Skull and Bones: How to Defeat the Sea Monster and Farm Monstrous Tooth

In Skull and Bones, taking on the fearsome sea monsters is one of the most exhilarating ways to unlock some of the game's best gear. Among the rarest and most coveted materials is Monstrous Tooth, which is dropped by the mighty Kuharibu sea monster. This guide will walk you through everything you need to know about defeating this terrifying creature and farming Monstrous Tooth to get exclusive rewards.

What is Monstrous Tooth?

Monstrous Tooth is a special currency in Skull and Bones that can be used to purchase some of the game's most powerful blueprints and cosmetics, including the Ouroboros Hull Armor-one of the best hull armors in the game. However, this resource doesn't come easily. You'll need to take on some serious monster hunting to collect enough Monstrous Tooth to unlock these coveted Skull and Bones items.

Step 1: The "From the Deep" Contract

To start your journey to obtaining Monstrous Tooth, head to the Lanitra Outpost located in the Western Basin. Here, you will find the Sea People Huntmaster. Speak with them to pick up the "From the Deep" Contract. This contract will guide you to your next big challenge-taking down the monstrous Kuharibu.

Important Tip:

Once you've accepted the contract, follow the waypoint provided. This will lead you to the location where Kuharibu is wreaking havoc. Keep in mind that the contract may appear as a Daily Task, so you can return every day to hunt the beast for more Monstrous Teeth.

Step 2: The Sea Monster Battle - Defeating Kuharibu

Location:

Kuharibu will appear in the water, attacking nearby ships. You'll arrive to find it already sinking a smaller vessel.

Battle Strategy:

Preparation:

Ship Choice: Choose a sturdy ship with strong defense capabilities, such as the Snow or Brigantine. The Snow ship is ideal due to its high Brace capacity, allowing you to better withstand Kuharibu's charge attacks.

Weapons: Equip your ship with long-range weapons like the Fire Bombard or Long Gun for attacking Kuharibu from a safe distance. For up-close combat, the Demicannon works best, as it delivers heavy damage in close quarters.

Supplies: Make sure to have plenty of Repair Kits to fix any damage your ship takes. It's also a good idea to carry Restoration Kits, especially to counter the Flooding status caused by the monster's attacks.

The Battle:

Kuharibu's Attack Patterns: Kuharibu is an elusive and dangerous foe. It spends most of its time underwater, making it difficult to target. Watch out for when it emerges from the water to charge toward your ship-this will cause significant damage and can reduce your ship's maximum HP.

Evading Kuharibu: Keep moving and try to position your ship in such a way that you can fire at it while avoiding its charge attacks. You'll need to react quickly when it breaches the surface, as it can lunge at you unexpectedly.

Attack Strategy: Use long-range weapons when Kuharibu is at a distance and switch to close-range weapons when it gets too close. Make sure to keep your stamina in check to avoid getting caught off guard.

Victory and Loot:

Once Kuharibu is defeated, it will drop several valuable items. Be sure to loot the remains for Monstrous Flesh and Monstrous Tooth, which are the key items you need to farm.

Step 3: Farming Monstrous Tooth

How to Farm Monstrous Tooth:

After your first successful kill, you'll want to farm Monstrous Tooth for the rare rewards that require this currency. Here's how to farm it efficiently:

Daily Contract Availability:

The "From the Deep" Contract is available daily, so you can log in each day to fight Kuharibu again. Each defeat of the sea monster will yield Monstrous Tooth and Monstrous Flesh.

Drops Per Kill:

Each kill of Kuharibu will drop three Monstrous Tooth. This means that in a single day, you can collect up to three Monstrous Teeth.

Unlocking the Ouroboros Blueprint:

The Ouroboros Hull Armor is one of the primary items you can purchase with Monstrous Tooth, but it's not a quick unlock. To obtain the blueprint and the materials to craft the armor, you will need to farm Kuharibu for approximately 18 days-assuming you log in daily and complete the contract each time.

Step 4: Spending Monstrous Tooth

Once you've accumulated enough Monstrous Tooth, you can use it to purchase exclusive gear and cosmetics. The Sea People Huntmaster will be your primary vendor for these rare items.

Some of the top-tier items that require Monstrous Tooth include:

Ouroboros Hull Armor - One of the most powerful hull armor sets in the game.

Exclusive Cosmetics - Special outfits and cosmetic items that give your ship a unique look.

Final Thoughts:

Hunting sea monsters in Skull and Bones offers some of the most rewarding and thrilling gameplay experiences. Kuharibu, with its terrifying attacks and elusive nature, is a formidable foe, but with the right preparation and strategy, you'll be able to farm Monstrous Tooth efficiently.

Make sure to log in daily, complete the From the Deep Contract, and keep hunting for that precious Ouroboros Hull Armor and other coveted rewards. In the meantime, make sure to farm Skull and Bones Silver by plundering enemy ships, completing Takeover missions, and looting settlements to keep upgrading your ship and character. With enough Silver in your coffers, you can buy cosmetics, powerful upgrades, and unlock new blueprints that will give you an edge in battle. Happy hunting, captain!
