| Port Royal |
| Port Royal is the next destination. In this Battle Level 20 world, the heroes meet up with a group of surly pirates cursed by their love of gold. To be successful here, you must determine how to defeat the pirates and their new Heartless. To make matters simpler, a couple of new friends join along: Will Turner and Captain Jack Sparrow. Help them out when the opportunity arises and they'll be sure to return the favor! The Pirates' Secret The first time the heroes encounter the pirates, they cannot inflict any damage on them until the moon emerges from behind the clouds. When this occurs, it is easy to defeat them. Keep this in mind whenever you have to fight the pirates. Proceed to the Town after fighting the Pirates. After defeating all the Heartless and agreeing to help Will, return to the harbor to meet "Captain" Jack Sparrow. Speak with Will when you're ready to chase after the Black Pearl to the Isle de Muerta. Ship-to-Ship Battle After escaping from the Isle de Muerta and setting sail for Port Royal, the Black Pearl seizes the Interceptor. Some pirates jump over to the Interceptor to steal back the medallion, while the remaining foes bombard you from the Black Pearl. The goal is complete the medallion safe while defeating the Pirates and attacking the Black Pearl with the Interceptor's cannons. It helps immensely if you take out some of the pirates who board this ship. Lots of moonlight hit the ship's deck, so there is no need to lure them into the light. Switch into Valor Form and start wading throught the foes. If one of the piractes ends up with the medallion, defeat them immediately. In-between combo attacks against the pirates, try to fire the cannons at the Black Pearl. When you get close to one, the Reaction Command symbol for Cannon Bomb appears. The animation for this attack takes a few seconds, so don't trigger it when you are deep in battle with one of the pirates. After clearing the deck a bit, start firing the cannons on a regular basis. To win this battle, defeat all of the pirates onboard the Interceptor. The Get Bonuses are a Max HP boost for Sora and Goofy and the Draw ability for Donald. Save the Interceptor! The next big event battle isn't that much of an event once you know what to do. Barbossa's crew loads the Interceptor with explosives, so that the heroes must dispose of five burning barrels before they explode. In addition, there are several Cannon Guns and Air Pirates creating other distractions. The main focus during this battle should be getting the explosives off the ship as quickly as possible. To get rid of the barrel bombs, simply run up to one and use the Launch Reaction Command. Look for the battle marquee to appear when one of the bombs is about to explode. When this occurs, make that barrel the next priority. For disposing all the explosives, you win the following Get Bonuses: Max HP boosts for Donald and Jack, an Item Slot for Sora, and Second Chance for Goofy. Barbossa HP : 612 Damage Weapons - Normal damage Fire - 3/4 damage Blizzard - 3/4 damage Thunder - 3/4 damage Dark - 3/4 damage Other - 3/4 damage Sora and his pals run into Barbossa near the heart of the cave on Isle de Muerta. He's about to start his ceremony all over again with Will in tow. After foiling his plans, he calls in his buddy Pete to help even the playing field (after all it's three on one!) Pete summons the Illuminator Heartless. This creature has the power to absorb light and plunges the cave into darkness, protecting Barbossa from incoming attacks. Each time one of these enemies appears, stop what you are doing and start searching the room for a pair of glowing eyes. The Illuminator clings to the wall, so make a thourough circuit around the room to find it. It only takes a few hits to eliminate the Illuminator. Like the other Pirates, it's important to get Captain Barbossa into the moonlight so that you can inflict damage. If he enters a darkened area, back away and entice him into the light. Take advantage of Jack Sparrow's Limit attacks as often as your MP permits. Both Valor and Wisdom Forms have their advantages in this battle as well. Wisdom Form enables Sora to attack from a distance, but it is significantly weaker than Valor Form. However, both are great for their instant HP and MP recovery. Before entering either one, take advantage of that and unload a torrent of blizzards from afar. If you elect to fight up close and personal (which you will most likely do at some point during this battle), watch for chances to initiate devastating combos and counters. Many Reaction Commands only appear for a brief moment, so keep a finger near the triangle button. Barbossa's attacks are swift and powerful, capable of knocking back the heartiest foe. His bombs have a surprisingly far reach and blast radius. The best place to approach him is from the side or behind when he's focusing on your teammates. Any time Barbossa appears sluggish, move in fro a quick combo and jump back to avoid his speedy response. For Get Bonuses, you receive a Max HP boost for Donald and Jack and a Drive Gauge power-up and the Aerial Finish ability for Sora. Goofy receives two new abilities, Teamwork and Auto Limit. Before leaving Port Royal, Sora also acquires the Follow the Wind Keyblade and opens up two new worlds: Agrabah and Halloween Town. |
