I once undershot a chainshot at an approaching vessel. Disheartened, I began prepping the next shot when the first connected with the pile of kegs on their bowsprit, killing one of them.
One time our crew had about 8 barrels up in the crows nest. It got struck by lightning and the explosion crashed my game. So yeah we don't mess with the barrels anymore.
I had all barrels from forune fort, 2 "nukes" 2 fort barrels and normal one, and quess what. A storm right near outpost. 1 lightning and galeon was nearly gone, it survived bcs barrels were in the crows nest, it still made tier 3 holes and if my all friends died we would be shipless. The best part is thah i was on shore not looking at the ship. It was freaking hillarius when I heard a lightning, a huge explosion and my screen froze for a second or 2, I look back and the ship is burning with all sails down XD
This video reminded me of a time that I had an Athena keg stowed away up in my crow's nest during a Thieves' Haven run. I was doing the map and didn't realize the storm was near me till I heard a giant explosion from the other side of the island. Learned an important lesson about kegs that day lol
Just wanted to throw out the fact that the Thieve's Haven run DOES infact guarantee an athena gunpowder barrel. On the final map for dig locations one of the digs will cause a skeleton carrying one to spawn, just as you found unknowingly at 8:02
Cliff, the Thieves Haven run absolutely has a 100% spawn for a keg. On clue 5 (dig map, 9 dig spots), there ALWAYS is one spot that yields an Athena Skeleton, with an Athena Keg and drops a skull of ancient fortune. You can also get a Keg or Chest through any regular dig spots at a small chance. Also, an Athena Keg is just as strong as a Stronghold Keg.
I heard that it had a bigger aoe but slightly less ship damage so it is more effective on bigger boats since it has a higher chance of killing more ppl
Being here since 5k subs, it’s great to see one of the unsung heroes of the SOT community finally get the growth they deserve, all the while making far more original and good quality content than many other Creators on the platform. I look forward to see the great things you will achieve. But we can all agree that no matter what, Rare does not care it will screw you and only you over in any way possible lol. O7
I remember a pirate legend crew gave me and my friend a free reapers bounty. They said they were giving out to the new players of the seas (we had just started a few days prior) and I remembered what it was from your videos! If it weren't for you, I would have had no idea what to do with it. Thanks for your amazing content and keep up the great work!
Lmao I remember one time a PVP level 5 reaper was going after me when I was being an order of souls emissary while I stuck my ship in parking to find stuff in a shipwreck. I made it seem like I was an emissary noob and dove under to get the big boomey stronghold keg inside the destroyed galleon before I then took it up and swam it right into their line of movement. I then dropped the keg and blew up with it, laughed a bit at the ferry of the damned, and then I went back to find that the level 5 reaper was not only sunk, but the whole crew rage quitted
I only just found out about this channel a few days ago, But I already watch all the time and these videos have taught me so much. I used to play SOT 1 year ago, and little did I know all the possibilities in the game. Even up till just about 2 weeks ago all I really knew was that I can go to the gold hoarders, merchant alliance, and order of souls for quests for gold. and about tall tales and the big strong bosses under tornados. But in the past couple weeks I have learned a lot. Emissary flags, FOF, Portal Hopping, And so many tips and tricks. I cant believe how fast I have learned about this game. And thank you cliff for being such a big reason I know so much.
Hey cliff, I just want to let you know that you are one of my favorite RUclipsrs and I’m always looking forward to your vids. You got me back into sea of thieves so i just want to say thank you. Keep up the good work!
Keg plays are just an absolute classic at this point. Rowie + Athena Keg is next level. Loving these videos Cliff, always fun and lighthearted! One time, I sniped an athena keg in somebody's crows nest --- while it wasn't even in render distance. Lol. Wish I still had that clip!
I have already experienced true terror. But kinda different. I did an ashen Athena voyage, grabbed an Athena keg along the way and then a volcano exploded. And it blew up my entire ship, I died and the ship sunk. Thats true terror
Nah, earlier me and the boys had TWO Athena kegs, and a stronghold keg in the midst of like 3 active volcanos. We were shitting ourselves for like 5 minutes straight
but they don't though? On a sloop sure it's always four holes but they become those large holes with the athena keg. And on other ships it creates more and bigger holes.
"I keep hearing people call Athena kegs mega kegs and freaking out when one goes off on their ship. Here's some quick info about what an Athena keg actually does. Athena kegs, or Kegs of Ancient Black Powder, can only deal 4 holes maximum to your ship. That's the exact same as normal gunpowder barrels. (Mega kegs, or Stronghold Gunpowder Barrels, deal 8 holes max) The dangerous part about Athena kegs is they have a huge blast radius, so they're more likely to kill more crewmates, which of course slows down repairs. Their large blast radius also makes it more likely they'll damage the mast, capstan, or wheel, but they are not as dangerous as mega kegs, and one going off on your ship can be easily repaired, as long as someone survives." Posted on the reddit, nobody disagreeing with it in the answers. Your turn my friend.
The keg on a ship is so real, me and my friend were sailing with a keg on our bowsprit (as a ramming weapon) when we got caught in a storm, I was at the helm when my friend decided to Stan at the bow with his sword drawn. I basically just sat there while two massive explosions went off at the bow. Our ship sank within seconds.
This channel made me try Sea of Thieves for the first time in almost 2 years. I have no idea what 99% of the new shit is/does, but somehow even with spending 4 hours hopping crew-to-crew on galleons as we do a single voyage or event, turn in loot, then everyone logs... I'm the only person who's a Pirate Legend on the crews. It took my last crew 30 minutes to turn in loot from a skeleton fleet because they REFUSED to turn in while a sloop slowly circled around us taking shots at max cannon range, despite knowing the guy on the sloop was alone. Eventually I got tired of trying to explain why there's no need for 4 people to sit on the galleon, missing shot after shot (my aim was trash too ngl) when we had level 5 gold hoarder emissary and a bunch of chests to sell. So I started taking the loot to sell it, and sword-dashing to the sloop whenever he got too close. However, my teammates would always get off cannons the second I said I was aboard the sloop and had killed the guy, so they never actually sank him. As we got near done selling, he got bored and sailed away but was immediately met by Karen and sank.
Honestly, your Overwatch content was 100% enjoyable and digestible. You playing Sea of Thieves and telling these story... feels like youre genuinely having fun. Ive been watching your conent for a lil while...this has to be your best work. Keep killing it Nakama!
I re-watched some of my Overwatch videos recently and yeah, I didn't feel like that back then, but you can tell that the passion was fading. Once Blizzard stopped supporting the game, it felt a lot more like I was going through the motions whereas Sea of Thieves is a brand new experience for me and it's fun coming up with these stupid plans to try and pull off
Not true, Athenas have a 1.5x bigger explosion, it's also more devastating to a Galleon. Did a test on this a little while ago. Any other ship is all the same.
@@eliaspanayi3465 Yeah, also because a Galleon has a 4 player crew, and it needs those extra holes to do real damage. 2 holes per person. That's why the galleon has so much to manage, it'd be unfair otherwise.
I just starting playing sea of thieves, and you taught me a lot of things the tutorial didn’t. Your content is something I watch whenever i’m bored. Thank you!
Just discovered the channel because the video kept popping up, and I do not regret clicking on it lol. Btw do you ever play with any of your subscribers?
Other youtubers could stack 10 FOTDs, kill a whole reaper alliance and absolutely dominate the server. But it'd still be more boring than cliff just trying to make a ship go boom. Love your content and style man, you're the best!
Man, I got into sea of thieves because of this dude and i've had my own share of troubles in the end I now have found new friends that I sail on a galleon with almost daily, I'm sure to reach pirate legend tomorrow with how things are going!
If you want an even bigger bomb, I belive that the keg in the 6th tall tale (trickster) is like the nuke of the seas. When we tried it (a year ago) it blew every hole in our brigantine. (You can get the keg with a checkpoint)
I've seen Athena kegs blow in person! Me and my crew of buddies found a galleon and placed it on the middle level with 3 or 4 strong hold kegs spread out. Its was some how enough to cause a chain reaction to their kegs in the crows nest. That or some one else shot it. We blew the Athena keg with a sniper from a row boat. It was beautiful. I heard one yell "ATHENA KEG" as it blew up.
This is the single best SoT channel I have ever encountered. Glad I've found you, because your content is very fun to watch and the quality is amazing!
I’ve very recently gotten in this game and lemme say you’ve earned the sub. While my current tactic is to lay low and earn myself some experience, I respect the approach and giving them a chance to communicate before death. In my first probably 4 hours of playing I‘ve been blown up, shot at, killed, and robbed so many times with no chance to try to speak.
This reminds me of the silliest times I ever kegged someone. I sailed on up to an island at the southwest of the map (I forget the name), and wanted to act friendly, give the guy some supplies, etc. He didn't retaliate or act aggressive at all, and just went back to digging up his chest. On the way to his ship which was parked on the other side of the island, I noticed a golden (or rather red) opportunity sitting out in the open near some bushes - a keg. After a moment of deliberation, I decided to take the keg and pretend like I was still hoisting supplies over to his ship, and then I blew it! The ship sunk within a minute and I had no problem besting the surprised bilge rat in combat. I don't know how new the player was, but he was digging up some captain's chests so I think he had at least a dozen or so hours under his belt. Needless to say, he learned a valuable lesson about not trusting every "friendly" pirate you meet and not leaving any kegs within an island's radius of your boat! XD Thing is, if that keg wasn't there, I actually would've just given him my supplies and logged off for the night as per my plan. But greed got the best of me, and I deceptively destroyed his ship instead. I'm still not sure whether I should feel bad about it tbh.
@@CliffTheStoryGuy Nah it's fine, you just have to be careful with it. The way I use them is, have the keg on board, make someone follow me, grab the keg, jump overboard, climb aboard the enemy's ship and boom. Instant profit. If things don't go my way, I just throw the keg overboard. It works 100% of the times that it doesn't go wrong!
Cliff: Blows up some random ship with a biggest keg in the game Owner of that ship: "Im just gonna dig up some chest.....wait.....WHY DID MY SHIP EXPLODED?!"
Finally a new video, keep up your good work and your channel is growing. I am new in sea of thieves and have 50h play experience but anyways enjoying watching your videos. :D
I have a great story with these barrels. Me and my friend had just completed one of the skeleton raids (which you get the black powder kegs and Athena chests) and as we were collecting loot a sloop came to kill us, so my friend snuck aboard with the keg and blew it up. After that I went aboard to set it on fire, and killed them a second time before dying. On the ferry they were toxic to me (keep in mind my tactic is spamming my sword and setting everything on fire), but the deed was done. Got back with the loot and sold! (If you read all of this, you are a legend)
I've watched a few of your videos and I've just subscribed, I love your storytelling. You drop jokes well and not to much, no over use of memes and your voice is actually great for narration. Keep up the good work
Just a tip if you ever do Athena thieves haven voyages with a crew. Leave a guy on the island as you go do the other stuff on the other islands, that way when you finish your island he can immediately start digging up stuff on thieves haven, saves a bit of time Also if people have trouble with npcs spawning and them dying while you’re doing the other islands, go to the highest point of thieves haven. AI can’t get up there and you can see for a long distance to be sure no one else is coming.
Back when I was a mega noob I stored a bunch of loot in my cabin, including multiple normal kegs, and like 3 stronghold kegs and I was at the front of the boat as we drove past an enemy ship. My friend screamed and I swear the ship tipped vertically 90 degrees. I fell of turned around and it was to late. It turns out the other team shot a cannon ball through our window
I remember completing a FoF and as we opened the vault a tucker ran for our galleon with an athena keg, a swung on him just in time and every single keg on the island exploded as well as knocking our ship a bit. Truely cataclysmic
I just watched your "this is pvp" video, and your comment on how doing a world event will surely atract people made me remember an advemture i had the other day. My friends and i loaded onto a new server and imediatly saw a FoF. When we got over there, it was on the second to last boss, there were 2 stronghold skulls there, i dont know how. We finished it, expecting to be chased. And..... nothing. Noone came after us. We got a free FoF amd a legend of the veil later. It was amazing
For the skeletons on Thieves Haven that spawn when you dig treasure, you can lower their hp to two sword hits if you activate one of two specific tall tales. I believe these are The Cursed Rogue on Plunder Outpost and The Legendary Storyteller at ancient spires outpost. Also, I heard Stronghold kegs do more ship damage while Athena does bigger aoe effect but not sure if that is true.
A few days ago, a friend and I were duo slooping a FoF. We finished it with no trouble and decided to take the kegs aboard for more money (stashed in the crows nest.) We were sailing until something seemed... off. The music was not the typical sound. It was a kraken. Right after we finished a FoF, Rare gave us a kraken. We were on a sloop, so it wasn't THAT big of a threat, but it was still *terrifying*. We ended up killing it without it even hitting our ship at all. Didn't even stop for the meat, we made sure those athena and stronghold kegs were secure in the Reaper's hands, not ours.
Now, I'm very sorry but I have a confession. Even though I have been playing sea of thieves before this channel was started, I still didn't know that you can defuse kegs. Who knew it was so simple! Thanks for the tip although it really destroyed my newly found ego from reaching pirate legend and well done for yet another amazing video!
The two most scary things in sea of thieves, sailing through a strom with a keg on board, and someone telling you that they have put an athena keg on your ship
I just realized how new you are to SoT and RUclips. You are making great work. I’m sure you’ll make it big. I didn’t even realize how new you were until I watched a video where you pointed it out. You already have great quality so I didn’t catch that you are new.
My best friend who passed away last year loves this game, he used to play it all the time with his flatmate. I could never understand why he was so drawn to it, but I can see why now. Its a shame Dillon will never get to sail those seas again, never get fired out of a cannon, never be at the helm drunk and never sing another sea shanty. I just wanted to share a little bit of Dillion to you all so in a way he will be remembered.
Challenge: you cannot kill anybody or fire cannonballs/anything not a flare from your ship cannons, and if they hit your ship with a cannonball, you send them all of your loot by scuttle, rowboat or dumping it into the sea. You must sell a single haul of 100k to succeed the challenge. Why not make it even harder and say you have to detonate a Normal keg every 30 minutes after the hour mark. Enjoy your pain and suffering. Tip: i never said you can’t sink it by other means. :) (kegs or fortress cannons?)
Fun fact, regardless of type, one keg will always put at most 4 holes into a sloop It's actually much more effective to detonate multiple regular kegs, placed evenly around the ship
Hi Cliff I just wanted to say how much I absolutely love your videos Your one of the first SOT youtubers I subbed to after I started playing the game myself and have been keeping up with your amazing content ever since and have loved every second of it. Even on days where I encounter toxic crews who just want to ruin the game for me your videos always keep me coming back to sail the seas and now I’ve finally reached Pirate Legend. Keep up the amazing content man! Us pirates be looking forward to enjoying every chapter of the sea of tales 😊
CLIFF WHEN DID YOU PASS 100k CONGRATS 🍾🎉 Been with you since 17k and watched you blow up and genuinely thought that you were the most enjoyable SoT RUclipsr. Congratulations bud
One of the first times my girlfriend played this game we were selling fish at Stephen's Spoils (she still loves Hunter's Call, she's trying to get pirate legend through them) and a duo Brigantine had just finished the Fort of the Damned. Part way through loading up loot they came over to our boat with a stronghold keg and dropped it on the deck! I heard them grab the ladder so I was quick to pick up, defuse, and moved the keg out of sight below deck; seemingly confusing the enemy pirate and giving me the opportunity to sword them to death before they could manually set it off. Since she was new to the game and we were playing on Xbox we agreed to avoid conflict, but this was not only an act of war, but we also needed to get this bomb off our boat! My girlfriend took off on her first time at the helm, hitting the dock a little, and I jumped off with the keg, directing her to lead the brig closer to me. I boarded, killed the remaining crew mate and myself in the explosion and then both of our ships sank; ours from the previous dock damage. It was now a race to Stephen's Spoils; and we had wind in our favor. The Brigantine spawned close enough that even with their wind disadvantage they were able to get to Stephen's Spoils just before us. However; we noticed that they had yet to load the two Reaper's Bounties from the fort, so we headed to the FotD and quickly grabbed them from the loot piled outside the door. Wind was pointed directly at us from the Reaper's Hideout so the Brigantine had no chance to catch us as we headed to sell. This was also during gold rush, so we got a cool 40,000 for handing them in, as well as getting to have fun with a stronghold keg.
Kegs will never stop being the best entertainment in SoT. Hearing the sound of a nuke detonating on another ship is deeply satisfying.
t r u e
I once undershot a chainshot at an approaching vessel. Disheartened, I began prepping the next shot when the first connected with the pile of kegs on their bowsprit, killing one of them.
Unless it's yours
*Cries in never been able to do that*
Unless you have no idea whos' ship the nuke was on
One time our crew had about 8 barrels up in the crows nest. It got struck by lightning and the explosion crashed my game.
So yeah we don't mess with the barrels anymore.
explosion so strong it nukes the game
This dude just killed every player on the server lol.
I would just throw the barrels in the water
@@average_janitor367 But how he is already shocked by Lightning
I had all barrels from forune fort, 2 "nukes" 2 fort barrels and normal one, and quess what.

RIP
Never have em in your crows nest 😔
Just wanted to throw out the fact that the Thieve's Haven run DOES infact guarantee an athena gunpowder barrel. On the final map for dig locations one of the digs will cause a skeleton carrying one to spawn, just as you found unknowingly at 8:02
can confirm, i just ran this the other day and ran into the same guy. just shot him tho, and died wondering why the aoe was so large...
Favorite Sea of Thieves youtuber love the style of content, jokes, skill, and very good camera work

Can we all relate to when you dig up a stronghold keg and a skelly doesn't even hit the keg and hits you but everything gets blown up
“THE BIGGEST BOMB” Doesn’t even get to see one explosion😂😂
The Athena and Stronghold kegs do the same amount of damage. Also, the Thieves Haven run always gives you an Athena Keg.

but they don't though? On a sloop sure it's always four holes but they become those large holes with the athena keg. And on other ships it creates more and bigger holes.
All that matters is that the athena keg is way cooler 😎
@@ArctikToast Look it up if you want. They behave identically to each other.
"I keep hearing people call Athena kegs mega kegs and freaking out when one goes off on their ship.

Athena kegs has the same explotion as a normal stronghold keg, just with a blue-ish color
Yeah but it looking cool is all I need
Not true, Athenas have a 1.5x bigger explosion, it's also more devastating to a Galleon. Did a test on this a little while ago. Any other ship is all the same.
@@Shadow-ms2yb is that because of the floors on a galleon giving it more places to get damaged? I'm relatively new to the game so forgive me

Ur the only reason ik anything about sea of theives ur probably one of the best sea of theives youtubers
I've seen Athena kegs blow in person! Me and my crew of buddies found a galleon and placed it on the middle level with 3 or 4 strong hold kegs spread out. Its was some how enough to cause a chain reaction to their kegs in the crows nest. That or some one else shot it. We blew the Athena keg with a sniper from a row boat. It was beautiful. I heard one yell "ATHENA KEG" as it blew up.
Sounds like an action movie
It’s good night when cliff uploads
Eating and watching a new Cliff video at the same time...2022 isn't so bad
This is the single best SoT channel I have ever encountered. Glad I've found you, because your content is very fun to watch and the quality is amazing!
you know ur gonna have a good day when cliff uploads
I’ve very recently gotten in this game and lemme say you’ve earned the sub. While my current tactic is to lay low and earn myself some experience, I respect the approach and giving them a chance to communicate before death. In my first probably 4 hours of playing I‘ve been blown up, shot at, killed, and robbed so many times with no chance to try to speak.
Always best to expect the worst as a pirate
0:11 rowy and a boom keg is so catchy for me…
This reminds me of the silliest times I ever kegged someone. I sailed on up to an island at the southwest of the map (I forget the name), and wanted to act friendly, give the guy some supplies, etc. He didn't retaliate or act aggressive at all, and just went back to digging up his chest. On the way to his ship which was parked on the other side of the island, I noticed a golden (or rather red) opportunity sitting out in the open near some bushes - a keg.
After a moment of deliberation, I decided to take the keg and pretend like I was still hoisting supplies over to his ship, and then I blew it! The ship sunk within a minute and I had no problem besting the surprised bilge rat in combat. I don't know how new the player was, but he was digging up some captain's chests so I think he had at least a dozen or so hours under his belt. Needless to say, he learned a valuable lesson about not trusting every "friendly" pirate you meet and not leaving any kegs within an island's radius of your boat! XD
Thing is, if that keg wasn't there, I actually would've just given him my supplies and logged off for the night as per my plan. But greed got the best of me, and I deceptively destroyed his ship instead. I'm still not sure whether I should feel bad about it tbh.
That dude definitely learned a valuable lesson that day
i swear i love his narration
Kegs are so underrated. To everybody who says "don't ever bring a keg on board" I can only say "git gud".
It legitimately is a bad idea the vast majority of the time, but the few times when it's not.. It can be very funny
@@CliffTheStoryGuy Nah it's fine, you just have to be careful with it. The way I use them is, have the keg on board, make someone follow me, grab the keg, jump overboard, climb aboard the enemy's ship and boom. Instant profit. If things don't go my way, I just throw the keg overboard.
It works 100% of the times that it doesn't go wrong!
Cliff: Blows up some random ship with a biggest keg in the game
Owner of that ship: "Im just gonna dig up some chest.....wait.....WHY DID MY SHIP EXPLODED?!"
YES, another SoT story, keep it up good sir
A new video from Cliff? My day is saved
Love this theres not enough good sot RUclipsrs like you
I think there's a lot of great SoT creators, it just depends on what you're looking for
@@CliffTheStoryGuy You will always be the best of the bunch
Finally a new video, keep up your good work and your channel is growing. I am new in sea of thieves and have 50h play experience but anyways enjoying watching your videos. :D
3.36 when you said thing didn’t expect a clash of clans ad popped up
Always great when Cliff uploads
I love the captions! Keep up the hard work.
I have a great story with these barrels.
Me and my friend had just completed one of the skeleton raids (which you get the black powder kegs and Athena chests) and as we were collecting loot a sloop came to kill us, so my friend snuck aboard with the keg and blew it up. After that I went aboard to set it on fire, and killed them a second time before dying. On the ferry they were toxic to me (keep in mind my tactic is spamming my sword and setting everything on fire), but the deed was done. Got back with the loot and sold!
(If you read all of this, you are a legend)
Thanks for the awesome content!! Also, thanks Discord for getting me here early!!
Cliff I finally got pirate legend today! I’ve been a proud sub since you first started and your videos have taught me SO MUCH! Thank you Cliff!
I've watched a few of your videos and I've just subscribed, I love your storytelling. You drop jokes well and not to much, no over use of memes and your voice is actually great for narration. Keep up the good work
Just a tip if you ever do Athena thieves haven voyages with a crew. Leave a guy on the island as you go do the other stuff on the other islands, that way when you finish your island he can immediately start digging up stuff on thieves haven, saves a bit of time
Also if people have trouble with npcs spawning and them dying while you’re doing the other islands, go to the highest point of thieves haven. AI can’t get up there and you can see for a long distance to be sure no one else is coming.
Back when I was a mega noob I stored a bunch of loot in my cabin, including multiple normal kegs, and like 3 stronghold kegs and I was at the front of the boat as we drove past an enemy ship. My friend screamed and I swear the ship tipped vertically 90 degrees. I fell of turned around and it was to late. It turns out the other team shot a cannon ball through our window
now that's what I call unlucky
I remember completing a FoF and as we opened the vault a tucker ran for our galleon with an athena keg, a swung on him just in time and every single keg on the island exploded as well as knocking our ship a bit.
Truely cataclysmic
I love blowing up the keg stash in FoTD and FoF, the explosion beats any fireworks
I just watched your "this is pvp" video, and your comment on how doing a world event will surely atract people made me remember an advemture i had the other day. My friends and i loaded onto a new server and imediatly saw a FoF. When we got over there, it was on the second to last boss, there were 2 stronghold skulls there, i dont know how. We finished it, expecting to be chased. And..... nothing. Noone came after us. We got a free FoF amd a legend of the veil later. It was amazing
For the skeletons on Thieves Haven that spawn when you dig treasure, you can lower their hp to two sword hits if you activate one of two specific tall tales. I believe these are The Cursed Rogue on Plunder Outpost and The Legendary Storyteller at ancient spires outpost. Also, I heard Stronghold kegs do more ship damage while Athena does bigger aoe effect but not sure if that is true.
DUDE your content is 1 of a kind!!!!! keep it up bro!
Im so happy you are getting more attention. I really hope you hit 500k by the end of the year!
A few days ago, a friend and I were duo slooping a FoF. We finished it with no trouble and decided to take the kegs aboard for more money (stashed in the crows nest.) We were sailing until something seemed... off. The music was not the typical sound. It was a kraken. Right after we finished a FoF, Rare gave us a kraken. We were on a sloop, so it wasn't THAT big of a threat, but it was still *terrifying*. We ended up killing it without it even hitting our ship at all. Didn't even stop for the meat, we made sure those athena and stronghold kegs were secure in the Reaper's hands, not ours.
as a newly voyager that "keeping yourself safe" got me for real
Cliff ur like legit one of my fav sot streamers
YESSS I WAS LIKED BY CLIFFFF
all your vids are great, keep up the good work cant wait for the next one.
😂 “do what we say, we have an Athena keg on your ship”
Them *dashes to doomed ship*
That was good!
Would be fun to revisit this concept now that you can easily farm athena kegs via the pirate legend voyage
Cliff my boy, i just wanna say you make me want to go keep playing sea of thieves even if waiting for updates is boring lol you make it fun
I also can't wait for Season 7, coming up with new ideas using old content is getting really difficult lmao
@@CliffTheStoryGuy you gonna call your ship something like “The Crawling Dutchman?” Or Subscribe to Cliff The Story G”
Dang you're videos are the best! Are there any possibilities to play with you man?
Now, I'm very sorry but I have a confession. Even though I have been playing sea of thieves before this channel was started, I still didn't know that you can defuse kegs. Who knew it was so simple! Thanks for the tip although it really destroyed my newly found ego from reaching pirate legend and well done for yet another amazing video!
Cliff the story guy?
More like Cliff the story god 👼
Best RUclipsr I know so happy I found him on here.
The two most scary things in sea of thieves, sailing through a strom with a keg on board, and someone telling you that they have put an athena keg on your ship
I just realized how new you are to SoT and RUclips. You are making great work. I’m sure you’ll make it big. I didn’t even realize how new you were until I watched a video where you pointed it out. You already have great quality so I didn’t catch that you are new.
My best friend who passed away last year loves this game, he used to play it all the time with his flatmate. I could never understand why he was so drawn to it, but I can see why now. Its a shame Dillon will never get to sail those seas again, never get fired out of a cannon, never be at the helm drunk and never sing another sea shanty. I just wanted to share a little bit of Dillion to you all so in a way he will be remembered.
Nice one cliff, I have been messing with kegs recently too, mainly for commadations
Challenge: you cannot kill anybody or fire cannonballs/anything not a flare from your ship cannons, and if they hit your ship with a cannonball, you send them all of your loot by scuttle, rowboat or dumping it into the sea. You must sell a single haul of 100k to succeed the challenge. Why not make it even harder and say you have to detonate a Normal keg every 30 minutes after the hour mark. Enjoy your pain and suffering. Tip: i never said you can’t sink it by other means. :) (kegs or fortress cannons?)
Do you edit your own videos because your vids are always so well edited
Yeah I do
Fun fact, regardless of type, one keg will always put at most 4 holes into a sloop
It's actually much more effective to detonate multiple regular kegs, placed evenly around the ship
yeah but athena kegs look the coolest
The dopamine rush that you get from blowing up a ship with a keg is amazing
Most entertaining Sea of Thieves youtuber
Hi Cliff
I just wanted to say how much I absolutely love your videos
Your one of the first SOT youtubers I subbed to after I started playing the game myself and have been keeping up with your amazing content ever since and have loved every second of it.
Even on days where I encounter toxic crews who just want to ruin the game for me your videos always keep me coming back to sail the seas and now I’ve finally reached Pirate Legend.
Keep up the amazing content man!
Us pirates be looking forward to enjoying every chapter of the sea of tales 😊
always quality content. appreciate it men!
But you hadn't watched it yet when you commented >:(
He doesn’t need to watch to know it’s a banger it’s from you for Christs sake
I don’t even play sea of thieves but your videos are so excellently made
thanks for having a mw2 refrence, i FREAKING LOVE THAT GAME!
CLIFF WHEN DID YOU PASS 100k CONGRATS 🍾🎉 Been with you since 17k and watched you blow up and genuinely thought that you were the most enjoyable SoT RUclipsr. Congratulations bud
My other acc is the one it’s my old one it’s Laurie Anderson
One of the first times my girlfriend played this game we were selling fish at Stephen's Spoils (she still loves Hunter's Call, she's trying to get pirate legend through them) and a duo Brigantine had just finished the Fort of the Damned. Part way through loading up loot they came over to our boat with a stronghold keg and dropped it on the deck! I heard them grab the ladder so I was quick to pick up, defuse, and moved the keg out of sight below deck; seemingly confusing the enemy pirate and giving me the opportunity to sword them to death before they could manually set it off. Since she was new to the game and we were playing on Xbox we agreed to avoid conflict, but this was not only an act of war, but we also needed to get this bomb off our boat! My girlfriend took off on her first time at the helm, hitting the dock a little, and I jumped off with the keg, directing her to lead the brig closer to me. I boarded, killed the remaining crew mate and myself in the explosion and then both of our ships sank; ours from the previous dock damage. It was now a race to Stephen's Spoils; and we had wind in our favor.
The Brigantine spawned close enough that even with their wind disadvantage they were able to get to Stephen's Spoils just before us. However; we noticed that they had yet to load the two Reaper's Bounties from the fort, so we headed to the FotD and quickly grabbed them from the loot piled outside the door. Wind was pointed directly at us from the Reaper's Hideout so the Brigantine had no chance to catch us as we headed to sell. This was also during gold rush, so we got a cool 40,000 for handing them in, as well as getting to have fun with a stronghold keg.
Your the only sea of thiefs youtuber i watch ahah🤣
