Remi's Caribbean Adventure, Part I
Intro
First time posting to this Forum - I wanted to be able to CONTRIBUTE something when I finally went active. I'm Remi Boncoeur, guildmaster of Square & Compass (Pirate Guild 267 if you look us up on XD) And, here's my work... Basically, it all stated when I turned 40 (in game.): http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h.../Intro-001.jpg I needed something to do, besides levelling those wretched grenades. So, I embarked on a Caribbean Adventure. Essentially, I've gone to every island to look for bugs/glitches, as well as plain and silly photo ops. Here's my set of "vacation photos." Never one to give away all of my secrets, I won't be saying how I pulled off each photo - some of them have already been given away on this site, and really it's going to be more fun for you to try them out on your own. I wasn't sure where to post this, since a lot of these shots are considered "glitches" ... but, since quite a few are just interesting/amusing shots, here we are in "screenshots." SIDE NOTE: I've done my best to NOT edit these photos in any way, with only one exception - on the "Ms. Swann" pic, I've edited out the dialogue in an effort to keep other pirate names out of this posting. ALSO, I didn't post a pic of every single time I found a way outside of an area, or inside a tree or bush... I'm frankly worried it's already a little too repetitive. Just spare us all from the "you didn't go behind the bar there!" or "ha! you didn't hide in that house!" I probably did... but congrats on finding it, too! Without further ado, my vacation photos (with semi-amusing captions): Port Royal I decided to start out where the whole adventure began... Port Royal. http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...tRoyal-003.jpg First things first, I wanted to meet up with the old friends who'd helped me along the way. Off I went to Ms. Swann's house - unfortunately, I stumbled through her fountain along the way to the mansion... http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...tRoyal-014.jpg She must not have been amused, since she did her best Donald Trump impression: http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...tRoyal-013.jpg Next up was Will Turner, but he was too busy to talk. http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...tRoyal-005.jpg The only person who really had time for me was the one who REALLY taught me swordfighting! http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...tRoyal-004.jpg Keep in mind that, as an occasionally-undead pirate, I needed to keep a low profile on this vacation: http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...tRoyal-001.jpg http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...tRoyal-002.jpg http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...tRoyal-006.jpg Despite any navy hostility, I tried to do the touristy things: See the local sites, art, and history across the landscape... http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...tRoyal-007.jpg http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...tRoyal-008.jpg http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...tRoyal-010.jpg http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...tRoyal-009.jpg The morbid side of me decided to visit some old friends, too. http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...tRoyal-020.jpg Of course, weird things seemed to start after the graveyard. First off, the caves held hidden treasures like solitary mine carts and ocean-front views: http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...tRoyal-017.jpg http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...tRoyal-018.jpg In a different cave, I wanted a picture with the big skull-spider-thing, but the undead witchdoctors kept messing up the shot. Instead, I had to stand inside the mountain and take a shot of it from behind... http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...tRoyal-021.jpg While I was there, I thought I'd try to pay back Jolly Roger for all of his unkindness - he wasn't fazed, sadly. http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...tRoyal-022.jpg UFOs disguised as shrubbery? http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...tRoyal-019.jpg Nothing much left to do here, aside from experience the open plains and hollow hedges: http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...tRoyal-011.jpg http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...tRoyal-012.jpg I stopped in at the gypsy cart, and heard about some new shops opening up, selling jewelry and clothing! http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...tRoyal-015.jpg Unfortunately, it doesn't look like they're open yet. http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...tRoyal-016.jpg "Maybe there are new shops in Tortuga... I could use a bigger hat." |
Part II
Tortuga
It didn't help that I sunk my ship en route and had to swim the rest of the way, other than giving me a nice pic of the town: http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...ortuga-003.jpg More bad news on shore, too! The seamstress was preparing for the new updates, but couldn't give me a definite date for them. http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...ortuga-002.jpg Oh, and before I forget! To anyone who's completed the quests and has bribed this guy his ton of gold... this felt good. http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...ortuga-001.jpg At any rate, I got a bit misguided looking around the island and had to use a back entrance to get to the swamp http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...ortuga-004.jpg At least walking around the outside of the swamp for part of the way kept all of the gators at bay... http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...ortuga-005.jpg Of course, I had to duck into the little shacks while I was inside. http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...ortuga-006.jpg Then came the rat's nest, where I went a bit overboard with "Flaming Skull" http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...ortuga-007.jpg To get these photos, it took a real leap of faith. http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...ortuga-008.jpg http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...ortuga-009.jpg At this point, I went around to the wild islands, hoping for some off-the-beaten-path thrills. Sailing No luck with shipping. First off, one wrong turn takes you to "uncharted waters." [Point: Before you laugh at my relatively tiny war sloop, I have one of each warship. Yeah, it's like that.] http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...O/Ship-001.jpg Even worse, the Kraken kept stealing my ships - once, I ended up in Davy Jones' Locker with my galleon, The Red King: http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...O/Misc-003.jpg http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...O/Misc-004.jpg Somehow I awoke from that nightmarish place... in prison? Well, nothing to do but strike a pose! http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...O/Misc-006.jpg With my boat destroyed (in theory), I decided to commandeer the Cuban shipwright's half -vessel and continue to the wild islands. http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...O/Misc-002.jpg Onward! |
Part III
Devil's Anvil
Since it was closest, figured I'd stop in and see my old pistol-giving friends at Devil's Anvil. Though, I wish someone would've told me about falling rocks - at least a warning sign or something! http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...sAnvil-001.jpg When I got inside the cave, it seems like Barbossa had fallen asleep smoking a pipe again: http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...sAnvil-002.jpg This seems to be the only way to have a photo op with Governor Swann. http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...sAnvil-004.jpg He didn't offer me an apple... http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...sAnvil-003.jpg Don't forget about Jack! http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...sAnvil-005.jpg Moving on... Isla Cangrejos There was NOTHING interesting here, so I took the opportunity to show everyone where to find the darn treasure on this island (be warned, it tends to not show up the first, second, or twentieth time.) http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...grejos-001.jpg Here's hoping for more at the next place. Rumrunner's Isle Who knew this little isle could be so frightening... perhaps it had something to do with the pack of Were-crabs: http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...unners-004.jpg I had to hide in a little basement, Evil Dead style! http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...unners-001.jpg Of course, in typical horror fashion, the place was twisted and strange - other- dimension-esque, if you will. http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...unners-002.jpg http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...unners-003.jpg Luckily, I kept moving along... Driftwood Island Being so worldly, I felt the urge to stand up and shout my views on protecting nature... http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...ftwood-001.jpg but didn't get a kind response. Instead, I barely escaped decapitation. http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...ftwood-002.jpg Cutting through a mountainside, I came to Bronze John, who said I could use his cabin to rest up: http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...ftwood-003.jpg http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...ftwood-004.jpg Again, never a normal place! http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...ftwood-005.jpg I offered to help him fix his ship, but just ended up... stuck? http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...ftwood-007.jpg http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...ftwood-008.jpg Bah, better to just keep on sailing... Isla Perdida Just a quick stop here, first to see Scary Mary... http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...erdida-001.jpg Then to shower behind the waterfall. http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...erdida-002.jpg So fresh, so clean, and continuing around the outer edge to Cuba! |
Part IV
Cuba
I travelled to Cuba for a variety of reasons... Firstly, I'd heard of a gator disguise that threw them off of your scent: http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...O/Cuba-002.jpg Also, this tree reminded me of the film, The Fountain. http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...O/Cuba-001.jpg If ever there were a "Pirate Heaven," this tavern in the sky might be it! http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...O/Cuba-004.jpg However, the barkeep accused me of "breaking the bar" and made me work off my debts, first as a bartender and then as a host... http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...O/Cuba-003.jpg http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...O/Cuba-016.jpg Finally, I convinced the shipwright to save me from the unfair work. http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...O/Cuba-010.jpg Now free again, I headed into the swamp to say hi to Tia Dalma - oops, I blinked in this one... http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...O/Cuba-006.jpg That's better. http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...O/Cuba-007.jpg I had to rent a boat to get to her, what with all of the diseased swampwater I'd heard about from friends: http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...O/Cuba-008.jpg Tia Dalma was out feeding her pets, as usual http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...O/Cuba-005.jpg BUT, she had an interesting tip for me! "Beyond the boardwalk... http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...O/Cuba-011.jpg and down the dark corridors... http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...O/Cuba-009.jpg beyond the swamps... http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...O/Cuba-013.jpg lies WORLD'S END!" http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...O/Cuba-012.jpg http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...O/Cuba-014.jpg http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...O/Cuba-015.jpg Who knew? Isla Tormenta I was really hoping to just skip Tormenta, but stormy weather knocked me off course. One minute you're happily sleeping in your cabin, and then... http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...rmenta-002.jpg http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...rmenta-003.jpg http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...rmenta-005.jpg I tried sneaking past all of Davy's crew... http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...rmenta-004.jpg And hiding in the next outgoing shipment: http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...rmenta-006.jpg I was quickly found, bound, and brought to their leader. http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...rmenta-007.jpg Luckily, they underestimated me and left me on the beach for the crabs to finish. Too bad for them, I left before they could materialize! http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...rmenta-008.jpg Back on course, towards Outcast! |
Part V
Outcast Isle
Ah, Outcast Isle, the prettiest of them all! http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...utcast-009.jpg Unfortunately, there was a cold spell that froze things up a bit - I had to skate from place to place on top of the water! As you can see by my expression, I'm not a cold-weather pirate: http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...utcast-008.jpg Don't you think this clearing should be hiding a Master Sword or something? http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...utcast-001.jpg I met a Stump, but it (and he) was short-lived... http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...utcast-002.jpg http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...utcast-003.jpg http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...utcast-004.jpg Listen to the hints, kids: Don't pet the scorpions! http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...utcast-005.jpg Oh, and watch out for bugs in the thick underbrush. http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...utcast-006.jpg Fortunately, there's a nice place to observe it all from: http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...utcast-007.jpg I heard Padres was acting a bit lively for a volcano, so I crossed the small channel (with the big ships) to check it out... Padres del Fuego The volcano did look exciting... http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...Padres-001.jpg But I wanted a MUCH closer look. http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...Padres-009.jpg After I'd gotten my fill, I used the hidden cave to get back to town. http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...Padres-012.jpg I did some extreme vacation stunts, like cliff diving: http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...Padres-018.jpg Unfortunately, I missed. http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...Padres-017.jpg Nothing like a good haystack to get your spirits high again! http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...Padres-010.jpg Besides, of course, a stay at Club Ded: http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...Padres-007.jpg While there, I heard about some catacombs with Jolly Roger as the guest of honor... http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...Padres-013.jpg But you know me, I needed a closer look. http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...Padres-014.jpg ... too close. Ouch. http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...Padres-015.jpg That ball of green fire had odd effects on me. Soon I could do things like fly, survive fiery heat, and walk on water! http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...Padres-005.jpg http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...Padres-004.jpg http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...Padres-008.jpg Once that wore off, I did a quick (safe) cave tour over some lava falls... http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...Padres-003.jpg And left towards the final two islands - Cutthroat next! |
Part VI
Cutthroat Isle
I always wondered how these islands got their names... I learned about this one the hard way! http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...throat-002.jpg With a bit more fear, I went the Rambo route through the jungles... http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...throat-003.jpg http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...throat-001.jpg And STILL ended up in the weird! How about a sky battle with a Stump? I won, and vanquished him back to the shadows! http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...throat-004.jpg http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...throat-005.jpg Last island, and maybe a normal experience... Kingshead Does anyone else remember Jurassic Park when they see this entrance? http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...gshead-008.jpg Before heading inside, I wanted to find that second dock on the other side of the island - it took a little climbing, but I made it: http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...gshead-005.jpg http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...gshead-006.jpg http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...gshead-007.jpg Inside Kingshead, things were quiet... a little TOO quiet: http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...gshead-002.jpg http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...gshead-003.jpg http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...gshead-004.jpg I searched high and low, from balconys to boxes... http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...gshead-012.jpg http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...gshead-013.jpg but I only found 1 guard! http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...gshead-011.jpg Just as I was about to commit to a simple life of farming, though... http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...gshead-010.jpg http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...gshead-009.jpg I was ambushed and thrown in the old jail! This time, with an awake guard! http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...gshead-016.jpg Luckily, I gave them the slip on the way to my execution: http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...gshead-014.jpg Good thing, too, since this is what would have become of me! http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...gshead-015.jpg With that, my vacation ends... Outro And now, Remi stands on the shores and waits for new adventures to come to him - it's very zen, you should try it. http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h.../Outro-001.jpg Thanks in advance for comments! |
Wow, great! Thanks for posting all this. I need to give the link to PotCO in the Report a Bug screen, if you haven't already done it. That is really interesting, with all the bugs and stuff! I want to know how to get into the Kingshead Jail Cells. I want to grenade or staff the Assassin without getting myself torn to shreds!
|

|
Remi, we met once upon a time in the Tormenta Cave, but you are such a busy guy, you probably don't remember me! I enjoyed all the pics, you should be the official POTCO tour guide! :vlaugh: I really should take screenshots of all my bugs, but I always think of it after the fact!
