Ship Tutorial — Complete Walkthrough
Every ship quest explained so you do not have to go back — gear, taming, crafting, and escape.
Why the ship matters
The tutorial ship is a one-time instance. After leaving, every skipped lesson becomes a real disadvantage.
Open Q immediately and keep the quest tracker visible. It tells you exactly what to do next.
Quests 1–5: Gear & NPCs
Quest 1: Get clothes from your bunk. Quest 2: Equip via U (equipment). Quest 3: Talk to Ciba the cook.
Quests 4–5: Gather healing ingredients and cat medicine — learn inventory (I) and gathering (E).
Complete each quest via Q → Complete before moving on.
Combat & arrest sequence
Fight tutorial enemies with LMB attacks. Practice blocking with RMB.
After the arrest sequence, follow escape objectives carefully — do not skip dialogue hints.
Taming seagulls & sharks
Three catchable companions are on the ship. Taming grants easy early XP.
Use N (emotes) when quests require it — e.g. wave to Ellie.
Craft Sailcloth Wings for the risky exit route as an alternative completion method.
Leaving the ship
Double-check journal milestones (J) and skill points (K) before departure.
Bring food, basic weapons, and know: there is no going back.
