You only accept to shoot a Megalodon and/or Kraken 25 times total; you exercise not have to shoot 25 different Krakens and/or Megalodons. Run into how far yous are in the Commendation by going to the Pirate Log via the menu, choosing Reputation, Bilge Rats, then Buried Treasures. Who Needs a Bigger Boat? is located 2d from the left in the bottom row of the starting time page. Hither'southward how you can complete it.

Finding a Cannon Rowboat and Spawning a Meg

Y'all demand to detect a Cannon Rowboat before you tin can use information technology against a Kraken or Megalodon. Cannon Rowboats spawn randomly on islands (minus Outposts and Seaposts) across the Sea of Thieves. Just sail around and check each island until you detect ane, or steal one from another crew. After you detect 1, dock it onto the back of your ship facing either management. You tin can do so by rowing to the dorsum of your ship and pressing the Dock Rowboat prompt when information technology appears.

Once you lot've found a Cannon Rowboat, stocked its chest with Cannonballs, and loaded up on food and Wooden Planks, it's fourth dimension to look for a Megalodon or Kraken. Unfortunately, both are random spawns that you can encounter while sailing across the sea. Nosotros recommend looking for a Megalodon, as there are five unlike kinds, they are easier to shoot with the Cannon Rowboat, and they spawn more than ofttimes. So, canvass around the map while avoiding hazards and staying away from island Title Cards, and wait for the ominous music that signals a Megalodon to play.

Shooting the Megalodon

This part is easier if y'all take at least one other player helping you. When the ominous music begins to play and you see the Meg, lift all of the sails so that y'all come to a finish, but keep the anchor upwards. Now, get on the Cannon Rowboat (keeping it docked) and shoot the Meg when it comes in range. Have your friend constantly turn the send to give yous a shot and patch holes if it attacks. If you lot're playing past yourself, you'll take to multitask. We practise not recommend you undock the Cannon Rowboat, as this will make it more than hard, and y'all're likely to agro the Meg.

You should kill at to the lowest degree one Meg before you can terminate the Commendation, every bit its health/difficulty obviously scales to the size of the ship yous're on. If you lot're on a Galleon, you lot may exist able to hitting it 25 times before it dies, assuming you're the only one shooting. Regardless, go on searching for Megs and shooting them with the Cannon Rowboat until you unlock the Who Needs a Bigger Boat? Commendation. The strategy for shooting the Kraken is the aforementioned, though you're less probable to encounter one.
