Phuzzy, love your content, without your guides I wouldn't be half the pirate I am today. Been teaching new players on game mechanics on SoT official to carry your help around. Touching on this vid, if i may. Solo sloopers are at high risk of being attacked on these forts, sinking is almost guaranteed unless its melon heads that are attacking, but that's a rareity. So its essential for them to clear the fort as fast as possible. Following this logic, i HIGHLY suggest stacking the forts kegs on the top of the ramp(outside, the long wodden path going up, at the top of it) as there is enough kegs to blow up Graymarrow in 1 shot. Its a good spot to stack the kegs as it is easy to Line-Of-Sight the boss right on top of the kegs, also, its basically right in the middle of the island. Lob 1 granade of your choosing and the forts one and done. Feel free to test it out. Would love to know if you find it helpfull :)

[@magicpyroninja]

If you're doing your solo Fort of the Damned and you notice that there seem to be more skeletons each wave than there used to be. that means somebody's tucking on you

[@Sentiie]

I can't confirm yet but i think when you're solo there can only be 1 color active so that's another way to find out

[@arkangellll]

@@Sentiie There is only 1 color now regardless of crew size

[@Sentiie]

@@arkangellll damn fotd is now so easy that the only threat is a crew better than yours

[@t0mbst0neyt]

I'm not sure if this is the case I think the skeletons gain more HP, I don't think more spawn, I could be wrong on this though just be on the look out for either happening

[@megnugget2631]

@@arkangellll What?? The reason I didn't do fotd solo before was because 3 lights was annoying. 2 was fun and when I had a crewmate we'd shout color combos like red white and blue for murica

[@PhuzzyBond]

Thank you 😊

[@decepticonsoundwave297]

That tip with the burying treasure and throwing away the map near the end was such a good idea and tbh I'm gonna use that so much

[@JoshJonesPhotovideo]

A quick note on kegs: Risk vs reward! Reward: If you stack all the kegs from the fort in one quiet spot, you can later drag the boss past them and detonate for a insta-kill on him. This works even better if you're able to recover the kegs from the waves (specifically the stronghold ones in the final waves) and add them to the pile. RIsk: You get nuked by a tucker who finds your beautiful pile of kegs

[@erikthaboi4958]

There is a few spots you can glitch the kegs into a rock or similar where they cannot be picked up again but it is still fine to lead the boss over, therefore removing said risk, this might be patched but im confident itll be possible to do somewhere as ive encountered the not able to pick stuff up bug in this update as well

[@cyansorcerer6491]

That was an incredible display of tactical skill. As a solo player myself I've always struggled against even other solo players. Ill be sure to take as much inspiration from this as I can. Thank you.

Tip: There are different spots on fort of the damned where you can place kegs so that its not possible to move them or take them. After you placed all the kegs in one of these spots you lure the boss and blow them up.

My husband has been demolishing these and I’ve still yet to try one… I’m the unlucky soul who always ends up with a bunch of Lazybeards who just want to wait for their chance to move in and take my well earned treasure away from me. Unlike my husband, I’m not a PvP Legend and honestly, they can sink you while you’re finishing and steal your stuff while you’re trying to come back and there’s little you can do about it (not that I don’t try, I’m not a quitter). Watching this makes me want to try. I go in thinking “If you lose it all, learn something and do better next time… If by some miracle you succeed, you’ll have quite the tale to tell! Won’t hubby be proud?” 😅

Do buried treasure despawn in a server merge?

[@LordLemmysLabs]

The last time a friend and I did FotD, a one of us blew up a keg inside the main part of the fort to kill the skeleton captains, and we both got the deed/trial completion for "killing another player with an emissary" or something like that, so we were both like "Guess someone was tucking on us lol, don't have to worry about it now, though." Weird thing is... we were Reaper Grade 5, there were no other emissary ships aside from another grade 5 reaper LITERALLY on the other side of the map, so the tucker had to be from that ship, but its odd the ship didn't stick around a little bit closer.

Huh..I thought it was the moment the color changed that was the trigger to reveal the skellys, this changes things...and I didn't even think of just leaving it on the floor lol..had a crew mate hold it I really hope this is an intended function and they don't remove it.

Ship decor can be accessed at the chest at the shipwright. Each box/chest/cabinet should have pictures that show you what they contain along with their specific designs to differentiate between each other. If you have done this, then you could try to close out of the game and run it again, it may be that the game just hasn't loaded the models yet.

[@ultmateragnarok8376]

FotD was, honestly, fine. The nerfed Greymarrow (now identical to that one voyage from.. Fate Of The Damned, I think? Where his ghost showed up again) is alright, and I do enjoy seeing him at least able to use his sword since it was only that one limited-time voyage before that let it happen, but the skeleton change is so annoying. They also take increase damage from the pistol, dying in a single 50 damage bullet, yet taking three 25 damage sword swipes to kill (or one 60 damage lunge). Very odd. The multiple colors was one of the hardest parts of the fort, making it a challenge that required planning, communication, and became easier the better a large group you had, but now it's tuned for solo, for no good reason. The inclusion of captain waves was the only particularly good change to it.

Ok. So I sail up to the fort and see a sloop and brig doing the fort. I consider swooping up the gem on his deck and bolting, but I've never seen the fort done, so I park up beside and head over to offer unrequested assistance. But it's finished as I move up and announce myself to avoid scaring them. ...free credit somehow for being on the island, yay! As they mild panic as they are very vulnerable and just found out they have company, I kindly head to my ship they're just now spotting, pop into their alliance, and decide to engage the skelly sloop patrolling way too close so they have a path to sell, not taking his loot. ...I'm a bit of a care bear. I continue my petty hoarder treasure voyage. Apparently they sank some brig near me as ai see 3 ships pass close by in formation and later hear shots that panic me with my riddle. And they salted... cuz they return and sink MY ship... for the single skel-sloop loot. They're wondering where Dixon is. ...now let me tell you why they are fools. 1: My ship is named Vengful Spirit... did you WANT a 3rd enemy to join of an unknown skill level? The only one that left you be? 2: ...if you wanted to find dixon, you just sunk the map that would have told you EXACTLY where he was in real time. OR you could have sailed close, joined the alliance, and had YOUR map tell you where they were and you could set up the perfect attack plan. ...or you could upset a person who instantly thinks up such devious strategic plans. Sink one while they are separated, busy, and vulnerable... sailed towards an outpost, dropped alliance, then change course for a different outpost and hoped they saw your misinformation and went the wrong way looking for you. Luckily for them, I had no time for salt. But I got their name, and their day will come next time we cross paths. ...because I have my 6th kid on the way, and I don't get much time to play. I promised "one round" and I violate that promise if I didn't quit after being sunk. I had to watch my baby. ...but the Vengful Spirit remembers. The Vengful Spirit will have its revenge. The vengeful spirit wants to be left alone to PvE while it friggin gets the chance and wears the Hunter skin to let ya'll know that. The vengeful Spirit will ram you with gunpowder and sink us both just to watch you suffer. Your day will cone no matter how long it takes. Remember that next time you want to abuse the care bear. That name isn't arbitrary.
