I found out via a supply crate that you can bring things above water below and the mermaids would still take it. Ever since, I wanted to try and bring some gunpowder kegs under and make a 'mermaid trap' of sorts and get an enemy ship to chase me through a treasury spot and end up getting 20 kegs to the hull... probably *WAY* too tedious in action with little to no payoff, but maybe you could try it?
Someone tried this on me actually, parked their sloop at a shrine waiting for me to go over to him. Except i was coming to give him my loot cuz i was leaving and he sunk himself instead of me lol
Me and my crew like to play in rowboats only sometimes and we use this method to store key pieces of loot that we steal from ships. Especially if there chasing after us to get there loot back. It's honestly overpowered.
I love how halfway through winning, he decided, "nope, more bloodshed." and just flew in and started destroying everyone, even using other crews cannons.
I think the mermaids holding your statues are a thing both for the fact that you're extremely vulnerable while doing a shrine, as well as the fact that it would be a huge pain to deal with getting the loot if you couldn't store it. Either you send the loot up as you're doing it where you would both have to worry about someone getting it while you're down and can't tell and also have to speedrun the shrine before your loot starts sinking. The other alternative would be to send all of the loot up at the end where it would basically be a more annoying version of Merchant Lost Cargo runs. I don't have too much of a problem with the current system. It seems pretty similar to burrying a bunch of treasure on islands and getting rid of the map bundle. The biggest concern I see here is that you can do all of the shrines/treasuries before you collect. Perhaps Rare could make it so that your treasure automatically gets released when you leave the shrine/treasury, or keep the treasure in the mermaids but have it so that other crews can access the loot too once you leave.
I think the limitation should be that all other Treasury/Shrine statues will no longer store loot for you if a statue at any other Treasury/Shrine is currently storing at least 1 loot. That way you can't run multiple then come back and get loot from multiple locations all at the same time. You're forced to loot it right now and have to defend that loot while you run more, like every other activity in the game.
@For the Omnissiah maybe an even simpler solution: have all treasury mermaids share the 20 loot limit, so if you want to go get the breath of the sea on every treasury and """maximize""" your profit (i mean, time wise its a waste but still) thats ok but you're not getting everything from everywhere
I love the image of him fighting the burning pirate on his ship with their mast burning and the sloop slowly sinking while his own ship drops below the waves in the background. Majestic work of art LMAO
It took me 5 vids and the MHA music to realize. “Wait, that’s cliff terios”. Dude loved your ow content, actually got me to play(and get better at) overwatch, 🙏thanks. Ps. Loving the sot vids
can we just a moment to appreciate the fact that we attacked from another players galloen at the player brig, thus agro'ing them onto the galleon first and then slipping away to his full health sloop ship to finish them off. a true stroke of reaper genius there my friend, i trip my grog to you good sir
Out of all the videos I watched, I came to this conclusion. Cliff and his buddies are true pirates of the Sea Of Thieves. They take what they can and give nothing back. They’re willing to help others. Perfectly balanced between PVE and PVP.
Bro you're channel is all over my recommened videos and I literally never watch Sea of Thieves, the youtube gods are smiling on you. Keep up the great videos, love the narrative aspect
personally i love the decision to protect loot like this. for me and my friends, all of us are pretty miserable at pvp but still really enjoy the game and still like to play it. we paid money for the game same as everyone else and i'm glad rare is doing the bare minimum to ensure players like us don't have our whole play experience ruined by other players.
But they already added that with burying treasure. Or running and selling at outposts. This is just a way to cheese it more. Having a problem holding unto loot comes to simply lack of skill. You shouldn't get rewarded for sucking...
I had no idea you had a second channel just dedicated to sea of thieves! I loved the ones on your main channel, but hoped there'd be more. I'm glad there is, keep up the great work friend!
It works both ways. I was doing a treasury once and little did I know that another crew saw my ship parked over it and knew I was in there. So they did a drive-by and dropped two guys off who swam down, the ship apparently kept going. As soon as I finished the treasury and the vault opened the two guys who were waiting ran up behind me and killed me before I even realized they were in there. They then grabbed the expensive items, stored them for themselves, then returned to their ship. By the time they I re-spawned they were already gone, so I went to my ship expecting to battle them topside retrieving, but there was nothing on the horizon. They were gone. Their ship had kept going and was long gone by time they rejoined it. I wasn't going to camp all day waiting for them to return for it though so that was that. But yea, you're making a big deal about it. It's not completely safe and it can work against you as well.
Your a inspiration to me in PvP you consider yourself only decent but your excellent, I'm really bad and its not even a lack of experience I've been on the seas since day 1, yet I can't win a fight, and I'm usually a solo sloop so at this point I just stick to PvE options. At least I did all the shrines without hints ;)
On the two sloops fighting over the fort - when day oners find a good fight, we fight. It could be over a fucking foul skull. We fight. Good video, I’m subbed.
For a "new guy" your doing good, at times ud say Better then me. Keep up the good work. ☺️ Love the content. Do you always solo sloop, or have i missed any vids with others?
@@CliffTheStoryGuy Guess I missed them. Sad face. I through I was a real fan. Blimey! But great nonetheless. I often solo, since my friends dont play it much, but sailing with others in a team really chances the experience.
I am super selective with my subscriptions, but between your recent video on community day and this one I have to subscribe. Super quality for a relatively smaller channel. Got me in the mood to take up SoT again! Really enjoy your content!
Most cheesey part about the Shrine Mermaids is that you can give them any loot, not just mermaid loot. If you we're being chased by a much bigger ship and you had a chest of legends you could sail past a shrine and sneakily swim your chest down to the mermaids, then fight without risk of losing it. Likewise Burying treasure, you can bury your chest in a grassy area where the dark patch is impossible to see, screenshot your map location, then throw your treasure map overboard. This gives the enemy player literally 0 possible chance of finding your loot, and you're free to fight with no risk. Shrine Mermaids, Burying Treasure and Portal Hopping w/ Emissary are all ways a competent crew could effectively never lose a single piece of loot and never have to fight to defend it.
Really glad to find your channel a week or two ago - I'll admit I was initially skeptical given your low subscriber count, but that will certainly change soon if you keep up this level of content. I've always wondered why a game like this doesn't breed a more interesting online content community (or maybe the videos I've seen just weren't for me), but these are great. Love the style, love the humour, love the length. Keep these up and I think you will draw in plenty of fans.
One time i was in a fight with one crew on a server after getting caught in a 4-1 at a fort. They sunk my ship at first and then i boarded their ship and hid until i got bored lol. They finished a voyage and ended up killing me. I then got my new ship and headed back in that direction and got sooo lucky finding that same crew at a shrine. So they are all under the water unaware and I (a sloop) and just taking shots at their Galleon (which had ALL of their voyage loot btw. It took me a while to take it down because of my angle trying to do it quickly lol, but right after i sink their ship and get their loot. They use their mermaid to return to their ship…. So they returned to their new ship somewhere while the mermaid loot floated right to me 😂😂😂😂😂 i messaged them thanking them for the free loot and while at first i failed, i pulled a heist even the greatest pirate legends would be proud of
Bro, im also kinda new to the game, but what the hell, your content is hella awsome. Like one day i felt realy bored and i was like okey im gonna play this youtube video, it's was your video that have like 1 hour and 45 mins or something like that, and i instantly fell in love. Keep this up and i hope we will met at the sea ! ;)
i know i'm kinda late to the party, but i feel like a good solution would be making it so that anyone could claim the loot from the mermaid, but that it only appears when the crew returns to the surface, that way your loot could be safe while looting the shrine and you don't have to worry about carrying it up but it could still be stolen from you upon your return
someone has probably mentioned this before, but i found out the hard way that your loot isnt safe with the mermaids. the mermaid with all of your loot at the surface of the ocean can be accessed by anyone on the server. they just interact with it just like you would and take all the loot. the only difference is they dont see the purple flare from their staves. so your loot still isnt safe
Im late asf, but Thanks for the awesome content!! You made my day alot better after seeing this when I got off work. Gonna make a cup of coffee, roll a smoke, watch your high seas hyjinks, and chill.
I remember that one time when I stole a chest of ancient tributes and just let my boat drift away while I stashed it in a shrine I sailed past while getting chased, let the ship drift away as a decoy. I completed the shrine and fetched the stored loot.
I rarely do these undersea items myself... but once while on an open Brig, we came across another Brig doing a treasury.... I snuck on board and tucked... and I waited while the rest of my crew and ship sailed a little way away and hid behind the closes island... I then just waited until they came up. They were extremely cautious... it took them forever to finally pop the merm... but at that point I called my ship in and I it sailed in and attacked while I started making trouble on their ship. We eventually took them down and took their nice merm loot... It's all about patience and waiting sometimes.
Season 4 (the update adding those treasuries) was the only season I DIDN’T play in, and I regret it a little. I saw an unlockable crossbow sniper rifle and WISHED I sailed during that time period
Today on the sea of thieves: 1 reaper flag raised, 2 idiots piloting a brigantine, 3 skeleton galleons destroyed , 4 emissary flags sold, 5 supply crates stolen, 6 player ships sunk. And many, MANY, dead pirates. Today was a good day.
I always stack shrines then go pick up emisey afterwards and just go pick up all the loot , and yes the loot STAYS in the mermaid while you portal hop, i also keep track of the amount of chests, skulls and gems i get so i know what emisery to pick up xD
I started doing lost shipment voyages like a day ago and oh my god that is more profitable than anything I did before its not a hard quest and it has plenty of good loot and the profit skyrockets when u have merchant emissary flag with one voyage i managed to get it to lvl 5 like wtf and the loot sells for so much it is awesome for a solo slooper like myself I recommend trying it out
Best thing to do... Steal a Fort of Fortune key and stash at the mermaid statue. The Key disappears from the map and people think you used it. And leave your ship alone to go get the fort. After a hour or so, go back and get the key, no orange skull to warn everyone.
The other day I stalked a sloop that was diving for mermaid shrines. While the crew was underwater I loaded their treasures onto my boat. Then I hid my ship behind a rock waiting for them to get back aboard. The moment they interacted with their mermaid I came around the corner and started blasting, sunk them and collected their stuff. I like the mermaid, it gives them an element of security that you can subvert by laying an ambush.
I don't mind using the mermaid since the treasury and shrines are deep underwater, but you should be forced to then get your loot once you resurface.....it shouldn't allow you to stack & hoard with zero risk. That's the stupid part of this specific thing Rare made
My take on mermaid stashing: There are plenty of other opportunities all over the game to steal from other players. It's okay for this one "exception" to be in the game.
the loot is quite bad from shrines... u can just tuck when u see 1 or hide behind a good rock and take the 1 doing the shrines out, but besides the potion u can get with q, its really not worth doing
last time i did one of those mermaid things i my ship was sunk and all the loot stolen and that was before reapers it sucked cause we spent so much time down there
There are a few reasons for why I am holding off on linking socials in the description but Discord and all that other stuff will come at a later time for reasons that will make sense when that time comes. Until then, I suggest hitting the bell to turn on notifications if you'd like to be notified about my uploads!
Hey! Not sure if you'll see this, but I thought I'd give you some PvP advice (If you even want it, I just watched that first fight and noticed a couple things). First, if you're on an enemy ship, and you managed to knock them off, don't jump in after them! You have a huge advantage because now you can just ladder guard their ship while you have access to food and ammo and they don't. Second, when you engaged them you sailed parallel to them but going opposite directions. The issues with doing that are A: Because you're sailing in opposite directions, you will only have a very brief period of time to shoot them. Only enough time to maybe knock their mast down and get one or 2 cannon balls in. You want to give yourself an angle on their ship for as long as possible. And B: You gave them a broadside. While it was a brief one, they took advantage of it. What you could've done is instead of sailing right next to them, if you cranked it hard right or left and put them in your broad side while they sail towards you, you can shoot them but they can't shoot you. A good crew will react to your turn and try to out-turn you to get an angle, but if you turn fast enough they won't be able to react and you can do a lot of damage. Just some suggestions I have, I don't want to sound pretentious or patronizing it's just I figured it would be useful. Especially since Arena is closing, getting good PvP practice will be way harder and a much slower process.
i saw you using a harpoon on a keg in the beginning of the vid. be carefull with doing that. it has exploded in my face plenty of times when i harpooned a keg.
Cliff is very modest he's at least as good as phuzzy Bond not many people would take out three different active enemy ships at the same time by themselves most people can't handle one enemy ship by themselves
2 days ago I was doing the vault and my friend said someone sunk our ship. I pressed return to ship and traveled back and collected it all. It was only the vault but still pretty lucky
The mermaid statues are great for bringing the loot to the top, but to make it more fare, other crews should be able to grab the loot from the mermaid at the top the the shrine/treasury.
I agree but i dont think its that big of a deal since its not accessible outside of those underwater places and most players dont do those since its not really worth it lol... I think the community should go harder on topics like PvP quality and balance, like for example, why does the blunderbuss still able to one shot, why getting spawn camped in your own ship still a thing or how server hopping still allowed... Edit: great video, im first timer herr but i really enjoyed it!
I found out via a supply crate that you can bring things above water below and the mermaids would still take it.

How does it feel to influence a video?
Me and my crew like to play in rowboats only sometimes and we use this method to store key pieces of loot that we steal from ships. Especially if there chasing after us to get there loot back. It's honestly overpowered.
I love how this started as a way to test if the statues were actually busted to hide loot but then just evolved into normal play
Usually how that goes isn't it
I love how halfway through winning, he decided, "nope, more bloodshed." and just flew in and started destroying everyone, even using other crews cannons.
And dude claims not to be a pvp lord, swear it's all he does lol

Any Solo Sloopers in the chatroom?
Yes i acctualy have never been on a crew with other players i want to try it tho
Solo sloop quite often, not by necessity but because I like to play alone sometimes.
im a solo sloop
i play solo and with friends
I solo sloop every once in a while but it's suuuper scary to be all alone >.< I prefer playing with friends or joining open crews

ill always love the story telling like videos about sea of thieves, cuz thats whats its all about, stories
i love ur vids dude hopefully u blow up soon the quality is amazing
heyyy just found your channel, wanted to say your videos are great keep going man :3
Today on the sea of thieves: 1 reaper flag raised, 2 idiots piloting a brigantine, 3 skeleton galleons destroyed , 4 emissary flags sold, 5 supply crates stolen, 6 player ships sunk. And many, MANY, dead pirates.
Today was a good day.
Cliff woke up and chose violence XD

Cool vid but what ship apearance are you using?
(sorry for bad english)
I always stack shrines then go pick up emisey afterwards and just go pick up all the loot , and yes the loot STAYS in the mermaid while you portal hop, i also keep track of the amount of chests, skulls and gems i get so i know what emisery to pick up xD
Your diligence is an inspiration
6:20 Yep, I think it's called : Suffering from Success !
True
I always use a harpoon row boat when solo to take loot right into the reapers hideout, saves a lot of time and running back and forth
I started doing lost shipment voyages like a day ago and oh my god that is more profitable than anything I did before its not a hard quest and it has plenty of good loot and the profit skyrockets when u have merchant emissary flag with one voyage i managed to get it to lvl 5 like wtf and the loot sells for so much it is awesome for a solo slooper like myself I recommend trying it out
I tried grinding those out but after I complete one lost shipment voyage I always get bored 😭
It should always get you to level 5
Great vid can't wait till next Tuesday
good job on your pvp. ive been playing for years and you're doing awesome!
Thank you, I'm definitely trying my best out there!

What are these cannons at 3:33 ?? They look badass
The other day I stalked a sloop that was diving for mermaid shrines. While the crew was underwater I loaded their treasures onto my boat. Then I hid my ship behind a rock waiting for them to get back aboard. The moment they interacted with their mermaid I came around the corner and started blasting, sunk them and collected their stuff.
I like the mermaid, it gives them an element of security that you can subvert by laying an ambush.
I remember when the game first came out and the unwritten rules of the sea was to never sink merchant alliance sailors
Can other players interact with the mermaids to take your stored loot?
I don't mind using the mermaid since the treasury and shrines are deep underwater, but you should be forced to then get your loot once you resurface.....it shouldn't allow you to stack & hoard with zero risk. That's the stupid part of this specific thing Rare made
underrated
My take on mermaid stashing: There are plenty of other opportunities all over the game to steal from other players. It's okay for this one "exception" to be in the game.
yes. its not that big of a deal, plus the loot in the treasuries is not incredible, so who cares.
thats it your videos are to good take my sub
And what would happend with all those abandoned mermaids when server merges? Would they stay if you're not near them?
Somebody in the comments said if you were to portal-hop the mermaids would come with you, but no idea about server merges
Holy shit you rocked!!! That awesome!!!
the loot is quite bad from shrines... u can just tuck when u see 1 or hide behind a good rock and take the 1 doing the shrines out, but besides the potion u can get with q, its really not worth doing
@8:15 Song?
The mermaid that releases the loot is only available above the shrine we can't go to an outpost bring up the loot to sell quicker trust me I've tried
Love the vids
last time i did one of those mermaid things i my ship was sunk and all the loot stolen and that was before reapers it sucked cause we spent so much time down there
and I and my other pirate pals get these days cause of forts is PVE reapers that just run away from a Merchant/Athena Vessel.
Worked, thx
That music at the start for some reason makes me wanna laugh at the angry kid in class who got a new hairdo... not sure why.
Does anyone know the name of the cannons used by the solo sloopers hat 3:30
Could you make a discord for the channel, the notifications for videos will be more consistent and it is a better way to interract with the community
There are a few reasons for why I am holding off on linking socials in the description but Discord and all that other stuff will come at a later time for reasons that will make sense when that time comes. Until then, I suggest hitting the bell to turn on notifications if you'd like to be notified about my uploads!
Hey! Not sure if you'll see this, but I thought I'd give you some PvP advice (If you even want it, I just watched that first fight and noticed a couple things).
First, if you're on an enemy ship, and you managed to knock them off, don't jump in after them! You have a huge advantage because now you can just ladder guard their ship while you have access to food and ammo and they don't.
Second, when you engaged them you sailed parallel to them but going opposite directions. The issues with doing that are A: Because you're sailing in opposite directions, you will only have a very brief period of time to shoot them. Only enough time to maybe knock their mast down and get one or 2 cannon balls in. You want to give yourself an angle on their ship for as long as possible. And B: You gave them a broadside. While it was a brief one, they took advantage of it. What you could've done is instead of sailing right next to them, if you cranked it hard right or left and put them in your broad side while they sail towards you, you can shoot them but they can't shoot you. A good crew will react to your turn and try to out-turn you to get an angle, but if you turn fast enough they won't be able to react and you can do a lot of damage.
Just some suggestions I have, I don't want to sound pretentious or patronizing it's just I figured it would be useful. Especially since Arena is closing, getting good PvP practice will be way harder and a much slower process.
Shooting at an enemy ship with another enemy ship's canons is hilarious.
I’m not usually that guy but as someone who Ends up solo sloop lots I would like to have more ppl to play with on a sloop lol
Cliff be like I’m such a noob meanwhile
i saw you using a harpoon on a keg in the beginning of the vid. be carefull with doing that. it has exploded in my face plenty of times when i harpooned a keg.
Cliff is very modest he's at least as good as phuzzy Bond not many people would take out three different active enemy ships at the same time by themselves most people can't handle one enemy ship by themselves
2 days ago I was doing the vault and my friend said someone sunk our ship. I pressed return to ship and traveled back and collected it all. It was only the vault but still pretty lucky
The mermaid statues are great for bringing the loot to the top, but to make it more fare, other crews should be able to grab the loot from the mermaid at the top the the shrine/treasury.
No
When i first watched ur vids i thought you were a big channel bro how do you only have 3k
Maybe I can be a big channel in the future? 😳
@@CliffTheStoryGuy for sure u were at 2k like days ago you growinngfast
I agree but i dont think its that big of a deal since its not accessible outside of those underwater places and most players dont do those since its not really worth it lol...
I think the community should go harder on topics like PvP quality and balance, like for example, why does the blunderbuss still able to one shot, why getting spawn camped in your own ship still a thing or how server hopping still allowed...
Edit: great video, im first timer herr but i really enjoyed it!
Are you playing on 4k resolution?
What was the ship set you were using cliff?
Merchant Emissary Ledger Rewards on most of my ship with the Sails of the Blue Horizon because I like blue
@@CliffTheStoryGuy thanks Man. You sure knownhow to put colours together
yayy a new Cliff video
yayy a new ben515 comment!
