How to unlock the Pirate's Life for Me achievement in Kinect Disneyland Adventures - Definitive Guide

The achievement description has changed recently. It previously read "Win the swordfights in Peter Pan's Flight and Pirates of the Caribbean without being hit."

You need to complete two specific chapters (Swordfight with Hook on Peter Pan's Flight, Pirate Ship on Pirates of the Caribbean) without getting hit by cannons, pirates, Captain Hook and Blackbeard. This solution is for the Xbox One controller. I would imagine using Kinect will pose a greater challenge. I didn't do this in one sitting but it is recommended if you do Pirate Ship first (this chapter doesn't have a secret for doing it flawlessly, so may not log this progress after quitting; apparently one sitting was required on Xbox 360).

You can attack by using cn_LS in different directions and cn_X. There are prompts to either jump with cn_A or duck by holding cn_B. Not doing the correct action will result in a hit. I gave it a little bit of a delay before jumping as sometimes I got hit. Ducking can be done as soon as you see the prompt for it (holding the button down).


Peter Pan's Flight: Swordfight with Hook
Note: If you already have the secret, it means you have done this chapter without getting hit. You can move on to the other chapter. I had done this in another session and the achievement for the next chapter unlocked fine. However, if it hasn't unlocked by then, some of you say it unlocks after replaying this chapter, even though the secret was recorded.

This is chapter 4 on the Peter Pan's Flight attraction. You need fight Captain Hook for a few rounds without getting hit. If you don't have the only secret by the end, then you got hit.


Pirates of the Caribbean: Pirate Ship
This is chapter 3 on the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction. Similar to Swordfight with Hook but a little more difficult as you have many pirates to get through before fighting Blackbeard. I found slightly delaying my jumps more significant on this chapter. Ducking will need to be done more on the mast section with the cannons coming at you. The secret on this chapter is for defeating 12 pirates.

Not sure why, but I unlocked the achievement after definitely taking some hits, even hits by Blackbeard himself. I was focusing on killing the 12 pirates (which I succeeded in doing), and so I didn't worry too much about dodging. I took at least one hit from a pirate, one cannonball, and even missed one of the vertical swings Blackbeard does that requires you to jump (if you succeed it sticks in the floor). Popped immediately after the ending cutscene started. This was my second run-through of this level (the first run I got hit as well). I had previously passed the Peter Pan level without taking any hits. Maybe there's a glitch with the trigger to where if you collect the secret in the level while already having the secret from the Pan level it unlocks? Maybe the vertical swing doesn't count since even if you miss the prompt he technically doesn't make contact with you? Also it's quite possible that since they changed the description, they also changed the requirements so all you have to do is complete the fight.

If you for some reason don't get this to unlock try the Hook fight again even if you have the secret. That's what I had to do to get it to unlock.

Not for me. I just had to not get hit by the cannonballs immediately preceding the Blackbeard fight (I had already gotten that chapter's secret, but I think I had gotten hit once by a cannonball preventing me from the achievement).

The achievement description says only to beat Captain Hook and Blackbeard.
Why does the guide say "without getting hit"?
I have easily fought these 2 characters and have all Mickey secrets for each area. No achievement.
I suppose I'll try the Hook fight again and see.

You can get hit by the cannonballs on the Pirates level and still get the achievements. I mistimed the ducking twice and still got the achievement.

There’s definitely something up with these battles. It will award you the secret on peter pans flight prematurely even if you get hit according to my game. Just watch and listen carefully. If you get the ‘negative’ noise for any reason, restart.

Ok, anyone unlocked this recently? I’ve just beaten both levels in the same session, didn’t get hit, no achievement :/

Any ideas?

EDIT: It popped a little later that day. My game had been doing strange things anyway like showing me a counter for 2 hidden micky’s I already had......

muting speech and music but keeping on effects makes it easier to hear when you get hit

For the Blackbeard fight, what helped me was waiting until the opponent had completely wound up and was holding his attack pose before jumping. When I'd try jumping as soon as the prompt appeared, he wouldn't be done with his wind-up and couldn't swing yet, so then I'd land and he'd hit me.

I did the no-hit for Captain Hook's Fight another day and did the no-hit Pirates of The Caribbean Fight today. Achievement didn't popped after 2 times doing it. Then, i tried to do the no-hit Captain Hook's fight again to see what happens and tadaaaa, cheevo popped. Probably it is a save game bug or something.

I would also like to add some warning if you are planning on not killing the pirates:

there is a current glitch where when it says “duck” or “jump” right before or as the pirate is leaving, it counts as a hit. My advice would still to kill the pirates for practice, to keep an eye on the coins as stated earlier (if it drops below to 50 then you have been hit) and to delay the button pressing a little bit.

Even though the description changed, the requirements remain the same. I got the achievement the third time I beat Blackbeard, as I didn't get "hit" at all on that attempt. Thanks for the tip to play jumps too, it helped tremendously.

This achievement is both easier than it appears and yet harder. The description fails to mention that you must do both fights flawless. On top of that, on the pirates level you must also fight every pirate leading to the black beard fight flawless.

You can do both in the fast pass menu. Your total score won't make a difference, but keep an occasional look at it as you go. If your score ends in 50, you were hit and need to start over.

Everytime you are about to be hit, the words duck or jump will appear, as long as you don't panic you'll do fine.

The specific levels you must do this on are the final peter pan level and the 3rd pirates level.

Don't be discouraged as this took me about 3 hours straight to get done correctly.

NickHawkeye said this:
It is listed in there "The specific levels you must do this on are the final peter pan level and the 3rd pirates level. " but if you are looking for the "number" or "specific chapter"

~ Peter Pan's Flight ~
Chapter 4: Sword fight with Hook

~ Pirates of the Caribbean ~
Chapter 3. Pirate Ship

Johnny Sinister added-
"Also, a tip for those having trouble with the jumps. Apparently, if you try jumping like a normal person (bend legs, then spring up), the game may register your knee bends as a duck, and cause you to miss the jump. I had this issue constantly until I trained myself to jump while keeping my body perfectly straight. It was extremely awkward and uncomfortable, but did the trick. Might have just been a sensor issue, but still."
Thanks for the specifics and other suggestions. I hope this helps.

As many have attested, you must get this in one sitting. I had before on my first "real" try for it so I didn't think about that being a factor. Thanks to those that have giving this tip

If you just look at where the words 'DUCK' and 'JUMP' are, it makes this achievement really easy.

No problem, Also i will confirm this next time I play but I think you must also defeat all the pirates on the pirate ship level as i did Hooks fight perfect and did not get touched by any of the Caribbean pirates but I let one or two get away before reaching Blackbeard and did not get the achievement.

This is one of the glitchiest things I've ever fucking seen... Half the time when they block high and I swipe low (if it even registers me doing that, which it doesn't most of the time), they still block it, and vice versa. So now I've taken to just wailing on each pirate and hoping to get lucky. Thing is, if you take too long during any one bunch of pirates, the last pirate will run away almost instantly since I guess the cutscenes are on a set timer or something. Absolute bullshit.

You don't have to kill every pirate, you just have to not be hit. Each section they just keep coming until time runs out for the section and if you are in the middle of a fight the pirate will just leave. Hope this clears things up. For me to get it register my movements I had to play further away.

OKAY, finally got it after working out just how the kinect wants you to swing for it to register. I didn't get the achievement until I went back and redid the Hook fight though. That was probably because I aced that fight the first time, and then took a hit when I did it again during one of Pan's quests, so I guess it only counts your last attempt at the level. Good to know, I suppose.

I think the two fights must be done in one game session or perhaps even one after the other. As far as I can tell, this is how I got it (and didn't get it):
1. Beat Hook with no hits, then quit after returning to the park. (No quits after this step.)
2. Failed Pirates once, then no hits the second try. No achievement.
3. Defeated 12+ pirates, but got hit. Tried a couple more times with hits.
4. Beat Pirates with no hits and 0 pirates killed. No achievement.
5. Beat Hook with no hits. Achievement popped.

Also, for the Pirates, I hit the first pirate once and got 300 coins so I could watch my score. I hit no other pirates. At the end of Blackbeard, I had exactly 6300. This might be a way to check whether you got hit or not, along with the good advice above to watch out for scores ending in 50.

Confirmed that the two fights have to be done (at least) in the same session. Same as MathGuy42 stated, got the Hook fight earlier, since I got the Mickey pin for it, but had to redo the fight after clearing the Pirates of the Caribbean fight. Good idea to watch your coins, as taking a hit (if you don't hear the descending tone when you get hit) will reduce your score by 50.

Another confirmation that the two fights (Blackbeard and Hook) have to be done in the same playthrough. I, also, had to redo my perfect Hook fight. You don't have to beat all of the pirates leading up to Blackbeard, though - just don't get hit by them. It's fine if they run away. Ducking is easy. As suggested, jump completely straight. Don't hunch over or pull your knees up. After beating the pirates and Blackbeard, then beating Hook and watching the cut scene, the achievement popped.

I just poped this the other day, i can confirm does not have to be in the same sitting, i Did captain Hook a few months ago and my first run though of Pirates I got this achievement.

I also had 1 pirate run away and got hit by the cannon blasts while on the top of the mast

I have done them both without gettting hit by any cannons or anything and still no achievement. However i did level 4 after level 3 of caribbean so maybe that made me not getting the achievement. So pissed!

Poor game!

Just did the caribbean level 3 again without getting hit. I defeated one pirate and had 300 points and just decided to avoid them for the rest of the level and defeated the boss whatever his name is and no hit and no achievement and this straight after peter pan shit.

I should maybe make another extra solution but if someone reads this for sure this will help.

When i did peter pans level vs hook i got damaged the first two times i thought I had doen it. Like the guide says watch out if it ends with 50 (uneven score as you have been hit)

At that time i did not pay attention to that and at the third stage of this fight when you are on top of the ship it can look like you done the jump right but you been hit. If your guy lift his both feet up when you jump then you done it correctly.

It is very hard to make a correct jump vs hook compared to the level when you fight the pirates.

Your guy seem to duck at first so then he wont jump in time. This even if you are not ducking. You can try to jump without trying to beat the level to practice jumping.

What I did was i hit with my right arm up and down all the time because this is easy to hit hook. But after a few hits i just stoped and stood still and waited for either duck or jump.

Because if you dont do any attack when it says jump then the jump will not be difficult.

So just be patient.

At the third stage of this level i had to duck one time and jump 4 or 5 times because i wanted to be sure to succeed. So i did not hit him when i could.

I did not have to do them in the same session. Just popped the game in today for the first time in a month. Defeated hook perfectly and the achievement popped. So, the game must have remembered that I previously did the Caribbean one.

I definitely popped the achievement without doing them both in a single sitting. I last fought Hook a week or two ago, but did the Pirates one last night, and the achievement popped without me having to go back and fight Hook again. I have turned off my Xbox several times in between, so it’s not the same sitting. Maybe it was fixed in an update? I’m on the 360 version.

+1 on trying to jump without bending, I had to start doing this to avoid getting hit.

This achievement description was changed recently which you shouldn't take damage in swordfight with hook and pirate ship.

Tip: You can attack with the left stick in different directions and the X. button. There are prompts to either jump with the A or duck by holding B buttons. Incorrect actions will result in a hit.

This achievement can get annoying. Each one of these games has one chapter in which you are on pirate ships swordfighting, where you need to avoid getting hit by the enemy piratess while fighting them. Try not to look at the pirate and focus on the bottom of the screen where it will tell you to either jump or duck. Once you complete both of them without getting hit the achievement should unlock.
