In Sea of Thieves, there is a plethora of PVE enemies on both land and sea to defeat, with many new ones added since the game’s launch in 2018. That also excludes other players in this PVP and PVE open-world, pirate-adventure game. based game. While AI-controlled enemies tend to pop up at the most inopportune times and sometimes in the weirdest places, on the one hand this adds challenge and richness to the beautiful world that is Sea of Thieves.
Each enemy type offers players different levels of challenge, whether sailing solo or in a group, so it can often be crucial to prepare and strategize rather than going with firearms for those journeys to the Ferry of the Damned to minimize.
10 Ghostly Gangs
The difficulty of phantoms has gradually increased lately, which may be related to the increase in ghostly activity as Captain Flameheart’s threat grows in the ongoing central story.
It is essential to maintain health as powerful phantom attacks can reduce large amounts of health in one move. It’s also best to spread out, cover plenty of ground, and avoid getting caught in the middle. Isolating individual phantoms with blunderbuss shots or sword attacks in close encounters may be more effective. If you’re attacked by larger groups while cruising the seas solo, reign over cannon fire for easier removal, or let throwables do most of the work.
9 Shady Sharks

sharks inside Sea of Thieves should be rebranded as stealth masters as they always seem to know how to scare, especially when looking for sunken ships. It’s best to avoid them, they usually appear individually, but groups can appear the longer players swim.
Sharks’ usual attack pattern is to swim around players before they lunge, but they can also attack unconscious players from behind. Use short-range weapons like the blunderbuss or sword to strike first. Be sure to stock up on fruits, as they can do some serious damage in just a few hits. Sharks can also be shot off the ship to aid dive crew members.
8 Spooky scary skeletons

Skeletons in Sea of Thieves are some of the easiest and most common PVE enemies to encounter, such as when working for the Order of Souls, but it depends on the type and amount. The mermaid staff makes it easy to pick basic skeletons, but larger groups can overwhelm players, especially if skeletons with explosive barrels join the party. It’s best to snipe barrelers from a safe distance to take out the entire group and draw attention to Skeleton Captains.
Tough skeletons covered in barnacles and seaweed must be lured out of the water, as this will regenerate them. Players can also discover shadowy skeletons that cringe under lantern light, giving players an attack window. The strongest skeletons are the gold-encrusted ones that players can destroy more easily with throwables and cannon fire.
7 sneaky snakes
Snakes are a relatively docile PVE threat and are generally best left alone. However, it is critical for players to pay attention to their foundations as they can heavily populate certain areas and are easy to miss when running through the bushes. Snakes also don’t seem to like it when players linger and will spew venom, decreasing the player’s health and visibility for a limited time.
An easy way to get past many snakes is to play music next to them. This calms and prevents them from attacking. It is also an effective method of catching and selling snakes.
6 Crustacean Tanks – Crab Ocean Crawlers
These large, slow-moving, but ruthless enemies have appeared since the The life of a pirate add-on launched in Summer 2021 along with two more Ocean Crawlers. Players should watch their strides as they suddenly burst out of the ground with little warning.
It’s best not to get too close to these tanks, as their ground-pounding attack does significant damage. Shoot or use throwables to attack from a distance, but watch out for the coral shield protecting them and their buddies. If possible, they are best avoided altogether, but keep in mind that they will sometimes follow and haunt players to the strangest places, and ironically no tunnel is too small.
5 Cable And Clam Guys – Electric And Hermit Ocean Crawlers
Electric and Hermit Ocean Crawlers were also introduced with the The life of a pirate update and spawn frequently among other Ocean Crawlers. Electric shoot lightning bolts, use whip attack and shoot around with electric attacks. The mussel-like hermit mainly charges before burrowing back into the ground.
It takes a few gunshots or sword attacks to kill them with dodge and attack maneuvers. Sometimes they will fight other enemies, such as phantoms, for players to use by using the extra help. Like other enemies, hot springs in the Devil’s Roar can also take them out instantly.
4 Sinister Sirens
Siren activity has also increased over time, with the addition of underwater siren kingdoms. Sirens can attack player ships from the sea and appear close to shore while exploring islands.
On the ship or on land, they can be picked with the sniper rifle, but they can be quickly dodged. It’s best to keep moving and fire once in a while as they retaliate with a projectile bubble attack which can also burst holes in the ship. In the water, groups of sirens can be a challenge to defeat, so it’s best to use the blunderbuss to shoot from a distance and avoid powerful swipes at close range.
3 Treacherous Traps
Sometimes it’s not just enemies that players have to watch out for, but also where they step. Players can find treacherous trap mechanisms on Sailor’s Bounty Island and in the ‘Shores of Gold’ Tall Tale.
There are several types of traps, including spinning saws, swing axes, and thorn sticks. As always, traps are all about timing and quickly learning their patterns to get past them without numerous encounters with the ferryman. Players activate traps by stepping on the floor button mechanisms, but can be left undisturbed by simply jumping over them.
2 The mighty Meg and Kraken
The Kraken’s difficulty increases for those bigger ships sailing, but there are some universal PVE tips for surviving the Kraken’s attacks. When caught, players can use the sword to escape and get stuck while in the water, while replenishing their health if poisoned. Repair work is also critical, as the ship can fill up surprisingly quickly.
Players can choose whether to attack or escape from the 5 types of megalodon in Sea of Thieves but either way, it’s best to run below deck when the meg is charging to avoid being thrown off the ship. To escape, players can head inland or change direction until the meg music disappears.
1 Ashen Guardians, Key Masters & Lords
Ashen Guardians and Key Masters have a similar difficulty and attack strategy to Skeleton Captains, but are protectors of ashen chests or keys. Undoubtedly some of the most challenging enemies are the 4 Ashen Lord bosses which are hard to kill with their considerable longevity and powerful attacks.
If possible, it’s best to fight Ashen Lords in a team rather than solo, as it requires perseverance, and it’s important to keep well stocked, including finding the nearest ammo box or taking one with you . Using throwables and using cannons for extra firepower is also crucial to getting past any wave of attack.
Sea of Thievesis available to play on PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
