The Dark Sea compass directions has been changed last update (Mistral Update) which makes the compass part of the video inaccurate. From the patchnotes of the update: "Changed the Dark Sea compass texture to make it more intuitive. Previously, the purple needle pointed towards the War Seas, while the white pointed deeper into the Dark Sea. Now, the light blue needle points towards the War Seas, while the purple needle points towards the Dark Sea."
Found my first dark sea chest on an abandoned brig. I boarded it, picked it up, and at the very second I turned around a white eyes sunk my ship and left me stranded. I love this update.

@@NightmareGhostReapno need to be good at pvp if you're just a power build! I'm totally not gonna be the guy with a full vatrachos set, nope not at all
Got a bunch of dark sea chests, turned around to go back to open them, got struck by red plasma lightning thrice and died. Another time trying to return, got a little greedy and went onto a lava island and accidentally jumped in a white rectangle which I guess was the cover for a pool of poisonous water which drained almost all my health instantly and the remaining poison killed me. Not water poisoning which I could've washed off, just regular poison.
Going into the dark sea feels like the game is intentionally trying to kill you at every given moment. I went in with a ketch and it took ages to find an island. Luckily i found another player who was friendly and went together. Still need a few more shards tho :/
Heres another tip that I have learned by experince myself while in the dark sea: DONT I REPEAT, DONT TRY TO FIGHT THE ATLANTIANS ON THE SHIPS. Why? Because if you suck at pvp OR you have a bad pc that cant handle all the things going on in AO (like me) you're gonna die and they are strong as hell. Just sink them and dont try to fight em.
Lost like 12 dark sealed chest on the 1st time that I had died to them. And like 15 on the 2nd time I had died to them. So dont be greedy by trying to get 1 more dark sealed chests from atlantian ships.
If it's a brig, though? You have no choice but to fight. You either fight that bitch on deck or die-no alternatives unless you are really good on health.
Actually, that's you you're supposed to repair your ships, by sinking the atleantean, and they will chase you anyways, so unless your ship is faster, just fight and sink them, it's not that hard if u have rams and cannons, the ships u skin also heal a ton of hp on a brig Also if u run away, they will chase u through insanity stages and will attack whenever u stop
Did 2 runs in fhe sea with my brother and we got 10 dark sealed chests. Only good thing I got was atlantian chestplate and an exotic scroll for faster attack
Alrighty to the new dudes around, the purple part of the compass now points to the darksea and the white has been changed to cyan or blue which leads to the bronze sea.
Haven't played since the Easter event so I'm pretty behind. Honestly I think I'll avoid the dark sea for like a week or 2 until ppl calm down and I can get prepared properly cuz I went in twice and got absolutely wrecked by the insane weather as well as crazy players just attacking anything they see
@@shoobzy3431to be fare I don’t find dark sea that hard in first layer especially. No insanity and I barely encounter people who have the time and skills to fight me in such conditions. (Hell an assassin even gave his last breath attacking giant white eyes so I could live. Props to that guy) The weather is fairly annoying but not super threatening if you bring some cargo and a brig also have good time management since you have to count the travel time back to the bronze sea.
i got ganked after 25 minutes in te dark sea with 6 sealed chests when i was about to leave (i was at 0 galleons cuz i needed to repair my ship constantly)
Quick question about galleons, if you have for example 10k galleons, how much would you lose when you die? Would you lose the same with 1k galleons? Or does it scale on how much galleons you have?
Lmao I get you. I remember looting a island for dark stones earlier and after taking one glance at my brig (it took 2 ketches worth of damage) I instantly beelined for the bronze sea with giant white eyes on my tail
Dude... I had 20 dark sealed chests and I was solo in Layer 3. My ship got jumped by a heavy brig while I was off it and I scrammed to sail away on my 8k hp ship. I ran out of cargo at this point so I had to use my hammer while sailing and moving the ship and stuff. Then I got jumped by a shadow tornado which flew me into the sky, but I had to make sure my ship was fine so it sailed away. I had to swim back to my brig while the heavy brig was chasing it. Luckily I managed to escape and open all my chests, and... I got garbage. One hell of an experience, only in the dark sea
me n my friends came back with 11 dark sealed chests, dark sea gems, mortars and etc Edit: make sure to get cargo, it’s useful if you’re a criminal because it’s free repair
goes to dark sea, found an really high hill, climb it, only to realize it are much more higher, ran out stamina due it getting more higher and higher the more i climb, jump down, left the dark sea
I first went in with a Caraval, doing ok but then sunk as I had half health and crashed into an island. Found like 4 sealed chests but had no way home. (I also didn’t have a compass or else I would’ve bern home already)
Hello in one of m'y expédition whit a Friend we found a calm way? Liké there Was no sera wawe storm or sea beast when happen to reach insinity 5 but WE found no Island and thé boat TAKE 0 damage in thé whole trip. Pretty strange.

The dark sea compass appears above your other compass. The dark sea compass is Purple & White. While in the Dark Sea, the purple part of the dark sea compass will point towards the Bronze Sea.
I mean i dont know which direction those needle heading to Til a while ago i found out the purple one lead me back to the nearest war sea And i finally got sum dark sealed chest from that
My first dark sea run was horrible. I did it alone. I found a huge mountain and there were like 4-5 sealed chests. When I was returning to my ship I didn't find it. It sunk.
Everytime i use the dark sea compass the white/blue point always to a closet island in the bronze sea for me and the purple points toward further in dark sea why is it different for me?
Too bad for campers I enter the dark sea from Mount othrys and always cargo repair my ship! (My new dragon fire cannons shred any ship that’s not a brig and god I wished the fire also torches npcs and players)
Gear with the warding helps but can't negate later stages of insanity. Also ghost ships go to where they originally sunk which will have treasure. I personally don't recommend ghost ships.
Can’t expect Vetex to get them all fixed in one release update. On the discord he did say he will release small updates in the next couple weeks which I bet are gonna be bug fixes and nerfs or buffs depending on feedback. (Especially the new moves since some seem like they will be the new meta )
@@I-Stole-Your-Toast700your pc screen that looks like a tv can hardcap (make number not go over) your FPS (frames per second) ((what decides how well your game runs))
you have to use a brig if you actually want to enjoy the sea since ketches can only go to layer 0 that should not be a problem considering we had 5 months to prepare

That couldn't be me. No not because I'm nice, but because I'm bad at PvP.

And that's why I go out of my way to go to silver hold, it might not stop everyone but it gives me some extra time.
This is why you go to Thorins Refuge
Ain’t nobody goes there and the guy who owns the place is the nicest npc ingame
instead of bronze hammer, you could also put a bunch of cargo on your ship and use a quartermaster to make the crew repair the boat with the cargo
Hammer is really bad for high level ships
Using a hammer and wasting like 500 just for it to get broken again is torture

bro same what the hell is that plasma lightning, its basically the gods pouring unfortunes at you
Going into the dark sea feels like the game is intentionally trying to kill you at every given moment.
I went in with a ketch and it took ages to find an island. Luckily i found another player who was friendly and went together. Still need a few more shards tho :/
the good ending
My friend somehow managed to follow me in with a Caravel before he got his brig
Deckhands are crazy bro
I got struck by lightning 4 times in one expedition so I agree
I couldn't find an island and sank so I came looking for tips on how to explore the dark sea.
ketch's are the other type of boat that can enter the dark sea (make sure it has hull armour)

Found a big island that was tall as hell, the top bestowed me with 5 dark sealed but maybe lost my way down since the top went past the fog :(
I highly recommend ignoring Atlantean ships as they will slow your progress down to much
Actually, that's you you're supposed to repair your ships, by sinking the atleantean, and they will chase you anyways, so unless your ship is faster, just fight and sink them, it's not that hard if u have rams and cannons, the ships u skin also heal a ton of hp on a brig

I lost 10 dark seal chests to lightning strikes that hit me twice in a row dealing 700+ dmg each
rng i guess..
Did 2 runs in fhe sea with my brother and we got 10 dark sealed chests. Only good thing I got was atlantian chestplate and an exotic scroll for faster attack
Don't use it at the moment it's bugged and doesn't give the buff
Alrighty to the new dudes around, the purple part of the compass now points to the darksea and the white has been changed to cyan or blue which leads to the bronze sea.
Vetex should add this as hint, because I was heading toward to purple needle 💀
Thanks for saving my sealed chests.
another tip: go with someone who also has brig so if one sinks you can just board the other one

If you need to repair your brig and you are out of money sink some ships because they heal alot of durability

i didn't read the comments before i watched the vid so i went all the way into the dark sea more and lost all 12 of my sealed chests, thanks maggot
After 4 attempts of dying or not finding any islands I finally found 10 whole dark sealed chest on my fifth
