- How to STOP CHASERS (For Beginners) | Sea of Thieves
Running away is.. Quite a common occurence on the Sea of Thieves, but when it comes to the means of HOW to run away or how to stop chasers, there is a lot of variance in the tactics you can employ.
You don't owe anybody a fight so why should you willingly engage somebody who outnumbers you? As much as I don't want to promote more Reaper Runners on the sea, defending yourself against Reaper Emissaries is something you need to know how to do in order to make a profit.
So today, I take you on a journey in which I employed several different strategies in order to rid myself of a tenacious Reaper Emissary. Enjoy!

Dude. Your channel is small. But I'm staying here. This is easily the best Sea of Thieves content I've found in a while. Maybe at all. You got yourself a sub for lifeee
Welcome aboard!
@@CliffTheStoryGuy I’m really happy to find your channel. This is the first and won’t be the last video I watch!
I agree
Ahoy you do have great content!
FACTS
One time me and a friend on a sloop found a good alliance crew who were also in a sloop. We were sticking together doing voyages. Just having fun and making a bit of money.
Then a Reaper galleon started chasing us. At the time I was still relatively new and didn't want to fight, so our alliance hatched a plan.
We loaded just about all of our loot (which wasn't much but it was ours) onto our alliance ship, and my crewmate went with them.
We were sailing together but my vessel was closer to the bloodthirsty galleon, so I was the bait and they focused on me.
We lured them into the center of a storm. With visibility low, our loot ship broke off and headed in a different direction. The galleon still chasing me, as planned. I tried dropping trinkets and skulls into the water to either distract them or persuade them to leave me alone. It didn't work, and they just kept chasing me.
I didn't have much of a plan beyond this, so I kept running. A few minutes later an amazing thing happened. They got kraken'd.
I watched for a short time before I started sailing away again. As I was running they were still battling the kraken and an EVEN BETTER thing happened. A thick fog rolled in, reducing visibility to damn near zero. And the fog rolled in as I was making a turn around an island. So even if they were keeping tabs on me they wouldn't have seen where I went. I made they perfect getaway and they never found me while our loot ship sold the goods.
shoulda went back and put some holez in em
I didn't know this was a small channel. This really has big channel vibes and honestly, keep it up and you'll find yourself becoming huge. Got a sub from me. Also this helped a lot since I suck at combat
One thing to keep in mind that will help you with all combat is you trying to set the terms of combat if you know you're going to have to fight choose where you're going to fight and how you're going to fight
To be 100% this was probably the most historically accurate representation of what it meant to be a pirate. Never take a fight you can’t guarantee victory in, and run like hell if you find the odds slipping out of your favor. Also tricking others into doing the work for you.
According to pajama partyists, being a pirate means dropping your anchor whenever someone fires in your general direction.
I was once being chased by a Brig for a long time, then I came across a Galleon and yelled at them "There's a brig over there" and they went past us and sunk the Brig. Then they gave us all their loot and left.
You: *Uses skelly ships and boarding to stop chasers*
Me and my fellow Skeleton Exploders: *Light keg fuses with malicious intent*
As long as you live to tell the tale the channel will have content and the viewers will be happy!
Awesome content! Started playing SoT a few weeks ago and your videos are some of the best I've seen. Solo sloopin is fun but I am terrible at PVP so appreciate the tips here haha.
I’m glad the algorithm served up your new channel to me, Cliff. I think this game lends itself to your storytelling abilities much more than OW.
it is so hard to find great sea of thieves content like this still. Definitely earned my sub please dont stop uploadin this game theres not too many people that still do
Excellent video, my guy. In addition, I came up with an interesting way to avoid drawn out chase and combat with a reaper by stowing all my loot on a rowboat, dropping at Sanctuary and just letting the ship run free for them to chase after. After everything was sold about ten minutes later, I returned to my boat and found them still chasing, so I turned around, dropped anchor at Sanctuary and lowered my emissary flag. They stopped chasing pretty soon after. I'm sure plenty of people have come up with it before, but I was very proud of myself.
ya if you can bail and prevent them from noticen your loot excape most chassers will not try to look as if you leave ya ship to get taken after a itme INOT the wind than not only will you basicly get freedom to sell ya goods but also they get nothing but dirt and if you normally keep little around on ship than supplies for them are skimpted.
I had even emptied my cannon and wood barrels into my storage crate, so even if they had caught my ship they would've gotten absolutely nothing
@@balmoraman4 smart man
Yea done this on a galleon with friends! One takes the rowboat out and the rest of us man the ship firing at them, attempted boards, ect to keep busy from our missing rowboat and loot
Sometimes 2 reapers show up right after you solo an ashen captain and you gotta hide your loot beside a sea rock while also staying out of sight of the reaper sloop that's currently destroying your ship that has NO loot because you put it all on a rowboat that you found beside the island
There's no need to pvp when you can be sneaky
Now you can bury stuff in the ground and receive a map to come back to it later haha
Our just pvp them lmao
@@titusmctavish2852 the best way
Your commentary is gold. I don’t understand how you don’t have way more subscribers. Everyone that liked this video should’ve subscribed
The only channel with SoT content I can listen to and know what is going on without seeing it. Thanks for making the workday easier.
Bro I started this game 4 days ago and this content has made it the best starting experience possible! Keep up your AMAZING work because you really deserved way more subs Than you have! Love this vid.
I just got pirates legend so I’m going to be playing reapers a lot more. Hopefully some of your videos will help me keep some tricks up my sleeve
Another menace on the sea. Go get 'em champ!
Thats all I do Reap the seas
@@CliffTheStoryGuy I love being the menace of every server I join
Congrats my g
Please don't hurt me..
Another tale of the ages, truly the hardened spirt of a solo slooper
I agree this is the best mixture of lore and story telling at the same time. Keep it up!
Not sure how your channel is this small, you've made the best sot content I've seen so far
Great content, definitely keep this up and thank you
Ive been addicted to this Channel while waiting for Sot to come out on Ps5. Cant wait to join the fun!
I have only watched you for 3 minutes and im already hooked on your sort of content xD its really good
Love your channel! Keep up the good work!
Earned my subscription easily, effort and quality my friend.
This guys content is so good and the commentary is even better because he explains how to do stuff
I love storms for getting rid of chasers when I'm slooping it. It seems so few outside of dedicated Solos and competent galleons seem to know how to handle a storm and chase someone through it especially if you are running completely dark.
cliff! please i think i/we can say that your content is awesome! please give us more and more and we’ll keep watching keep up the awesome work
Sometimes you gotta run to fight another day
Right
Thanks for the awesome content!!
Best sea of thieves channel absolutely love your content
You are my favorite Sea of Thieves youtuber you are so chill but at the same time so funny :D
I started late but your tips helped 3 days in and loving it thanks 😊
Thanks so much for the vid. I could really use it. I got a lot of loot from forts just for it to be taken all away after being chased around the map TWICE by a brig. Good to know how to fend em off
Nice video! Extremely underappreciated
This is the most rewatchable content, keep up
Now I completed, finished seeing all of your videos, marvelous content
A very similar thing happened to me yesterday! Love this game so much!
as somebody who has taken a vow never to attack others unless absolutely necessary (both IRL and in video games when possible), this video is quite helpful!
Glad I found your channel, last night I had trouble with a sloop who for some unknown reason decided to chase me down as I was doing a gold hoarders voyage, after a few miles I realized I was between them and a storm so I decided to do something crazy, I had a keg below decks so I got it and had to align my dive with their ship, moved over a little but I was perfectly in line when they came up to me while I was in the water. I was spotted but they missed with their shots and I lit the fuse and clicked my mic on under them and said “bad decision following me” and BOOM!, don’t think they sunk but the storm definitely gave them problems, never saw them again
"some unknown reason"......... ur what wrong with this game...... the reason was they saw a player ship and said im tried of doing the same three pve mission types and actually wanna pvp on a pirate game that has 5 ships max on a server..... no reason 🤦🏽♂️
@@funtimes237exactly, new players just don’t get it
I'm not even playing SoT but I really enjoy watching your content and taking in the stories
Great video! THX!
I use a strategy I call Island Juking. If you find yourself being chased, make sure you stay on top of the direction of the wind. Find the nearest large island, like Thieves Haven or Smugglers Bay. Once you get near the Island, keep close eye of which direction the enemy is going and make your way around the island out of sight. They will either follow on the same path or go around the other side. Once you have an idea of what direction they're going, raise your sails and turn the ship in the opposite side relative to the enemy. Wait a moment for them to get around the island and when you think they are just around the corner, drop the sails and do a harpoon turn around the Island and sail directly away. If there is one of the large pointy rocks, get around that out of sight and continue sailing forward. This can either put large space between you and the enemy or confuse the enemy into losing you. The ones I last did this to had the bright idea to make landfall and they lost me.
Dude i love this content for begginers tips and trics i just love to watch that.
great tale, it was worth my time to stop at the tavern
Great video, you deserve way more subs
Thank you for an epic video my good Sir thank you ❤🔥
You should make a guide to stop runners as well. This is great content tho
All riiight, I subbed too. 😁
I love your vids, keep it up
Cool highlights dude.
I'm surprised you don't have more subs your content is great
Love this thank you. I'm a solo player. I really want a good crew to play with however I'm a introvert sooo I end up playing by myself alot. I dont get chased often these days but long ago when I had no treasures I would lure them into red sea if they were not paying attention they would be in to far to turn around. Surprisingly worked well if you can keep up the repairs.
Yo if you want we can play! If you're on xbox my username is Unipegasus07
This some exquisite content
This is the best form of advice I was ever given: Just tell them you have fish and they’ll leave you alone, always works
I finished watching this video, booted up sea of thieves, then found myself in a chase 30 minutes in. Since I watched this video, and with a little luck, I managed to get away! Thanks!
What a wild ride!
was getting chased by another brig, i cranked the wheel all the way right and had my friend drop the anchor. we drifted to where they were facing our broadside and lit them up with cannon fire. ive never seen a ship get sunk that fast. felt like i was in a movie lol.
Mega/athenas keg will sink a brig or sloop almost instantly too, and unless someone is in the mast they will all die and be unable to bucket
As a noob in this game i need to say that i am really learning from your channel haha. Thx for the great content. *sub*
I'm always amazed to see so many other ships, be it players or skeletons, in the video of content creators. I feel like I only meet one every few hours, and then it's usually "kill on sight" :/
love the content
Congrats on 25k just two days ago you were 24.9 you almost made 1k in two days!
this guys going places
Great content
I’m only halfway through the video so I’m not sure if he mentions this but guys, if you’re in a sloop and a brig or galleon are chasing you, have your sails pointing straight ahead and sail directly into the wind. Those ships won’t be able to catch up to you
I once got in a super tough tussle with some petty reaper childeren. We where on a galleon and they where on a brigantine. We shared conflict back and forth and we made some pretty good advancements but they got our sail. So us realizeing that we where near the red sea, (and all we had on board was a captains chest we found in the water) set sail into the deep red hoping that we'd bolth sink and we get a mini win with them loosing their lvl3 emissary. After we died to the barrier they spent an ungodly amount of time off the map until they eventually just died and quit.
Sometimes this works. You can throw gunpowder kegs over board and if your chasers keep chasing you in a straight line then they can run into the kegs causing them to explode. This rarely works but you can put a couple of kegs in a rowboat and row to the enemy ship and blow up the kegs once to reach the hull.
Dude you should make a discord server for your community! You have great quality content and it would be easier for you to get in touch with your fans and get some new content ideas :DD
I thought I would never need this guide as I've been running into the coolest people.
Until i started doing tall tales. Told someone I was just trying to do the tall tales and they went away. Only to reunite with them camping the uncharted island.
Underrated channel
one time i got in a 4 ship fight with me on a 2 man sloop, a skeleton sloop, a brig and a galleon. it was at night too, one of the coolest things ive done on sot
Could you also make a video on how to stop runners? Cause that's the issue I - as a reaper - have day in and day out.
thx bro!
This will be really helpfull
:D
This is quite late, but I used to hate storms until I realized others do too. I mostly am solo and whenever I get chased and there is a storm around I usually head straight through it and They either bail as they see what I am doing or get lost in the storm.
My first experience with SoT was solo. And I ended up sinking a skeleton and a player ship. Pretty shure they let me sink them tho. Still an amazing first experience. I fell in love with the game then and there
The wholesome side of Sea of Thieves
Nice Channel... Great vid... i´ll stay here for a while... solo slooping at it´s best...
That's the best blunderbomb I've ever seen.
if this dude posted daily it would break the world i swear
6:45
Peeeta.
The reapers are here.
Ah yes the oldest and noblest of pirate traditions. Fighting to run away!
I was looking for this comment :P
Captain Chicken @6:22! Wasnt that the guy you grieved in another video?
This is so underrated
The Calcium variety...I'm cryin!
When running from players while we do anchor the chasers, me and my friend tend to actually turn their ship the other way after killing them all, so that they sail away from us and we take some of their supplies and set their ship on fire. It's worked a few times where they keep going the other way and I'm wondering if they haven't realized they have turned away or if they have just given up.
“Even if one of them was of the calcium variety” was the funniest thing I’ve heard all day
your content is better than people with triple your subs
I'm in also just subscribed 👍
I like how people chase you when they know you have nothing for hours, it’s so funny.
If you have nothing, then why are you running?
^ I've always wondered too, if you sink us, you get loot, if you get sunk, you'll save yourself half an hour of running away for nothing lol
@@azaabazha660 yeah the worst thing in the game is the ship going down. That is the stamp of defeat
@@simclouthier9302 because it a inconvenience if you run they give up on the chase after like two mins
"The storm was chasing me" hoh boy did i feel that statement.
Been playing for a few months now, and only now learned that you can see how many emissaries are sailing by looking at the respective tables. The more you know
I tend to enjoy the PvE aspects of the game more than PvP, so I'll only engage in combat when necessary, plus I tend to be either solo slooping or playing with my gf. A nice trick I've picked up on is to sail behind a rock or island that's large enough to completely hide you ship and before going out of view make it look like you're going to come around past it from the other side to lure them into going over to the other side, and then once out of view change direction to go away. Depending on how large the island/rock is and how big of a lead on them you already have, you can get a really big lead
If they start to catch on to you doing that another good way to get a bigger lead is to go behind said rock and just go out strait instead of turning 1 way or the other, they will react trying to get the upper hand but it will just slow them down
Banger vid have a like
Earlier today, I was getting chased by some brigantine (im a returning player but still somewhat new). I had never seen the kraken except in the tutorial because I do a lot of missions, but while I was getting chased, the kraken came up and started attacking the other ship. By the end of it they were still on my tail, and quite literally not even a minute later, Megalodon. Strangest shit of my life
What I usually do is get the shroud breaker first then go do my emissary stuff. The odds of a reaper or any player ship for that matter to have a shroud breaker on thier ship is extremely low. So if I'm being chased I sail straight into the shores of gold and laugh as they turn away. Or if they're super dumb they'll keep following me and at a certain point the game sinks thier ship and teleport them to a new ship for going out of bounds.
Experienced reapers will have the checkpoint on hand to chase people who do that, so if one does follow you, you pretty much know you're screwed anyway.
Here's my personal tips when I run with loot cause I don't wanna lose it all lol if your sloop always go against wind the gally and brig r so fast with wind passing by forts and barrel piles for keg plays boarding with a keg and killing all on ladder will usually sink them also using cannons at forts last option is just turn and fight sometimes u win sometimes u don't
Someone introduce this man to grammar please.

amazing
Thanks for the Video! Add another subscriber
earlier today i was being chased by a gold emi while stacking. i was running away for ages and he kept catching me. then he got krakened. i got stuck in ink aswell but he had to fight. he beat the kraken, then sunk. this left me with all the loot
Yesterday a brigantine decided to chase my empty sloop for half the map. To send them away I had to equip the shroud breaker and enter the shores of gold. They followed me till the last second even in the middle of the red sea.
good content, while the title may help a lot of people click it could also make less people satisfied with your content. Try to avoid clickbait titles, as it annoys the audience. However, I'm not looking for a tutorial, so this is much better than I expected! Cheers!
Me and a friend once got chased while we had around 100k in loot, and no skills in combat. So we did the only thing we could do. We went with the wind all the way to the edge of the map and sailed around the red sea JUST at the boarder where it instantly teleports you back. And while we knew how far we could go on the map. Our opponents did not, and also was scared to even go into the red sea. So they stayed out of it just chasing us from outside. And since we had the patience and resources to stay out there, we did. And stayed until they got distracted by a skeleton ship. Found our hole and snuck out and just bolted to the furthest away outpost from our attackers. We managed to sell, and it was just all around fun
