The Sea of Thieves world events are special randomised events that appear at different points in servers, with at least one active at any one time. If you’ve seen giant clouds shaped like skulls or tornadoes on the horizons, those mark SoT’s various world events - special challenges for brave or bold players that can be triggered by whoever approaches them. If you survive, you’ll sail away with a hold full of treasure - but that’s a big if. Still, if you’re seeing strange portents on the horizon, here’s all the world events in Sea of Thieves, and what you can expect to find once you make it there.

At time of writing there are five world events in Sea of Thieves, some of which involve fighting enemies hand-to-hand, others of which focus more on ship combat. We’ve listed them all below, as well as what weather and cloud markers show them, and what you can expect once you sail there.
Keep in mind that no matter which of these you’re heading for, you’ll want to be ready for combat, either on the high seas or hand-to-hand, so make sure you have plenty of food provisions and throwables ready to go.

Joel Franey is a writer, journalist, podcaster and raconteur with a Masters from Sussex University, none of which has actually equipped him for anything in real life. As a result he chooses to spend most of his time playing video games, reading old books and ingesting chemically-risky levels of caffeine. He is a firm believer that the vast majority of games would be improved by adding a grappling hook, and if they already have one, they should probably add another just to be safe. You can find old work of his at USgamer, Gfinity, Eurogamer and more besides.
