Boss Fight Captain Jack Coltello



Are you ready to sink Captain Jack’s battleship? Take on Captain Jack Coltello in the latest boss fight for a chance to win his prized submarine. You’ll need special boss fight ammo to defeat this nautical nightmare.


Q: When is this event scheduled to begin?
A: This feature will be released on 06/23/11. This feature will be released to a limited audience and may not be available to all players immediately. After a short period to ensure game stability, the boss fight will be released to all players.

Q: When is this event scheduled to end?
A: This event will end 06/30/11. As with many of the events and quests, there is a timer that indicates the conclusion of the event to keep you on track.

Q: Does the Boss heal during the fight?
A: No. Once you begin attacking, the Boss will not regenerate his or her health. However, once you knock out the Boss to master the fight, the Boss will return with a higher level health.

Q: Do Boss Fights cost stamina?
A: No stamina is needed to fight the Boss for this timed feature. You will need to collect Ammo from jobs, fights, robbing, and gifting to bring down the Boss.

Q: What is new about this Boss Fight?
A: There will be new c-c-c-c-combos for you to discover that pack an extra punch when you unlock the correct order of Ammos. Also, shotgun blasts, the ammo found from gifting, will not be as strong as other ammos. (Hint: Win more fights!)

Q: What is the new mastery item for defeating the Boss?
A: You will get Captain Jack Coltello’s prized Whetstone submarine.

Bronze mastery – 128 attack/96 defense

Silver mastery – 149 attack/104 defense

Gold mastery – 168 attack/116 defense


Q: What are the Ammo/consumables that I will need to collect?
A: There are four types of Ammos you can collect:

· Shotgun Blast – This Ammo is a free gift that you can collect from feeds and requests.
· Knife Slash - This Ammo drops by completing Jobs.
· Knuckle Punch - This Ammo drops from Fighting.
· Crack of the Bat – This Ammo drops from Robbing.


Q: Should the Ammo be used in any type of Combination?
A: By using the correct order of 4 Ammos in a row, you can unlock Combos, which do greater damage to the Boss. Each time that you click an Ammo to attack the Boss, your Ammo history appears on the bottom.

Q: How do I determine what the best Combo will be to attack the Boss?
A: The best way to find a 4-Ammo Combo is through self-discovery. Users can share Combo's through feeds after they have discovered them. One Combo will also be found by completing a quest event, which begins after the Boss fight starts and continues for the duration of the event.

Q: Are customer support agents able to provide Combos?
A: The Combos are designed for self-discovery and for players to share between themselves. Customer Support agents will not be able to provide this information to you.

Q: Are there limits to the number of Ammos that I can collect?
A: Yes. Each consumable has a daily limit that can be collected. For the Job, Fighting, and Robbing Ammos, you can collect a maximum of 50 each day. For the gifting Ammos, you can only collect 40 a day.

Q: What happens if I try to collect more than my daily limit of any of the Ammos?
A: You will receive a message alerting you that you have collected your daily limit of that item, and you will be rewarded a mystery bag. It is very important to note, however, that the daily free gift limit of 200 still applies.

Q: Is there a maximum amount of each Ammo that I can have in my inventory?
A: The maximum amount that you can have in your inventory for the Job, Fighting, and Robbing Ammo is 50 at any given time. The maximum amount that of the gifted Ammo is 80, but remember you can only collect a maximum of 40 each day for this Ammo.

Q: Is there mastery for defeating the Boss?
A: Yes! Players will receive a mastery item (bronze, silver, or gold) each time they knock out the Boss, however, you will not actually finish the Boss until you have reached the gold mastery level.

Q: What if I don't have enough of a Ammo for the Boss fight, are they available for purchase?
A: The Ammos will be available for purchase for 1 Reward point each.

Q: What happens if I beat a Boss and forget to collect the reward?
A: The Boss feature will remain visible on your home tab with a Collect Rewards button. You will be credited the reward after clicking that button.

Q: What happens after I defeat a Boss for the first time?
A: The heal timer for the subsequent Boss (silver/gold) begins immediately.

Q: The Boss seems really hard to beat, is there an easier way to do it?
A: The Boss fight has been designed to be very difficult. This is one of the reasons that you have extended amount of time to defeat them. There are no shortcuts, however, you can increase the damage that you do by discovering the secret combos. Remember to share these with your Mafia after you discover them!

Q: Will I be able to repeat the Boss fight once I have completed it?
A: The Boss fight is a Mastery event consisting of three levels: Bronze, Silver, and Gold. After you have finished the Gold level, you will have completed the Mastery event and will no longer be able to see the event on your homepage.

The Consumable is not available on the Free Gift page yet.. etc etc..

For you who still don't understand about this new event can go to Customer Support page and read what the 411 guy explain.. but wait, there is no such page yet!
Jennifer from MWLootLady blog make one for you here : The Raven FAQ... so all credits go to Jennifer! Thank you!

It is very well spoken and include everything you need to know about this event. Better if I make a copy-paste of it here.. Here you go :

Assassin: The Raven FAQ
Updated 06/10/2011 at 01:29


Assassin: The Raven is our latest Boss Fight Event and it's going to be a challenge.  The Raven doesn't just rest on the Home Page Module for you to fight at your convenience. That's for sissies!  Look what happened to Roughhouse Rafael and Kassina Kunoichi, they got their asses kicked. The Raven is elusive and you must spend a lot of stamina to find him. You can't stock up on Ammo until he is ready.  Hell, you won't even find Shotgun Blasts on the Free Gift Page. We are well aware of your past strategies and how you use those Spocklets to laugh at our Boss Fights. The Raven isn't scared, but you should be!


Q:  I was almost done beating the Raven and he disappeared along with all of my consumables. When he came back all my progress was lost. How can I get credit?
A:  This feature was accidentally released and it was determined it was too easy. Stop crying and start farming. Customer Support can only compensate you 10 Reward Points for your lost consumables. Real men don't complain, they adapt. Stop bothering the Customer Support Agents. The Raven is laughing at you.


Q:  The Super Moderator said that the feature was active for all players. I still don't have the Raven, why is that?
A:  The Raven only shows himself when he is ready to fight. You must go to your fight page and start icing people. When it's determined you are a good match the Raven will appear on a banner to taunt you. He may disappear or he may let you fight. We have no control over the Raven.


Q:  Ok, I beat the Raven and now I want to fight him again so I can get the achievements. Why can't I find him?
A:  Again, The Raven only shows himself when he is ready to fight. Keep spending your stamina and playing Mafia Wars. Eventually he will appear (wink).


Q:  Why aren't the Shotgun Blasts on the Free Gift Page?
A:   We know what you all do with that thing called the Link-a-Nator and we don't like it. We want The Raven to be a challenge not a cake walk.


Q:  I want to load up on my Boss Fight consumables but they aren't dropping. Why is that?
A:  We wouldn't want this to be too easy so we designed it so consumable items only drop when you are actively fighting The Raven. If he isn't on your Operations Page, don't expect consumables to drop.


Q:  I noticed there is an achievement for fighting the Raven 100 times! How the hell can I do that when The Raven takes his sweet ass time to appear in my game?
A:  Silly Mafia Wars player. You all complained that the Boss Fights were too easy so we brought in a heavy hitter. You are mistaken if you think these achievements are attainable. Look at all the poor saps trying to get their What's After Trillion achievement. You may get them if you are lucky enough to be on line during a glitch, otherwise we just added them so you would feel challenged.


Q:  What's with the weird names of the 3 achievements?
A:  The Raven doesn't speak your language. The achievements are in Latin and translated below.
Requiescat in Pace Primus
Translation: I let you get me once so you would feel confident and spend Reward Points on Ammo and Stamina Refills.
Requiescat in Pace Decimus
Translation: I see you are still trying to find me for a second fight. Good luck with that.
Requiescat in Pace Centesimus
Translation: If you think this is even possible, we want what you're smoking.


Hahaha, I like it, Jen!
Hope Zynga read this FAQ and do the things right! Smiley

Q:  Does the Boss heal during the fight?
A:  The Boss begins to regenerate after 8 hours.  The Boss has a heal timer that resets the Boss' health if it expires.  The Boss fully heals if you run away.

Q:  So, what's new with the Boss fight?
A:  There are several updated features in the new Boss fight.  Previously, the Boss Fights required that players use Stamina. In this updated version, you now need to collect Ammo to use to bring the Boss down.

Q:  What are the Ammo/consumables that I will need to collect?
A:  There are four types of Ammo that you can collect:

  • Knife Slash -> 5-15 damage.  This consumable may be found by completing Jobs.

A:  Yes.  Each consumable has a daily limit that can be collected.  For the Job, Fighting, and Robbing consumables, you can collect a maximum of 50 each day.  For the gifting consumables, you can only collect 40 each day.

Q:  What happens if I try to collect more than my daily limit of any of the Ammo consumables?
A:  You will receive a message alerting you that you have collected your daily limit of that item, and you will be rewarded a mystery bag.  It is very important to note, however, that the daily free gift limit of 200 still applies.

Q:  Is there a maximum amount of each consumable that I can have in my inventory? 
A:  The maximum amount that you can have in your inventory for the Job, Fighting, and Robbing consumable is 50 at any given time.  The maximum amount that of the gifted consumable is 80, but remember you can only collect a maximum of 40 each day for this consumable.

Hayden has posted about the Boss Fight here.. The Boss Fight is gone but we can still send or receive the ammos from all aspects of the game.
Whether it is from Free Gift (I am still receiving Shotgun Blasts from some mafias), still have the ammos dropping from doing jobs, fights and robberies..
This is the example of my ammos now :



Many of us wondering if there will be another Boss Fight soon.

There is another banner now on your Home page tab :

We have around 6 days left to complete it, so be hurry! :)

The 4 consumables needed can be looted from doing jobs, robbing, fighting and free gifts page.

Consumables affect, location.. -



Also, please help out when your mafias post that are saying they need more Shotgun Blasts. 
Why? Because you receive 2x Shotgun Blasts every person you help.


We have to use the 4 consumables to attack Roughhouse Rafael, normal attacks are not allowed.
We can also unlock combos by using 4 ammos in a row!

And here i got the combo by using "Knife Slash > Knife Slash > Knife Slash > Knife Slash"..

Combo 1 - 
Combo 2 -
Combo 3 -
Curently still locked!

Fight screen -

I attacked the boss using one of the consumables.. Boss got hit and his health went down, of course mine went down too!

Lastly, i have finished the boss for Bronze! Hahahah!

Here comes the Silver mastery for the Boss Fight.. I have ran out of consumables though! :(
Alright, so i have crushed the Silver Mastery boss!

Now comes the final boss for the Gold Mastery!

Boss Fight Consumables Dropping and Free Gifts

The boss fight consumables that will be used for the coming Boss Fights event are now dropping in jobbing, fighting and robbing. One of the consumable, Shotgun Blasts is available to be sent through the Free Gifts page too.
We can only accept 40 Shotgun Blasts daily via Free Gifts!

Does this mean that the Boss Fight event will be released soon? If i'm not wrong, it was Jennifer from the MW LootLady Blog who had mentioned that it will be released on 11 May 2011. Let's wait.... =)

(The consumable is "boxed" up within the Red color border)
