So, you think being a ship’s captain is easy? Think once more. Dead Sails, the new top game, shows that sailing is far from easy. You must keep your ship up, handle supplies, fight off scary beasts, and aim to reach the 100,000-meter spot. There’s always something going on. If you want to make it and do well on the big ocean, this guide will help you find the right way.
Dead Sails Codes
Before reading our guide you should know about codes for Dead Sails that give free Dabloons. You can find them on pocketcodes.net on a special page or check out the game’s official Discord, Dead Sails Twitter or the official Awesome Melon Games group.
Getting Started in Dead Sails
New to Dead Sails? No stress—the game is easy to learn, but hard to be great at. What’s your key aim? Keep going on. Your ship has to go in a straight path for 10,000 meters each round, halting at towns, until you hit 100,000 meters. How to win? It’s easy: always have fuel, and more key, don’t lose your life.
Before You Set Sail
Before you begin your game, you’ll be in the lobby with 15 Dabloons, the money used in the game. Even if you want to buy guns and bandages, wait a bit. You can find them while you play. Instead, put your mind on what counts most: a class upgrade.
Choosing the Right Class
For only 3 coins each roll, you can get a type with cool perks. This game has a lot of types, from a Common Pirate to an Uncommon Gunslinger. Pick smart—your type will guide how you play.
Making the Most of Town Stops
Towns serve as crucial checkpoints every 10,000 meters, offering resources and safety. Here’s what you’ll find in each town:
- General Store – Stock up on essentials.
- Trading Hut – Sell items you’ve collected.
- Gun Shop – Purchase weapons and ammunition.
- Sheriff’s Office – Exchange loot, such as pirate corpses, for bounties.
- Hospital – Heal any injuries.
The best investment? Coal. This is the lifeblood of your ship, and without it, your journey ends. Spend as much as you can on fuel—without it, you’re dead in the water.
Pro Tips for Survival
Never Run Out of Fuel
While coal is the main fuel source, there are other creative ways to keep your ship running. You’ll come across various items during your journey that can give you a little fuel boost, but the top choice? Undead corpses. If you’re going to be fighting for your survival, you might as well take advantage of the situation—stash those bodies in your inventory and use them as fuel!
Surviving the Night
The ending of day adds to the thrill, but increases the risk. It is always safe to sleep in the pub, that is the town. But if on Earth, then use bard-wire on your ship and keep off the planks. If not, be prepared to fight back, nobody knows what are you going to face.
Choosing the Right Weapon
Your first tool, be it a hammer or a pickaxe, is good for the start, but when the foes get tough, you’ll want to get better. A shotgun is one of the best choices due to its high hit power, making it perfect for sudden fights. Also, if money is tight, a revolver is a solid first gun and it’s easy to find.
Best Items to Collect
Your inventory is limited to 10 items, so choose wisely. Some of the best finds include:
- Gold, Silver, and Diamond Bars – Sell for high value.
- Healing Packs – Useful for emergencies.
- Crosses – Can be sold or used against undead enemies.
- Robot Head – Found in banks and houses, sells for 45 cash.
- Gold Llama – The rarest item, worth 150 cash.
If you want to keep items secure, be sure to weld them to your ship—otherwise, they might fall off during rough waters!
