02 - The Gunpowder Plot | Sequence 7 AC IV: Black Flag Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
OPTIONAL OBJECTIVE- Kill four guards in one streak
OPTIONAL OBJECTIVE- Use the blowpipe on ten guards
This mission, predominantly, focuses on action. You need to collect four of five gunpowder barrels. Simply, go through the successive points on the map and cut through the soldiers there. Each of the locations is heavily guarded (the middle one, I guess, has the weakest defense - all of the remaining ones are on the same level, more or less) so, be well prepared in terms of equipment. To complete the first optional objective, you need to kill 4 enemies within one attack streak. The easiest way to complete this one, is to perform it on the soldiers that guard the entrance to the restricted areas, of which there should be four. Provoke them to fight Wait for the moment of attack, counter and press the attack button during slow-motion. Once you kill the first guard, turn towards the second one immediately and press the attack button. You will kill him with one blow also, then turn to the third one and so forth. The streak will break if you are hit so, once you start it, try not to be surrounded or stay near a musketeer, or an officer.
Your second objective is to use 10 darts on enemies. The best method is use berserks on brutes. A good idea is also to put to sleep the gunners that are at a long distance.
During the fights, you should remember to implement all of the basic strategies - countering, breaking defense lines or the human shield. In case of problems, you can use a bomb. Once you have cleared the entire region, collect the barrel and go towards the next one, where you are supposed to fight again. Keep doing that until you have obtained all four barrels, which will equal to the completion of the mission.
