Keep going upwards. The pilot house is at the bow. There is a Steering Device inside that controls the ship. Destroy it and the ship will lie dead in the water!
The pilot house is guarded by the First Mate, the second strongest pirate on the ship. A fight will be unavoidable, so be prepared.
Charge in when you are ready! says Dingy Larry, looking towards the bow.
You want to know how good the First Mate is? To be honest with you, I don't know. All I know is that he has been with the captain a long time. They apparently grew up together.
He has been challenged before but the challenger didn't even last three minutes. Nobody has really given him a run for his money yet. So, give it your best shot.
Don't take too much time breaking the Steering Device. If the First Mate realizes your intentions, he will summon reinforcements and we'll be good as dead. says Dingy Larry carefully.
