We’ve all dreamed of living the pirate life at least once, andSea Of Thievesis one of the best games out there to put this into practice. While playing this game, you’re left in a giant open world filled with various islands, and you can choose if you want to play with other pirates orjust with your friendsin exchange for fewer rewards.
Before doing all this, however, the game makes you go through the Maiden Voyage, which is essentially the tutorial. However, it’s not a straightforward one and you’re able to easily get stuck in it, which is why we’re here to help you.
How To Get Your Weapon
As soon as you start the tutorial, the first thing you’ll see is a ghost of the Pirate Lord appearing in front of you. After a bit of dialogue,he’ll ask you to eat something to get in a better shape. To do this, you may simply open your radial menu by showing the button on your screen and then selecting the banana at the top.
Eat the banana and he’ll then have a dialogue to dress you up with a weapon, something that’s quite important for a pirate. Once this dialogue ends, you’ll see a bright shiny spot on a tree in front. Head up to the tree and interact with it to get the cutlass, and you’ll have to swing it a couple of times afterward to defeat the skeleton.
How To Find Pirate Lord’s Treasure
After getting a weapon, you’ll have to meet the Pirate Lord at the beach to get the hardest quest on this tutorial mission. He’ll give you ashovel and a map during the dialogue and ask you to locate his treasure. However, this map doesn’t tell you your current location, so you have to understand the island’s shape.
Treasures can get much more difficult to find in the actual game, but this one is fairly easy. Simply head to the edge of the beach on the left side and dig on theright near the water as soon as you reach a gap between the grass. Your tutorial will also update and ask you to bring out the shovel once you’re at the correct place.
You’ll have to dig the treasuremultiple times with your shovelbefore you may pick it up and take it back to the Pirate Lord.
Once you get the treasure back, the Pirate Lord will open it and let you claim the equipment inside,which is where you get a Flintlock andvarious other items. This is where he asks you to explore the island and get back to him when you’re ready. However, this is completely optional and you can continue the quest instantly after.
It’s recommended to go back inside the island and climb the shipwreck. You can find five Cannonballs in a barrel within, anduse it to shoot the cannon at the top. The first shot from this cannon will earn you the “Saluting The Pirate Lord” commendation.
How To Repair The Ship
The final part of this tutorial takes you to your ship and asks you to repair the mast. To do this, you first have to head to the topmost part of the ship near the wheel andinteract with the ropes connected to the mast. One-click on it and you’ll be able to drag the mast upward until it reaches the right position.
Once there, head down to the bottom part of the ship and take wood from the barrel in the middle.Use this wood to repair three spots on the mast. Afterward, you’ll have to take your bucket out from the equipment wheel and throw the water inside the ship into the ocean.
These are some of the most important mechanics in this game, so it’shighly recommended to remember them.
As you fix everything, you’ll just have toraise your anchor, lower the sails, and touch the wheel to set sail. Keep following the cyan light on your way forward and you’ll eventually reach the end. However, while you’re doing that, some enemies will spawn around the ship.
While these enemies do hurt your ship in the actual game, they won’t do anything during the tutorial. you may simply stand and watch themuntil they disappear or use some cannonballs to shoot at themand make your aim a bit better.
