS Curse), Legendary Storyteller, and Revenge of the Morningstar. I think the most annoying, outside of Revenge due to constant Skelly-script deciphering, will be Art of the Trickster and Trap navigating with a Keg Key
Art isn't that bad once you kind of memorize the most frequent of the riddle locations.

Congrats on the curse!
@@JonBardcore thanks man you too 😉
You could just cheese it with checkpoints
Sure, but the GLORY!
AYE! It also took me 4 years to finish it, congrats man!
Thanks Kuro! Our grind is OVER!
I gotta get this curse, it’s the only curse I’d use besides the ashen curse so why not but the only thing preventing me from doing this more is the repetition 😞
The repetition was rough, for sure. But I did notice the tall tales got quicker just through rote memorization. So long as no one else bothered me...
@@JonBardcore that’s another thing that also keeps me from getting the curse, right now I have two curse the sunken curse and the ashen curse and the ashen curse for me was tougher mainly because I was getting attacked the whole time but otherwise it should’ve been pretty easy
@@DreAdedXiles if u still trying to get the Gold curse and if u play on xbox i can help my gamertag is webpirat2604

You must be rocking Gold PvP curses by this point yeah?
I can relate to failing the traps
So rough sometimes!
Congrats john your one of us now😁
Thanks! Now I can cook!
I am still on this journey too. its a grind for sure
You'll get there!
The stream was amazing 😂💯
Thanks Hem, I'm glad you had a good time of it. Need to do it again. :)
With toxie😂❤️
i did it with like 16 hours lol. good job man
Do you still rock it?
Congrats💪
Thank you thank you!
bruh i felt pain when i heard FOUR YEARS.
It was a thing 😂
YEAH SHOW OF THE BLING!!!
BARDCORE BLING REPRESENT!
I think the gold curse fits you well, as it's usually chill people that wear it
I do quite like the look of it on my pirate, Clam!
@@JonBardcore I might go fo it myself once I gain the hardest thing to earn in real life.
Free time
you did a good job jon
ME ON THE OTHER HAND HASN´T EVEN GOTTEN PIRATE LEGEND YET!!!
You'll get there Agent, for sure! Just gotta keep hitting the seas. :)
It’s hardly a grind with checkpoints now. I wish we still got to keep our original gold curses before they changed it.
Ah yes, the good ol'days. 😂
Every video he has that same telescope, and I want it. HOW DO I GET IT
The Ancient Spyglass is earned by completing all the Stars of A Thief tall tale commendations!
does it require one person the open the door from the inside when u use the cannon to get on top of the broken statue
I mean, you can do it absolutely by yourself. More people just means an easier time of that.
@@JonBardcore was just wondering since it could help to get through it abit quicker right
wow who could have guessed you got gold curse by doing the tall tales?!?! your title made it seem like there was another way?
Appreciate the feedback on the title! Been A/B testing various ones all throughout the day.
It sucks that Rare neutered the gold curse itself from being completely random to being one of a few presets. Personally, I would've kept it random but made it so the higher your Gold Hoarder rank the more it would cover you
Oooooh, that's an interesting method to consider! I kinda like that!
@@JonBardcore Now if only someone from Rare could hear about it. Now who do we know is in direct contact with Rare...hmmm.
Hey that’s very good, and cool, but golden PvP curses when 👀
Spooksters... you're killing me ; _ ;
@@JonBardcore hey maybe if you’re lucky we’d meet during your grind 😆
I did the last mission 5 times yesterday after painfully doing all the tall tales 100%, It bugged and I got nothing, now I have to wait 48 more hours before I can contact support again.
Wait whaaaat? So the Commendations are all unlocked but the curse isn't?
Nope, it didn't even register the commendations, I even have picture evidence of it
I did this with a couple of friends and through sheer will and an "exploit" we all got the gold curse.
Sheer will and exploit is a unique phrase combination lol
I think gold curse can be fully completed in around 200 minutes.. could be fun challenge,
With checkpoints, probably faster!
Congratulations
Thanks Samuel!
Congrats!!!!
Thanks Retro! The grind was real.
Wait it's been 4 years since tall tales released???? I hope they make a new one like pirates life
It has been four years, crazy I know!
Congratulation!
Thank you Kele!
I have respect for everyone who has the dedication and endurance to do this without the checkpoint method.
Appreciate that, right easy! It's tough to ignore the siren call of checkpoints but it makes this curse all the sweeter.
Yet I have no idea why would ppl do the same exact tall tale for 5 times each. I mean I did that manually before I found out about the checkpoint method and I'm so glad I have friend to help me with that. I like doing the TT but repeating it for 5 times?

hey wait... so you're telling me, i could have just USED CHECKPOINTS!?
@@KeyboardTarantula i wish had checkpoints when i did it aswell
@@Jransom008 Definition of work smart, not hard.
I did this without checkpoint cheeseing with a crewmate and did it in 5 days and it was a grind but so worth it
Whoooo! Congrats!
He did it, he actually did it
He sure did!
Yessir, remember me mah man?
Checkpoint method all the way. No way I'm spending time doing this thing over and over again XD
Hahaha, that's why so far only .37% of the playerbase has it!
Finally you have the gold curse now for it to sit and never be used 🍌🍌🍌🍌
Lol, maaaaaaybe
Got gold curse in 1 day, not hard.
But great video
Thanks for the compliment! I assume you went with the checkpoint method if it was done in one day?
@@JonBardcore agreed
@@JonBardcore yes if you don’t want to be a pro role player then just use checkpoints
Could u do one for squeleton curse
Grind HG, Earn Skelly. GGs!
This video is funny because I’m gonna get it in a few days I’m pretty late to the party!
I'm cheering for you Xsynx!
Worst PvE grind?
(Laughs in Merchant)
Nah, Merchant isn't too bad once you know the cheese.
Im trying to get this now...i will take my time though i dont really wanna use it xd just want to have it...the trapmaster one gonna be the worst to 100 for me...most people i know dont like the sunken curse but thats my favourite and gonna be the one im using most of the time
I like the Sunken Curse quite a bit actually!
i did it in less than a month
I respect your grind!
fun fact:
me and a friend did the goldcurse in 12 hours total
lol
Fun for you maybe. Very VERY sad for me. 😭
Why does everyone dread this so much? I find most of the other grinds to be way more painful and repetitive. Like delivering all those animals or doing 100 vaults

Thanks Cameron! 😄
YAAAAAYY MOR BARDCORR
Whoooooo, more me!
Wait what 10 to 12 hours? No checkpoint so you eat sleep and enjoy life? I geuss i stick to my fire and mermaid curse
The grind is real!
Now that be true riches
It's not about the gold.... it's about THE GLORY!
I would go for this curse but i have the skeleton curse and its much better imo
Can't wear my sailor fit with the skeleton curse, insta fail.
Apparently, the textures for jackets and belts look weird on skeletons since the insides of them are usually hidden
Did he say that it took 12 hours to complete ONE TALL TALE and that he then did them 4 times 12 hours each?
One Tall Tale *run* which is one playthrough of all those tall tales. But yeah, I can see the potential confusion there
@@JonBardcore ah ok..
Me who got it in a week: 😈
Congrats on the curse. Do you wear it normally?
@@JonBardcore thanks, but nah. in my opinion the grind isn’t worth it
With all due respect. I’d say Legendary Hunter of the Sea of Thieves is worse. More people have the Gold Curse than that title but I this is the second worse thing to grind by far.
Yeah but I actually like to fish lol.
why cant golden skeleton curse look like gold hoarder?
Better question: Why can't Gold Hoarder look more Golden?!
how did I NEVER NOTICE that his gloves have athena's symbol?
Wait, who? WHERE?!
@@JonBardcore the suspicious guy in the back of the tavern.
GG Jon
Thank you!
wow
now do skelly curse then I will be WOOOOW
Hahaha, we'll get there one day
Wait your now your pirate is actually blind I think you reconsider this glossy transformation
... Omg, you're actually right. What have I done?!
@@JonBardcore now you should blind other pirates by obtaining the Athena blessing
Blind them with your radiance of course!👻
worst of all for this grind. is that the curse is butt ugly
I wish they had left the randomization of the gold for characters when it first came out
Im doing this tn legit without checkpoints its tough
Definitely time consuming, yep!
I really dislike the whole 5 times nonsense. Some of these take FOREVER to do just once. But I clearly don't have to tell you that 😂
Did you ever get a chance to get it done, Turtles?
@@JonBardcore Oh, heck no. I think I've done 4 or 5 tall tales ever. Still have no curses. Heck, I still don't even have rep level 50 in more than 1 thing lol.
Trying to get the gold curse most boring thing ever
I don't think its boring per se, especially if you enjoy the lore
congrats! 🐵👍🏻
Thanks Monkee! It was a tough grind to do but in the end, banana strong!
😎👌
😁🍌
As Absolute Pixel said:
5 times? That's lazy game design
Love me some Pixel!
I don’t know why but your characters face in the thumbnail makes me feel uncomfortable
LOL, he's just a really happy pirate!
I did it in less than a week, I need help 😭
Nice! GGs, enjoy the curse!
wait... 4 years?
Realistically it would take like 40-50 hours of play if you go in blind, but I assume he was putting it off, for a good reason too. It’s really repetitive and boring to do so many times.
This is a no judgement on Bardcore zone!
now go get gold ghost or skelly
Working on it!
