There are some ways to lose quest progress in Sea Of Thieves, whether or not it’s an assault by the kraken or fellow pirates, however a bug is unquestionably the largest bummer solution to go residence empty-handed. There’s a nasty new respawning bug that may set you again hours within the closing Tall Tale quest within the Shores Of Gold story. Rare are conscious of the problem, nevertheless it is likely to be finest to keep away from that specific journey till it’s undoubtedly solved.
The final quest within the Shores Of Gold story is a Tall Tale by the identical title. Shores Of Gold will take you to the northeast-most nook of the game map to finish a number of hours of puzzles, fights, and traps along with your crew. The closing battle towards The Gold Hoarder is the place this nasty bug can actually knock you down a peg. If you die throughout your battle with the treasure-hoarding skeleton lord, there’s an opportunity that as a substitute of respawning inside the identical room you’ll be teleported to a completely totally different space—the catacombs for the newly-added Hearts Of Fire quest. You received’t instantly fail Shores of Gold, however you might very properly be caught with no solution to return to The Gold Hoarder’s chamber and be pressured to desert the Voyage.
Needless to say, dropping a number of hours on certainly one of Sea of Theives’ tough Tall Tale quests is an enormous bummer. My crewmate and I managed to get ourselves again into the boss battle just by being cussed sufficient to kill ourselves in close by swimming pools of lava till the game relented and spawned us again the place we had been meant to be. Some different pirates say that repeatedly dying solved the issue for them, however others weren’t as fortunate.
If you die to The Gold Hoarder and get up right here, I’ve obtained unhealthy information for you.
I’ve obtained fairly good luck in relation to bugs in games. I don’t suppose I’ve ever had a corrupted save file, skilled any irreparable character setback, or had almost as a lot bother with Red Dead Redemption 2 bugs as my posse-mates. Given that I personally skilled this specific bug (and Reddit comments by many different pirates) I get the sensation it’s fairly widespread. Beyond being widely-experienced, the potential for a lot misplaced effort and time makes it an actual doozy.
Rare are conscious of the problem and are monitoring it on the Sea Of Thieves support site however the subject has remained open since final week. I’m positive Rare could have issues ship form earlier than lengthy however within the meantime, possibly postpone placing a pin in Shores Of Gold.
Bugs and all, it’s nonetheless one of many best pirate games on PC.
