I'm speechless, thank you so much for the win!! Congrats to all the other winners, I wonder if I can get that lava pudding recipe...

Plenty of pirates put themselves in peril to capture the balmy beauty of The Devil's Roar for the latest #SoTShot contest, but which snaps caught our crew's eye? First four nods go to Bluesky's @lokisot.bsky.social, @niptzy.bsky.social, @mrzotz9659.bsky.social and @beththebeek.bsky.social.

Cheers to the New Year!!
May 2026 bring more love and kindness to our world and may the Seas be Friendlier to us all!

I wonder who got the honours of eating it? 🤔

Awwww a cozy blanket, perfect for this time of year

I didn't know you did crochet! What'cha working on? 🤩

Cursed treasure is a risk all pirates take. But this particular item has caused this pirate to not become a skeleton after it's effects finally took it's toll, but something much more...ghoulish

I've been seeing it more and more in my feeds and it's really got me worried about if (but let's be real it's more like when) what watermark can be removed

Up until this point I've been pretty good with telling what's AI but there's times recently I wouldn't of without that mark 😨

47 Smuggler's Kegs, 1 regular keg we used as a detonator, and 1 keg cannon rowboat

TLDR: We did a lot of math, had a lot of kegs despawn, and blew ourselves up quite a lot. 😆

I still am not sure why the kegs were despawning, but we changed to timer to 50 minutes and with only a few hours of time left we picked up the pace and got up to 47 kegs, recounting when we loaded them into the rowboat.

That was finally enough to kill the Redmaw

halfway through attempt 10 when we should of had 72 kegs (moving those kegs out of and back into the crows nest every hour and a half to make absolutely certain we moved them all in time) we recounted and found we only had 29.

On a whim we counted them when we went to load them into the rowboat and found we only had 16 kegs. And we learned that the 2-hour island loot despawn timer applies to the crows nest.

We didn't discover the issue until attempt 9, our target had slowly been creeping higher and higher when on this try we had stacked 83 kegs. up to this point we had been adding the kegs to the tally when we put them on the boat/ in the crows nest.

Honestly, we thought it would be 1, maybe 2 sessions for a funny stunt. But in our initial attempts we were met with either blowing up in the process of stacking or the Redmaw not dying despite us having more than 35 kegs.

We then decided our target would be a Redmaw to avoid potential confusion with the Barnacled Dread's armor (we weren't sure how the separate health pools might affect our numbers)

As for the damage numbers we started by killing a skeleton lord with the kegs to get a rough idea of the damage per keg, and estimated it was between 325-350 damage per keg.
From past experiences we found it takes ~100 cannonballs to kill an ancient meg, so our target was between 30-35 kegs.

For anyone curious about the details/technical aspects:
We used 47 black powder barrels, 1 regular keg, and 1 keg from the rowboat. We chose a cannon rowboat because unlike other rowboats PvE such as megs will aggro onto it which allowed us to detonate the kegs when the meg charged for max damage

After over 50 hours of stacking kegs, @beththebeek.bsky.social and I we're finally able to one shot a Redmaw!
