The term despawn is typically used for when an npc or item actually is removed from the game. I think he means de-aggro for most of this. The meg will swim back to its spawn point if you get too close to an island, and THEN it will despawn

Maaan the Shrouded Deep was such a good event! I really hope they turn it into a voyage in the future (and that it works exactly the same, but make it drop like a bunch of gems!!) if they ever expand on the Hunters Call.

i got shrouded by doing fort of the damned. I saw a nearby sloop get it and i went over and teamed up against it.

The most tried and true means of killing the megladon is the trident. It has scaled damage against PvE enemies and can fire omnidirectionally unlike the cannon. To track the Meg easily, hop in the water with the trident. Quick, easy kill if you keep a few on your boat. Same for ashen winds. 4 tridents, done in 5min.

Love your vids

Back when I first started playing Sea of Thieves (like a month after getting the game) I was just casually sailing and a megaladon spawned in and it was white. I thought it looked cool so I decided to kill it and then I got the title for killing the Shrouded Ghost so I started to use it because the creature it came from looked spectacular. Then a year later someone I was playing with asked me about how I found the Shrouded Ghost and informed me on how rare it actually was. I'm just glad I actually decided to kill it because I had no idea how rare it was at the time.

In my experience they tend to spawn at a higher rate in the open sea area on the south side of the map where there are no islands. I don't know if that is intentional or not.

small tip , the shrouded ghost has a custom theme so if u hear a strange new very epic and up beat theme out of nowhere just know that it means the shrouded is near and u should drop everything you are doing that second

Bro, I just played sea of thieves for the first time in like a year with some friends, they we’re getting off but we found a shipwreck that had a reaper chest inside of it. As they left I tried learning how to sail to ship by myself for the first time and was actually doing good. I started sailing to a place to sell the treasure I found on the shipwreck when a megalodon spawned near me. I was so scared and tried to ignore it but it swam up to my ship and took a bit as I tried to shoot it with my shotgun. As I did it knocked me off my boat going full speed and I couldn’t get the ferryman in time before my ship started to sink with my reaper chest inside of it. I was so upset, I was doing so good manning the ship by myself until that thing showed up.

Get this man to 10K

i saw the ghost thing i didnt know how rare it was at the time it was awsome it.... sunk me but i still enjoyed it

When they were first introduced, the music that played was similar to what you hear when you turn in fish to HC.

Love the megs..in a fearful way. Wish the yellow-green were more yellow, and then to add a red, orange and actual green regarding main body color megs in later updates. The orange could fit in around volcanos f.ex! Plenty titles to add too. Also wish they were more of a threat, more animations for attacks, movement and a rare chance they will hunt you outside their territory for stranded pirates in the open ocean, guess thats the ordinary sharks snack job. Though a meg swallowing pirates whole would be a shocker😂

I am pretty new to the game and I have only encountered an ancient terror and it was pretty fun to fight with my friend.

Here’s a better idea beside looking for him Stop your ship , go fish and he will (maybe )spawn like regular it happen to me So I guess that’s the same for the kraken (of course if there is no world event like fort or tornado)

Do sharks naturally spawn in the water if your swimming for too long?

once he played that music, my heart rate spiked ( 3:28 )

Apparently, you can force spawn a megalodon by doing shores of gold and leaving to the west. I think I saw it ina KZread video, but I'm not sure.

The Megalodons spawn alot more in Safer Seas at this point that they are literally my pets if i don't shoot them lol. They are pretty neutral in Safer Seas. The game spawned like 10 Megalodons in my 6 hours session, each one is a different variation (haven't encountered Shrouded Ghost though, that one is still pretty rare). But yeah, they just appears out of nowhere and circling around my ship, following me until i reach an island, having them around is kinda fun that way lol.

bro i saw it 3 days ago but didnt know at the time :( :O

for defeating a meg, there are a few things that you should keep in mind: 1. to stop a megs attack, it is not counting canonballs, but rather looks at the dmg dealt to the meg, meaning you can for example stop a meg on the slupe with 1 canonball + other things that deal equal dmg to a canonball. this seems insignificant, but it for example makes tridents extremely usefull on a slupe, as you can charge up the shot before the megs attack and then follow up with an immediate canonball to even on short ranges where you couldnt reload fast enough instantly stop the attack. also on the slupe and the brig, the remaining player that wouldnt have access to the canons can somewhat account for missed canonballs with a trident. 2. in a fight with a meg it is very helpful to drop your anchor, as its otherwise quite common to accidentially leave the megs area wich also despawns it (not only if you get close to an island) and if you just raise sails, the meg might just push you out of his area if he manages to actually hit you with an attack, as it adds quite the momentum to the ship. also it helps with a rather wierd proberty of the ai. the meg will always try to attack the flanks of the ship, but it will usually try to calculate when to strike based on the megs position and the current movement of the ship. by being anchored you basically reduce your momentum to almost 0 (even when anchored your ship has a little space to move slightly into all directions and it still can slightly tillt left and right) this reduces the megs ai`s potential for errors in the calculation, wich reduces the chance that the meg will attack you from an angle where you cannot fire canons at it. 3. now this one is probably the least well known thing about them in my opinion. the meg has an ai that dictates it when to attack, and whle there still is a bit of rng in there, by studying the megs pattern you can get really close to 100% prediction of when the meg attacks based on where he surfices after he dives when he is done with an attack, based on the speed with wich he is moveingaswell as the direction in wich he moves, based on the side he last attacked on, and based on if his last attack went through or got blocked. this is the hardes one to apply in game, but if you keep this on mind and make a few mental notes anyone with a level head shoukld be able to get a good feel for when the next attack comes and from where, wich makes it easier to block attacks, as you can hold on to your canonball and your trident charges right before he attacks

I just want to say that the trident is the absolute best way to fight the megs and the kraken.

I have 3 of the 5 legendary commendations and I'm 27/50 for the Ancient Terror and still haven't gotten a Shrouded Ghost to spawn

There is another way. Whenever I have done a lost cargo voyage for the merchants and the ships log includes a meg attack, there is almost always a meg waiting at the next point of the quest.

Hey question, is that every a chance for a DOUBLE ghost ship to spawn during a Meg fight

I will never forget playing the hungering one event in a galleon and having a sloop do supply runs back and forth. Took us like 3 hours to kill the damn thing

Wow. I saw the shrouded ghost today and I didn’t fight it bc I never fight megladon. They’re just kinda annoying so I always sail away. I didn’t even know the white megladon was rare.

I heard that having loot aboard increases the spawn chance of the Megalodon by a small percentage.

I have seen a ghost shark i just started the game and I was having fun with my friend and we didn’t know it was that rare at the time

I remember being sunk by the shrouded ghost on my second day of playing sot 3 years later and I never got a second chance 😢

I've defeated many Megalodons by just being anchored in place for 1) I know which of the two sides the Megalodon is going to attack and 2) seeing I know which sides its going to attack I can hit it to stop it from dealing damage to the shi and 3) even if I miss the hits Im not shoved away from its zone of activity so I don't have to do re-adjustments based on where its circling.

I'll probably never see one again

i remember my buddies and i playing roughly when this game came out.. ship full of loot headed to sell it, and a Meg spawned.. we kept going to the island, maybe 50 feet out and it was still chasing us. I figured it was bugged, so i told my friends not to shoot it, and they didnt listen.. Ended up crashing our games and losing all our loot

I got a bunch of loot and got my first encounter with a megalodon then my friend on the call asked me what color it was i said purple he told me to just get out of there i had been playin the game for about 2 weeks i was scared definitely a cool addition to the game

I found a shrouded with my friend but didn't realize it was rare until the next day

I fought my first Meg a while back, and it took one shot to the mouth. And it went back to circling. But I am also forgetful sooooo… lol

is there a meg that's all white but no pink? Because i have a screenshot of a white meg but it has no pink on the fin?

I am confused. Shall I keep miving to meet a meg or should I stay idle in the middle of the open ocean?

Megalodons also have a higher chance of spawning if there are no world events currently active on the map.

I've been playing Sea of Thieves since it's release. In all of my time, i've seen 2 shrouded ghosts, not knowing that they were special in any kind of way until about 2020 when a crew came up to me as they saw it despawn and shout at me for losing it.

found this after i downloaded sea of thieves for ps5 with no clue as to what the game was about and ran into a meg maybe ten minutes after the maiden voyage. Ended up being the only one in my group with the Hunter of the Hungering One title 😭
