COMING SOON MESSAGE!

I have more (but I'm too lazy of a pirate to post them all).

I'm loving the Black Pearl in the mountains pic.....

Guess they ain't fixed that yet then :-/

So when you pay to play this is as far as you can go right now? With the players all frantically trying to get back to their former levels they will be at this point in no time. Won't people start yelling and dropping the pay game if they can't do anything more?

I did the Boss Battle. You just have to kill the bridges, not even the little Light Frigates that attack you. Then go ahead and kill the goliath. The only cannon shot that can hurt it (unless you find a sweet spot) is the lightning bolt.

For those who have completed it...what sailing level were you at?

And do you NEED to have a high cannon level to finish the boss battle?

Here's what I did...

When you first arrive on the Black Pearl, start to steer it towards the Light Frigates in the background. The gameplay will stop, and a movie will begin. It shows the 4 Light Frigates cornering you in. They all fire at the same time, so you have a limited ammount of time to sink them with the small cannons. ( You wont use Broadside in the Boss Battle ) They may cause you to get to red health on the Black Pearl. But I advise you have Lightning or Firebrand. ( These Light Frigates are the only thing that can harm you for now. ) After you destroy the Light Frigates, you will have to position yourself where you can hit the first 3 Bridges. (It will take a LLLOOONNNGGG time to do them all.) After the first 3 are dead, sail through until you see the next 2. Sink them, then move on to the next 2, and so on until they are all dead. ( Feel free to use your high-powered cannon ammo, you wont use any cannons on the Goliath. ) Finally you get to the Goliath. It starts to fire on you, but it doesn't do any damage. ( It's bugged for right now I believe. ) The only way to harm it is to ram it. The sweet-spot is right between the Helm and where the small cannons begin. It will take about 4-5 rams if you have it to level 3. ( I had mine there, so I only did it with that. ) It will take about 5-10 minutes to sink it.


After you have sunk the Goliath and got the Black Pearl back, you will probably have a black screen for a while. When it finally goes away, you'll be in Tortuga. Your quest will be to return to Captain Jack Sparrow in the Faithful Bride bar. When you walk in, a movie will begin. Jack will say something like " Good job! " in his own words. Then he'll talk about the Headstone on Padres Del Fuego. ( The next main Story Quest. ) In the movie, it will appear he gives you a bag of gold, but don't be thinking it's real- because it's not. The final part is where he has you go to Valentina the Gypsy on Padres Del Fuego. There is nothing else after that for right now, so congratulations! You just beat the Black Pearl Story Quest!

Yeah, what i did to beat the boss battle is defeat a light frigate with firebrand, then level up and used the skill point on lightning bolt, used the lightning bolt to pwn the other 3 light frigates, defeat the drawbridges (takes forever), then sink the goliath with ramming. All this takes like an hour alone. If you don't have ramming speed, you're out of luck.

Nice pics matey...I am only 20 odd % finished with the black pearl quest. SAD!

Cool! You can sail the Black Pearl? I didn't know that. (and I thought Goliath was a big snake or somethin'...)

lol what a level 38 war frigate lol
anyway those are cool pics thx for posting them

How many skill points do you need on Ramming Speed?

I only had 3 on my ram, and it worked fine... Only a couple of minutes.

That's funny, I'm too lazy of a pirate to even take screen caps, LOL.

what kind of ship is the Black Pearl? and wut is the quest right be4 the bosS?

It doesn't say what type of ship it is, but from the class on the only 3 models we have in this game, I would say it's some sort of Sloop.


The quest right before is to get Bowdash another chest, but it's in the Tormenta Cave.

Thanks for posting that. It'll be forever before I'll get to that level

maybe someone can answer this...

I see there is an option to do this boss battle alone or with a crew!

I am level 32 not. right now, I have mastered cannon, however I am very low level in sailing. I was going to do this with a crew, but do I actually have to steer the pearl in order to complete this quest? Or can one of my high level sailing friends help me?

Only speaking from exerience of doing the boss battle before it went offline (don't know what it will be like when it comes back), sailing level really doesn't matter in the boss battle. I think cannon level helps more. At the beginning there are 4 ships shooting at you, so it's good to have at least 4 in your crew that has fast cannons. That was the only area you could get damaged.

You do have to steer the ship, but it's mainly steering it through the canal and positioning the ship correctly. I didn't or couldn't really use broadsides. And there's not much room to move around anyway.

Again, we don't know what the changes will be when it finally comes out.

That is so cool! Thanks very much for posting.
Also, what is the reward for completing the quest? And can you use the Black Pearl later after the quest?

it should give u the black pearl once u finish though

I REALLY want to do this battle.

Great pics.

Great detail of the pearl in the forest.

Thanks for the pictures! :)

Haha, I love those two guys :)

Nice, this gives me something to look forward too. Does anyone have any idea when the boss battle will be back? I've been slowly working the quest, just so Im not waiting around with everyone else. Im at 89%. Im about to run out of quest to stall on.

ive heard that its coming back on april 3rd

Someone actually heard a tentative date? please do tell where u heard that from? It would be funny to bring it out Apr 1st though.

Boss Battle: coming out April 1st!!! Then on April 1st, you click on Boss Battle "April Fool's!"

LOL i can imagine that woot omg boss battle out *click* *message pops up saying HaHa! got you*

anyway yea i want it to come out :(

Where is Valentina anyways?

on padres del fuego :p as u are heading to romeny bev (the other gypsy on tortuga) before here "arch" u will see a white arch valentina is under there

So that's how it goes! Very cool! *is waiting for the boss battle*

omg the goliath is only lvl 38???

Can you sail the pearl more than once? Or is it just for this? Cuz sailing it more than once i would love that.

If the Goliath is a level 38 War Frigate, I would expect it to use Fury, Explosive and Thunderbolt almost solely. Otherwise, it won't be much of a challenge.

And from what I've seen of the Pearl, it's got the general shape of a War Sloop but is armed like a Frigate. So Ima call it a Slogate. Or a Frigoop.

I think the Pearl is actually a Schooner.

actually it may sound easy "oh i have the strongest ship with the most cannons and broadsides in the game this guy will be cake he is only lvl 38" yes that is true however the goliath has 18 broadsides, AND might i remind you that the boss battle is not only defeat the goliath u need to sink like 7 light frigates destroy liek 3 draw bridges and turrets and THEN you get to the goliath which means u have already sustained pretty hard damage

Actually it's more a matter of concentrating on your gunning. if most of what you do is gunning, then you shouldn't have much issue sinking some light frigates.

Boss Battle is up. The last I've seen of Goliath is level 41. Easier than I thought!
