El Impoluto (English: The Pristine) was one of five legendary ships encountered by the pirate Edward Kenway in the Caribbean, during the 18th century Golden Age of Piracy. She could be found sailing in the Gulf of Mexico.
El Impoluto was among the fastest and most maneuverable vessels in the Spanish Navy, easily outpacing and outsteering smaller vessels such as the Jackdaw despite her size. The ship was also unique in that she was the only Man O' War known to have a naval ram, though she also possessed very powerful broadside cannons and chase guns.
Her battle strategy consisted of one of relentless aggression. Immediately upon sighting an enemy, she made straight for it at top speed and rammed it; her ram was extremely powerful, causing massive damage with a single hit. After ramming, El Impoluto would withdraw a short distance before using her great maneuverability to turn tightly, aiming to make another ram attempt. However, if she was attacked repeatedly while charging, she would break off. Her broadside cannons were generally used only as a secondary weapon, though they did great damage to an enemy ship if it was in heavy shot range.
Despite her advantages, El Impoluto was eventually sunk by Edward Kenway's Jackdaw.
Trivia
- Impoluto is Spanish for "spotless, unblemished, unpolluted".
- After he successfully destroyed all legendary ships, Edward was rewarded with El Impoluto's charge attack for the Jackdaw. When used, the Jackdaw's speed was temporarily increased in order to deliver devastating damage with the ram.
- The wheel and figurehead of El Impoluto can be gained through the completion of community challenges.
- There's a glitch to easily defeat El Impoluto in which the player must mark it on the map, go to it and release control of the helm when the distance reaches 580 meters. The cutscene will start and when it's over, Edward will be off the helm. The player must go to the bowsprit and wait for El Impoluto to ram the Jackdaw. If you are lucky enough (it may take a few tries), it will ram in a way that will allow you to board El Impoluto and kill the crew, reducing the ship's HP to 0.
