Hitbo: “…and I didn’t look back” Also Hitbo: *looks back*

[@RagicaltheUnhallowedKnight]

Never trust a pirate😁

[@Pokemichael]

Imagine if you’re just fishing at fotd acting as a lookout, and all of a sudden hitbo pops up right next to you and also starts fishing

[@miik4y310]

Lmaooooo

[@cementcarnie4490]

Thanks Hitbo. Now how do I land every cannonball shot and hit every shot fired from all weapons? Lol

[@andrewhaberberger4903]

Practice, also for cannonballs there’s a whole guide 😊

[@AJthegold]

😂

[@rateit1474]

You can't as long as hitreg isn't fixed. But you can practise.

[@sloppypoo-]

@@andrewhaberberger4903 it was a joke

[@captaingig2]

The correct answer here is THE HAX

[@bustermcdougal9319]

for anyone who is interested we figured out those cupcakes - french vanilla cupcakes with strawberry jelly and strawberry buttercream icing - red velvet with cream cheese icing - chocolate with vanilla buttercream 🧁 Thanks again for fishing with us Hitbo! You're welcome on The Slammin' Clam any time!🙆‍♀

[@HitboTC]

Much love!!!!

[@sm0kyb0nez]

That part was SO FUNNY! And your cupcakes actually sound AMAZING! ❤

[@lordgigglesnort3845]

@@sm0kyb0nez I cracked up a bit

[@sniperjared]

red velvet is the winner

[@illusionaryheart3325]

Love me a red velvet cupcake

[@pali1H]

Also one of the most important things if you are going to make a long swim is to have a sword. Easy to run out of ammo or have them hear you if double gunning and getting sharknado'd.

[@treycherry1367]

also over heal before the swim.

[@arcdoes640]

If you’re being chased by a pvp ship and you have the time sometimes you can drop 1 guy with all chests stacked on the rowboat and try to hold the other shops attention on your main- it worked for me 1 time lol

[@jonatasaquino2188]

Did that once, but was soloing 😅. Ship sunk before I hit the outpost

[@OverlordZephyros]

You can sail to the red sea ... deny him the loot

[@ladderson_1]

Actually wanting to see a guide like this, always tried shenanigans like you but always failed, hopefully after this I’ll get better at thieving!

[@rateit1474]

Hitbo is an awesome pirate. I love him since he plays the funny way. He make great content, sometimes even out of nothing. I like to contribute with some of my thought on the approach. 3:07 If I have a bad mermaid spawn then I will go directly up on the boat and tuck asap as long as I hear nothing on the ship. If I hear something I will go to the Island and tuck on a rock or go to a tower, or maybe just wait for the guy to leave the ship. But if I have a good mermaid spawn and if there is a sloop or a brig I'll stay on the boatladder and listen, I try to localize the crews positions before I do anything more. I ask myself, "How many are shooting on the island, Is there anyone on the ship, did someone recently shoot out to the island, did kegs just explode? I also check if I see the island and in that case can I see anyone? If there is a galley or an alliance on the worldevent there will also be more eyes that can spot me or my merm so then I will not wait on the ladder unless I know somebody is on the ship. If I'm unsure if it is clear to board I will just climb up so that I can see without leaving the ladder and have a fast look. I need to add this also, If I can see a chat comment "I NEED HELP" I know at least 2 persons are most likely on the island. I got a nice hat. kq

[@huntmastergaming7049]

Keep up great content and your humble style great video

[@ImpishDelta]

awesome video, it'll be really helpful to have some idea what I'm doing when I try it properly though have to say, favourite part of the video was the cupcake discussion 100%

[@Spike.SpiegeI]

haha i love the ending!! Great guide

[@freefreekk]

Nice and chill video. Good thing with the thought process.

Congratulations on the 132k subs

[@BM-zi7zu]

Just started playing Sea of Thieves with a friend of mine. Doing shenanigans like this looks like so much fun.

[@HitboTC]

It’s the only way to play

[@DuskEalain]

@@HitboTC Once you embrace the chaos there is no going back. A lot of people have prized treasure steals, my prized steal is when I yoinked another crew's ship from the outpost and got into a fight with it.

[@smirkstudios]

Love it! Very cool!

[@HitboTC]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@deadly_dragonsin3564]

I would love to see you do a legend of the veil! I have yet to do one but soon!

[@jarvisnelson1878]

One thing I like to do when I'm solo and leaving my ship is to throw up an emissary flag so I'll get a free notification if my ship happens to sink while I'm tucking at the event.

[@HitboTC]

Only backfires if there is a reaper 5

[@DTAGAFFA]

@@HitboTC i think it backfires when ship sinks before notification 🤣

[@ThomasJJBarton]

Thank you so much !

[@papybretzel9394]

Hi Hitbo, thanks for the content, as always, huge fan :) Do you have any tips about "mermaid management", by there I mean, half of my tuck attempts ends up with a guy seeing a very akwardly placed mermaid, and when I try to get it moving, it ends up respawning in the exact same spot. How do you get arround that ? is this part of the "luck" you mentionned in this video ? Thanks in advance AllHailTheWhaleLord!

[@Bahaliel]

Great guide Hitbo, maybe now I'll be motivated to try tucking for the first time 😅😂

[@HitboTC]

You can do it!!! It’s so fun

[@deyonks35]

Great steals. And those cupcakes sound delightful.

[@mintberry6014]

Well now I’ll practice the sneak without steeling… and just see what kind of trouble I can get into.

[@supremetsaul5980]

So I'm new. Does the mermaid go away when ur on land or another boat? And also same question if your boat gets sunk. But you lived?

[@IronDogger]

Oh Mylanta! Holy moly I swear every video I watch of yours helps me realize how I get sunk so easily 😹🤪 love this game! So many ways to play! Gotta up my skillz! 🏴‍☠️☠️

[@raptorxd2146]

My favourite part was when they said its thieving time and they thieved all over the place.

[@trentonpatterson3559]

I know you didn’t ask but that’s a yay on the cupcake idea @13:14

[@kybalionis]

[@MadameCirce]

I just bought Sea of Thieves yesterday and I'm about to start my solo adventuring. Not sure if I'm gonna be a thief, but I'm glad I clicked on this video because the ending put such a huge smile on my face and earned you a new subscriber.

[@Riko0013]

Can someone tell me what are those sails on the sloop??

[@StrokeMahEgo]

Drake... Where is the Chest of Fortune?

I haven't turned in a disgraced skull in about a year. I always offer it as tribute to the Whale Lord on the way to turning in.

Tucking is definitely a big part luck; Did you HAPPEN to tuck on a hyper paranoid pirate who just coincidentally returned to their ship?

[@mikeyhamato1919]

I have been doing heaps of tucks my biggest problem is the stupid mermaid beacon that doesn't go away

[@kieranbrian777]

😂funny guy you are "honestly i think its a great idea" 😂😂😂

[@TheConspiratorist]

Impeccable rizz at 14:23

[@castun66]

What exactly do you mean by "playing offline?" Just that you're stuck playing solo?

[@TheVoidBeing]

Imagine if they released private servers for pvpve like safer seas, i could see all the solos playing tuck and seek with each other on it when they get bored.

[@moenorman6275]

Fuck yes on the jam in the cupcake.

[@mr.brightside7702]

Next time, use a rowboat to swim up to them and drop a few powder kegs on their boat and scream like the Demoman from TF2

i'm surprised they didn't shoot you. I have tried that before and I always get killed. LOL

WHAT was the other sloop doing though😂

[@zayszn]

anyone down to team up or make a crew ? Ik it’s pretty difficult being solo most of the time ( even having some trouble myself 😭 ) but I just recently started playing Sea Of Thieves & so far it seems like a lot of fun so far ! 👍🏼

[@jorgeraymason]

[@joaopedrobaker8841]

A little late but here is my tip: If you're doing an event an you see a mermaid that isn't obviously yours, there is someone there FOR SURE.

[@godfield33]

14:57 lesson number one, dont be a simp and lesson number two, if there's a girl on board its free loot

[@AJthegold]

Hitbo can you help me in factions pvp pls PS: pretty please

[@michaelhuegel4146]

Cool ig. You could make way more loot for your time doing just about anything else though lmao

[@HitboTC]

yeah... but that is boring

HOW DO YOU LUNGE? IT'S NOT INTUITIVE FOR ME

[@aaronchristie4053]

Nice video but just some thoughts about your mic placement. Your 'p' and 'b' sounds are VERY loud. 1:02 'Once you PHind yourself a rowboat' To make that a bit less impacting, maybe move your mic so that its pointed at your mouth from like a 45 degree angle from your mouth?? It should lessen those p's and b's. You dont gotta do it at all... just a thought!

[@HitboTC]

Good advice! Thank you!

[@Minecraftgnom]

But wait... All that for a chest that gives you 20k? Am I missing something here?

How about playing honestly and completing voyages to get rich? It's a proven fact that the richest players in the game are pve lords who play on alliance servers
