04 - A Man They Call The Sage | Sequence 2 AC IV: Black Flag Guide

Follow the group

Another short, yet difficult mission where you will have to face quite a lot of enemies. Before you start it, make sure that you have the best possible fighting equipment on you so, it is a good idea to visit a shop. Also, having smoke bombs on you won't harm. After you start, follow the group of Templars.

Defend the Templars

Counter attacks and protect yourself from shots

OPTIONAL OBJECTIVE- use your pistol in a fight

You will soon be attacked by a quite numerous group of assassins. What is even more, you will have to watch out not only for yourself, but also your allies so, you will have to deal with the enemies as quickly as possible. First of all, you need to watch out for the shooters on the roof. You need to remember about the, very useful, option of human shield, to protect yourself against shots using the other enemies. You need to pay attention to the symbols of the shots being loaded and, when it is imminent, make sure that you are standing next to an enemy that you can use to protect yourself, and eliminate him at the same time. You should also remember to use the pistol to complete the bonus objective.

Catch the Sage

An attack from above

OPTIONAL OBJECTIVE- eliminate the Sage from above

Sage will seize the opportunity and try to flee. Follow him and try to be higher than he is at all times, to the extent it is possible. Do not get down to the street level and even if he is, keep to the rooftops. Once you are close to him, use the appropriate button to knock him over. If you are experiencing problems with completing the bonus objective, try to run a directly behind him and climb up a bit onto something once you are catching up with him. It can be a tree, a pole or anything else . It is enough to be not more that 10 cm above the ground. The range of your leap is pretty big so, you should have enough time. Once you start climbing, perform the leap.
