About Forgotten Seas
Forgotten Seas drops you into the Bermuda Void, an endless ocean where islands appear and fade. Survival depends on building magical ships that can be stored in bottles and summoned at will.
Explore treacherous waters, craft docks, battle Dread Pirates, and piece together a torn ancient map that points to hidden treasure and a possible way back to the real world.
01 / THE GUIDE
Ship Crafting
Ships are described as magic essential to survival, ranging from tiny schooners to massive dreadnaughts. Every vessel can be placed into a bottle, letting you store it or unleash it suddenly during combat.
The bottle‑storage mechanic lets you keep a backup ship for emergencies or surprise enemies with a larger vessel after luring them with a smaller craft.
- Consider keeping a small ship ready for quick escapes.
- Use the bottle to protect a valuable ship when you anticipate heavy combat.
02 / THE GUIDE
Island Exploration
Landing on an island allows you to erect a dock using the robust crafting and building system, then venture inland for resources, treasure, and map fragments.
Islands can fade as quickly as they appear, so you must reach safety before the land disappears, creating a race against the environment.
- Build your dock as soon as you set foot on an island.
- Move inland promptly after docking to avoid being stranded.
03 / THE GUIDE
Dual‑Wield Combat
Combat on land and deck uses an intuitive dual‑wielding system, enabling fast‑paced battles where you can switch weapons quickly to respond to pirate attacks.
Naval clashes add a layer of challenge: you must watch speed, heading, and enemy positions to land effective broadsides and avoid missed attacks.
- Practice swapping weapons to keep pressure on foes.
- Balance aggressive attacks with careful ship maneuvering.
04 / THE GUIDE
Oceanic Anomalies
Storms, whirlpools, and strange sea beasts act as unpredictable hazards that can shred sails or swallow crews, forcing constant monitoring of speed and heading.
Surviving an anomaly often requires timing your ship’s deployment from its bottle to avoid being caught in a vortex or a beast’s maw.
- Watch weather cues for incoming storms.
- Maintain steady speed when navigating whirlpools.
05 / THE GUIDE
Multiplayer Co‑op
The game lists online co‑op, allowing friends to join your voyages and tackle pirate fleets together.
Cooperation complements the core mechanics of building, sailing, and combat rather than replacing them.
- Coordinate roles, such as one player scouting while another prepares a broadside.
- Communicate dock‑building plans to avoid duplicated effort.
