FIGHTING WITH AN ALLY
Sometimes you’ll end up fighting alongside an ally. In
these scenarios, timing your attacks with each other is
extremely important. Help your heroes defeat their enemies by
following the on-screen prompts. Don’t delay as timing is
crucial. Making a mistake may cost you a life… possibly yours!
SECONDARY ITEMS
AND INVENTORY
During your adventures, you’ll find valuable loot and weapons
dropped by defeated enemies, and also hidden in some barrels.
In addition to a sword, each character can carry four items:
Health
Boosts
Health is represented by a chicken.
Throwing
Knives
These are very fast but not very
powerful.
Flintlock
The flintlock is your trusty pistol.
It is slow to aim but quite powerful.
Grenades
Grenades require skill in your
aim but the explosive effect is
devastating .
Press the appropriate button and your HUD will change
to show the selected item. Press the
button to use the
selected item. The amount of items you have is denoted by
the number underneath the item on your HUD. You can
also check your inventory by pressing the SELECT button.
SUB-MISSIONS
These vary from finding a specific quantity of Spanish Gold
coins, demonstrating your swashbuckling skill, or getting
slapped by a number of spurned lovers! Completing these
missions will open up more rewards in your ‘Treasure Cove’.
Look for characters with exclamation points (!) over
their heads. Move closer and press the
button to speak
to them. You can choose whether or not to offer them
your help.
‘JACKANISM’
Occasionally, when playing as Jack, you’ll be given the
opportunity to help him react to a situation in his own
eccentric way by performing a ‘Jackanism’. Performing for
the crowds will give him even more fame and notoriety, as
well as a tactical advantage in the approaching fight. You
also unlock a special item from the treasure cove.
You use similar sequences of button presses and analog
stick movements as when you’re fighting with an ally.
Follow the on-screen prompts as fast as you can as timing
is important.
Be careful though as you only have one attempt. Failing a
‘Jackanism’ will leave you in a worse situation than before,
maybe facing even more opponents.
