It was amazing. Last night a galleon I joined on went and find a sloop to help us. We went back to get the shanty, and three other sloops were there! We all sailed to the battle together. We ended up losing two of the sloops, but won in the end! Truly was a fun experience, and I wish I had reason to keep fighting it
I wound up in an armada composed of 4 fully crewed galleons. It was a glorious battle. No casualties on our side, but that shark got pummeled with the full fury of hell. The party afterward... All 16 piled on one ship and sailed while chugging grog, playing shanties, and firing cannons in the air.
I've heard all of these shanties a million times, but I still can't get enough. Rare, you've done a masterful job with the music in this game. I hope it continues!!
Out from the shore there danger be, adventure it holds out on the seven seas. Nobody knows unless you know the pirate code, the danger the water holds... Out in the deep a legend sleeps, lurking and waiting for the perfect time to peep. Out of the water, teeth sharper than swords: Sail away fast before it boards. But nothing will keep us away from the deep. We hunger to find you, a trophy to keep.

The megalodon will fight again, swim another day my friend. The hunt isn't over yet, don't think that you will win. We will sail into the dark head to head. Nothing but a big ol' shark, do not fear or dread. We will have grog and fame, forever due our share! Surely there is nothing that will greet us with dispair! There is no return, for those who seek the one, who lives in the dark, they call megalodon. But we are forever due our share, surely there is nothing that will greet us with dispair.

Rare honestly all you guys I mean ALL of you have been doing the best job on a game I have ever played. Next time you guys put a new patch I would like to see that music box in the ships so everyone could work and the get to hear the beautiful shanties at the same time.
It's just a dumb idea honestly.. same with the pirate legend shanty.. "you've learned a new shanty BUT you can only play it HERE in this ONE SPOT..." really...?
When's 'For He's A Jolly Good Fellow' going to be available to players as a shanty? We hear it in the menus.. Can't wait for it and more. Current shanties are fantastic, but monotonous, unfortunately. Still, glorious tune here. Thank you, Rare. I'm off to sail for the seas.
How to summon the megalodon IRL: Step 1: Get a boat Step 2: Get speakers Step 3: Bring some friends Step 4: Bring some fishing rods Step 5: Go to the deep sea and stop your boat to fish. Step 6: Throw all the blood of the fish collected in the ocean. Step 7: Play summon the megalodon on the speakers. Step 8: *Wait. . .* Step 9: THERE IT IS. Step 10: Uh oh, you didn't bring any weapons. Well, good luck!
I heard the whistling, I love to whistle along while doing some writing, and when I heard the whistle I followed along, and took it a octave higher to see if I could hit the high notes
It's a custom for me to play this on the banjo in the downtimes on the sea in hopes of spawning the shrouded ghost. I know it does absolutely nothing but I just like doing it.
I can't wait for the campaign to end so I can (hopefully) play this tune without visiting Merrick! Also, the Megalodon Fight was amazing! Had a blast getting a large fleet together to take it down! #BeMorePirate edit: Please, oh please, for the love of all things, PLEASE introduce fishing, preferably as a new way to level up your Merchant Alliance reputation~ Or as a new type of healing option perhaps? (Do I hear fish barrels/crates?)
The Bradioactive Um, Merchant is the only one I have at 50, bc I hated it so rushed through a.f.a.p. But fishing in almost any game makes said game 100x better. Hell, it could soley be to get a new type of food (aka new healing item) and it would still be an awesome addition. Although if it worked like bananas do, it would still be somewhat used for Merchant Alliance, so aha! Newbies get help either way ^-^
Got screwed out of the items and achievement if there is one. Everyone else's unlocked just fine but when I went to turn in the quest after it was defeated it didn't give me anything. Super salty, it's harder to find people to do it with then to actually fight the damn shark.
*Please let us keep the shanty & add some form of gambling for crews! Whether with teammates or pirate strangers it would be awesome to have a dice or card game as pirates certainly would do that sort of thing!*
I had a challenge when I played this expansion. While we fought one person had to hold the song. If the song stopped, we let it kill us. We would swap the player by someone else joining with an instrument and the original player could heal and help out. It was difficult but we won
Damn i remeber 2 years ago when the megalodon got introduced fought it with 2 galleons and 2 sloops the good old days, Rare you did a very good job on the game
i love you guys for this :D i was yesterday about to record it on my own so i can hear it but it didnt work and i was sad, but now you made me so happy THANK YOU !
Summon the Megalodon Hear it roar Go back from whence you came Monster of yore The size of an iceberg Grit of Davy Jones The swimming king of the unknown Here comes the Megalodon Sail away We better go So that we'll see another day Keep your eyes open, don't look back Unless you wanna be its snack!
yeah, this used to be the only song I played in SOT on the good ol hurdy. I'm recently getting back into the game but it's hard since my friends all kinda quit
Rare you NEED to reward players for killing the megalodon after this event finishes, we don't want another annoyance where we get nothing. Make it drop whatever it's swallowed in the past e.g chests
I knew someone would be dense enough to reply this. If you read carefully I said AFTER THIS EVENT. You should be rewarded *every single time* you fight it.
Unfound first of all, no need to call me dense. I missed the after the event was over PART. I was trying to be helpful. Second of all, now that I know you said after, that would be a good idea, if it's a summon boss after the event still. If it is a random boss, it should be something to fear, not something to hope for because it drops loot. It would be like another skull fort.
You are dense. The Kraken is an ANNOYANCE in the game, it's not even close to something players fear. Once this weekly event is over, the Shark is going to become another kraken because no one wants to take the time to fight the same boss over and over and not gain any money or xp for their time.
I'd also like to see a variety of different fish with different rarities. Maybe some could have poison glands for dipping swords in to fend off unique enemies and another pufferfish could be the start to a hallucinogenic vision quest mission if you eat it.
I know everyone else is saying this, but I thought I would add more volume to the request: PLEASE make this shanty playable after the event is over! Of course, the description does say "A new playable shanty introduced in The Hungering Deep", so I am hoping that means it will be added to the shanty selection permanently. Great music!
Man, carrying the tune from Sharkbait to about 2/3 across the old map was brutal. But worth it. Wish they brought the summoning method for the Shrouded Ghost.
People still need to learn that each instrument has two modes. A lead and a follow, you can pass it around by pausing for a moment. This adds a lot more fun when playing music.
LYRICS there is a legend That lives beneath the deep A creature so massive So dangerous With teeth as sharp as swords The legend is true Summon the megalodon out from the shore there danger be adventure it holds out on the seven seas Nobody knows unless you know the pirate code The danger the water holds out in the deep a legend sleeps lurking and waiting for the perfect time to peep out of the water teth sharper than swords sail away fast before i boards but nothing will keep us away from the deep we hunger to find you a trophy to keep and all in our hearts we know that you are a bloodthirsty creature with scars for a feature teeth so deadly theres no time to screech the megalodon will fight again swim another day my friend the hunt isn't over yet don't think that you will win we will sail into the dark head to head nothing but a big ol' shark do not fear or dread we will have grog and fame forever due our share surely there is nothing that will greet us with despair there is no return for those who seek the one who lives in the dark they call megalodon but we are forever due our share surely there is nothing that will greet us with despair out from the shore there danger be adventure it holds out on the seven seas Nobody knows unless you know the pirate code The danger the water holds out in the deep a legend sleeps lurking and waiting for the perfect time to peep out of the water teth sharper than swords sail away fast before i boards
My favorite thing I did so far with this shanty is we had 3 people grab the shanty on their ships with each instrument and when each of them had the lead from being so far away we went back to the island and all three instruments had the lead
Have you guys thought about adding chain shot and grape shot to the list for cannon ammo? Or possibly adding smaller swivel guns that only shoot chain or grape shot? Another idea would be to add the meaning to each type of flag? Like the red flag for instance meant that no quarter would be given in battle.
Sibren Schoenmakers Meggy attacks sloops during the campaign, so the short answer is yes. He will have 4 spawn tiles on the map, which change every 15 minutes (Same as the kraken).
I so hope after the event we can all play this tune. I dig it
Oh yea my man! I think we'll be able to
YES PLEASE RARE PLEASE ADD THIS SONG! I'd give up both me peglegs to be able to play this over the rolling seas.
www.seaofthieves.com/forum/topic/61082/who-else-loved-merrick-s-tune
Hope it gets added and you can then use it to summon her on the open seas
William Haines once the current event is over it will just spawn randomly on the open seas like the kraken
The fact that you guys turned interactions from "shoot on site" to "create armadas" is quite impressive.
That they did it without changing any core mechanics is even more impressive. Just a flag, a megaphone, and an objective.
It was amazing. Last night a galleon I joined on went and find a sloop to help us. We went back to get the shanty, and three other sloops were there! We all sailed to the battle together. We ended up losing two of the sloops, but won in the end! Truly was a fun experience, and I wish I had reason to keep fighting it
I agree, I fought it again to help another crew and just for the fun of it but getting some loot would be great....
I wound up in an armada composed of 4 fully crewed galleons. It was a glorious battle. No casualties on our side, but that shark got pummeled with the full fury of hell. The party afterward... All 16 piled on one ship and sailed while chugging grog, playing shanties, and firing cannons in the air.
UGU Zach lord that sounds amazing
Make it a regular shanty after the event is over.
They announced today that after the end is over the shanty is being thrown in with the other ones which i am hyped about
Tedakin I'm from the future and I can tell you that it becomes a regular shanty
I'm from further in the future and just assumed this shanty had always been in the game.
This aged well :)
Yes
I've heard all of these shanties a million times, but I still can't get enough. Rare, you've done a masterful job with the music in this game. I hope it continues!!
My new favorite sea of thieves song! 👌
Bosun Bill 😢
I went to bed with this song in my head and a sore trigger finger from playing it so much lol
Aye
Out from the shore there danger be,
adventure it holds out on the seven seas.
Nobody knows unless you know the pirate code,
the danger the water holds...
Out in the deep a legend sleeps,
lurking and waiting for the perfect time to peep.
Out of the water, teeth sharper than swords:
Sail away fast before it boards.
But nothing will keep us away from the deep.
We hunger to find you, a trophy to keep.
And all in our hearts, we know what you are:
a bloodthirsty creature, with scars for a feature,
teeth so deadly, there's no time to screech...
The megalodon will fight again,
swim another day my friend.
The hunt isn't over yet,
don't think that you will win.
We will sail into the dark head to head.
Nothing but a big ol' shark, do not fear or dread.
We will have grog and fame, forever due our share!
Surely there is nothing that will greet us with dispair!
There is no return, for those who seek the one,
who lives in the dark, they call megalodon.
But we are forever due our share,
surely there is nothing that will greet us with dispair.
Out from the shore there danger be,
adventure it holds out on the seven seas.
Nobody knows unless you know the pirate code,
the danger the water holds...
Out in the deep a legend sleeps,
lurking and waiting for the perfect time to peep.
Out of the water, teeth sharper than swords:
Sail away fast before it boards.
copy paste huh I appreciate that my friend
The lyrical version STILL isnt on spotify
At least credit chewiecat
@@kosi5101 maybe cause it's not official
Please make this a song we can play after the campaign is over
XxEddieAnatorxX agreed fully
boi, do I have good news for you
Rare honestly all you guys I mean ALL of you have been doing the best job on a game I have ever played. Next time you guys put a new patch I would like to see that music box in the ships so everyone could work and the get to hear the beautiful shanties at the same time.
Cliffford great idea!
Never.
Chili
Thank you!!
Bro.... this is the best idea ever
Cliffford good idea!
Now are you gonna give us the shanty so we don’t have to get it off of Merrick every time?
The Flailing Melon that’s the point of the quest it makes it more challenging
Kai Sharpe After this whole event though, we should just be able to play it anywhere
It's been 3 days and you're whining already...
It's just a dumb idea honestly.. same with the pirate legend shanty.. "you've learned a new shanty BUT you can only play it HERE in this ONE SPOT..." really...?
kai thats not challenging that's a pain in the ass
When's 'For He's A Jolly Good Fellow' going to be available to players as a shanty? We hear it in the menus.. Can't wait for it and more. Current shanties are fantastic, but monotonous, unfortunately. Still, glorious tune here.
Thank you, Rare. I'm off to sail for the seas.
Also, Drunken Sailor. You can even hear characters hum it.
That'd be the shanty I'd play most if and when possible.
Oh. That's pretty cool. Thanks!
Obsidemon sadly it doesn’t sound as good, it only has the occasional “we shall sail together” part played, the rest is just those eighth note triplets
If it came out in time for my friends birtday, me and the rest of the crew will play it as soon as he enters the game.
There needs to be a soundtrack for this game.
Like if you agree
Sgt Palooggoo there is. Just go on RUclips.
NintenKid9000
Well, yeah.
But I'm talking mp3s and cds
Sgt Palooggoo this is the best I got. You’ll have to use this in the meantime. www.onlinevideoconverter.com/mp3-converter
NintenKid9000
Thanks
Ands it should be a free download for customers, since we've had SO many bugs and have been very patiently awaiting more content.
I don't know why, but I love this Shanty!
Mario because it is triumphant! The sea calls to you!
Who else has returned to hear this masterpiece in celebration of the shrouded deep?
Me
How to summon the megalodon IRL:
Step 1: Get a boat
Step 2: Get speakers
Step 3: Bring some friends
Step 4: Bring some fishing rods
Step 5: Go to the deep sea and stop your boat to fish.
Step 6: Throw all the blood of the fish collected in the ocean.
Step 7: Play summon the megalodon on the speakers.
Step 8: *Wait. . .*
Step 9: THERE IT IS.
Step 10: Uh oh, you didn't bring any weapons. Well, good luck!
There is weapons on the boat?
I heard the whistling, I love to whistle along while doing some writing, and when I heard the whistle I followed along, and took it a octave higher to see if I could hit the high notes
They just announced that the song will stay in the game!
It's a custom for me to play this on the banjo in the downtimes on the sea in hopes of spawning the shrouded ghost. I know it does absolutely nothing but I just like doing it.
😂 I honestly do that too. Maybe it increases the chance from 0.0000001% to 0.00001% lol
Such a Jolly tune for the absolute frightfest that follows...
I love this tune and I’m going to try to get my band director to get our band to play this. I’ll tell you how it goes!
How did it go?
Yeah, how did it go?
I can't wait for the campaign to end so I can (hopefully) play this tune without visiting Merrick! Also, the Megalodon Fight was amazing! Had a blast getting a large fleet together to take it down! #BeMorePirate
edit: Please, oh please, for the love of all things, PLEASE introduce fishing, preferably as a new way to level up your Merchant Alliance reputation~ Or as a new type of healing option perhaps? (Do I hear fish barrels/crates?)
i bet the megalodon had a big blast as well
The Drawing Board If I had to suffer with merchant so will you lol
The Bradioactive Um, Merchant is the only one I have at 50, bc I hated it so rushed through a.f.a.p. But fishing in almost any game makes said game 100x better. Hell, it could soley be to get a new type of food (aka new healing item) and it would still be an awesome addition.

Richard Ferris that means you didnt help in the fight at all
This song is kinda like sir robin song in the Holy Grail movie
Love this game everyone now is friendly and i've made lots of friends.however does anyone knows if they are going to add rowboats?
they should
they have already started internal testing
Where did you hear about this?
2 weeks ago it wasn't, but yeah I heard. Looking forward to it.
I come from the future, they added them.
*Please let us keep the shanty & add some form of gambling for crews! Whether with teammates or pirate strangers it would be awesome to have a dice or card game as pirates certainly would do that sort of thing!*
I had a challenge when I played this expansion. While we fought one person had to hold the song. If the song stopped, we let it kill us. We would swap the player by someone else joining with an instrument and the original player could heal and help out. It was difficult but we won
Damn i remeber 2 years ago when the megalodon got introduced fought it with 2 galleons and 2 sloops the good old days, Rare you did a very good job on the game
Good memories for the hungering deep 😌 I remember how excited I was to come home from school to play it
Soo Pure.
i love you guys for this :D i was yesterday about to record it on my own so i can hear it but it didnt work and i was sad, but now you made me so happy THANK YOU !
Something about this really reminds me of the N64 Rare game soundtracks.
That music box be cool on a ship. It be like have a radio on board lol
Summon the Megalodon
Hear it roar
Go back from whence you came
Monster of yore
The size of an iceberg
Grit of Davy Jones
The swimming king of the unknown
Here comes the Megalodon
Sail away
We better go
So that we'll see another day
Keep your eyes open, don't look back
Unless you wanna be its snack!
O no the nostalgia
yeah, this used to be the only song I played in SOT on the good ol hurdy. I'm recently getting back into the game but it's hard since my friends all kinda quit
"And so everyone that concludes today's episode and hope to see you in the next one."
This song is even better now with the banjo
“A fish to Remember.”
A Tune To Remember. But Have Your Way, I Don't Mind
Rare you NEED to reward players for killing the megalodon after this event finishes, we don't want another annoyance where we get nothing. Make it drop whatever it's swallowed in the past e.g chests
Unfound it does reward you. Return to merrick to get your prize. It technically is worth 70,000.
I knew someone would be dense enough to reply this. If you read carefully I said AFTER THIS EVENT. You should be rewarded *every single time* you fight it.
Unfound first of all, no need to call me dense. I missed the after the event was over PART. I was trying to be helpful.

well guess what.... HHAHAHA
the game needs more tunes to play with crew mates!.
BARRICADE well they are planning more content this summer
Love it the drum makes a world of difference
Keep them awesome updates coming!
Fishing next?
Please, oh please, for the love of all things, PLEASE introduce fishing, preferably as a new way to level up your Merchant Alliance reputation~
I'd also like to see a variety of different fish with different rarities.
Maybe some could have poison glands for dipping swords in to fend off unique enemies and another pufferfish could be the start to a hallucinogenic vision quest mission if you eat it.
You got your wish
I swear to god i can hear little bits and pieces of MAD MONSTER MANSIO and CLANKERS CAVERN from Banjo Kazooie in this.
I KNOW it was intentional
giantshadow17 it would make sense since rare also made Banjo Kazooie.
I just noticed how each instrument switches between the melody and harmony
This is my favourite Shanty!
Correction: Official Sea Of Thieves Tavern Tunes: The Best Song in The Game
Sea of thieves is the best game ever!
agreed
Approved!
AYE!
ive had this on loop for like 2 hours and every time i hear him talk, and its really starting to TICK ME OFF!
The dancing skeleton was in time with the drum soooo well!
My personal favourite part of this update :)
Mr. Beanland, fantastic work!!
I dont really play sea of thieves but everytime i hear this i wanna play the game
I’m a pirate legend and I think you should get this game
0:52 is the best part
if i ever need motivation to play sea of thieves i listen to this and realize that there are still beasts that have yet to meet my sword
This update is great, I managed to assemble a fleet yesterday to sink a ship which blockaded t-26. Great job!
I whistle this song pretty often
You need to put that on iTunes NOW!!!!
I know everyone else is saying this, but I thought I would add more volume to the request: PLEASE make this shanty playable after the event is over! Of course, the description does say "A new playable shanty introduced in The Hungering Deep", so I am hoping that means it will be added to the shanty selection permanently. Great music!
The shipwrighter has hummed this song since release, I wondered why this shanty sounds so familiar untill I stumbled upon the shipwrighter again
Need a music box like this - place it on the table and have music continuously play without needing instruments.
I've listened to this shanty so many times its amazing
What do they use to make those sounds at 1:50 and 0:19 ? It sounds like someone sucking in on a tuba.
Sounds very Rare. I like it a lot, especially after playing Banjo Tooie a few days ago haha
Add that to the loop aye
Finally I can ear that completely.
Favorite song yet
It is so awesome to hear this song in it's full glory as you and another galleon sail off on an adventure to conquer the unknowable.
Robin Beanland you LEGEND
Funny how the skeleton follows the beat. Lol
Da da da da arghh dad dad sail the seas with my scurvy pals arghh da daaa daaa
Parot: (quarkkkkk)
Arghhhh shiver me timber!!!
This will forever be stuck in my head after drumming it for about 30 minutes straight
One time in dnd, my dm played this and it was so funny
I really hope we could play this shanty without having to go to merrick i love playing shanties :p
Who knew a shark could have such good music taste
-Megalodon appears
-pulls out hurdy gurdy
teeth sharper than swords 🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥
Man, carrying the tune from Sharkbait to about 2/3 across the old map was brutal.
But worth it.
Wish they brought the summoning method for the Shrouded Ghost.
When I die I'm going to the tavern
Man it wasn't that long ago but I can't imagine a time when this wasnt a shanty
Yeah I remember my first time taking down the megaldon, boi was that an amazing journey
Nothing gives me more SoT nostalgia than this tune.
I think someone might have been thinking back to their Banjo-Kazooie days when they made this tune!
We shall sail together will always be the best.
People still need to learn that each instrument has two modes. A lead and a follow, you can pass it around by pausing for a moment. This adds a lot more fun when playing music.
all hail to this song
Thank you so very much Rare for adding this to the shanty list! You are the best!
🥰😍maja aagaya dost sunke
LYRICS
there is a legend
That lives beneath the deep
A creature so massive
So dangerous
With teeth as sharp as swords
The legend is true
Summon the megalodon
out from the shore there danger be
adventure it holds out on the seven seas
Nobody knows unless you know the pirate code
The danger the water holds
out in the deep a legend sleeps
lurking and waiting for the perfect time to peep
out of the water teth sharper than swords
sail away fast before i boards
but nothing will keep us away from the deep
we hunger to find you a trophy to keep
and all in our hearts we know that you are
a bloodthirsty creature with scars for a feature
teeth so deadly theres no time to screech
the megalodon will fight again
swim another day my friend
the hunt isn't over yet
don't think that you will win
we will sail into the dark head to head
nothing but a big ol' shark do not fear or dread
we will have grog and fame forever due our share
surely there is nothing that will greet us with despair
there is no return for those who seek the one
who lives in the dark they call megalodon
but we are forever due our share
surely there is nothing that will greet us with despair
out from the shore there danger be
adventure it holds out on the seven seas
Nobody knows unless you know the pirate code
The danger the water holds
out in the deep a legend sleeps
lurking and waiting for the perfect time to peep
out of the water teth sharper than swords
sail away fast before i boards
My second favorite SOT song my first is becalmed
My favorite thing I did so far with this shanty is we had 3 people grab the shanty on their ships with each instrument and when each of them had the lead from being so far away we went back to the island and all three instruments had the lead
It got stuck in my head so i had to listen to it again..
Me and my friends used to do a “demonic ritual” which is just playing this on a drum while walking around the middle mast of a galleon
Best. Song.
This tune was so inspired by “brave sir robin” from Monty Python
NI
if there is one thing SoT did right, it’s it’s kickass shanties.
Gunna try to learn this irl on my concertina
Have you guys thought about adding chain shot and grape shot to the list for cannon ammo? Or possibly adding smaller swivel guns that only shoot chain or grape shot?
Another idea would be to add the meaning to each type of flag? Like the red flag for instance meant that no quarter would be given in battle.
this should be in a top 10 best game OST video
This game keeps delivering with the best stuff. Keep it up.
My favorite tune. This needs to stay in the game permanently.
This is the best one in the game
At least the Megalodon will be a random encounter just like the kraken after the campaign ends.
And it will attack sloops.
ChaosDemon2 is sloop attacks confirmed? If so I am very happy!
Sibren Schoenmakers
Meggy attacks sloops during the campaign, so the short answer is yes.
He will have 4 spawn tiles on the map, which change every 15 minutes (Same as the kraken).
ChaosDemon2 well the Kraken attacks sloops too if they wander into the black waters.
Mango Mangui
True, but only galleons can force the kraken to spawn.
Just got the drum so very happy
Put that on repeat! (someone make this a remix!)
Nothing better than hearing this song when getting eated by some eldrith creature
