Last Pirates: Die Together Beginner Guide

The objective

Find treasure, return it, and keep one pirate alive

The current official description is clear about the loop: enter a cursed location, use elastic arms and physics interactions to collect valuables, and get the haul back aboard. At least one pirate must survive to carry out the gold.

Built-in tutorial

Use the tutorial before learning from old Demo videos

The Early Access launch notes say the built-in tutorial covers long, stretchy hands, drinking rum, handing in treasure, and rescue basics. The August 26 update also corrected the guide NPC, revive step, cart-delivery point, crouch step, and bottle step.

1. 01
   Practice grabbing and pulling

   Learn how the arms affect loot and nearby objects before attempting a dangerous carry.

2. 02
   Complete the treasure hand-in

   Identify the actual return point instead of treating the beach or a temporary pile as secure.

3. 03
   Finish the revive lesson

   The step exists in the current tutorial, but this guide does not invent the exact input or timing without a live settings or tutorial capture.

4. 04
   Read current prompts

   Post-launch fixes changed tutorial wording and interactions, so current on-screen prompts outrank old Demo recordings.

First voyage

A cautious first-run sequence

1. 01
   Choose solo or crew play

   Both are supported, but official notes say quota, shop, item counts, and enemy spawns are balanced separately.

2. 02
   Mark the return route

   Before going deeper, make sure the crew can describe how to get the current load back aboard.

3. 03
   Secure a small load first

   This is conservative field advice: bank a simple return while learning the location rather than assuming every item must leave in one trip.

4. 04
   React to the actual threat

   Use the monster encounter reference for behavior notes and responses. Do not rely on old one-shot, range, or door-pathing reports after multiple balance patches.

5. 05
   Check the save boundary

   Official notes say progress saves each day and chapter; current item and host ownership still need live verification.

Healing and rescue

What the official updates actually confirm

The down-time figures are dated balance values and may change again during Early Access. They should not be used to invent a universal rescue animation window.

Progress

Progress now saves every day and chapter

The August 21 update expanded saving beyond chapter boundaries to every day. The same update separated solo and team balance and fixed store stats after reconnect.

Still unknown without live evidence: whether every carried item persists, which progress belongs to the host, what a full crew wipe rolls back, and how a reconnect interacts with the newest save point.
