Golden Sands is SAVED

But did your vote really matter? Why did it have to be Golden Sands? How did the Reapers respond to this? Oh, and there is also some murder mystery going on.

[@The_Gardara]

It's always been obvious to me why Golden Sands was picked, and that's because of it's historical significance, this is the outpost where The Pirate Lord held his legendary parlay with Grey Marrow, Captain Shaw, and Briggsy, which while interrupted by a Kraken attack, and by The Gold Hoarder's betrayal, was the start of Athenas Fortune and the more organized Sea of Thieves we know today, Golden Sands sits as a monument to all the Reapers Bones wishes to destroy, so it's only logical they would go for it first as a show of force.

[@killzone1401]

Nah they picked Golden Sands cuz people love that outpost, and probably because it’s only 1 of 2 outposts that doesn’t have a specific npc for a Tall Tale like the others.

[@The_Gardara]

@@killzone1401 When people talk about why Golden Sands was picked there are two realities, why it was picked by Rare and why it was picked in the lore, what you stated is why it was picked by Rare, but that's not what was being asked.

[@stephenvp]

It was an epic battle alright. I never ran into another player doing the tall tale.

[@astrorialunaris]

I suppose that would depend on when and where you did it. I know I encountered a few reaper's path people on my rum runs. they usually lost, but they tried and the fights were always at least a little bit interesting.

[@j-train13]

An interesting note I'd like to point out, on the Sea of Thieves website when talking about Merrick's victory, they say "Long live *New* Golden Sands" implying that there's going to be drastic enough change to warrant adding that "New" to it

Only reason i’m keeping up with the mystery is to not potentially miss out on another random cosmetics like that Fallen Sea Dog Lantern. Who even gives a shit that Demarco died, he’ll respawn.

[@Clankio]

Yea, I kinda lost interest in the mystery after seeing it was time gated behind Twitter retweets and replies. Especially since it starts right as the Lost Sands adventure was about to start. So I just focused on saving Golden Sands and I will wait for a KZbin video that tells me the next part of the mystery has been unlocked and if it gives anything cool like the lantern.

[@PichDextro]

Shows how invested I am into the game... didn't even know DeMarco was dead. It's like WoW, you can't afford to not follow the lore for even a single second. You instantly miss everything important and have zero clue what happened.

bro your commentary on all this shit is killer. Best laugh ive had from a SoT video in a hot minute.

[@oshawott5308]

I forget which NPC but one outpost NPC makes it known that there's an underwater door somewhere around wanderer's refuge, maybe that's alluding to the burning blade being there or more flameheart stuff.

[@hlibushok]

Ok, so hear me out: De Marco is either still alive, or he was killed by the Reapers. Sea Dogs and Reapers definitely didn't like each other due to their different views on PvP, that's probably the reason why the Arena closed in lore.

Around the beginning of the pandemic the map bugged out and showed me a very different looking golden sands with a new name and a whole new island right above plunder valley I tried tweeting at them but got no response I kinda just forgot about it until this event now I cant help but wonder if the two are connected 🤔

[@xpscrazykiller2]

I saw something similar a while before this adventure, I brushed it off as some scuffed map bug though

[@dirkechoes1377]

No one may have thought Golden Sands was going to go back to an identical state but it looks like it might end up that way. I don't know, I'm far more disappointed by the mystery being dull and impossible to solve without waiting on rare drip feeding us clues

[@Sayuta]

Pianos killed Demarco

[@Knuffeldraak]

It's strange that they say Merrick had won, despite their earlier statement that any deviation of 5% would result in the 'stalemate' outcome.

[@Tatsers]

2:52 Well it's not actually there anymore, Wanda got angry and destroyed it, makes sense when you think about how Flameheart treated her

[@atomicqgang8921]

I think the only reason merrick won is cause the reapers weren’t down to do weird missions they just want pvp

[@IllBushido]

I think the reapers would have centered the capstans if they had won the battle.

[@Volzarok]

That's the same reason i don't care about the mystery anymore. If i can solve it in the game, nice, but if i have to do free advertising for the game and outside of it, hard pass for me Rare.

Reasons why you should like Golden sands 1: its in the shores of plenty 2: it has the highest barrel count of any outpost which means its the best to stock up 3: all of the trading companies are very close together minimizing the time it takes to sell The real outpost you should hate is Dagger tooth
