Post pearl boss battle tips

now u all might not like these tips but they will work

first bring THREE people i do not care if there your friends if u bring 12 the frigates will kill u too many people equals too much damage

second choose the best sailor ( highest leveled sailor )

third if u are sailing that does not mean u can not man a cannon u need to fire too

fourth fire at the same thing it saves time and health

fifth only bring people with thunder fire will not work

sixth when officers come use voodoo dolls so u can all heal eachother

seventh get tonics those officers are strong ecpecially the lv 39

eighth get full ammo

ninth make a plan before u take the wheel

tenth DO NOT I REPEAT TRY TO PASS THROUGH THE FORTS THEY WILL FIRE TRIPLE STRENGTH AT U

eleventh get FAR away from the goliath it will kill u if u get too close

twelth kill the officers they cut u down if u dont

thirteenth bring good and strong people ot ur best friend whos a lv seven on a basic account

fourteenth most important BRING ME i am very good at sailing killing navy and firing a canon

fifteenth dont go alone a captains nothing without his loyal crew

sixteenth i already said this only three can go u and two other people hopefully u me and someonelse lol but its stupid to bring 12 people officers die quickly but so will u

seventeenth do not fight over the wheel it does not matter who drives as long as u survive

these are the tips for the black pearl boss battle these are probably the best tips u can find if u dont follow these tips leys just say it was nice knowing you

Some tips here are pretty good, a few are really "situation" specific.

Whoever is sailing is more or less forced to a cannon on the stage against the frigates, so thier cannon skills must be decent. Once past this stage leaving the helm could be further dangerous depending on your approach to the bridges.

If you get a few level 30+ pirates with staff on your crew, clearing the dock of officers in the first stage of the battle takes about 20 seconds (all staffs blasting wither) and helps everyone survive easily, and likely not even need to heal anyone.

I won my boss battle with just me sailing, and one guildy at cannons.

I've beaten it with as few as 2 pirates, and as many as 12.
It maybe harder with more people, but you have more firepower.
It simply comes down to who is on the crew, and how well thier shooting, and how well the pirate at the helm is at avoiding enemy fire while positioning the ship for attack of the bridges (and then Goliath).

I have noticed in the numerous boss battle's i've participated that there seem to be 3-4 different approachs from the sailing perspective.

Anyone care to elaborate on thier boss battle 'sailing' tactics? Im a master sailor, but always choose NOT to 'drive' as I havent really gotten comfortable with any method, and i'm usually busy blasting with cannons.

hehe, wow, quoted a pretty old post...

One first (i was being nice).

On the second, i'd say its still somewhat true with me. What I know and used/done successfully are what ive picked up from observations on others battles ive been on.

Most frequent and seems to be most successful leaves the frigates and the first bridges mostly to the cannoneers, using take cover and moving some to avoid inbound fire.

Then as you pass the first bridge tuck ship just past last bridge as far left as you can get it, and the mountain shields alot of the ship so cannons can take out the bridges. Waiting for skills to recharge each time before you head to the next set of bridges, 3rd bridges similar, and from then firepower skills and luck
Goliath stay where it puts you on goliaths terms, and hit her hard and sink her fast, or hit full sail and get some distance and come back and hit her from distance on your terms. Depends alot on your crew.

As I said before, Im usually on cannons, my preferred role in BB's

Frigs: use rear cannons, hit only the left rear frig coz the front frig is impossible to hit using the rear cannon, then go over to right & help the ppl on right side to sink the rear & front frigs (usually the rear one has already sunk by now).

Sailing part, tacking is a MUST skill if you wanna be able to dodge cannons & such. Thats how I pretty much win.
I do use Take Cover & Open Fire for all 4 of sets of bridges.
My lvl 36 with max sailing (been winning since I was lvl 30 tho) for tacking/open fire/take cover rank pts is 1/2/3...I win mostly in the green about 25-40% ship damage, record is 14%.
Last time I took my lvl 25 with lvl 20 sailing (better tacking T/OF/TC = 2/1/3), it was the best on that name so far, actually the only win so far, 19% ship damage. I do plan to max out tacking, so it would be 5/1/3, maybe I'll be able to get less than 10% damage one day lol.

Tacking & knowing how to sail is hard to describe without seeing me do it, but basically:
Going thru the 1st set of bridges, shoot 2nd's left fort & then spin/wobble/whatever the ship backwards to dodge its cannons that r shooting where u were using ur tacking skill. Then take out right fort. 3rd set of bridges, same thing: shoot left fort then right fort, dodge cannons in the meantime. 4th set: ram/full sail to dodge their explosives (or whatever it is now, I remember it shooting explosives, took my green ship to the red zone almost always if I got hit with only the first wave, it shoots regular cannons after the first wave tho).

Goliath: broadside, broadside, broadside! LOL, right after the cutscene hit left broadside & open fire & up arrow to sail forward (no full sail) & Take Cover, move around a bit while broadsiding # until Goliath sinks (but Goliath usually sinks the moment I hit Take Cover anyways) Goliath sinks pretty fast if u got good fury shooters or max thunder, for this method.
If you got just an average crew or just a bit too nervous to sit & fight Goliath next to you, hit left broadside, full sail to get ahead, open fire...blah blah, Goliath should sink by now or turn your ship & broadside # of times until it sinks.

It's easy, people who have seen me sail, try to do it themselves & they win in the yellow zone with around 60% ship damage.

yes but now if u bring 12 its pretty much impossible to beat i think the amount of people doing boss should be 1-3 because last bridge has explosive if u have 12 people and full health ( not likely ) u will die in 1 hit

Well obviously our experiences differ.

I have found that MORE pirates makes it easier, that last several battles I participated we had several high level pirates... mostly all over level 30, including a few level 40's. The frigates go down in a few seconds with 4-5 people with high level cannons on each side.

It depends on how the one at the helm approachs the battle, and who you crew...

And yes, Take Cover DOES work.

I think it's important how experienced the people are on the cannons, but the deal breaker is the person sailing the ship. Slow and steady seems to win in the end. A good captain that knows how to position the ship and avoid fire and knows to stay put until all bridges are down before barreling through, seems to be the key in all successful battles I've been in.

Also, take cover has been a life saver for many of the captains too.
