Shards in sequence 5 - Consequences | Animus shards AC Chronicles: China Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
SHARD 1/8 - First shard can be found at the beginning. Don't use the fishing nets to get to the single guard, instead climb on the highest ledge with the secret.
SHARD 2/8 - Second shard can be found not far after the first one. After you kill the guard near the fishing nets, go right. Look around for a wooden beam that leads to the background (it can be easily missed). There you will find the secret.
SHARD 3/8 - Third shard can be obtained after you complete another climbing with the fishing nets. After reaching the highest ledge don't go right, instead pick the left side.
SHARD 4/8 - Fourth shard can be found further in the level. It is located on the top of the mast on which you must climb before flames reach your assassin. Visiting the top of the mast is mandatory so you can't miss this secret.
SHARD 5/8 - Fifth shard can be obtained after passing through masts on the burning ship (where you have gained the fourth shard). After making the last long jump you will land on a ledge precisely above the secret so all that you need to do is walk down.
SHARD 6/8 - Sixth shard can be found not far after the leap of faith and leaving the burning ship. After murdering the guard pick the lower beam and move to the first plan. Then turn left and move in that direction until you reach the secret.
SHARD 7/8 - Seventh shard is in the territory guarded by few guards. Two of them are very close to the secret. You can fight them if you want, but a better option is to wait for them to position themselves in the good way and make a long jump to the secret. After getting the shard you should load last checkpoint and pick an alternative road to the mission target (completely avoiding combat).
SHARD 8/8 - Eight shard can be obtained after passing through a group of guards near the seventh shard. Go right until you reach the spot where Shao Jun can use rope dart to reach further plan. After doing it you will find yourself on the right from the shard.
