Sea of Remnants Beginner Guide: How to Start Your Adventure

So you wake up on a boat with no memory, a mysterious compass, and a sea that looks like it's hiding way too many secrets. Sounds perfectly normal. Before you know it, you're paddling toward a glowing destination and meeting strange characters.

This guide covers the basics of getting started in Sea of Remnants using the Wanderer Test walkthrough. You'll also find a collection of beginner tips that can make your early adventure a little smoother, from finding treasure to training your crew.

Complete the Opening Tutorial

Your adventure begins with a few setup options before you officially enter the game.

Once the opening begins, you'll wake up on a small boat in the middle of the sea. The tutorial introduces the basic movement controls and asks you to paddle toward the Place of Light. Along the way, the story introduces the mysterious book and several early conversations that begin setting up the game's world.

Take your time during this section, as it serves as your introduction to both the controls and the story.

Follow the Main Quest

After the opening scenes, you'll create your character by customizing features such as clothing, hair, and eyes.

Your first quest is called Unexpected Compass. The objective asks you to leave the Maintenance Room and continue following the compass marker.

As you progress, you can use the dash function to move around more quickly while following your objective. Simply continue following the compass to advance through the early tutorial.

Eventually, you'll reach Orbtopia, which becomes your first major location during the Wanderer Test.

Explore Orbtopia

Orbtopia introduces you to a busier area filled with other players.

While exploring, you'll notice that players can leave notes for others to discover. You can interact with these messages as you continue following your objective.

For beginners, the best approach is simply to stay focused on the main quest. Following the compass will naturally guide you through the early stages of the game while introducing new locations.

Useful Tips for Beginners

Use Recon Frequently

Press X to activate Recon while exploring.

Recon helps reveal nearby treasure chests and may also uncover hidden enemies. Using it regularly makes it easier to spot useful rewards that you might otherwise miss.

Open Every Treasure Chest

Treasure chests are an important source of early experience.

Opening them helps you level up faster, and leveling up rewards you with items such as Big Coins. Whenever you're exploring a new area, it's worth checking around for every chest you can find.

Gather Ingredients Along the Way

Keep an eye out for gathering materials during your adventure.

The Wanderer Test shows ingredients such as Non Fruit, Honeywort, and Hoofwart. These materials can be used to make barbecue and medicine, both of which can help during battles.

Destroy Wooden Crates

Many wooden crates contain useful items. However, not every crate is completely safe. Some may hide enemies instead of rewards, so be prepared whenever you decide to smash one open.

Use Auto Battle

If you want the game to handle combat automatically, you can enable Auto Battle using the button in the upper right corner of the screen.

This feature can be useful during routine encounters while you're learning the game's systems.

Train Your Crew

When training becomes available, visit the Shack in town. Crew training requires Big Coins and allows you to improve attributes including Tenacity, Mobility, Resilience, and Flexibility.

After completing the first training tier, you can perform a Break Through if you have the required Black Pearls. You can then continue strengthening your crew through Mind Enhancement.

Cook Before Setting Out

Before heading out on another adventure, stop at a Bonfire. Using the Grill lets you turn collected ingredients into different kinds of barbecue. Different ingredient combinations produce different food with different stat bonuses.

You can also rest at the bonfire to restore your crew's HP before continuing your journey.

Check Events and Mail

Make it a habit to visit both the Events and Mail menus.

The Wanderer Test includes limited time CBT events, while the Mail menu can contain free rewards sent to your account. Be sure to claim them before they expire.

Conclusion

The opening hours of Sea of Remnants are more about getting comfortable with the world than rushing toward the finish line. Follow your compass, explore whenever you can, and don't ignore those treasure chests or ingredients sitting right beside the road. Your crew will thank you later, even if the crates occasionally decide to fight back.
