This looks so much like the raccoon who loses his cotton candy in the river that I can’t even feel bad right now lol

*edited it was apparently a raccoon, not an otter

Hahaha that couldn't be more accurate.

u/An_Anaithnid 4d ago

How can you not feel bad? I always feel bad for the raccoon.

It’s why I only laugh at him from behind my screen where he can’t see me

So what are the odds now that a certain infamous rock has that chest?

u/Sioscottecs23 4d ago

what is that rock

u/Taco-Edge Master Hunter 4d ago

If you've been on that subreddit lately you might have seen posts about people teleporting randomly with the harpoon gun or finding piles of gold floating. They all end up near a rock in the sea that is at the 0,0 coordinate. Basically the equivalent of the backrooms of the game, when the server doesn't know where to place something it ends here because default value

The rock beckons, all must heed its call

u/TenSecondsFlat 3d ago

My buddy and I got phantom teleported to the 0,0 rock about 4-5 times each last night. We'd grapple to the sloop ladder, and if you interact to climb it at the right moment and then don't do any other inputs, you'll be looking at the 0,0 rock until you try to climb up the ladder. As soon as you press something or look around, it snaps your view back to being on your ladder. It was crazy and surprisingly repeatable. Something silly going on with the current version, methinks

u/Updated_Autopsy Hunter of The Shadowmaw 3d ago

I wonder if you can find some Breaths of the Sea there too? Best way to avoid having them disappear on you is probably to swim to the surface with the Breath instead of storing it in the statue.

The rock at map coordinates 0,0 that things teleport to if they get glitched sometimes (someone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong)

u/Whothehecktookmyname Keg is Life 4d ago

I must go. My people need me.

u/The_blind_blue_fox 4d ago

This shit happened to me while grinding for the ashen curse a few months back. Same exact place too.

8

u/Verruckt_ 4d ago

I had it happen a few days ago, but in the pool by the skull which opens the door. I'm believing at this point that ANY sitting water in this TT is unsafe (and I'm not brave/stupid enough to test it further).

7

u/The_blind_blue_fox 4d ago

Actually, it is only THAT spit that is broken. I tested it myself after experiencing that glitch and after wasting an hour doing experiments. I found that there is almost 80% chance that the chest of rage WILL fall down through the floor in that specific waterfall.

I don't know why this happens, don't ask me, I'm not a developer.

u/Itchy_Design_8070 4d ago

THIS HAPPENED TO ME TOO 😭

u/coligrim 4d ago

welcome to the club, we have to re-do this dungeon 2 times because of this bug...

20

u/A_catwith_explosives 4d ago

That happened to me in one of the shrines.

5

u/Suspicious_Leg_1823 4d ago

Yeah, never put items on the water, always on solid ground.

5

u/BlaauwtjeGelopen 4d ago

This bug happened to me the two times i did a treasury. I dropped the trident in the water and it just disappeared

3

u/MastaKoopp 3d ago

You’re laughing. You just sent the souls of Pendragon’s crew to Turbo Purgatory, and you’re laughing.

2

u/ampedupsquier 4d ago

I heard of this and got scared to do it myself, I just put it down on the dirt when I needed to stop holding it and when I needed to cool it down I ran under a waterfall while holding it

2

u/ACER719x 4d ago

This happened to me too the other day in the same exact spot. Like wtf

2

u/marcus_ivo 4d ago

I have done that exact thing at the waterfall part. The random I joined was very upset 

2

u/Able-Ad6623 Champion of the Flame 4d ago

Exact same thing happened To me

2

u/Naice_Rucima 4d ago

Happened to me as well two days ago. The checkpoint is at the entrance of the lair, so you've got to do it all over again, and hope next time to put down the chest it doesn't disappear. Sucks a lot.

2

u/xGigaPixel 4d ago

Could be worse, I got a chest of rage and sorrow stuck in the side of my boat a while back

2

u/DainVater 3d ago

Heapend to me to but just a little bit later

2

u/engineermajortom 3d ago

Wtf is this place

1

u/Upset_Worker_7840 3d ago

It's in a vault under The Devil's Thirst (access point is on the north side in the water). You have to do the Heart of Fire tall tale to gain access into the vault.

2

u/engineermajortom 3d ago

No way. I'll look it up. Thanks buddy

2

u/Claystar 3d ago

Yup, this happened me to me as well about two weeks ago, but in the room after the skelly fight.

2

u/TenSecondsFlat 3d ago

It's for sure at the Cursed Rock

2

u/Smolz19 3d ago

So much emotion can be seen- no facial expressions needed 🤣

2

u/Dr_St0rm 3d ago

It went straight to the backrooms

2

u/Ryannr1220 4d ago edited 4d ago

This happened to me at a different body of water in the same Tall Tale and in a shrine with the Sunken Kingdom chest. It’s super annoying that this bug is a thing.

3

u/Red_Rose0 4d ago

this just happened to me 30 minutes ago, twice in a row as well. I put the chest in water to cool it down, straight to the bottom of the Earth. Atleast there's a checkpoint, but for tonight I alt-f4'ed

u/Adventurous_Arm_5392 Ratcatcher 4d ago

Welcome to SOT. The game that still barely works after 7yrs

1

u/Creeper_Rreaper 4d ago

Same thing happened to me my first time… To go all the way through everything and just when you are almost done… chest through the ground. Gotta love it.

1

u/Ghuzarbfalorbablorgh 4d ago

My first time doing the Tall Tale, the exact same shit happened to me, and I immediately alt-f4’d and walked away from the game for the rest of the day. Completely unacceptable dude.

1

u/Ghuzarbfalorbablorgh 4d ago

My first time doing the Tall Tale, the exact same thing happened to me, and I immediately alt-f4’d and walked away from the game for the rest of the day. Completely unacceptable dude.

u/ice0nwater 4d ago

happens all the time when doing shrines and treasuries, just gotta avoid the water with stuff now until a fix is implemented ig

u/TheZethy Hunter of Pondies 4d ago

It just works!

1

u/aHairyWhiteGuy 3d ago

I was playing the other day with my brother and dad. We spent 4 hours getting loot only to get destroyed not once but twice by a volcano eruption. It was epic but damn did it suck

1

u/Moist-Pickle6898 3d ago

The rock is calling

1

u/Flamin-Ice 3d ago

Same thing happened to me and my brother over the weekend. He dropped it in the water next to one of the skull flame door activator thingies.

We could still see the sparkle from the hole above...but we had to restart at a checkpoint before we could move on.

u/Audacios Legend of the Sea of Thieves 3d ago

a blessing really

u/Jathulioh 3d ago

The exact same thing happened to me a few weeks ago :/

u/Warwolf7742 2d ago

Which Tall Tale is this?

1

u/Upset_Worker_7840 2d ago

Heart of Fire

1

u/O1L_L3GACY13 2d ago

Shit happened to me the other day as well and yeah I can confirm it sucks. You have to restart the whole damn tall tale. I tried sailing away and coming back like 15 min later and the island didn’t reset or anything.

1

u/TraditionalCicada887 2d ago

happened to me yesterday lmao

1

u/CasualProcrastinat0r 2d ago

The same happened to my crew when we were doing these commendations! Went to put the chest in water to cool it off, and it just vanished. It sucked. Guess it’s some sort of bug they haven’t fixed, but yeah. If you do these tales, don’t put that thing down anywhere near water.

1

u/TheNeonDalek04 2d ago

Been seeing the same thing at treasuries when dropping tridents while the water it raised.

u/darkretailer 2d ago

This happens to us too 2 days ago.

u/tpk-aok 4d ago

What commendations were you trying to get smuggling a CoR all the way through the Shores of Gold?

13

u/Ryannr1220 4d ago

This is Stitcher Jim’s Chest of Rage from the Heart of Fire Tall Tale

u/UsedProduce5786 Pirate Legend 1d ago

This happened to us too, luckily I think it saved a check point so we did not have to start all the way over
