Journal Entry
Captain of the Black Pearl and leader of the undead pirates.
The medallions' curse keeps Captain Barbossa and his men in a kind of limbo between life and death. Their true form is revealed in moonlight, and it's a terrifying sight to see.
These days, Captain Barbossa has joined up with Pete in a search for... something.
Appearance
Strategy
The game will end immediately if Jack perishes, which is why it is imperative that you activate his abilities- No mercy, Rain storm, Bone smash and the limit Treasure isle before the battle begins.
Barbossa is assisted by a special heartless called the Illuminator. It creates darkness in the room, and must be eliminated first so you can damage the cursed Barbossa. Look out for a pair of glowing eyes in the gloom, then run towards them and finish the heartless off. Now turn your attention to Barbossa . After a while a new Illuminator will appear and, once again, you must dispatch it before you can continue with the main fight.
As with the other cursed pirates , Barbossa can only be defeated in the moonlight, and can also be frozen for a few moments using Blizzard. The best strategy is to freeze him- if this doesn’t work, it could be because he is standing in the shadow- then use one of two combos to attack him. Take a few steps back, as soon as he thaws, refreeze him immediately. Repeat this strategy until Sora’s Mp is depleted, by which time another Illuminator is bound to have appeared.
After this activate the Wisdom Form. It may be less powerful than the Valor Form, but it enables you to attack from a distance and to quickly dodge your opponent’s attacks. As activating the Drive Form restores Sora’s HP and MP, you can start using Blizzard again afterwards.
Make no mistake, Barbossa can be extremely dangerous. If you get too near he’ll decimate you with a sword combo, so close quarters combat is not particularly good idea. At medium range he’ll throw a few bombs on the ground ; at longer range he’ll often shoot his pistol , which is relatively harmless. He may also dash towards you and lash out with his sword, which is anything but harmless. Ideally, don’t give him the slightest opportunity to deploy these dangerous moves. After the victory you will receive the Follow the Wind keyblade.
