‘JACKANISM’
Jack has his own approach to problems, especially those problems
carrying swords and guns! Press the
w
+
x
+
A
button to let Jack
handle things his own way. You’ll need to collect Shrunken Heads to
be able to perform a Jackanism. You can carry up to three at a time.
When activated it can knock back or instantly kill surrounding enemies
or trigger special events. However, the results can be unpredictable so
be careful not to stand near any explosives when you do this!
Doing it Jack’s way and performing for the crowds will give him even
more fame and notoriety, as well as a tactical advantage. Be careful
where you use it as special treasures can be found and certain chests
can only be opened this way.
ADVANCED SWASHBUCKLING
A clever fighter uses more than his sword and fists to win the battle.
Learn to upset an opponent’s balance to gain a tactical advantage and
to use the environment to win the battle.
Extra weapons
Jack can pick up and use certain objects as weapons; barrels, bottles and
chair legs can all be used. Press the
y
to pick the weapon up, use it as
a close combat weapon, e.g. smash a bottle over an enemy’s head, with
the
X
button or throw it with
z
. Locking on to an opponent first
by holding the
w
will help your accuracy when throwing a weapon.
Knives and Grenados are also thrown with the
z
and
y
. Holding
down the
y
for a longer period will throw the Grenado further.
Fire Flintlock Pistol
Jack’s last line of defense is his trusty flintlock pistol. Although
powerful, there’s a slight delay between pulling the trigger and
firing. Press the
z
in to fire the pistol. It carries three rounds
and enemies will drop items you can use to reload it with.
It will be more accurate if you’re already locked on to your
opponent by holding
w
down.
Gunpowder Barrels
These special barrels contain highly volatile gunpowder. They can
be ignited if you create a spark by striking them a sword (press the
A
button). It takes a couple of seconds for the fuse to light
the powder itself. So Jack can pick it up (
y
) and throw it
(
A
or
X
buttons). If you don’t want to throw it, simply drop it
(
y
again) and let it roll away. Try shooting Gunpowder Barrels
with your Flintlock Pistol for a more immediately explosive result.
MULTIPLE PIRATE CONTROL
Sometimes you’ll end up fighting alongside an ally. During these
scraps it’s important to protect each other’s backs. Watch the two
health bars carefully as you’ll need to switch between characters to
keep them alive. Press left or right on the
l
to change characters.
If you stick close to your ally and perform a counter, you may
automatically execute a special back-to-back move. Not only does it
look great, you’ll earn Notoriety too.
