[h3]Think you can just waltz into The Locker and face down a pirate hell without a little help? Think again, matey. But don't you worry your headless body, your ever-so-helpful skull—and your friendly neighborhood Development Team — have put together a FAQ to get you started on your epic journey of revenge. [/h3][p][/p][h2]Let's make some legend. Shall we?

[/h2][p][/p][h2]How Can I use other skills? How to buy them?[/h2][p][/p][p]The first skill you can learn is ROAR - R - use on groups of enemies or at close combat situations. It’s also the best way to increase your early damage output. Don’t save jewels for later skills as the game allows you to obtain enough of them later.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][p]
[/p][h2]Is there any other way to not get hit, other than parry?[/h2][p][/p][p]Yes, that is - it's DASH - Shift - at just the right moment should keep you from harm and dodge enemy attacks, provided your timing is on point. It’s also the best way to enhance your traversal. Later you can mix it with a double-jump skill to dash mid-air.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][p]
[/p][h2]How can i prevent the fall damage - I'm dying every time I try to jump off from ledge. [/h2][p][/p][p]Use STOMP - Ctrl - when jumping down from a high ground or initiating fights with groups of enemies. By using Stomp you avoid taking fall damage and also it’s badass to land in the middle of enemies like they’re nothing. It deals slight damage and knocks back enemies.[/p][p]
[/p][p][/p][p]
[/p][hr][/hr][p]
[/p][h2]How can I fight those elite Pirates easily?  [/h2][p][/p][p]Use SHOCKWAVE - Hold LMB or CANNONBALL - Hold RMB - to stagger enemies in front of you. Both keep you at a safe distance while dealing area damage. Once an enemy is staggered use your HOOK.[/p][p]
[/p][hr][/hr][p][/p][p][/p][h2]Is the Hook only for traversal? [/h2][p][/p][p]HOOK - E - use once the enemy is staggered to get instantaneously in front of them and make some cuts. It’s also the best way to travel fast, get distance during a fight or get out from danger with moonlinks.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][p]
[/p][h2]How can I heal myself during the battle - I die a lot because of lack of health. [/h2][p][/p][p]In most encounters there is LIFE ESSENCE scattered around. Some are growing on the essence plants or moving around in air as essence flies. Enemies also drop them after using EXECUTIONS. Be warned, if you won’t consume them there’s a chance for them to merge into FUSION CHEST. Use Davy Action on them - E - while your HP starts dropping to save yourself from dying… AGAIN.[/p][p]
[/p][p][/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][p]
[/p][h2]What are those shark-chest things? [/h2][p][/p][p]Once you land a finishing blow on an enemy, they will spawn a life essence. If those essences are close enough there’s a chance they will merge into a FUSION CHEST.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Those chests are not a threat itself and you can still dig up treasure chests buried around.
Yet, If you decide to open a FUSION CHEST and attack, prepare for battle! [/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][p][/p][p][/p][h2]Sometimes I see a blue marker on the enemies - what is that? [/h2][p][/p][p]Once you land some hits on the enemy you will see a blue marker on them informing that they’re ready to be executed. Use EXECUTION - F - to seal their fate. Executions are fast and effective, when dealing with many enemies or bosses go for the weak ones first - executing them allows you to heal and stay alive longer.[/p][p]
[/p][p][/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][p]
[/p][h2]Can I move from Island to Island freely? [/h2][p][/p][p]Go to the command room on your ship and use the table to travel the Locker. Browse your collection of ships in the bottle.
[/p][p][/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][p]
[/p][h2]Where can I check if I explored the entirety of the Island?
[/h2][p]Use the Map - M and Compass, switch between the main quest and side quests in your Journal - J. Explore deadly Crypts, Singroves and other points of interest to get the full experience of the pirate's underworld.
[/p][p][/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][p]
[/p][h2]What is Singrove, and how can I use the Stars I've collected on an Island? [/h2][p][/p][p]Collect 6 stars from ghosts at guillotines spread across the islands of Limbo and Crossbones. Once you have 6 of them travel to the closest Singrove and put them in the coffin. Each island’s completed collection will increase your HP by 25 points.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][p]
[/p][h2]How can I Save the Game? [/h2][p][/p][p]There is an auto-save system to keep your progress in crucial moments. Once you get close to the altar a save icon - the FLIPPING COIN will appear in the left down part of your screen.[/p][p]
[/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][h3]
Wanna Join our Crew?[/h3][p][/p][p]Think you've got a killer idea for an execution? Found a bug that’s more twisted than a Kraken's tentacles? Or maybe you just want to shout about that epic moment where you sent some fiends packing? We're all ears, you mad lads and lasses!
[/p][p] [/p][p]Don't just stand there, rotting in The Locker! Our Discord is the ultimate pirate hangout, where we're constantly lurking, listening, and ready to lend a hand.

Hope this one will help you out on your journeys,
