Chapter 2 introduces Honolulu and Madlantis, the game's main hubs. Exploring these areas and recruiting crew members is vital for ship upgrades and story progression. During the main quest, you'll meet Julie, a mechanic who runs GearWorks shops in Honolulu. She upgrades the Goromaru and offers further weapon upgrades, including cannons, after initial upgrades. Various materials, obtained by defeating enemies, are needed for these upgrades.

Speak to Julie, select your desired cannon upgrade, and equip them in your ship's crew formation menu. Here's a breakdown of the cannon types and their upgrade requirements:

Shark Cannon

The Shark Cannon offers elemental damage and a faster reload than some alternatives, but its damage is relatively low. Consider saving resources for stronger options, perhaps acquiring this one later for the benefit of recruiting Julie.

Egesta Cannon

The Egesta Cannon inflicts damage over time, offering strategic advantages. Its dual-shot compensates for its slower reload, making it a valuable option, especially if you equip different cannon types on each side of the Goromaru.

Laser Cannon

The Laser Cannon is arguably the best weapon in the game. Save your resources for its upgrade. Its devastating damage outweighs the longer reload time, quickly eliminating weaker ships and significantly harming boss ships.

Super Laser Cannon

The Super Laser Cannon is the ultimate Goromaru weapon upgrade, requiring rare components obtained later in the game. Its superior power and range make it worth saving for, especially for challenging battles in the Pirate Coliseum and against the Devil Pirates.

This guide covers cannon upgrades in *Like a Dragon: Pirate of the Caribbean*. Enjoy!
