Strongly recommend the long guns, much better damage per shot and the ability to snipe out those weak points. If I didn't have long guns on every side I'd be doomed in this fight. I like the weak point mechanics for stuff like this, especially with the surprise immunity.

I also saw that your help didn’t come in until much later whereas we were beating on this thing at full tilt right at the jump, not to mention my game was bugging that I couldn’t see the ghost ships health bar so I had to keep asking my buddy “where we’re at” with regards to the boss’ HP bar 😂

Great game right? Anyway, u can just tap on keyboard 4 to heal and 2 to feed your crew instead of using the wheel. Remember to press spacebar to brace when about to get hit. It acts like an extra shield against damage.

Whoa, it's like the Flying Dutchman and Queen Anne's Revenge had a baby ! good fight there, been trying this game for a day now, and few things I want to comment on here, first is the boarding phase, which is kinda like no feeling at all, you can't control your crew when boarding, and there no sword fight, etc, can't walk around your ship. second, the main character can't even speak and sprint or jump (wish Ubisoft would implement that in the next update or so), and the lips are somewhat not sync with the speech. thirdly, hope they introduce more ship types like frigates, brigs, Indiaman, galleons, and man of war kinda ships. and perhaps can keep the ships that u successfully boarded without the need to build one. It was the same as Voyage Century Online, except that game was kinda dead now.
