Objectives
1	・Defeat the First Two Pirates The primary objective of this Side Mission is to defeat 5 Pirates, which are all conveniently placed into three areas. From the starting area, head down the path to the right of the Cube ahead of you and deal with the enemies you run across until you reach an area that splits into two paths, both leading into caves. Take the path to the right, where one Pirate will jump out from behind several barrels. Proceed down the path and open the door, where a second Pirate will be standing above on top of a ledge.
2	Defeat the Last Three Pirates After taking care of the second Pirate, head down the newly opened path. You will eventually reach an area where the Third Pirate will be. Deeper into this linear section will be the two remaining Pirates, guarded by several regular enemies.

Tips and Strategies

Block and Counterattack

Though weak enemies, Pirates can be rather tricky due to their agility. Instead of being goaded into attacking them, which they can easily side-step away from, wait for these Pirates to attack you instead. Block, Parry, or Soul Shield each of their strikes until they stop, leaving them open to your attacks.
