Uncharted: Drake's Fortune/Walkthrough/0000 - Chapter 1: Ambushed

Ambushed is the first chapter of Uncharted: Drake's Fortune.

Plot
The game opens with treasure hunter Nathan Drake and journalist Elena Fisher discovering the coffin of British explorer Sir Francis Drake off of the coast of Panama. Nate, who claims to be Drake's descendant (shrugging off the argument that Drake had no recorded heirs), opens the coffin, revealing it empty save for a lockbox with a journal from Drake inside. Elena, who is funding and filming the expedition, demands to see the journal, to which Nate refuses. Their argument is interrupted by the arrival of modern pirates, who are hunting Nate (when asked why, he claims it's a "long story"). Admitting that they don't have a permit to be in the water, Nate hands Fisher a handgun before arming himself.

Nate and Elena hold off the incoming pirate boats until one equipped with a turret and rocket launcher arrives. While the two are saved by the arrival of Nate's partner Victor "Sully" Sullivan, who destroys the attacking boat with his plane, their vessel is critically damaged, forcing the two to abandon ship. Sully pulls the two from the water, and Nate shows him the diary, confirming Nate's theory that Drake faked his death.

Back on shore, and away from Elena's prying eyes (as she is speaking with her executives), Nate reveals that Drake's journal contains notes regarding the location of the fabled El Dorado. Sully insists that they ditch Elena, arguing that the media attention will attract competition from rival hunters, to which Nate reluctantly agrees. The two abandon Elena at the docks, much to her frustration.

Walkthrough
This level is brief, serving as a basic tutorial to combat mechanics.

The first two pirate boats will come from Nate's boat's port side, each with two pirates aboard. The player can kill the enemies either by shooting them, or triggering an explosion by shooting the metal barrel aboard the boats. The next boat will come from both directions, starting with the starboard side. The pirates aboard will jump off the water into the water, and will climb onto Nate's boat after a few seconds. Do not bother shooting them until they climb on deck: they will be immune to damage. Once onboard, they can either be shot or taken out by melee attacks.

Once all of these pirates are taken out, the gunboat will arrive. Take cover and avoid the boat's gunfire, as there is no way to take it over. Once Sully arrives and takes out the gunboat, the chapter will end.
