Captain's cabin short-cut
Use the following route to reach the Captain's cabin in less than 3:30. Climb the stairs after entering the room with Musashi in the cage and the Record Kaiser in the upper corner. You will enter a room with rotating boxes on platforms. Do not climb the ladder. On the right side of this room is a tan box. Hit it twice with your sword to reveal a hidden passage. Jump into the passage to land on top of some cages in the room with Musashi. Enter the doorway to the left to leave the ship. Ignore the advice that Jack will gives you. Turn to the right and follow the passage outside, and around the ship. After some jumps and ladder climbing, you will reach an apparent dead end. Cut through the rope on the right, then jump down. Climb the ladder and break through the door by hitting it three times. Jump into the opening. Jump seven more times to reach the room just underneath the ship's deck.
