Shards in sequence 3 - The Port | Animus shards AC Chronicles: China Guide

First secret is near the ceiling and it is well visible

SHARD 1/14 - First shard can be collected at the beginning of the level, on the way to main deck of the Chinese warship.

Shard is hidden at the top of middle mast of Chinese ship

SHARD 2/14 - Second shard can be found after reaching the main deck of Chinese warship. You must climb at the top of the first (middle) mast while avoiding being detected by guards located on the left and right of the mast.

You will see the secret after passing the second mast

SHARD 3/14 - Third shard can be gained after collecting the second one as it as well is on the main deck of Chinese ship.

Examine the territory at the base of the right mast

SHARD 4/14 - Fourth shard is bit further from the two previously described. You must again ignore the central mast on which you have found the second secret and go right. On the way you must avoid being detected by two guards. After you reach with them reach the last mast and jump to the lowest level. You should land exactly at the spot where the secret was left.

You can reach the ledge with secret after you cut off the rope that was holding the boat

SHARD 5/14 - Fifth shard can be found not far after leaving the warship, right from the place where you can find first of three informants working for Templars. Find a small boat in the port which is tied with a red rope. Cut that rope with a throwing knife and then use the wooden beam to move to first plan. Use the fact that the boat has sailed to another place. Jump on it and then to the ledge with the shard.

Shard is hidden near the enemy with a shield

SHARD 6/14 - Sixth fragment can be collected not far from the fifth one. Continue your journey to the right until you reach the place where tutorial about fighting enemies with shield starts. After the tutorial ends walk to the right and lower yourself down when it will be safe. Hold to the fishing nets and use them to move to the left. Reach the territory with enemy with a shield. Sneak behind his back to reach the secret.

Jump to the last post when it will be safe

SHARD 7/14 - Seventh fragment can be gained after collecting the previously described sixth one. Use fishing nets to return to the territory on the right. But don't climb to the ledge with guards, instead jump on the posts sticking from the water on the right side. You must reach to the last post, though you mustn't hurry and wait for good time as guards sometimes look down and check the posts.

Tunnel leads to the shard

SHARD 8/14 - Eighth shard can be collected in the location that you visit after you lower the bascule bridge. Go right on the lowest level, while using hideouts and fishing nets to avoid guards.

Use interactive surrounding elements to reach the ledge with the secret

SHARD 11/14 - This shard is located near the previous one. After leaving the ship (jump to the haystack) you will find yourself near the knob.

They will lead you to the secret, though before you collect it make sure that the guardian has started walking right.

Platform with the secret

SHARD 12/14 - Next shard can be found when you go to the mechanism responsible for lifting the bascule bridge of the fortress.

It will lead you to small platforms, secret is on the second one.

Shard is under the bridge and it is very easy to see it

SHARD 13/14 - Thirteenth shard can be collected quickly after the previous one. Return to the main path, go further to the left and pick another wooden beam that goes under the bridge.
