Cap'n Flynn's Ship, also known as The Dread-Yacht, is the hub world in Skylanders: Giants that is actually a cursed ship. It can be customized in the game from Legendary Treasures found in the game. The Dread-Yacht made a reappearance in Skylanders: Swap Force.
Story
History
Some say that the person who originally built the ship was a very bad pilot. He was constantly getting lost, crashing into things, not stowing his luggage safely in the overhead compartment, etc. So he decided that since he probably wasn't going to become a better pilot, he should try to build a machine that just makes him very lucky. He could still be bad but he would luck out and it wouldn't matter. So he built the Luck-O-Tron machine on board the Dread Yacht (then called the "SS. Look Out!!") but unfortunately, this guy wasn't a great inventor either because what the Luck-O-Tron initially did was drain all the luck permanently out of the ship and it was never lucky again. He was able to salvage the Luck-O-Tron to provide some help to people who fly on the ship, but never when they are actually on the ship. This is the original curse of the Dread Yacht.[1]
Skylanders: Giants
Flynn purchased the Dread-Yacht from a desperate seller, who knew that the ship was cursed. The Molekin of Molekin Mountain, and Bowsers from Cutthroat Carnival, have heard or possibly know of the Dread-Yacht's origins.
Skylanders: Swap Force
The Dread-Yacht took major damage during Flynn and Tessa's desperate escape from the Greeble Airships. It was soon towed to Woodburrow where the villagers began to repair the damage the ship sustained. After a series of quests throughout the Cloudbreak Islands, Sharpfin and his crew repaired the Dread-Yacht, giving the ship new improvements including a spy mode, a manual, and a hot tub.
Trivia
- It is never explained how the Dread-Yacht is cursed. It is assumed that the ship is bad luck, bringing misfortunes to the crew while they were on their quest to stop Kaos in Giants, such as the ship repeatedly breaking apart in some areas, getting struck by lightning, ambushed by an Arkeyan Copter and later a ghost pirate ship. Flynn however, refuses to believe that his ship is cursed.
- With the right set wings, you can unlock Hatterson's shop. The only set of wings that will do this is the Dragon Set's wings, which are available at Kaos' Kastle.
- Despite being unadvanced in technology, the Dread-Yacht does have a holoprojector in Flynn's cabin.
- If you use anyone who can create large objects and throw it down the side, the boulder will collide with an island.
- Many fire attacks will die out when touching the water puddles on the main deck.
- When a Skylander goes close to the music box on the Flynn's ship, they will sing his/her name.
- Eruptor is the only Skylander that does not sing his name when near the jukebox.
- Some Skylanders, like Gill Grunt, will have an unlimited amount of water when you stand on the puddles on the main deck.
- Curse Magazine recently rated the Dread-Yacht as the #6 most cursed thing in their "Top 100 Curses" issue, just behind the vegetable, broccoli.[1]
- Ghost Roaster is the only Skylander who is able to die on Cap'n Flynn's Ship due to his ectoplasm mode.
- In the Wii version of Skylanders: Giants, there is a glitch with Eruptor that is caused by using his Eruption attack while standing in a water puddle, then bringing up the Skylanders Stat Menu just as mist rises up from the puddle. If you keep performing this, the mist will stay there. It can lead to a game crash if performed enough times.
- Flynn took all the credit for the events that happened in Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure and used the reward money to buy the ship.
