For everyone struggling with the sword lunge part, try moving forward just as you're about to lunge. It helps you go forward. Also, the barrel position doesn't matter that much because of different FOVs. Just stand directly at the left edge of the barrel and slowly move left (just a few taps). You'll notice that you are moving slightly higher. Then sword lunge. I managed to do it after moving forward just as I was about to lunge. Without moving forward I just couldn't make it. Hope this helps.
still cant do it, in the vid it looks like he holds left. i get really close, just not close enough. got it boy, just had to trust my got and not copy other people
_FOR THE SWORD LUNGE:_ 1) Make sure you are walking forward right before it activates (extra distance). 2) *Do NOT* jump too early. You can wait longer than you think before you need to jump (extra height). Do not overthink it.
DECEMBER 11, 2022. Sword lunge over the spikes works. I got it first try last night but spent an hour trying to do it today so that I can give tips for anyone else who struggles. - THE BARREL IN THE BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN DOES NOT MATTER! The most important thing to remember is where to stand on that slimmer middle rock ledge. - I recommend taking a few steps back and while you are charging the lunge, walk forward. JUMP AT THE LAST SECOND. When you jump you should be where he is telling you to stand. Look exactly where he is when you do it. It was much easier for me to do it this way. - Another tip. If you don't have the chest because you can't find one, get a rowboat. Doing it solo, the rowboat works just as well. There are the large, slanted rocks in the water where you can pull the rowboat up to when you take all four of the medallions to the compass vault and it makes it very easy and quick to make it back and forth.
While this video is very very good for getting the other 4 completions out of the way, I STRONGLY suggest the first time you are going to do Shores of Gold, do it the intended way. You only get to experience it for the first time once. It’s an amazing journey with brain scrambling puzzles and scary traps, intense fights… One of the greatest gaming moments in my life. The adventure I had to get there was unforgettable, so again I Highly recommend completing it the intended way at least one time :)
I recommend playing more games, like Breath of the Wild. Or if you just really like Sea of Thieves, then check out the Monkey Island tall tales because I think they're way, way better
tried it last night with my friends for about 10 minutes til we gave up. Came back on my own today and succeeded after 20 tries. It's definitely worth the effort. Thx for the vid. EDIT for anyone seeking further tips: It helped me more to see where @Sea Of Concepts was aiming when he jumped than where he was standing. I aimed just barely to the right of the gold painted key on the tattered banner (somewhat between the key and the small gold dot) then simultaneously moved forward and jumped at the last possible moment of the lunge.
That launch by the barrel is crazy hard. I’m gonna give it another go cause I still need three more to get the curse but I’m not sure if it’s actually any faster for me. Lol. Props to everyone that can pull that one off.
5:30 I finally did the sword lunge after a billion tries. 1) stand as far as you can on the rock where there are the two rocks that form "2 lines" 2 Look up, and walk forward before you jump. You can jump later in the lunge that you would normally think. so wait about a whole second before you jump the ledge
quick tip I learned yesterday: Get to final chapter (Use the gold key), Go back to ship and cancel tall tale, you have a checkpoint, go back into cave and make way into the boss fight, kill gold hoarder, cutscene doesn't play because the tall tale isn't active, go back to ship, restart the checkpoint and you have a gold key again, use it, go back to ship to cancel, repeat. It's basically a farming method because every time you restart it at the checkpoint the gold hoarder will respawn everytime, and won't have you sit through the cinematic scene everytime.
What is the point of killing the Gold Hoarder without the Tale active? You don't get credit for completion of the tale and if you're doing it for the 10k gold skull, there are much easier cheese methods to gain much, much higher gold per minute.
@@MarcNuar True. But if you know the big sword lunge skip in the cave, and playing it solo, it basically makes the boss fight super easy just fighting him normally because of how much smaller his health is. Yes the skeletons he spawns can be troublesome, but it only spawns 3, also easy right? Basically I did this for an hour and got 6 to 7 skulls. It ain't the best gold farm in the game though. Probably not even close, but it's fun. I tried doing an OOS emissary once. His skull gives you rep but it sadly does not increase the gold you'd gain from his skull specifically.
Sword lunge still possible, even though I lost my sanity while trying to do it. It was only possible thanks to someone who stayed in the Ferry of the Damned to motivate me each time i died. 😢💕
I can do all this except I couldn't do the sword lunge across the spike gap to skip the traps. I tried like 15 times but only got close once. Anyways thanks so much saved me so much time on this tall tale
Do it 5 times before its patched. Then do the rest of the tall tales. Also you won't get (any?) journals on this route. But still an amazing guide, thank you.
I do my tales by trying to make it by me but i look for journals on internet and after i did by my self do it like sonic by tutorials, i think its more fun to do it once by your self
6/26/2021 The sword lunge still works, it's extremely difficult but it's still possible. I'd recommend following as close to the video as possible and trying to jump as late as possible. Best of luck Pirates!!!
Amazing tutorial and its nice to see that you use ideas posted in the comments ( in the old video i saw someone with the idea with the sword lunge in the underground section and i posted the idea with the chest 2 days ago) So keep up the great work👍🏼
@@blitzy7961 If you're using a second account, you have to get the Tale Checkpoint on the second account. Join with both characters, load the checkpoint, log out with the secondary account, kill the boss, repeat.
That really is a tricky jump isnt it . . . had no problems the first time I tried it and spent over 20 minuits until I got kicked for a network error the second time around . . . I really dont know what is it that im doing wrong. Very helpful guide however, I cant imagine how much longer the shores of gold would take without it.
you can find empty treasure chests on the waters on any island(first you have to go to an island and dive in the water (ocean/sea) and find for a glowy thing and that glowy thing can be a chest)
Do you have any extra advice for doing the sword lunge thing? I haven't been able to do it yet after dozens of attempts. Also, amazing guide! Definitely earned a sub
Honestly, no i dont sadly. It’s one of those things that once you get it done once you just get a feel for it, try moving more to the left of where i showed in the video
You doing the best tall tale guides on youtube my friend I just wanna say thank you very much for this guides used it to do the goldcurse all guides were really good keep up the good work!!!👍✌
I did the tall tale today for the journals. I have to do it three more times. I saw a speedrun that used the sword dash over the cavern. I tried it but failed so I went through it normally. I mean, I had to because of the journal but I wanted to attempt it. Thank you for the guide
there is a ladder that lets you bypass all that walking to place medallions in the compass vault. after you drop from that rock before the bridge, go to the left and in the water there is a ladder back up to the vault.
basically there are 2 points where you can enter the compass vault island. one is over the bridge and the other is a ladder from the water about northish on the compass island.
Complete it all the way through once! Then when you get the coin 🪙 have a friend leave the game, so he has the checkpoint. Once your done with the tall tale have em join an start the tall tale again from checkpoint
Do it with a friends and when you kill the boss they leave, when the Quest ends they join back. They’ll have a tall tale checkpoint that they can place on the quest table. You both vote for it then take the gold hoarder coin to the key spot and you’re at the spiral staircase.
Ok guys as of ver. 2.8.1 (which came out yesterday) the sword lunge skip has been patched and is no longer doable 😔 "‘Shores of Gold’ - Players are no longer able to bypass the traps and reach the Gold Hoarder’s vault by passing through the environment."
Fairly sure theres an invisible wall now because no matter how close i am i slide down.. Turns out its entirely possible, im just really bad at sword lunging and im not going to spend another hour dying
There is a waaaaaaay easier way: So first go to the runied stair case that leads to a closed door right out the front of the staircase u can see a lever pull it and the door will open jumping into the room will drop u under the map just swim all the way to the left back room of the goldhoarders room and you will clip through th wall and already be in the boss fight and even when u die u respawn there Your Welcome
Got stuck at the part after finishing the North Vault, it says "take it to the vault location" and then video skips past it. Had to watch another guide to show where the vault location was and the best to actually get there
This is a speedrun guide, meaning you know everything about the tall tale but are trying to skip everything and complete it fast. My main, regular, guide would've been better
here from 2024 season 14 launch day : you can skip the underground section with the new grappling gun instead of sword lunge aim at the rock right behind the broken bridge and you should be good to go
@@shekelsean I just wrapped up the tall tale for the last commendation. Ended up speed running two of the fights because the lag delayed the fights long enough for me to open the doors.
nah, Briggsy said herself in one of her journals that sometimes the shroud moved around it so other pirates got there (Hence all the barrels) so its pheasable that a merchant or two got lost and died on the island, their pigs bred with other merchants pigs and thats how the story goes
I beat the mission first time and some people glitched through the space wall and griefed me and this took me days and then texts me get better so bad 😢

Do you have to jump during it or just move forward
@@corvent62 You need to jump too. So start the sword lunge > move forward > jump as the sword lunge occurs
After i read this i did it first try thank you mr sword lunge god
still cant do it, in the vid it looks like he holds left. i get really close, just not close enough. got it boy, just had to trust my got and not copy other people
I keep hitting the rock on the left when i do sword lunge underground

Sword lunge still works as of 5th July 2021. Super hard tho
Wdym I just did it first try today
Still works October 21 2024
Made my grind way faster, thank you.
When you have to take the chest up to the vault, you don’t have to go up the rock, there is a ladder on the left side. It might save you some time.
To get into the chair you can also park your boat in the lake to the left of it and cannon in. Great tutorial though!
I mentioned that you don't need to, as the rock sword lunge is more reliable and faster
@@SeaOfConcepts not to mention easier
@@mrkitloin I get it first try everytime with the cannon. It's not that hard to aim it. Sword lunges however are horrible for me.
@@StudlyFudd13 Im the exact opposite, i cannot for the life of me get the cannon but i can hit the sword lunge almost every time

Once you get into the cave it’s basically done you got to the end you don’t need to skip that part.

The sword lunge is super helpful, also real easy if you know how to extended sword lunge.
This saved me so much time!

This is gold. thank you so much
Is there a way to kill the gold hoarder fast or a checkpoint after killing him?

honestly would've been faster to do it normally. Wish you had explained the jump a bit more.
When sword lunging across the stake pit do you have to press the jump button at any point or just lunge?
Dam your good at this and your intro
The sword lunge still works you just need to get it right. There is a comment in the comments that gives some tips for it.
This is a good tut, but it doesn't show any of the locations! I've been trying ti find out where he put the gold hoarder coin for half a hour!
This is amazing. Thank you.
Spent a while on this and tried all the tips, did it get patched?
There is a waaaaaaay easier way:
So first go to the runied stair case that leads to a closed door right out the front of the staircase u can see a lever pull it and the door will open jumping into the room will drop u under the map just swim all the way to the left back room of the goldhoarders room and you will clip through th wall and already be in the boss fight and even when u die u respawn there
