Sea of Thieves – Grogmanay start time

Grogmanay challenges and rewards
Each of the six Grogmanay challenges asks you to complete some sort of daring feat while, well, wasted. The challenges span several aspects of life at sea in Rare’s sandbox, and though some are quite simple, the added element of performing these tasks while drunk may make them a bit harder–funnier, too.
- A Staggering Success: Drink three tankards of grog, then dig up a chest while you’re still sick
- Dropping the Ball: Drink three tankards of grog, then hit an enemy ship with a cannonball while you’re still sick
- Drowned Sorrows: Drink three tankards of grog, then defeat Ocean Crawlers while you’re still sick
- Sick Burn: Drink three tankards of grog, then defeat skeletons using firebombs while you’re still sick
- Dinner and Drinks: Drink three tankards of grog, then capture a pig, chicken, and snake while you’re still sick
- Drink three tankards of grog, then defeat a shark while you’re still sick
If you’ve played Sea of Thieves, you know being drunk in the game can be very debilitating, making it hard to walk or see–not to mention all the projectile vomiting you’ll be doing. To make these easier, you can usually find yourself what you need and bring it to the brink of completion.
For example, locate a chest precisely, then have your drinks. It’ll be tough to walk to the spot, but it’ll still be easier than starting your search while you’re drunk. The same goes for things like fighting skellies, Ocean Crawlers, or sharks. It’ll be tricky to hit an enemy ship with a cannonball, but even if you struggle, you might be able to enter into a tentative, challenge-chasing truce with a rival crew–or not. You never can be sure on the Sea of Thieves, aye?
For all of your stumbling and vomiting, you’ll earn up to four new rewards. Here they are:
- Complete one Grogmanay challenge: Bilge Rat Celebration tattoo
- Complete two Grogmanay challenges: Bilge rat Celebration makeup
- Complete four Grogmanay challenges: Grogmanay Annual tankard
- Complete six Grogmanay challenges: Celebration Celebrity title
Sea of Thieves is available on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC. It’s also in Game Pass.
