And yeah, cinematics and narrative have never been the focal point of the game, but strengthening those elements is the whole point of this update according to Rare. It's possibly a glitch, but definitely something to remember for your own playthrough.Īgain, it's far too early to judge Sea of Thieves' entire Adventures and Mysteries initiative, and I'll no doubt be playing the next one, but I was surprised and disappointed to see how similar the so-called new stuff is to the old stuff. To my great relief, I was able to quit the game and come back to Belle to complete the quest, but it makes you wonder why there's an option to continue the quest at all if all it does is rewind your progress. They also took all my stuff, but apparently Belle doesn't care as long as I vanquished the big bad of Shrouded Islands.Ī quick PSA for this part: when I played, Belle gave me two options when I approached her after beating the boss: 'complete the quest' or 'continue the quest.' Curious to a fault, I picked 'continue' and was placed at the beginning of the second chapter, even though I'd just finished the third and final chapter. I returned to Belle to turn in my loot and was met by another group of jerks who killed me, loosened my ship's anchor, and set it off in the wrong direction. Aside from the boss battle, which thankfully I had some help with, I slooped through the whole thing solo in under an hour. Naturally, I was set back a couple of times by griefers just looking to cause trouble, but that's part of the experience. You face off against waves of pretty standard ghosts and skellies until the big, bad boss ghost skellie shows up and you kill it too. The big showdown is pretty underwhelming too, especially if you've played a lot of Sea of Thieves or, really, any MMORPG.
