My favorite boss battle glitch is when you are alone on the black pearl (obviously, after the officers) or with a patient friend, you can go to one of the front two cannons, walk directly AFT into the railing, and you will glitch off the black pearl. From there, you can run through the mountains and board the Goliath, inspect the fortifications, look at the cannons on the beach behind you, etc. (I know that the same glitch used to work at the very very front of the bow of the black pearl. They may move it again.)
Next favorite, is the one I used to beat the boss battle alone (without a crew) on July 5th, 2008. That is, for the last two bridges (eight and nine) I managed to get the black pearl next to them, wedged between the left and right mountains, bouncing. The bridges could not hit the black pearl as it was bouncing... Since I was out of ammo, I just used round shot on the last two bridges until they were gone. Then, for the first and last time, actually had a sailing battle against Goliath. About eight broadsides later, victory!
Not sure if the bouncing is an intentional glitch, or even if it is considered a glitch at all. (I personally think it is.) But whenever the black pearl is bouncing, bridges/forts can't seem to hit it.
Oh, if you board the Goliath while in that glitch, there is no way to glitch back off it. You will have to start a PvP match with someone, or log out. The Goliath is HUGE.
Interesting that the different forts for the four pairs of bridges come from the different forts in the game - like Fort Charles, Fort Dundee, Kingshead, etc.
Interesting too, that my experiements with different ammo types on the four frigates did NOT seem to have the effects I thought they did, when battling with crew. Fury seems to work better, probably because anyone that has fury, can actually hit their target...but for me, made no big difference. Lightning has the most ammo storage (because you shoot only one at a time, instead of three at a time) so it was my preferred ammo for BB.
The bridges seem weakest at the hinges of the drawbridges.
