Story

Loved by many... feared by all. Captain Claw, surveyor of the 7 seas, is perhaps the greatest pirate ever to grace the Animalian Lore Realms.
His courage? Legendary. His followers? Loyal to the death. His claws? Well... let's just say that more than a few sailors have permanent reminders of their razor-sharp tips.

Several years ago a proclamation, signed by the King, was issued to the realm. This proclamation read:

For numerous crimes against the Realm, and for the repeated destruction and theft of the property of the Cocker Spaniard Kingdom, and for a complete and utter disregard for the authority of the Crown, a bounty in the amount of 1,000,000 gold pieces is hereby issued for the capture, dead or alive, of Captain Nathaniel J. Claw, dreaded pirate, enemy of the Realm, and known scallywag.

Because of this proclamation, every bounty hunter and magistrate in the Realm has sought to capture the elusive Captain Claw. Many have tried to capture this infamous pirate, but none have succeeded... until now. Claw's ship is overtaken on the high-seas by Captain Le Rauxe, a high-ranking officer in the King's service and a pompous and unscrupulous dog. Subsequently, Claw's ship is scuttled, and Claw and his crew are captured and taken to La Roca, a prison run by the Cocker Spaniards. While imprisoned Claw discovers a letter written by Edward Tobin, a former prisoner executed for crimes against the Crown. Tobin's letter tells of the existence of the Amulet of Nine Lives: a mystical amulet that, according to myth, provides the wearer with near immortality. With his strength and hope renewed by the promise of adventure, Claw breaks out of his prison cell and begins a quest to reclaim his crew and locate the remaining gems for the Amulet of Nine Lives. With a million "golden" reasons to separate Claw from his head, every servant of the Realm will be out to stop Claw from completing his quest. If he fights skillfully, Claw may avoid death and uncover the remaining gems for the Amulet of Nine Lives. With enough luck, ultimately Claw may complete his quest and reassemble the powerful Amulet of Nine Lives.

Where to get it

Claw is no longer sold, but there are many places where it can be downloaded for free. You can start with the Claw v1.4.5.2 'CrazyHook' package available in our Downloads section. What is CrazyHook, you ask? In short, a mod for Claw that adds support for external assets (graphics, sounds, and even new game logics) in custom levels. It also includes quality-of-life improvements like a search function in the custom levels menu, and adds new cheats such as MPALICE. CrazyHook was created by Zax37 and cubuspl42, and later improved by TSxD.

While only 70 MB, this download contains the full game and the cnc-ddraw tool (created by Funkyfr3sh) for compatibility with modern systems including Windows 10 and 11. Moreover, it does not require installation: everything is preconfigured, all you need to do is unpack the archive into a folder of your choice and launch CLAW.EXE (or use cnc-ddraw config.exe to customize your experience first: there are even shaders that mimic the look of old CRT monitors, if you are feeling particularly nostalgic).

One thing this package does not include are the cutscenes. If you badly want them, there is a more complete one available here. At 360 MB, it has everything mentioned above, plus high-quality DVD cutscenes, plus all 500+ custom levels ever made for Claw. Note, however, that due to the larger file size, it is hosted off-site.

Walkthroughs

Claw is a left-to-right side-scroller, in which you navigate the titular character through a series of tricky levels, fighting enemies, solving puzzles, and collecting treasure and powerups. The goal of the game is to obtain the amulet of nine lives, which requires finding its nine gems. The gems can be taken from defeated bosses, and you will also need map pieces to find the location of additional levels. Below, you can read walkthroughs for all 14 levels, written by Rich Kleinhenz, and watch video guides, recorded by the people behind this site.

There is much more fun to be had, though: once you defeat the final boss, be sure to try some of the amazing custom levels that have been created by the community over the years. Moreover, both official and fan-made levels can be used in multiplayer.

Cutscenes

The animated cutscenes between levels are a particular highlight of the game. Notably, in 1997 Claw was one of the first games to be also released on DVD, as part of the Creative PC DVD Encore Dxr2 set (see the retrospective video, courtesy of Lazy Game Reviews). This release included high-quality movies in DVD (VOB) format. Altogether, there are eight cutscenes with a total running time of nearly 18 minutes. Credits to Dethos for uploading them to YouTube and setting up subtitles.

Introduction -- running time: 6:55

The first and longest video, which plays when the game is first launched. The depicted events precede the start of the first level. Claw's ship is attacked by Admiral Le Rauxe and after a short, unequal battle, it goes down. Our previously elusive hero is captured and imprisoned in the fortress of La Roca. Held there in terrible conditions, he awaits his execution, due the following day. Trying to get out of his cell, he accidentally discovers a loose brick in the wall. Behind it, there is a letter written by another prisoner sentenced to death, by the name of Edward Tobin. It claims that the legendary Amulet of Nine Lives is in fact quite real. Claw is intrigued, but first must somehow escape his current predicament... Watch on YouTube

Escape -- running time: 1:03
	The pirate jumps out of a window and lands in the water. In no time at all, a chase is launched after him. Claw heads into the woods, hoping to lose the pursuing guards there. Out of breath, but successful, he hides in the shade of the trees. Watch on YouTube

Out of the Woods -- running time: 0:32
Claw gets out of the forest and heads toward a nearby town, which he rightly suspects is the one described in Tobin's letter. If so, there should be a chance to find out more about the amulet, and perhaps even collect additional gems and fragments of the map. Watch on YouTube

The Tavern -- running time: 1:50

A longer cutscene, featuring notable revelations for our hero. Claw ends up in a tavern, where he overhears a conversation between two sailors about the amulet. The opinions are divided: one believes there might be something to it, while the other is certain that it is just a fairy tale told to little kittens. Trying to convince the unbeliever, the first cat confides that he has seen one of the gems: apparently Gabriel, the first mate, plans to personally hand it to the notorious Red Tail. Rumor has it, the villain has captured pirates who had more gems, and knows the way to Tiger Island. Unconvinced, the second cat goes to ask Gabriel himself, followed out by his blabbermouth colleague... and both tailed by Claw. Watch on YouTube

The Chase -- running time: 0:32
Having defeated Gabriel, Claw chases after his ship, which prepares to depart without the first mate. At the last moment, our hero performs a spectacular leap and gets on board through an open window. The ship will take him closer to the legendary Tiger Island. Watch on YouTube

Reunion -- running time: 2:26
	Unexpectedly, Claw reunites with his crew. It turns out that they were the pirates Red Tail captured. He took two of the gems they had acquired from a merchant, but they hid the third. Tabby gives it back to our hero, who then descends alone into the undersea caves. Watch on YouTube

Tiger Island -- running time: 0:39

One of the shorter interludes. After a long and grueling passage through the dark caves, a visibly exhausted Claw finally returns to the surface. There, his strength quickly returns at the fascinating sight of Tiger Island. Among the tropical forest, stone statues can be seen, surely belonging to a temple where the amulet may be. The destination is close, but Red Tail has the same plan and is ahead so far, with his ship already anchored off the coast of the island. Claw's nemesis has probably gone ashore, where a confrontation is imminent. Only its winner, having collected eight of the nine gems, will be entering the temple to challenge its guardian for the final gem. But first things first... Red Tail awaits. Watch on YouTube

We Meet Again -- running time: 1:28

A key scene, in which the long-awaited clash between Claw and Red Tail finally takes place, ending in defeat for the latter. Although defeated, Red Tail does not lose his cool and doubts that the "decorated thief" stands a chance to ever claim the amulet. Not bothered by this monologue, Claw demands the remaining two gems. Red Tail, defiant, produces a dagger instead, but our hero has good reflexes and quickly knocks it out of his hand. When Red Tail recovers, seeing that he has no choice, he takes a small pouch with the two gems... and throws it into the water, using the distraction to quickly get to his boat and sail away. Claw has the last laugh as he eventually finds the pouch, gems still inside. Watch on YouTube

The Ceremony -- running time: 2:16

The last episode, in which we witness the end of Claw's battle with Omar, the guardian of the amulet. Having defeated him, Claw quickly carries all the gems to an altar, in which the characteristic shape of the amulet is carved. As soon as he places them on it, they arrange themselves in the correct places, a brilliant blue light appears, and a beautiful cat materialises: the Princess Adora. Congratulating Claw on overcoming all odds and getting the nine gems, she also warns him to protect the amulet and not let it fall into the hands of the corrupt and villainous. In the end, our hero departs on a new ship with his loyal crew, as well as Omar, who will continue guarding the amulet and its rightful wearer. Watch on YouTube

Weapons

Melee (Ctrl): Claw uses his sword as his default attack, and it remains useful throughout the game as it requires no ammo. Claw will punch and kick if enemies get too close. You can also attack while ducked, which halves your damage but makes you less vulnerable.

Throw (Z): Claw can also pick up and throw enemies like a wrestler doing a body slam. This does a small amount of damage to the enemy, but will crush and kill all other enemies he lands on. Exploding barrels can also be thrown.

Pistol (Alt -- toggled via Shift): ammo for the pistol is common and (unrealistically) you can fire as rapidly as you like. Unfortunately it is difficult to shoot while jumping, and in the later levels your enemies build up a resistance to it.

Name	Image	Description
Shot		+5 bullets
Shot bag		+10 bullets
Death bag		+25 bullets (only in custom levels)

Dynamite (Alt -- toggled via Shift): dynamite is a highly strategic weapon, since you can throw it in a curved arc and can decide how far it travels. Its main uses are clearing out crowded areas below you and smashing crates that you can't reach with your sword.

Name	Image	Description
Dynamite		+5 dynamite

Magic Claw (Alt -- toggled via Shift): the strongest weapon in the game, magic claws will kill all enemies in their path when fired. Unfortunately ammo is very rare and you won't be able to use it often.

Name	Image	Description
Magic glow		+5 Magic Claws
Magic starglow		+10 Magic Claws
Magic claw		+35 Magic Claws (only in custom levels)

Powerups

Note that curse powerups are only present in multiplayer games (and even there, they can be optionally disabled by the host).

Name	Image	Description
Bread and water		+5 health. Can be found in level 1 and 2.
Apple and grapes		+5 health. Can be found in level 3 and 4.
Three bottles of milk		+5 health. Can be found in level 5.
Bottle of milk		+5 health. Can be found in level 6.
Fish		+5 health. Can be found in level 7 and 8.
Cheese and juice		+5 health. Can be found in level 9 and 10.
Mushrooms		+5 health. Can be found in level 11 and 12.
Tropical fruits		+5 health. Can be found in level 13.
Meat and grapes		+5 health. Can be found in level 14.
Health potion 1		+10 health.
Health potion 2		+15 health.
Health potion 3		+25 health.
White catnip		Claw moves faster, deals more damage, and jumps higher for a short period of time (usually 15 seconds). Look for secret areas nearby wherever you see a catnip.
Red catnip		Claw moves faster, deals more damage, and jumps higher for a longer period of time (usually 30 seconds). Look for secret areas nearby wherever you see a catnip.
Fire sword		Replaces the default sword attack with a powerful magic weapon that shoots fire projectiles... for a limited time (usually 30 seconds).
Ice sword		Replaces the default sword attack with a powerful magic weapon that shoots ice projectiles... for a limited time (usually 30 seconds).
Lightning sword		Replaces the default sword attack with a powerful magic weapon that shoots lightning projectiles... for a limited time (usually 30 seconds).
Invisibility		Enemies can't see Claw (although they can still damage him by walking into him). For some reason, seagulls are not affected by this powerup.
Invulnerability		Claw is immune to all enemy attacks and damage from traps (but can still die by falling into the goo or landing on spikes that kill instantly).
Extra life		+1 extra life (up to a maximum of nine).
Ammo curse		The other players lose all pistol ammo.
Freeze curse		The other players are frozen for 5 seconds.
Health curse		The other players lose half of their health points.
Death curse		The other players die immediately.
Magic curse		The other players lose all Magic Claws.
Treasure curse		The other players lose 20% of their current score.

Treasure

There is a huge amount of treasure in Claw, sometimes hundreds of items per level. You receive an extra life per every 500.000 points (prior to version 1.2, one per million points).

Name	Image	Value	Additional information
Coin		100 points	The commonest treasure type in the game.
Gold bar		500 points	Very often in crates.
Ring		1500 points	None
Chalice		2500 points	None
Pearl necklace		2500 points	Even though Monolith decided not to use them, we can find pearls in custom levels.
Cross		5000 points	None
Scepter		7500 points	Often found in pairs.
Gecko		10000 points	They have big value, but they're easy to find.
Crown		15000 points	Usually found in secret areas.
Skull		25000 points	Extremely valuable, and never easy to get.

Enemies

Officers (levels 1 and 2): these are the weakest enemies in the game, and can be killed with very little effort. They attack at close range using a sword (image on the left).

Soldiers (levels 1 and 2): carries a musket and has a ranged attack. If you get too close they will club you with their musket stocks (image on the right).

Robber Thieves (levels 3 and 4): Robber Thieves have a bow and arrows and are quite dangerous over a distance (image on the left).

Cutthroats (levels 3 and 4): a meaner version of the above. They carry knives and can stab you if you get close (image on the right).

Rats (levels 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 8): whether they throw bombs or operate cannons, rats are dangerous foes. Plus their small size makes them hard to hit.


Seagulls (levels 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10): Probably the commonest enemy in the game, seagulls will swoop down on you from the skies. They are very fast and hard to hit, and can be deadly when you're making a crucial jump.


White Guards (levels 5 and 6): not really dangerous opponents, these sword fighters can parry and block your attacks sometimes. They are VERY weak against your pistol (image on the right).


Black Guards (levels 5 and 6): the same as the above, except a bit tougher (image on the left).

Crabs (level 7): extremely tough enemies that can do a lot of damage to you. Their shells mean you can't damage them with your sword or pistol. Only when attacking or moving are they vulnerable (image on the left).

Bomber Crabs (level 7): harder versions of the above, bomb crabs will throw exploding bombs at you occasionally.

Red Tail Pirates (levels 7, 8, 13): They are loyal Red Tail's warriors. In level 7 they are easily killed, but in level 13 the block most of your hits and in groups are very dangerous (image on the right).

Bear Sailors (levels 7, 8, 13): Bear Sailors will crush you if you get too close, but are quite easy to dispatch otherwise. If you do fall into their embrace, press the attack button as fast as you can to escape (image on the left).

Peg Leg Pirates (levels 9 and 10): Very difficult to hit, immune to bullets, and lethal with their own pistols, these are the hardest enemies in the game (except perhaps for the tiger guards). Fortunately, Peg Legs have one major weakness: hit in the wooden leg, they will be paralysed for a few seconds... long enough to finish them off. Still, fighting more than one at a time usually means serious trouble and should be always avoided at all costs (image on the left).

Crazy Hook Pirates (levels 9 and 10): Crazy Hook Pirates have quite a long reach, and will immediately lash back when hit. It is difficult to kill one without losing health without using pistols or magic (image on the right).

Mercats (levels 11 and 12): These are trident-carrying menaces who can sometimes block bullets, and will blast you on sight. Their shots do a lot of damage (20 per hit) and are difficult to dodge.

Sirens (levels 11 and 12): On their own, Sirens are quite harmless, paralysing you for a few seconds without dealing any damage. However, Mercats usually are around waiting for it to happen. In an unlucky event, you can get stuck between two singing Sirens, requiring End Life to escape.

Fish (levels 11 and 12): These are always found in water, and will jump out and try to bite you if you get too close to their domain. These are usually nuisances rather than actual threats, but if you're standing over death tiles they can quite easily knock you off your platform and kill you.

Chameleons (levels 13 and 14): by far these are the most annoying enemies in the game. You will hate them after only a few minutes playing level 13. They will lash out with their tongues, and can blend in with their surroundings, making them impossible to hit. Use dynamite to kill these whenever you can.

Tiger Guards (level 14): the hardest enemies in the game. They can jump, pounce, slash and are almost impossible to hit. Other than a magic claw, the only way to beat them is to stay mobile yourself. If you see them preparing to pounce, jump backwards and then hit them with a high slash attack. They come in two types: red and white. There appears to be no difference between the two.

Bosses

Le Rauxe (level 2): The easiest way to defeat him is to stay in the starting position. Do not move at all and let him come to you. Now, start attacking with your sword without a stop. Just keep pressing the sword key and Le Rauxe will soon die!


Katherine (level 4): Jump towards Katherine and hit her with a high slash attack. As soon as your feet hit the ground, jump away from her and repeat. If you happen to stun Katherine, kneel down in front of her and attack as many times as you can. Running away does not work against Katherine, as her whip will be able to hit you wherever you go. Keep jumping and you will kill Katherine, quickly!


Wolvington (level 6): Jump towards Wolvington and hit him with a high slash attack. Immediately attack Wolvington with a low slash to force him back. Now, quickly jump towards him and repeat. Wolvington will shoot magic attacks at you, so be prepared to dodge like crazy! If you stay fairly close to him, he does not shoot at you, but will try close range attacks, so be careful. Keep it up and you will waste Wolvington!


Gabriel (level 8): Jump up the disappearing platforms to the top and then jump to the right and hit the switch on the mast. This will tilt the cannon so that it's pointing at Gabriel. Then next time Gabriel fires a cannonball at you, it will hit him instead. Now, just jump back up the platforms and repeat until Gabriel does himself in! Fend off the enemies that hop down to fight you, and try the best you can to avoid the explosions while you're hitting that switch and you will win!

Marrow (level 10): Wait by the pit and hit the parrot when you see it fly towards you. After you hit the parrot three times, the bridge will appear. Run across the bridge and use a jumping high slash attack on Marrow. Once you hit Marrow five times, the parrot will pick Marrow up and fly to the opposite side of the screen. Quickly jump up to the platform and wait for the parrot again. Keep repeating until you mash Marrow!


Aquatis (level 12): Use your sword to hit the three tentacles and get them out of your way. Now, run to the right edge of the platform and heave a stick of dynamite by holding the button down, into a small hole just behind Aquatis. The dynamite will explode in the hole and shake loose a stalactite from the ceiling. The stalactite will fall and do damage to Aquatis. Now, quickly run as far to the left as you can to avoid Aquatis' tentacle frenzy and then repeat. There is no need to stand on the small floating platform next to Aquatis for any reason. Keep it up and you will soon abolish Aquatis!

Red Tail (level 13): Hop up onto the platform above to avoid most of Red Tail's attacks. When he jumps up, kneel down and attack when he lands from his jump. He should then jump back down to the ground. Stay up there and repeat until Red Tail is roasted! If you need a little extra help with Red Tail, stay on the bottom and run like crazy to the right. Make a running jump out into the water and you will land on a hidden platform. Keep going to the right and grab the special goodies then ride the moving platform back to the battle!

Omar (level 14): Drop down to the area below. If you see a Fire shield around Omar, climb back up, follow the right path to grab the Ice Sword, return to Omar, and shoot an Ice bolt through the opening in his shield to do damage. If you see an Ice shield, climb back up, follow the left path to grab the Fire Sword, and shoot a Fire bolt through the opening in Omar's shield. Keep doing this until you obliterate Omar. Now, ride the lift up. You will need to time your jumps over the lava and avoid Omar's attacks. Once you are next to him, attack with your sword to do damage. Then, go over to the opposite side and repeat until you win!
