Getting Started
Set up your PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system according to the instructions supplied with your system. Check that the system is turned on (the on/standby indicator is green). Insert the Disney Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End disc in the system with the label side facing up. Attach game controllers and other peripherals as appropriate. Follow the on-screen instructions and refer to this manual for information on using the software. Memory Card (8MB)(for PlayStation®2)
To save game settings and progress, insert a memory card (8MB)(for PlayStation®2) into MEMORY CARD slot 1 of your PlayStation®2 system. You can load saved game data from the same memory card or any memory card (8MB) (for PlayStation®2) containing previously saved games.
DUALSHOCK®2 Analog Controller
This game supports the analog mode and the vibration features of the DUALSHOCK®2 analog controller. To use the vibration feature, turn on VIBRATION under OPTIONS.
Sub-Missions
These vary from finding a specific quantity of Crab Pendants, demonstrating your swashbuckling skill or getting slapped by a number of spurned lovers! Completing these missions will open up more rewards in your 'Treasure Cove'.
Look for characters with Quest Points (!) over their heads. Move close then press the button to speak to them. You can choose whether or not to offer them your help.
Jackanism
Occasionally, when playing as Jack, you'll be given the opportunity to help him react to a situation in his own eccentric way by performing a 'Jackanism'. Performing for the crowds will give him even more fame and notoriety, as well as a tactical advantage in the approaching fight. You also unlock a special item from the Treasure Cove.
You use similar sequences of button presses and analog stick movements as when you're Fighting With an Ally. Follow the on-screen prompts as fast as you can as timing is important. Be careful though as you only have one attempt. Failing a 'Jackanism' will leave you in a worse situation than before, maybe facing even more opponents.
Notoriety
To become the most notorious pirate that ever lived, Jack will have to strike fear and admiration into the hearts of his enemies and the general populace of the Caribbean. You can earn Notoriety in a number of ways: Defeating enemies, varying your swordfighting tactics, triggering certain events, completing sub-missions, and performing a 'Jackanism'.
Types of Notoriety
There are 3 types of Notoriety:
•
Overall Notoriety: This always increases and is an indication of how well you are doing.
•
Level Notoriety: This is an indication of how well you are doing on a level and is reset every time you replay a level.
•
Combat Notoriety: This is an indication of how well you are doing in combat.
Notoriety Ranks
There are 10 Notoriety Ranks:
You can check your Notoriety level at the end of each stage in Story Mode or on the Inventory screen. It also is displayed briefly on screen every time it increases.
Mini-Games
There are two mini-games to play: Pirate Dice and Poker. During Story Mode, look out for characters with Quest Points (!) above their heads. Some of them will offer or challenge you to play. You can accept or decline the invitation but remember: you may be required to play in order to complete a Sub-Mission or unlock an item from the Treasure Cove.
Pirate Dice
Pirate Dice is a unique version of Bluff: Each player takes turns to guess the total number of dice rolled on the gaming table showing the same face numbers.
How to Play Pirate Dice
•
The player selected to start must now bid as to the number of dice under all cups showing a particular face number, for example five dice showing the number '3'.
•
The next player now has three options:
•
I. Bid a number that is higher than the previous player; or:
•
II. Bid the same number of dice, but a higher value on the face of the dice. For example: if the previous player bid 5 dice showing the number 3 on the face, you can bid 6 or more dice showing the number 3 on the face, or 5 dice showing the number 4 or higher on the face.
•
I. If you do not agree with the previous bid you can call the player who made that bid a liar. If you call the previous player a liar and you're wrong, you will lose some of your loot. If you call the previous player a liar and you are correct, the previous player will lose some loot.
•
I. If you believe that the previous bid was correct then you can agree with their bid. If you are incorrect then you lose some of your loot. If you are correct then the previous player will lose some loot.
•
When you lose all of your loot you're out of the game. This applies to any of the players.
•
The winner is the player with the most loot after 10 rounds.
