Fighting the burning blade in Sea of Thieves

[@konah4547]

Is there any way you can tell when the Burning Blade is captained by skeletons and not players? I'm still semi-new to SoT.

@@konah4547If you check on map table, it is crewed by players if it has a reaper emissary flag on it and the the ritual counter on the bottom. Another way is that once you approach the burning blade, it will tell “crewed by skeletons” if the burning blade has no reaper emissary.
