Every pirate's favorite weapon –– a heavy, curved blade perfect for slashing and parrying. Will Turner introduces you to the basic skills of Hack , Slash , and Sweep –– but it's up to you to practice and learn new skills. Get as much practice with your Cutlass as possible and learn to put your skills together in powerful Combos. File:GameTip.png Game Tip: Enemies, especially Skeletons, Navy guards, and EITC Black Guards, move around a lot during a fight. If you're using Cutlass, stay close to your target so that your attacks will hit home.
