Looking to romance the pint-sized pirate Captain Jacques Pierrot in Date Everything? This comprehensive guide will help you navigate his tricky dialogue options and avoid common pitfalls that can lock you out of his love ending. I’ve spent hours perfecting this questline to bring you the exact steps needed for all three possible endings.

Aspect	Details
Character #	Dateable #27
Location	Ship in bottle on mantelpiece above fireplace
Voice Actor	JB Blanc
Related Quest	Beau’s Adventure
SPECS Required	Poise: 90, Charm: 90, Sass: 75
Difficulty	High (Easy to lock out)

Finding Captain Jacques Pierrot in Date Everything

Captain Jacques Pierrot awaits discovery in your living room, specifically as the ship in a bottle decoration sitting on the mantelpiece above the fireplace. To find him, simply walk to the fireplace area (near where you can interact with the couch to meet Dolly) and use your Dateviators on the ship in a bottle. You’ll immediately meet this feisty pirate who’s been stuck as a decoration for far too long.

The location is easy to spot – it’s on the side of the large couch in the living room, making Jacques one of the more accessible dateables in terms of finding him initially. However, don’t let this fool you into thinking his romance will be straightforward!

Critical Romance Requirements

WARNING: The most important thing to know about romancing Captain Jacques Pierrot is that you MUST complete two full interactions with him BEFORE starting Beau’s adventure quest. If you begin Beau’s questline without having your second conversation with Jacques, you’ll permanently lock yourself out of his love ending. This is one of the easiest mistakes to make in the entire game, so pay careful attention to the order of operations.

First Interaction Dialogue Choices

When you first meet Captain Jacques, he’ll immediately try to intimidate and provoke you. Here are the exact dialogue choices for the love ending:

“Startin’ off well, I see.”
“… whoa.”
“Cool, you have enemies?”
“Do they rub you the wrong way?”
“Yeah… I actually didn’t mean to insult you.”
“I’m falling in love with your magnificence…”
“You’re going to kill me?”
“I’m bearing… I’m bearing!”
“I thought you were… going to kill me?”
“Seems like you’re talking a lot about it and not… doing anything.”
“Oh. A speculative stabbing.”
“That was kinda poetic.”
“But… you speak so beautifully!”
“But you look beautiful to me…”
“What the hell was that noise?”
“You don’t like it when people are nice to you?”
“What the hell’s a yardarm?”
“Of course I’m not. I’m just disagreeing with you! VIOLENTLY!”
“Ah yes, cannon… I can evade that easily. I’ll turn my face fully to you, no broadsides today, buccaneer!”
“What do you say we take this to deeper water?”

Second Interaction (MUST Complete Before Beau’s Quest!)

Rest for a day and return to Jacques for your second conversation. This interaction is crucial for unlocking the love ending:

“Are you kidding? You’re SO much fun.”
“Oh, just hoping we can fight/flirt some more.”
“Wanna lick your salty deck, ya rogue.”
“What about foreplay?”
“Damn. See? This is what I’m lookin’ for!”
“I’m really hoping you’ll try…”
“Why do you want me to leave so badly?”
“Thank Poseidon, tell me!”
“Cool. I’ll just.. I’ll be back.”

Beau’s Adventure Quest

Now that you’ve completed both interactions with Jacques, it’s safe to start Beau’s questline. Find Beau by interacting with any closed cardboard box (there are several in your bedroom wardrobe). Progress through her dialogue until she mentions needing to find a special sword and visit Captain Jacques Pierrot’s ship.

When you return to Jacques with Beau, he’ll catch you sneaking around and demand to join the adventure. Accept his request and continue with the cardboard boxes to embark on the two-part adventure quest.

Pro Tip: You can choose to have Gaia summarize the second part of the adventure to save 30 minutes of gameplay. This won’t affect your ability to get Jacques’ love ending, so feel free to use this shortcut if you’re in a hurry.

Third Interaction – Securing the Love Ending

After completing the adventure, return to Jacques for your final conversation. He’ll show you his new cockroach army (yes, really!). Choose these dialogue options:

“You can go anywhere you want?”
“They’re HUGE.”
“Are you kidding? I’m here to claim the heart of a pirate.”
“Oh please. That’s half of why I’m into this.”

Congratulations! You’ve successfully romanced Captain Jacques Pierrot!

Alternative Endings Guide

Friend Ending

If you want to befriend Jacques instead of romancing him, you have more flexibility. You don’t need the second interaction before Beau’s quest. After completing the adventure and seeing his cockroach army, simply choose:

“I still don’t get your self-naming… but I just wanted to say hi!”

This will trigger the friendship ending where Jacques appreciates your company but doesn’t see things progressing romantically.

Hate Ending

For those who want to make an enemy of our prickly pirate, the process is straightforward. After the adventure, when you return to Jacques, choose:

“Wanted to see if you were still weak enough to get hurt when I make fun of you”

Continue to insult his height, mock his personality, and tell him the adventure was boring. Eventually, say you’re bored with his antics and walk away. This will trigger the hate ending, making you sworn enemies.

Realizing Captain Jacques Pierrot

Once you’ve achieved 10 Love or Friend endings with various characters in Date Everything, you’ll unlock the ability to “realize” dateables, sending them into the real world. After a conversation with tinfoilhat, you can offer this option to any character.

For Captain Jacques Pierrot, you’ll need these SPECS stats:

Poise: 90
Charm: 90
Sass: 75

Remember that realizing a character is permanent – they’ll leave your house forever and you won’t be able to interact with them again. Make sure you’re ready to say goodbye before confirming!

Character Details and Trivia

Captain Jacques Pierrot brings unique personality to Date Everything’s roster. Originally from Pegwall Bay in the United Kingdom, he admits to “pirating” his name from another famous pirate but pronounces it in French because he believes “French… is scarier.”

His appearance reflects his makeshift pirate aesthetic:

Shoulder-length brown hair
Outfit assembled from household knickknacks
White plastic bread tie on his belt
Thimble-topped bottlecap for a hat
Pink plastic cocktail sword as his weapon
Living toy chick named “Drumstick” on his shoulder
Missing right leg replaced with a screw

Completing any ending with Jacques increases your Poise stat, making him useful for unlocking other dateables who require high Poise.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Starting Beau’s quest too early – This is the #1 way players lock themselves out of Jacques’ love ending
Being too aggressive initially – Jacques likes playful conflict, not genuine meanness in early interactions
Missing the second interaction – Some players assume one conversation is enough before the adventure
Choosing wrong dialogue during the adventure – While flirting during the quest doesn’t count toward the ending, being mean can sometimes cause issues

Tips for Success

Save your game before each interaction with Jacques
Complete both conversations with him before even talking to Beau
Pay attention to his personality – he wants conflict but also secretly appreciates kindness
Don’t be discouraged by his initial hostility – it’s all part of his character
Use the adventure summary option if you’ve already played through it once
