During the game you’ll play as Captain Jack Sparrow, Will Turner, Elizabeth Swann, and even the legendary Captain Barbossa.
Once you’ve played through certain levels, these and other characters will be unlocked and usable for replaying through completed Story Mode stages.
GETTING AROUND
Running
Move your character using the analog stick.
Climbing
Anything you can climb will be highlighted by a glowing circle. When standing near the object press the
button to start the climb and use the analog stick to climb up or down. You will automatically get off when you get to the top or bottom.
A glowing circle or exclamation point will appear above important objects and people that you can interact with. Move close and press the button to interact. This includes flipping switches, climbing, or swinging from ropes and using ladders.
SWORDFIGHTING
(A.K.A. SWASHBUCKLING)
As this is a game about pirates, it’s fair to say there’s plenty of fighting. But pirates don’t just swordfight, they swashbuckle. Learn to use the environment to your advantage if you want to even up the odds a bit. See advanced swashbuckling below.
When you get into a fight, which will be often, you’ll stay locked on to an enemy. If you’re fighting more than one opponent, simply flick the analog stick towards a different opponent to start fighting them instead. It’s a good idea not to focus on one opponent too much, as you don’t want to give the others a chance to stick a sword in your back.

Gold
Light Attack
Pressing the button initiates a light/fast attack. It’s not that powerful, but allows you to get lots of hits in very quickly.
Heavy Attack
Pressing the button, initiates a heavy/slow attack. This attack has a longer build up that can leave you open to attack yourself. However, if you manage to time your attack correctly, you will inflict a lot of damage.
