The Big Break Guide


Talk to the shipbuilder

The Big Break

The shipbuilder is in the northeastern part of Sami, close to the shore, because, y’know…he’s building ships.

Asking the price for the ship is a bit of a joke, as there’s no way you’d be able to pay for one with what little funds you’ve accumulated so far. Instead, he tells you where the Cyclops is located and the fact that he has a ship you can just take once he’s out of the picture.

Deal with the Cyclops to get a ship

The Cyclops is a bit further down the map, basically the southeastern tip.

If you’re following the main path straight toward the destination, you’ll come across a place between two cliffs that have a small camp of enemies to take out. If it’s night you’ll obviously see the fire, but if you’re traveling by day, there are piles of bones and poles set up to ward people off to take notice of.

In the main area of Kleptous Bay, you’ll find that there are a good amount of enemies spaced out.

If you approach the Cyclops, a cutscene will initiate once you’re close enough to him. Any enemies nearby him will join him in combat once you’re out of the cutscene. It’ll still probably be a lot of enemies, with only the few that’s far away not joining to help. One thing to watch out for are any archers, and if you haven’t defeated Talos yet, and he joins in…well, I’ll pray for you.

Free the ship captain

The Big Break

I think this guy has suffered enough with all of that head-dunking and no apples to come up with, yea? Untie him and follow him out of the air to talk about how he owes you and the use of the ship.

Talk to Barnabas in Sami Harbor

Dude knows how to teleport, doesn’t he?

Head back to Sami and have a chat with Barnabas at the ship. Get ready to set sail–but not without a flashback.
