Honestly it would’ve been better if it was the sotf doing the ritual and explaining how the curse is a gift followed by a final rendition of who shall not be returning
I love this ritual. The Blessing of Athena’s Fortune is more of a gathering of people who see you as friends and will have your back. However, the Ritual of the Flame is just you removing your flesh and sacrificing yourself to a cause you believe benefits you, sacrificing yourself to your king. And I love that.
it would be really cool if along with the skeleton curse we unlocked the servant of the flame outfit, because reapers pajamas are okay, but the servant of the flame has the real drip.
we pledge our unending allegiance to the flame with countless vessels sunk in our wake charting a course of fire and fury we offer our hearts as tribute to you 👑🔥❤
Its been a week since i recieved the gift, and i still feel so proud to be among true pirates whom i feel like ive known for so many years. Still cant thank the max level reaper with full ship cosmetics enough for showing me the door to greatness.
I pledge my unending elegance to the flame With countless vessels sunk in my wake Charting a course of fire and fury I offer my heart as tribute to HIM
@Rst If you win a battle against an Athena ship, it’s about an average of 2 levels of allegiance. There is a more peaceful approach which is getting loot while devoted to the flame however that does mean there is the risk of Athena ships Hunting you. Remember you also get a small amount of allegiance if you lose a battle (usually around a quarter to half a level). I’d say Allegiance 100 could be done in a few weeks of casual playing.
This truly is the exact opposite of the Blessing. Instead of celebrating you and your accomplishments you work to be worthy of HIS name. It's quite similar to the Saviors in The Walking Dead. I can't wait to see what comes next
Fun fact the tree in that room is supposed to represent the fact that you need to go touch some grass Edit: because people think I’m serious or salty or something this is a joke
Yes the silly cup of lamefarts pee gives you the pirates for all eternity thing but it comes with a punishment a eternity of suffering and pain yes good one is the servant of the fart
Even as someone who is loyal to Athena’s Fortune, I think that this cutscene is pure badass, the Athena Blessing is good because it is really wholesome, and a nice moment, but this is the complete opposite, I love it.
pirates bow to no man, yet he thinks he can call himself the "pirate lord" as if he rules over others and he has the nerve to still call himself a pirate? he sits around all day, not sinking ships or burning people
Love how they set the curses behind level 100 like that's supposed to keep these people busy for a while. I think rare underestimates how little people have lives. People were posting videos having these curses literally the next day. 🤦♂️
will this still be around after the season ends? asking cause I am trying to make it so I have something to properly run sea of thieves but it might take a while
The PvP on-demand (and the rewards that go with it) is a new tool added to the game, like the Pirate's Life ghosts and crawlers from last year - it's not going away any time soon (if ever)
why the fuck would they delete all the new content after the season ends? I dont understand why you think they are going to delete 2 curses, 2 factions and the arena 2.0 feature when the season ends, you might be thinking of another game
perfect I can't wait for when I am able to play the game and I will try to get the requirements needed for the curse. Thank you for the information and hopefully, we will meet on the seas ( i might head to reapers immediately when I start to start getting reputation )
One thing is that, if King 'Captain' Flameheart Accepts You, Your Sacrifice Will Be Painless And You Won't Feel Anything Fatel. But If He Rejects You, You Will Still Become A Skeleton, And You Will Feel The Immense Burning Pain And Will Be Banished From The Reapers Lair/Hide Out (Or Game Over'ed By The Reapers And The Servernt's Army) And You Might Have Option To Join The Dark Breatheren (Correct Me In This Perticular Word if I Am Incorrect). My Opinion.
still havent got this curse as working towards legendary curse but once i get this i can't wait to see the ritual as always been on the reapers side and want to get this curse last as think its the best
@@RareThief I mean, you get that We Shall Sail Together shanty right, when you reach pl? Although it sounds a little different to the shanty used to reach the basement.
The stark contrast between a Athena’s and the reapers, Athena’s are grand like you earned immortality with them meanwhile the reapers merely deemed you a worthy enough warrior to never leave their grasp hence why the ghost curse is the only one in the game that’s called a blessing
Even though this Ritual looks evil I’m still convinced that Flameheart is actually the good guy or at least the better ruler. He wants to keep the seas to the Pirates and keep the freedom of piracy. I have a lot more to say about it but I don’t want to make a navel about it, point is that I’m feeling a twist coming up with the Pirate Lord and Flameheart. Kinda like Skyrim, where in the beginning Solitude is considered the bad guys but at the same time they are the best option to pick because they have the leadership and actually ability to have a chance to fight back against the Altmer.
Can we also discuss the fact that the pirate lord literally locked up all the loot of the SoT in chests so he could control the entire economy and sold the SoT out to trading companies and was only stopped when Rathbone literally plucked them of before releasing him to what could have been his death?
@@theinsidioushat7543 Ramsey did that so everyone would stop destroying each other day in and day out. A “fair game” rather than the strong rule. Also Rathbone isn’t a goodie either, given that he started one of the trading companies you hate so much
@@daultonwells625 A, I will agree Rathbone is not a good guy by any means. However Ramsey fundamentally changed the SoT as he saw fit and the execution of that gave him power, He specifically gave himself the only set of keys, that just sounds like a power grab. Not saying flamehearts perfect but Ramsey is no better, just a better marketing agent.
@@theinsidioushat7543 Flameheart is literally Ramsey as you described. He specifically is looking for ways that grant him total domination over the sea.
@@daultonwells625 Flameheart at least doesn't hide it. Flameheart allows his followers to do as they wish. Ramsey fundamentally also seeks control over the seas except he restricts his followers and hides his ambitions.
Thanks, I'll try to get it at my own pace. I'm glad that even losses will give you a bit of xp. For now I am focused on finishing the plunder pass before I jump into PvP.
I know that they tried to made so that your opinion matters and that you can decide what side is good and bad, but you can’t tell me that this isn’t the most evil dialogue ever 😂
I think it’s more like the Reapers represent a possible ideal for some pirates who are cynical about the way things are and want change, but the deeper you go in their ranks you see them for what they are and lose yourself to their malice and power. They aren’t openly revealed skeletons until you’ve reached their Lair

Flame Heart is the obvious villain of the Sea of Thieves, but his faction is so good, that most players just gravitate toward him. Crazy.

"Woah! Captain Flameheart needs me? Okay, I'll do it. I'm coming to bat for you, Flameheart! I got your back, Flameheart!"

He shall unite all thieves to true piracy
Being a skeleton must reduce drag, which makes retreating for them much easier.
