Ghost Fleet is a World Event in Sea of Thieves indicated by a swirling green cyclone appearing near a large island. Read on to find out how to find and start the Ghost Fleet event, how to beat Ghost Ships, the commendations, and the rewards you get for completing them!
The Ghost Fleet is an event that takes place near one of the large islands of Sea of Thieves and is visibly indicated by a swirling green cyclone hovering above the island.
In this world event, you will be participating against 4 waves of Ghost Ships with each wave spawning different types of Ghost Ships.
Wave 1 | Spawns Normal Ghost Ships How to Complete: Defeat 7 Ghost Ships |
---|---|
Wave 2 | Spawns 2 Ashen Dragon Captain Ships and Normal Ghost Ships How to Complete: Defeat the 2 Ashen Dragon Captain Ships. |
Wave 3 | Spawns Normal Ghost Ships How to Complete: Defeat 7 Ghost Ships |
Wave 4 | Spawns Flameheart's Ship: The Burning Blade, 2 Ashen Dragon Captain Ships and Normal Ghost Ships How to Complete: Defeat The Burning Blade Ship. |
Ghost Fleet World Events can appear even if the player opts to play in Safer Seas. However, in Safer Seas, you will get less gold for turning in treasure than when playing in High Seas.
In exchange for the lower rewards, you'll be safer while transporting your loot compared to High Seas where other players can fight you for your Ghost Fleet loot.
Tips for Beating the Ghost Fleet |
---|
|
The Ghost Fleet is one of the hardest events in the game as you'll be fighting off multiple Ghost Ships at once. Since this is an open seas event, playing on High Seas will also pose the danger of enemy player crews looking to gank you in order to get the event loot.
With the rather large spike in difficulty, we recommend having more than a hundred planks, a hundred cannonballs, and lots of food before you challenge the Ghost Fleet. Given that this is a multi-ship event battle, it is better to be overprepared than underprepared.
It is recommended for players to raise their sails to halfway point so that you have full control of the ship and also to not zoom past where you are going.
Sail as far away as possible from Ghost Ships as they can deal devastating damage when you are shot by their cannonballs.
A normal Ghost Ship will only take 3 shots with any type of cannonball. Ashen Dragon Ships take 10 shots and Burning Blade will take 24 Shots.
Throughout the fight, you will notice that Ghost Ships spawn by coming out of portals. If you're near one of them, take out the Ghost Ship that just spawned so you can clear the first and third waves faster.
Normal ships does not have a special design on their sails.
During the second wave, two Ashen Dragon ships will spawn alongside 2 normal Ghost Ships for each Ashen Dragon Ship.
During the fourth wave, Captain Flameheart's ship - the Burning Blade - will spawn alongside the ships from the second wave. Focus on defeating the normal Ghost Ships first before targetting the boss ships as they drop useful loot.
Defeating the boss ships first will automatically finish the wave, denying you from getting additional rewards.
Occassionally, the enemy ships will drop Ghost Mines which will explode upon touching it. Use your gun to shoot them before your ship hits them.
