06 - The Treasure Fleet | Sequence 2 AC IV: Black Flag Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
First of all, shake off your shackles by tapping the jump button...
OPTIONAL OBJECTIVE- kill three guards from behind a corner
Right after you start, take cover next to the passage and whistle to attract the guard's attention, and kill him quietly. Your colleague will deal with the other one.
Then, repeat the action with the next one. You do not need to worry about the two in the back.
Hide behind the corner once again when you see the last two to complete the bonus objective. Then, collect your gear and climb the ladder to reach the deck.
Recruit pirates
OPTIONAL OBJECTIVE- free 23 pirates
If you have not yet completed the objective with the killing from behind the corner, there will be plenty of opportunities on the board. First of all, now the game is mainly about combat, Use the attacks from above and run-up attacks for quick elimination of successive opponents. If you find yourself surrounded, run back a bit. Clear the entire deck. You will find a soldier also on top. To get to him, run onto the crane near the main mast. To dismount the mast, jump onto the hook. Once you have cleared the entire ship, approach the pirates and free them.
Use the rope aboard the ship to your advantage to swing over to the other ship quickly and eliminate the soldiers on the bridge straight away. One of them is the huge brute equipped with an axe and grenades. If everything goes well, you will kill him momentarily, by surprise. Still, if you have to fight with him, you should watch out for the grenades and run away from them. Furthermore, his attacks cannot be countered in a traditional way and you can, at best, dodge his attack. The best solution is to try to break his defense (the jump button) and attack the exposed back. You will also find the pistol useful.
After you have cleared the entire deck free the pirates and get to the next ship.
The situation on the next ship is similar. Additionally, you will find here two brutes. To the extent it is possible, attack by surprise and if this fails, try to attack the back. Once you clear the deck, free the pirates and hurry to catch the last ship.
On the deck, there are only the regular soldiers. After you have cleared this area, you need to walk under the deck.
Once down there, cut through several groups until you reach the pirates. The situations should be stable and you should have no problems reaching the end. Once you have freed everyone, return to the upper deck.
Now you will have to kill the captain. Right after you go out, take the rope to swing over to the second ship and kill him, as quickly as possible, from above. You will not need to kill all the rest of the crew. Simply approach the steering wheel and take the control.
Escape the fleet
Start your escape and steer towards the green point. There is definitely too many of the ships for you to fight. Therefore, focus mainly on avoiding taking damage. When you are under the cannon fire, remember to hold down the attack button to cower and keep the damage you take to a minimum. First of all, however, you need to watch out for mortars. Watch the ripples on water and their color. The yellow ones signify the spot that will in a moment be under fire; the red ones mean that you are taking damage and you need to change the course immediately.
You can destroy the gunboats with blazing barrels. To enable them, set the camera so that you see the back of the ship. You aim using the left trigger and shoot them with the right one. To explode them near an enemy ship, you need to give a salvo by holding down the shot button.
Another problem is the high wave coming towards the left board. To withstand it, you need to cut into it with the bow of the ship so, change direction straight away. If you are too late and do not manage to change the course, hold down the attack button to cower and keep damage to a minimum.
The wave will sweep your tail away, but this is not the end to your problems. Now you will have to avoid waterspouts effectively. Watch over the minimap, steer away from the yellow spots and towards the green one. Once you reach your destination, the mission will conclude.
