04 - Raise the Black Flag | Sequence 3 AC IV: Black Flag Guide

Search for the brig out at sea

OPTIONAL OBJECTIVE- loot 30 units of sugar

This mission is similar to the previous one, but this time you will have to enter the lists with some better boats. You need to collect 70 units of metal and 30 of sugar, if you want to complete the bonus objective. Sail into the sea and search for a brig.

The brig will be trying to ram into you

In the case of these vessels, you need, first of all, watch out for the ramming attempts, which will prove to be most fatal for you. Try to avoid colliding with the ship and remember to cower from traditional fire (remember to pay attention to the color of water). You can use the continuous attempts to ram to your advantage, by throwing off a barrel, and destroying it, once the ship comes close. Once you render it immobile, board it just like in the case of the previous one. This time you will have to kill 10 crew members. Continue by searching for some other ships.

Hunter

OPTIONAL OBJECTIVE- plunder hunter

At this stage, you should already be wanted. This is represented by the icons of red, crossed swords above the healthbar. This will mean that special ships are dispatched, whose task is to hunt you down. You can easily recognize them by red sails and crossed swords. These ships, however, are richer than the regular ones so, purposeful increasing of the wanted level may be a good way to profit.

Defeat the hunter and loot it to complete the optional objective. The fight should not be much tougher than the previous ones, because this is the same type of vessel.

Bribe the officer

Return to Salt Key and go for a talk with the officer. By bribing him, you will lose your wanted level and complete this mission.
