So jump of the crows nest to get your health low. Then sail into a storm and hold out your sword. An update made it so metal objects attract lighting.

You see that this post is 2 months old?

@ruggles-forever

Get your sword out and SAY u DONT want to be hit.
Or start fishing (u dont want to be hit when fishing).
Somehow i find that once i want something to kill me, it doenst. Once i dont want it to kill me i die 5x times in a row XD

@ruggles-forever Jump off your crows nest ladder a few times to get your health low. Then stand in the Crows nest it usually hits up there. might take a few lightning strikes but you will die up there.

its how i got it multiple times in the first event

Lightning strikes on the edges of the storm not in its eye... if you sail for a while at the storm's edge you'll get hit sooner or later.

Thanks to the new Fort of the Damned update, overall lighting strike chance has been increased, and holding your sword out will now increase that chance even more. Good luck on getting that white flame!

@ruggles-forever
Lol the fact that u are old enough to drop that reference made my day. It was my favorite show as a kid

@nwo-azcrack I'll climb up there and do my best He-Man impersonation until it happens. Thanks!

@ruggles-forever
Seems like anything metal in your hand will attract lightning. But the sword seems to work the best. Also if u stay in the crows nest, it seems like u have a better chance of being hit also

@nwo-azcrack Of course! A lightning rod. I'll give it a shot. Thanks.

Just keep your sword in your hand. Always works for me
