02 - Trust Is Earned | Sequence 9 AC IV: Black Flag Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
First, you will have to face off against five enemy ships, including four weak gunboats. The battle should not be a challenge for you. After you have destroyed all of them, go ashore and run deeper into the island.
When you encounter a unit in the woods, take a shot at the gunpowder barrels around them, to kill all of them quickly. Then, climb onto the bent tree past them and reach the other side of the gates by jumping over trees. There, you will find Roberts.
OPTIONAL OBJECTIVE- free two groups of pirates
You can complete this mission in a standard way, by moving ahead slowly, a group after another, but the faster and easier way is to storm the place. Access the map. You will find two nearby icons that mark the locations of the imprisoned pirates. First, mark the group on the left, then sprint towards the marker on the screen. Along your way, you can kill the soldiers that happen to be there, but the crucial thing is not to stay in one spot for too long, to avoid being spotted by too large a group of soldiers so, keep running at all times and run towards the pirates.
Once you dart into the location where the pirates are being held, the most important thing will be to eliminate the two soldiers aiming at them. Run assassinate both of them. At this point, the pirates are already safe and the will come to no harm, even if the brute throws a grenade towards them. Now, simply kill all of the soldiers around. There is quite a lot of them but, in spite of what it may seem, the fight is not going to be too demanding, especially if you use smoke bombs and the pistol to your advantage. You need to watch out for the gunner on the nearby tower so, use the human shield on a regular basis.
After you kill everybody on the ground, run up onto the tower and kill the musketeer. Afterwards, return to the pirates and free them. Then, mark the second pirate group on the map and repeat.
The situation is identical. Dash ahead, while keeping as far to the side as possible and kill those that you will be able to tackle down, as you go. Then, quickly assassinate the guards who are watching the pirates. Once again, you will have to fight around four, or five, soldiers but, this time, they should be the regular guards. Additionally, you are too far away from the tower and outside of the gunner's reach.
From pirates, keep to the left side of the palisade, to prevent drawing the attention of the soldiers in the middle of the camp. Make it over to the watchtower and throw off the gunner. Then, get onto the rooftop, where there is the synchronization point. From there, jump down into the cart with hay. If anybody has been chasing you, they have lost your trace by now.
Kill Burgess and Cockram
OPTIONAL OBJECTIVE- Double assassinate Burgess and Cockram
From the cart, make it over towards the tower in the middle of the area and climb onto the building shown in the screenshot on the left. On the rooftop, you will find a haystack. Hide in it. It is important that you act quickly now so, do not wait for too long. Even if someone noticed you for a fraction of second, after you climb onto the rooftop and hide in the haystack, you will lose them anyways. The same goes for the gunner on the watchtower.
While in the haystack, activate the eagle vision, Burgess and Cockram should approach from the background. You need to kill them both at a time, if you want to complete the optional objective. Once they reach the street, at which you are hidden, one of them will stay near you, and the other will go behind the house at the other side, just like in the screenshot. After a while, however, he will come back and approach the other one. This will be, virtually, the only good opportunity to complete the bonus objective, because they will rarely be keeping close to each other and, additionally, they will be joined by soldiers, who will make things even more difficult. That is why you should act now!
Once they are close to each other (keep an eye on the red dots) dart out of the haystack and jump down onto them to kill them both. A short cutscene will start. After you watch it, you will still have to listen to Roberts' speech, after which the mission will conclude.
