Continue along the stretch of land you are on as this is a linear route. There are more pirates to fight along the way, but they are all much smaller. Also use explosive barrels and chests. When you reach the river, climb to the other side and jump over the broken bridge. Also, head to the next bridge, fighting the pirates, then go through the hole and enter the cannon. Hit it to eliminate the pirates and then jump on top of each other.

This will take you to the pirate barracks where you will fight a bunch of dinosaurs. Just kidding, you'll be fighting pirates. There are many of them. AoE weapons and heavy weapons should be used here. After clearing the barracks, leave and you can go up the ramp to reach Pierre Le Fer. But before that happens, head to the beachPocket size.

They will continue to arrive in ships outside so watch out for that and prioritize guns in the area. None last long, but there are a lot of them, so be careful. After dealing with them all, use the key near the bell. This closes the hole in the center of the arena so you can take down Pierre in the cutscene.

Then the paths outside the main area will open up and you will have two options:Go to Skull MountainLubTreasure hunt.

Jump on the boat and fight the pirates. Use the elevator and jump to the next boat to do the same. In both cases, they are regular enemies-pirates. Go to the pirate bar where you will fight more pirates.

There are no boss fights here, but there are plenty of waves, so change your weapon to less ammo and stay in the fight. After defeating him, stand on the round platform at the back of the room and climb up. There is the last group of pirates to defeat here, so you can open the chest in the back. This will reveal the location of every collectible in the game. Teleport back to where you just saved Pierre Le Fer.

Go to Skull Mountain

Head to the lower island and fight the few enemies here. It seems like the game wants you to jump on a boat here, but you can actually grab and swing a little ball over it. Pick it up and you can ride the Speetle in the water. There are ramps that work as a way to guide you. After a few ramps you will reach a larger land area and you can jump off and continue on foot.

Climb and fight some enemies before heading to Skull Mountain, which turns out to be an amusement park.

Survive pirate trails

In the park, you'll find the pirate evidence you need to survive before meeting Captain Quantum. The first attempt was karaoke and this time I'm not kidding. You have to shoot the pirate droids to make them sing like Simon says. The order of three is below, with 1 on the left and 5 on the right.

• First challenge: 2, 1.
• Second challenge: 5, 1, 2, 3.
• Third challenge: 4, 1, 2, 5, 3.

Thus, the first attempt is completed. The second attempt is to fight Grunthor, but he is already dead. Not like in, it's also Undead Grunthor - it's just dead. However, in order to proceed further, you must solve the glitch puzzle.

Pirate Trials - a glitch puzzle

After controlling Glitch, take it out of the tube and shoot at the first virus nest. No shield, so it dies easily. Go down the small tunnel by shooting at the pink barriers. Keep going down and grab the power-up before turning right to step on the switch on the small podium and clear the virus nest there before moving forward and hitting the virus nest on the ceiling. Go through it and step on the switch on the right, then turn around and take it out.

Then, going right, climb the switch on the green platform and take out two more; one that drops a shield and one that never had one. Then go through the green tunnel to the next area.

There are two nests here; one on the ceiling with a switch on the floor and one on the floor with a switch on the ceiling. Opposite the green tunnel is a yellow wall that you can climb to get to the next area. Here on the ceiling there is a virus with a switch on a nearby podium followed by an unguarded virus. Take them both out and you'll only have one slot left. The transition to this one is just around the corner and the virus itself is on a lower level, but you can kill it from here.

Completing this puzzle will reward you with one of themArdolis gold screws.

After solving the puzzle, go through the door and you will find yourself on a ship spinning in circles. Eventually, three more ships will appear and you'll have to jump from ship to ship, fighting the pirates that appear. Once you do that, an island will rise in the middle and you'll fight Crabcakes McGee - keep him in place with the Topiary Sprinkler and use heavy weapons. It fires a lot of projectiles and bounces a lot, but is a glass cannon compared to other big enemies.

Meeting Captain Quantum

You will then find Quantum, which turns out to be a Quark of this dimension. Due to a misunderstanding, you will have to fight your own people to defend it. In the first stage of the fight, they are ordinary enemies, so keep using explosive barrels and ranged weapons. Once this wave is over, press the "launch ship" button to start the next phase.

In this phase you will face Tide Twins who will use bombs and try to jump on you. Topiary Sprinker or Glove of Doom can be effective at trapping them, but otherwise use heavy weapons. After defeating them, use the crank at the front of the ship. This will raise the bell, so press it and summon Bubbles to start the cutscene.

All we have left to do is find the last onegold screwis atSpybot. The Gold Bolt is located here on the map, in the water, between two piles of exploding barrels. You need to build Speetle around it.

The Spybot can be found on the northern tip of the northeastern island - you won't be visiting it in this story, so you'll need to specifically hunt it down.
