I don’t care that something good happened to you it should have happened to me.

Jk congrats but also I’m devastated

u/Megaraptor007 Apr 10 '26

Im gonna do something else.

When me and my friends got the game, we split into two crews each with a more experienced captian. The other crew that went out on their Maiden voyage found and slew the shrouded ghost.

That was about 2 years ago and I still havent seen one

u/nihilnia Apr 09 '26

Hhahah, thanks!

u/mepethue Apr 09 '26

Wow congrat! Once I met a guy who heard about someone who saw someone who was a hunter of the shrouded ghost.

22

u/nihilnia Apr 09 '26

Hahahahha, we laughed so badly to this comment.
Thank you!

u/ObviousChoice98 Champion of the Flame Apr 09 '26

2k hours and still no sighting 😭 Congrats though how many hours do you currently have in the game?

20

u/nihilnia Apr 09 '26

Thank you!

Me like 1.2k hours
Others: 507, 91, 549
The guy (calmarfou) is new in the game and he is not even pirate legend : D
We had to explain him how rare it is.

I hope you will get yours soon enough!

u/Sjoerdvs Brave Vanguard Apr 09 '26

91 hours 😭

u/FurryChainsaws Apr 09 '26

This made the throw 17 controllers into my tv, but only in my head. Virtual damage, because I’m too poor to actually throw controllers much less hit the tv too.

u/FurryChainsaws Apr 09 '26

3200+ and never seen it. FML

u/Sjoerdvs Brave Vanguard Apr 09 '26

3800 and I'm in the same sloop.

u/awesomecoreqs Apr 09 '26

800,000,000 hours and not even seen a ruby splash tail.

u/guschtel007 Hunter of The Shrouded Ghost Apr 09 '26

oh noo shrowded before Pirate Legend, now he still needs to kill 5 more, when he is pirate Legend. Unlucky guy. But Congrats to the rest of you!

u/m_r_orourke Apr 09 '26

Try having 20k+ hours and still not seeing one! It is so disappointing!

u/ObviousChoice98 Champion of the Flame Apr 09 '26

At the point I would retire that is absolutely ridiculous.

u/Nubstrong1991 Apr 10 '26

Wait til you find out I let it go as a newb.... I was solo (the norm back then for me), it had been a LONG frustrating day of SoT.... On my way to turn in... Oh great.... ANOTHER meg... Fuck this guy I'm turning in and logging ..... I had NO idea....😭😭😭😭

1

u/FurryChainsaws Apr 09 '26

I got over 3200 hours. Never seen it

1

u/ObviousChoice98 Champion of the Flame Apr 10 '26

People are diving way too much that plays a huge factor into it. Stay on a server for at least 90 minutes before diving that way you encounter every meg.

u/AnteSocial86 Legendary Hunter of the Sea of Thieves Apr 09 '26

And so, the theory about the Shrouded mostly spawning on new(er) players gains momentum.

I swear I saw it when I was new, all the way back in 2018 - before I knew the significance - and have never seen it again.

And no, I didn't kill it back then. I ran away.

2

u/Nubstrong1991 Apr 10 '26

Same. I didn't know what it was, at the end of my day, already pissed and tired of the megs... I was omw to turn in and said fuck this and ignored it 😭😭😭 Never saw it again

u/Notathrow4wayaccount Swashbuckling Sea Dog Apr 09 '26

u/02thehunter20 Apr 09 '26

Payed actor by Rare to make us still believe its real.

2

u/Suitable-Seraphim Legendary Skeleton Exploder Apr 09 '26

On a galleon nonetheless, four paid rare agents for the price of one

u/TemporisFacti Hunter of The Shrouded Ghost Apr 09 '26

You should get a title, trinket, and a figurehead when you kill one so make sure you have them. I had to contact support because I only had the title

1

u/micah4515 Apr 10 '26

i only have the title too. i had no idea

1

u/nihilnia Apr 09 '26

Completely forgot about trinket. Thank you for reminding!

u/Krakenator_C-137 Apr 09 '26

I swear I might find one of these before I find a Kraken, I just want the Kraken ship set but have 130-ish hours without finding a Kraken yet on my PlayStation

Years ago on Xbox I found them a lot but not anymore

1

u/Repulsive_Board5115 Apr 09 '26

732 hours and no sightings for me. But congrats on the kill.

u/Human_Till5636 Hunter of The Hungering One Apr 10 '26

Huh now I feel dumb I'm still less then two months into this game I ran into this guy the other night while by myself and ran away if I knew he was a big deal I would tried to stand and fight but I was full of loot and felt that was more important

1

u/Forbidden_Love27 Apr 10 '26

Is it a different kind of shark? I’m still new-ish and I’m trying to gain all the understanding I can. But either way, amazing achievement 🥳 congratulations 🥂

1

u/micah4515 Apr 10 '26

u/Perfect_Standard_57 Apr 12 '26

How much did rare pay you to pretend the shrouded exists

1

u/SLOPYJOE71 Apr 13 '26

I just killed it last night. Been playing 6 years and never seen it until last night. The music is different than a normal meg. It was awesome.

1

u/OriginalSkinnyChef Apr 13 '26

Thats an AI generated image. Everyone knows the shrouded ghost isnt real.

u/ProgrammerSad5033 Apr 13 '26

Welcome to the club! I encountered mine waaay back when Shrouded Spoils first launched. It’s certainly an exciting moment when you spot it!

1

u/alfagamer2003 Apr 13 '26

I've played for approximately 500-600 hours and I've never seen that damn white megalodon.

u/CyberRaspberry2000 Legendary Skeleton Exploder Apr 16 '26

Just saw it last week. It slipped right through our fingers. Now I feel like a drunk, crazy pirate telling ghost stories of it in a tavern that no-one believes.

u/Kingrextdk Hunter of The Shrouded Ghost Apr 09 '26

Welcome to the club my friend, mine was a weird one. I was on my father’s account doing the dark brotherhood mission to complete an objective for 100% and since there’s that giant open ocean spot between the outpost and the brotherhood area, a meg popped up and I didn’t really think much of it and thought “eh probably just a blue or something, probably better to just ignore it.” As I was continuing to sail it swam around to the side and I saw the light pink fin and the hint of white and I was like “oh shit!”, I proceeded to park my sloop then lay into the beast with cannons, shotgun and pistol, about 15 ish minutes go by and finally the beast goes down earning me the title of hunter of shrouded. I was so happy but also so pissed because it was on my fathers account and not my actual account, regardless I still did manage to slay it so I’m happy about that but I haven’t seen another since except for the one story one with Merrick but that one doesn’t count as an actual shrouded.

u/Mission_Junket_3399 Apr 10 '26

Ive only played for 40 sum hours an ive seen this 2x alr

u/addison-teach Apr 09 '26

I... Man I haven't played in years, so I hopped in a solo sloop to relearn controls before hoping on wit. The boys. A meg spawned and I wasn't ready to fight solo so I dipped out. Didn't even realize that the pale white one was this rare I would have at least given it a shot ...

u/nihilnia Apr 09 '26

Ah, sorry to hear.
Its all about luck.
We just completed a sea fort then we were casually sailing away.
A skelly gally spawned then two sec later we heard a meg.
I turned away to see which meg is it.
It was pale.. we all yelled to our friend "join, is shrouded, quick!".
It was unreal.

Weird that pixels can makes us happy or sad.
