How to SURVIVE SOLO in Sea of Thieves (Sea of Thieves Guide / Tips & Tricks)

[@MrMeat788]

"Think like a pirate" is literally the best advice I got for this game when I was new. The second best advice I got was "sell often, it's not your treasure until it's sold"

[@HitboTC]

Yuuuuup

[@KaptainKhronic420]

We need to make that into the pirate code.

[@0005yuki]

this is defo my fav type of vid by u - love the commentary, mainly just the story line aspect of it tbh

[@HitboTC]

Thank you!!!

[@DeathGun12352]

Been watching you since I started playing SoT this Feb and it helped me alot starting off. Now im addicted to the game lol

[@MyOnlyTasks]

The accuracy and confidence on those chains were insane

[@whattheworld096]

LMAO, I was the player on the boat at 7:30. It was literally my first day playing, had no idea what i was doing. Ah, its funny I've came across this. It's funny seeing it in your POV.

[@animalsteele1]

The most important rule to survive as a solo player is to never attack Kevin…..ever

Hearing the thought process behind your decision making is extremely helpful

[@HitboTC]

Glad you liked it!!

[@justinmorgan4568]

I'm pretty middle ground. I like playing with a crew. But playing solo is where you REALLY test your metal and learn the game, as well as discover your weaknesses and learn. Thus making you a better crew member and captain in the long run.

[@DRK6ot]

Love the video! I enjoy it a lot. The first atack from the tower and the pulling with the harpoon was clever! Thanks for the great content

[@hebertjss]

26:20 THAT was so clever bro! GENIUS! I really enjoy the video!

[@HitboTC]

Glad to hear it!!!

[@zhac1103]

Ngl I love this vid cause this is how I started getting better at the game. I’ll never be like the sweats. Nope not me. But where I win out is in the creativity side. Being silly, talking my way out of situations, using the environment to my advantage (can’t tell you how many times I had people come after me and not see the giant rock they’re about to crash into). I take the fights to places of the maps people don’t want to got to like the devils roar next to an active volcano. Going into the fog just to anchor turn around an island. I just realized when people are after me seeing red they’re not paying attention to the other things around them.

[@IsoHexPrime]

I'm excited to see your content in a month. Season 14 being focused on stealth has me thinking of hitbo videos. You crouching, harpoon gun shenanigans, hiding your merm with the new fruit. This one was made for you bro

[@thomasnapier1738]

Love the video! The thing I can say as a solo player is creativity has won me as many fights as it’s lost me, but it keeps the game fun! Also, you’re never at a disadvantage because you have more game sense then 75% of the player base. You’re one of the most aware players on the seas which will always put you at an advantage. 🤙🏼

[@brunomatarazzo2713]

Thanks Hitbo!! I've played a lot of this game, but sometimes life gets in the way and your channel helps me with that itch to play again. Every time I came back to the game (like today) was because you made a sick video and got me HYPED!!! Thanks bro, much love

[@sychorick2272]

Another amazing Video hitbo! Before I joined the hitcrew, I hated the idea of playing the game solo, but thanks to you and your amazing community, 90% of my best steals have been while I was solo. I was solo for most of season 11, I’ll forever remember a very fun solo v solo v skelly gally I had during a fleet of fortune. I lost, but it was a nice experience I’ll never forget. Thank you for all your amazing tips and tricks sir! Keep the good work!

[@dalebirkenstock2580]

Awesome video! I'm 100% solo so these help quite a bit as I'm still trying to perfect my own set of attacks and defenses. Thanks man!

[@HitboTC]

Awesome!!

[@traedoebler792]

Loved this dude!! Would you consider doing an hourglass commentary?

[@HitboTC]

You would hate it… but let’s talk about it

[@Loo_Barberoo]

I have to say, the galleon pull from the outpost...that was perfect! Great content Hitbo, keep it going. Cant wait to see what cons and shenanigans you gonna pull with the new season update ;)

[@egblackfang]

This is why Hitbo is a freakin genious! Love these interactions.

[@Smallpox1590]

Some other tips... I am not near the fighter hitbo is, but, I am a bigger coward. A couple tips for running as a solo: Use the sloop to your advantage. Larger boats do not handle tight spaces as well so if you have to fight, fight in tight rock formations. And another tip, lead the other crew to shallow water. A specific spot I have circled on the map is to the east of reapers and has a large area around a small island that is very shallow and will beach a ship if they do not know the area. Have fun. Arrrr Goldbeerd

[@SchizoSizo]

Youre equally the same coward.

[@learnedeldersofteemo8917]

Bumfights!!

[@Imjrueb]

Love this style of video, gives us the thought behind the steals

[@HitboTC]

Glad to hear it!!

[@markamccormick160]

Great video! I appreciate hearing you break down your plays and what you are trying to accomplish when you do stuff.

[@HitboTC]

My pleasure!

[@MarkNarrations]

Just started the game so this is perfect! Thanks so much :)

[@ThSlackr]

All your videos are great! After saying that, this kind of break down helps solo players like myself learn more!

[@HitboTC]

I hope it does help!

[@beablos]

I had one of these the other day. It was 2v1, I was stacked and on the run. I took them down to devils roar and anchored them under an active volcano and fought them on their burning ship while my ship sailed off. It was great.

[@OrbPonderer14]

This man is cracked and a pleasure to watch!

[@HitboTC]

No YOU

[@liamattley2010]

I did the food keg thing once on solo hourglass. Was amazing

[@Mister_Blean]

You're a daggum legend and I love you for this.

[@itzkarma6150]

Definitely more like this please🙌 this will be so helpfull as a new player

[@HitboTC]

Roger!

[@rivertonrock]

Awesome video! More commentary and guides, please!🙏

[@DogZ3D94]

dayum thats impressive. well done

[@burgersmalls]

Always appreciate the insight!

[@benrinehart7776]

I’d love to see a video in this style of a heist. Maybe like a directors commentary of you and Green reviewing one of your best FOTD steals? It would be a great primer for season 14. And it would be nice to see Green on the channel again.

[@HitboTC]

Oh what a cool idea!!!! DANG

[@hipknotiq]

Love your stuff brother. Big fan of the videos.

[@TonyPascoal]

Love your videos, the commentary/story telling video style is really fun, but I wish you wouldn't spoil the tricks!ie "I went for a keg play, and it WORKED" Also idea for a video. Do the "do you want $200 or should we double it and give it to the next person" internet trend with SoT treasure.

[@miawalker2602]

Can't wait to watch it!

[@DrWallabyOG]

Fire. More Fire. EVEN MORE FIRE!

[@ScpMal01471]

Idk if you remember us, but several months ago our ship rammed into yours at a FoF, shouting "like, comment, and subscribe!"

[@jailkin]

I enjoy this type of "what's going on in my head" type of video. Only thing I'd say is maybe do smaller commentary clips more often or even give them while the gameplay is going instead of cutting to face cam.

[@HitboTC]

Oh that is good!

[@jamesgallant2112]

Also clever plays content are so fun

[@johnb2755]

I primarily go solo and the part I love the most are the ships of 2-4 people who talk sh*t after finally killing you when you have killed their whole crew multiple times. “You’re so bad”, etc. I find it hilarious because it makes them look bad either way lol

[@pickle_p1ckle]

Lmao this is amazing. Definitely subscribing!

[@HitboTC]

Welcome aboard!

[@dimo2081]

hey hitbo, how do you get so much supplies as a solo? Any tips for gathering quick sups?

[@SquareEyesProductions]

Great video, more like this please

[@HitboTC]

Ayeee

[@hansomr7511]

Love this!

[@Мемо-ь8е]

Yeah make more like this. Maybe more videos about how to move in pvp player vs player wise not naval wise.

[@Drvgantibus_TV]

How do you handle the siren? Is there no risk that they will see it and understand that you are still on the island?

[@MaurizioCrd]

More vids like this, please!! 😂❤

[@alrique_]

I need to learn to remember that I have more than just regular cannonballs. It really is my biggest downfall.

[@HitboTC]

Makes all the difference sometimes.

[@ioiiygagger0023]

Yaaaaas!

[@Tyler_Durden_562]

Solo sloop is definitely tough IF you ever run into another player in a server. 😂 I prefer to roll w a crew, but I've done and still do A LOT of soloing and rarely do I ever come across other ships......even when I do see ships and go after them, THEY RUN 😂 People act like pvp is HourGlass only these days. Don't care for streamers, but HitBOB is hilarious and also gives great advice like in this video 👍

[@HitboTC]

Much love!

[@Maya_Martian]

Love it do more!!!

[@svgsouthpaw4183]

Always hoping I get to cross paths with Kevin one day

[@hipknotiq]

You'd have to ram him for the laughs.

[@CabooseNor]

I can't wait to see what you can pull off with season 14. Really fun to watch you Jack Sparrow the shit out of bigger crews

[@HitboTC]

😂😂

[@dominicthomas1455]

Imo gallions are easier to sink/ tuck on. If I see a gallion as a solo I'm pretty happy about it. Brigs are 50/50 but sloops are usually a no go. Unless you have a new player sloop then I don't usually engage.

[@HitboTC]

even experienced crews get distracted from time to time

[@jailkin]

@@dominicthomas1455 yea, I mean I tucked in hitbo's ship today because he was distracted.

[@ByteBattleVideoGaming]

Ok, serious question though. How do you get that many supplies? I feel like I could spend a couple hours just raiding forts with a supply crate and not get that many

[@HitboTC]

I buy every time I go to an outpost, visit royal crest sea fort, and sink people and take their stuff

[@ByteBattleVideoGaming]

@@HitboTC thank you! It always amazes me how much stuff you have lol.

[@valentin-uf2no]

I NEED MORE hitbo brakedowns

[@HitboTC]

Mooooooore

[@Peanutso]

Nah your chain shot accuracy is insane

[@HitboTC]

All luck

[@RenegadeBilbo]

Oh nah, my position would have been every bit of given away cuz that chewing noise dude would've gotten cussed out. lol

[@sculder1013]

Does it never make you worry just leaving Kevin like that tho for such a long time especially with him on the move?

[@HitboTC]

Yup. It does.

[@OriginalYank]

The Big Hitbo Face in the thumbnail is the only thing that made me click 💯 %

[@tactfulredneck3937]

Hourglass = competitive High seas = Fun Piracy ❤

[@HitboTC]

Hourglass is far from competitive

[@Codinggambit]

I really enjoy the vids.

[@MaurizioCrd]

It's a streamer mode provided by the game itself...it masks other players real nametags using other prefab ones (which are always the same)...I guess it's for privacy sake

[@crewdawg2008]

It's an in game feature called streamer mode

[@lfyoung]

Just started this game and I’m a solo player. If the other group of people are on the island and you get on their boat. Can’t you just sink it or steal it and sail away?

[@MrMeat788]

Soooo many balloons. Blululullulul. Been a while since we got a commentary video if you don't count the Boxy Birthday Incident Explanation video LUL. Be nice to see these at least once a month or at least every 3 months. Good tips for swabbies and swabbie legends like myself.

[@HitboTC]

Appreciate the feedback! I liked making it. If people enjoy it I’ll make more

[@MattSmith-ut8fh]

that was some great pirating. tip of the hat for you sir.

[@HitboTC]

25:00 bro how did he got a lot of cannonballs ? any info about that please ? is he really grinding with time ?

Yes sir!

Is solo fun as a new player?

3:35 when i heard triangle I knew they were noobs 😂

[@jl123ist]

Can they lock you in the vault if they restart it?

[@HitboTC]

It’s a world event so they cannot do that

[@jl123ist]

@@HitboTC It would be cool if you could hide in the vault then while they were doing waves you could hide all the new treasure that spawned and make them think it was Empty.

[@cannibalking1014]

I wish I could team up with you 😂

[@MartinLipp-ku8zw]

how is your boat so stacked?

[@HitboTC]

I am a collector of supplies

[@rateit1474]

I have just started watching. My answer without watching is game knowledge. Yesterday I was solo. Went to an island to get more supplies while I let the ship go. When I returned to the ship it had 9 holes in the hull, 5 in the lower part and 3 of them was the largest hole size. The water was above the map table. Behind me there was a sloop that obviously had attacked my innocent meme fleet vessle. So I repaired the ship and sunk them twice. I used game knowledge to sink them both times, they were not able to catch me. never ever....

[@TankyWanky-Tanky]

Hi Hitbo

[@Oce.capcut]

hello hitbo

[@iGoatonPS]

I would have turned off my ps5 right away

[@Thamb0]

Advice-find a galleon crew that doesn't know how to fight or bilge. Win.

[@gabrielroy76]

The big question is.. did you end up taking the loot back and selling it?

[@HitboTC]

I gave it back to the galleon

[@MrRecon82]

I have hidden my ship and they came across it on either way to the fort. I did the mistake of leaving my row on my ship.

[@jamesgallant2112]

More content about comedic “ pirate how to”

[@pouetzpouetz7506]

Wait wait wait wait. All of this worked out it cause they didn’t pay attention to your mermaid being there in the first place

[@HitboTC]

Yup

[@Brendan123ization]

Fun video to watch but be honest, you had fun bodying new players and showing off some cool plays then decided after to make a video based around it lol

[@achimtillmann234]

...AlgoRhythm is a dancer... no1 is HitBo...as i said first

[@DoubleOGamer007]

The win condition is getting the treasure he says ... fort if the damn takes me 20 mins tops he ran around for most likely a couple hours this is not "playing the game" imo this is stupid very very stupid very counter productive ! If you want to pvp then hour glass ⌛️.... other than that jump servers with a dive and make that money without a streamer trying to get content or some pos toxic player with no life....

[@Rolex-s1f]

The answer for you is simple,have a friend like green or Isaac 😂

[@SchizoSizo]

u forgot to add portal hopping like a coward. since you actively do that solo.

[@OrbPonderer14]

You sound upset and that's prolly not the best use of your Friday afternoon :)

[@HitboTC]

Sorry... do you think I actually care about fighting people and not having fun and memeing around? I defend my treasure and fight as a pirate. My goal is never "sink everyone" but merely play, have fun, steal, and get away.

[@SchizoSizo]

You do care when i fought u complained it was a 2v1. Then u went to sell and i 1blundied u and stole all your loot. Your choice after that was to run to a portal. There was no memeing just running and hopping. There is 2 sides to the game. PVE'rs and the PVPers hunting them down. Your choice of words is calling PVPers "Sweats".

[@SchizoSizo]

@@OrbPonderer14 yes im upset i clipped hitbo dying and running
