World Events and Tips
Learn about dangerous events and how to survive them.
Dangerous World Events
Sea of Thieves includes exciting world events that can happen while sailing across the map. Players may encounter skeleton forts, ghost fleets, megalodons, or the powerful Kraken. These events give crews a chance to earn treasure and rare rewards, but they also create danger.
Many players fight over these events, so crews must be prepared for both enemies and other pirates. Before starting a world event, it is smart to gather supplies, check the horizon, and make sure the ship is ready for battle.
The Kraken
The Kraken is one of the most feared enemies in Sea of Thieves. It appears suddenly from the ocean and traps ships in dark water. Large tentacles attack the ship and can pull players away from their crew.
Crews must repair damage, fire cannons, and work together to survive. Defeating the Kraken can be challenging, but it is also one of the most memorable battles in the game.
Helpful Tips for New Players
New players should always watch the horizon for enemy ships and keep supplies stocked before leaving an outpost. Learning how to repair the ship quickly is important during battles. Crews should also turn in treasure often instead of carrying too much loot at one time.
Good communication and teamwork are the best ways to survive and become successful pirates. New players should also learn island landmarks, practice map reading, and improve cannon aim to make battles easier.
