The Sea of Thieves subreddit has a megathread just for reporting bugs. Several comments in the thread highlight issues with the Sunken Pearl.
"Was doing the sunken pearl tall tale, and at the part where you fight the kraken on the boat no cannonballs or fruit spawned in the barrels and we couldn't fight the kraken properly," says Patwizer269.
"Yes The Sunken Pearl is a clusterfuck and buggy mess," explains SemSevFor.
xdeltax97 says, "The Sunken Pearl tall tale is the epitome of the pain meme. My god the bugs and annoying glitches."
There are several more reports along the same lines. Most of them have to do with the fact that the game won't progress when you complete steps. For example, a door in the final chapter won't open to allow you to enter the final battle.
Krakens and ... bugs
The latest update to Sea of Thieves brings the world of Pirates of the Caribbean into the game. Unfortunately, there are issues with it at the moment that Rare is working to fix.
