1. Talk to Bill Teach and tell him you want to be a pirate. After talking to him go east and meet him on his ship. A cut scene follows.

   

2. After the cut scene, search the repair locker and take 2 ropes then search the gun locker and take a fuse. Now run south and pick up the tinderbox then climb up the ladder onto the deck.

3. Climb up the climbing net and use a rope with the hoisted sail above you (on your side). You will swing across to the other boat.

4. Use the fuse on the powder barrel next to the cannon and light it with your tinderbox. Climb the climbing net and swing back across to Bill Teach's boat using your second rope. Talk to Bill again.

5. Go down the ships ladder and take a hammer, tacks, planks and swamp paste from the repair locker. Next "fill" and "waterproof" the 3 holes in the ships hull. Take 2 more ropes from the repair locker and go talk to Bill on deck.

6. Swing back over to the enemy boat once more, go down the ladder and plunder the containers at the north end until you have 10 plunder (takes a couple of minutes to respawn).

7. Swing back to Bill's ship and stash the plunder in the chest in the hold. Talk to Bill again.

8. Take a cannon barrel from the gun locker then go back on deck. Remove the broken barrel and then put the new one in place. Talk to Bill again.

9. Go into the ships hold and take a fuse, ramrod and cannon canister from the gun locker. Go back on deck and take some powder from the powder barrel next to the gun.

10.

a) Use the power with the cannon
b) Use the ramrod with the cannon
c) Use the cannister with the cannon
d) Use a fuse with the cannon
e) "fire" the cannon (when there are pirates directly opposite)
f) Use the ramrod with the cannon
g) "empty out" the cannon

If you miss the pirates then just repeat these steps again.

11. Talk to Bill again You must now fire cannon balls instead of cannisters. Go and get 3 cannon balls and 3 fuses from the gun locker. Go back on deck and take 3 lots of gunpowder. Now repeat step 10 but this time use a cannon ball instead of a canister. Do this 3 times to sink the enemy ship.

12. Bill talks to you once more. A cut scene follows and it's quest complete!
