The Bigger the Boat... Pirates of Caribbean 2 Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
This is the first mission in which you can use the Super Heavy Attack, although it's pointless to use ammo for it, especially in Will's case.
After defeating the first group of pirates, run to the left side of the ship where apart from mooring lines to cut you'll find a treasure chest. After you open up the way to the bow take a powder keg and return to the stairs on the left. Blow up the stack of crates lying nearer to the camera and you'll find a Map Piece.
Next return to the bow, cut off the boats and after a short animation start burning the masts. After the foremast and mizzenmast are aflame another problem will come up... along with Don Carrera, who is also the solution to it. His Thousand Strike Spin will tear the mainmast up easily, on the condition you make him use it. This can be accomplished by hitting him 3 times in a row.
The fight with Don Carrera is one of the most tedious ones in the game, although the result is very rewarding - the Spanish ship will go up in smoke like a bit of tinder.
