Everything You Need To Know About The Pirate Cove

This guide will be about the fourth level introduced to Paint The Town Red, which is the Pirate Cove.
This level is the second level to be added after the base game, and while not having as many unique mechanics, its setting is interesting.

It has 66 enemies in the level.

The Main Parts

This level has one or two new goodies, but mostly, there are some recurring elements.

Day N' Nite

A completely new feature with this level is the ability to play it in either day or night on the level select screen.





Making it either look like this...



Or this...



Not a big feature, but worth mentioning.

New Gun

On this map there's also a flintlock pistol you can find.
Go to the boat right of your spawn and find this dagger in the rope.



Take it and it will sling you up on to the rope between the two sails.
Walk to the other end and you will see the pistol.



Like the shotgun, it cannot be reloaded, and as such only has one round, but it will pretty much instantly kill any enemy if used right.

The Secret Cutlasses

There are also two hidden cutlasses in the level, behind some rocks. This will show you where to find them.
The first is in front of the ship.



Simply arrive here and jump rock to rock, and you should reach this.



Strangely, in the Beneath update, a symbol was hidden in a bunch of places around each of the levels. This one in particular having a new enemy from said mode etching it into the wall. Also strangely, this enemy doesn't count towards the total amount, making it still 66.



The second is on the beach. If you look, you should see a formation.



This one is slightly trickier. Jump up the rocks and then jump around, onto a ledge. You should see this wedged in a gap.



In this area, you can also find a second flintlock pistol.



To get it, pick up the paddle to the left of the cutlass, and it will be behind it.

Blackbeard

At the top of the bar, sits this dude. He will sit at his table and if disturbed, will pick up his sword and attack you, along with his bodyguards. The cutlass will do massive damage, and he is aggressive by default, so be careful.
Like all bosses, he will not engage in the riot until few enemies remain, at which point him and his men will seek you out.



Unlike the biker boss, his weapon cannot be taken from him before he picks it up.
He has a total of 6 bodyguards, who are all slightly tougher than average
(1.5x Health/1.2x Attack speed and damage),
while Blackbeard himself has 4.5x Health/1.7x Attack speed/1.5x Attack damage.



These can prove problematic in their own way, as they are also slightly tougher than the average enemy.

Cannons

On this level, are a new form of environmental weapon, which is the cannons.
There are two on the level. One behind your spawn, as shown here, pointing at a pirate on the pier.



And the other just in front, pointing at two in front of the door.

Duelling

To the far right of the beach, you will see two blue coats preparing for a duel. There are three of them on the map, with another being on the ship. Like the bodyguards of the pirate, they are also slightly tougher than the average enemy (2.5x Health/1.2 Attack speed/1.5 Attack damage), and all of them carry the powerful cutlass. Like most special areas, they will also not engage in the riot once it's started, unless you started it by walking near them. Like most as well, they will attack once the enemy count gets low enough.

(Note: Walking into this area before starting the riot will start it.)

The Secret/Not So Secret Weapons

There are quite a few to cover in this section, as like Prison Riot, most of the weapons come from enemies that are already carrying them.
We'll start with the stationary weapons first.

A knife on the table (On the table directly left to your spawn)

A knife on the table at the back, right of the bar

A knife in a room on the second floor

(This one, to be precise.)

The knife in the rope used to get the flintlock, ofc

And a harpoon behind it

A knife behind the crates under the canopy on the beach

A harpoon hung up in the bar near one of the doors

A harpoon on the rocks behind the bar

A harpoon on the middle pier, to the left of your spawn

Another harpoon on the rocks

And another laying next to the canopy on the pier

A cleaver on the shelf in the storeroom

Along with a shovel to the right of it

Another shovel to the left of the duelling platform

And one more behind the barrels on the beach

And for weapons that are actually on enemies...

A knife on the man threatening the other on the second floor

A cleaver on the man in the storeroom behind the bar

A knife on the man near the table to the right of the bar

A man with a knife, on the table right of the bar

A man with a knife just to the left of your spawn

A bluecoat with a cutlass on the ship

Four men with knives on the duelling platform (along with the bluecoats with cutlasses)

A cutlass on the boss' table

The Closing Notes

This has been the last level for a good while. If any new maps get added, I'll cover them, though.

night vs daytime

[Brick Witti]

it is also the only map that you are outside in.

[break243]

this is good

[N13]

How many people tried collecting all the weapons they could on a map without starting a riot?

[error1001]

Appears that there's a new enemy added in 0.10.5 who's playing the accordian, possibly to connect with the tone in pre-combat.

[um gweh]

HECK YEAH SALOON GUIDE!!!!!!!!!!

@Passos
Take your time. We'll be patient. Glad you are making these still. They are spectacular.
Can I add that in the other scenarios there are Beneath symbols hidden?

[Passos]

yeah I'm getting around to it. It's just a bit of a shock. I made this guide almost four years ago and I kinda gave up the notion that any more maps would be made. Just been getting back into it and I'm gonna get started on it.

[JustAGamerPerson]

Hey, Passos. I wonder if you could make a guide on the new Saloon? I know you couldn't have the newspaper menu, but it would be cool.

[IISavage]

its weird to think that this level was added almost 4 years ago, and we havent got another scenario since then
