Pick Up Extra Weapon:
If Jack is standing near something he can use as a weapon, like a
bottle or barrel, pressing the
y
will pick it up. Press the
y
again
to drop it.
To really master Jack’s swashbuckling skills you’ll need to combine
sword attacks with punches, grapples and other picked up weapons.
Combining moves is great for cutting through the defenses of even
the best swordsmen. Try pressing the
A
,
X
and
Y
buttons in
different sequences.
Finishing Moves
The more creative that Jack is in his swordfighting the fuller the
Swordsmanship Meter becomes. This enables him to use one of four
special Finishing Moves. You unlock each one as you progress in the
game. Defeated enemies drop different pickups and, the fuller your
Swordsmanship Meter is, the better the pickup that is dropped.
These moves can only be done at certain times. When you’re
prompted on screen to use one, hold down the
w
and press the
A
,
X
,
B
and
Y
buttons as appropriate. If you press it quickly
enough you’ll get a special reward.
UNARMED COMBAT
(BRAWLING)
Sometimes two fists and a well-placed boot are more useful than
a sword. Jack and his allies have a range of moves that work in
these situations.
Again, don’t forget to use the environment to your advantage.
Knocking enemies into walls or tables will injure them more than
a punch alone. Even better, grab them and throw them off a
handy balcony.
In mass brawls you’ll be facing gangs of fighters. Simply flick the
L
towards an enemy to engage him or hold down the
w
to lock
on to one opponent.
Punch: X button
Kick:
A
button
It’s slower than punching but does wind and knock enemies
back a little.
Grapple:
Y
button
After grabbing use the
L
to throw them in a specific direction
Good brawlers combine punches, kicks, grapples and throws to
ensure that they come out on top. Try pressing the
A
,
X
, and
Y
buttons in different sequences.
