Last update: 11 May 2016
After the mission starts, follow Bonnet.
While you are passing by a store, Bonnet will suggest that you buy a weapon. Approach the salesman and buy the cutlasses shown in the screenshot.
You now need to get onto the top of the church spire. Use the projecting ledges and holes while directing your character towards them. Once you are on top, synchronize by pressing the appropriate button. Once you synchronize with a given location, you will be able to fast-travel to that location by selecting it on the map.
Bonnet will be attacked. To get to the street level quickly, press the run button and jump button simultaneously and specify your direction towards the cart with hay, next to Bonnet. You will land safely on the hay and you will come to no harm.
Catch and loot the pickpocket
OPTIONAL OBJECTIVE- knock over the pickpocket
Start chasing the pickpocket. Once you are close enough, you will notice in the upper-right corner of the screen the possibility to knock the enemy over. Then, press the interaction button to perform the action. Then, finish the pickpocket off and run through his pockets by holding down the interaction button.
After you are done, return to Bonnet and continue along your path.
After you reach the tavern, you will start a fight where you will have to defeat several pirates in melee. You especially should pay attention to the instructions on the screen, to learn individual combos. The fight itself should not be too demanding. You should remember about utilizing counter-attacks. If you are cornered, simply escape to the other end of the bar.
Escape and hide
OPTIONAL OBJECTIVE- use the smoke bomb to escape from the fight
There will be soldiers to arrive at the tavern so, you will have to flee. Select the smoke bomb from the inventory and use it by pressing the shot button to blind the nearby soldiers. Once you are not seen by anybody, (no red symbol above the head) you can hide e.g. in the carts with hay or in the bushes, just like in the previous mission. You will find one of these directly in front of the tavern's entrance. Alternatively, you can blend in with the crowd by stopping next to groups of people out in the street. Wait for a moment, until the soldiers give up searching for you, to complete this mission.
