303 achievements Guide 32% Multiplayer

Its very easy to make a chunky dent in the achievements for this game, some can be done right in the opening moments (Legends - "Cronch"Legends - "Cronch", What Shall We Do with a Drunken Sailor?What Shall We Do with a Drunken Sailor?), and some more soon after setting sail for the first time (Handbrake TurnHandbrake Turn, Full BillowFull Billow and others).

There's a chunk of grinding to do (yay), inevitably for a live service MMO-ish type of game. As a fully open-world sandbox there isn't really a campaign as such - so in the guide here we have defined 'Story' as 'do everything for the three trading companies and become a Pirate Legend (Become Pirate LegendBecome Pirate Legend), plus the original sequence of Tall Tales.

The grind achievements are a grind, but they are unlocked as a consequence of getting commendations (i.e. unlocked at various points in the grind), so progress toward them isn't reported in the same way as a normal 'get X kills' type achievement. The achievements are all for the Grade 5 (highest) level for the category. These will take a good while to unlock them all - albeit with good use of Emissary flags to boost gold/XP its nowhere near as painful as it was at launch.

Nothing is missable and there's no difficulty setting - just set sail and enjoy!

But many achievements are Unobtainable; as they relate to the old Arena mode that was removed in a previous update. There is no way to get these and no chance of this ever being reinstated.

Note; this is an online-only shared-world game. Most of it you can solo, but some achievements require that you engage with other players, including Dead Pirates DO Tell TalesDead Pirates DO Tell Tales, Did Everyone See That?Did Everyone See That?, Friends Not FoeFriends Not Foe, Legends - "The Greatest Race of All Time!"Legends - "The Greatest Race of All Time!", Legends - "This is Unacceptable!"Legends - "This is Unacceptable!", Legends - "The Skullduggers"Legends - "The Skullduggers", Tactical ChunderTactical Chunder, I'm On A Whole New AdventureI'm On A Whole New Adventure, and maybe Ignoring The Rules Of EngagementIgnoring The Rules Of Engagement, How Appropriate! You Fight Like A ChickenHow Appropriate! You Fight Like A Chicken and You Fight Like A MerchantYou Fight Like A Merchant as well.

It is highly recommended that you use microphone to contact other players, this is a great way to boost up achievements that require you to act as friends or foes. Also the LFG channels in the Sea of Thieves Discord are a great place to find people to sail with, for the achievements and also for general progress.

Some reports (unconfirmed) that this can be glitchy, but you can attempt it anytime. Likely easiest solo so you can use the smaller ship.

Its helpful to aim at a mast (you won't take damage for hitting it!) so you can splat the mast and fall to the deck.

In Good Company

GrindOptionalAnywhere

A Company's items are sold to the loyal, five upgrades rewards you with their finest spoil!

Another painful grind; you can do this for any of the items that the trading companies sell you (each one has two items you can buy). the max level upgrade only becomes available when you're at rank 45 with the trading company, and it will cost a total of 15,000 gold to buy through the upgrades.

It's A Pirates Life For Me

It's A Pirates Life For Me

ObjectiveOptionalAnywhere

The Voyage is done; a chest of old now safe with those who hoard their gold!

Gold Hoarders are one of the three factions you'll do missions for. These are the ones in the small tent with the gold key flag outside and a wizened dude inside.

Krack Shot

Hit a Kraken tentacle with scattershot.

Kraken Good Job

Kraken Good Job

ObjectiveOptionalAnywherePreviously-glitched

From under the waves a great creature arrived but you drove it away. Better still, you survived!

The kraken appears randomly as you sail around; it could spawn could happen anytime while at sea, to a single ship. There is no way to trigger it (nor avoid it) - except that it cannot appear at the same time as another world event. It is defeatable easily with a single ship - just keep hitting the tentacles with cannonfire until it retreats.

Avoid being grabbed by a tentacle and lifted off the ship - if you're solo this is the most likely way to end up sunk and fail.

Laden With Treasure

Laden With Treasure

ObjectiveOptionalAnywhere

You've overcome a score of tests and now you're hoarding twenty chests!

Yeah, loot lots before turning in, and pray nobody takes you out. Easiest when working together for the achievement with 4 players on a galleon.

Use the Gold Hoarders' Ancient Vault quests - for 8 or so chests at a time.

Note the chests don't actually have to be on your ship - just in your "possession"; so just picking a chest up counts as making it yours.

ObjectiveOptionalMulti-player

Legends - "The Skullduggers"

ObjectiveOptionalMulti-player

Five legends from across the sea playing instruments in harmony!

What it says on the tin; stand in a group of 5 players and all play a musical instrument at the same time.

But, the bit that makes this harder is 5 players, and there's a max of 4 on your ship. So you need to be lucky with a friendly crew at an outpost, or in an alliance with one. Chat/voice comms to request everyone goes to the tavern for the achievement definitely helps.

Legends - "This is Unacceptable!"
