Beam Balancing
Use the
L
to cross narrow beams. If Jack starts to lose his balance
hold down the
x
and he will plunge his sword into the beam to
stop him falling completely off the beam.
Negotiating Narrow Ledges
While creeping or shimmying along narrow ledges, watch out for
cracks! These places are not stable and may crumble. If Jack starts
to balance, hold down the
x
and plunge his sword into the wall.
Then press left or right on the
L
to swing in that direction and
grab onto a safe ledge.
If the ledge has already crumbled by the time that Jack reaches it,
again use the
x
to plunge the sword into the wall and the
L
to
swing across the gap.
SWORDFIGHTING
(A.K.A. SWASHBUCKLING)
As this is a game about pirates, it’s fair to say there’s plenty of
fighting. But pirates don’t just swordfight, they swashbuckle.
Swashbuckling combines flamboyant sword techniques with
punches, kicks and the occasional bottle over the head, as well as
using the environment to even up the odds. And Jack will need all
his swashbuckling skills to fend off the hordes of enemies attacking
from every side.
When Jack gets into a fight, which will be often, he’ll stay locked
on to an enemy. If he’s fighting more than one opponent, simply
flick the
L
towards a different opponent to start fighting them
instead. It’s a good idea not to focus on one opponent too much,
as you don’t want to give the others a chance to stick a sword in
Jack’s back.
Sword Swipe:
A
button
Attack with your sword. Take care not to over use this attack as
some enemies will begin to counter it.
Punch or Use Picked Up Weapons:
X
button
Some enemies will have a tough guard. Use this button to punch
them in the face or use a weapon you’ve picked up. It should give
you an opening to use your Sword Swipe.
Grapple:
Y
button (when enemy is stunned)
After grabbing, use the
L
to throw them in a specific direction.
Evade / Counter
Some enemies will try to surround you and stick a sword in your
back. Watch out for a glint of light from their sword, quickly flick
the
L
toward them to face their attack. Then press the
A
or
Y
buttons to repel the charge.
