4 - Vance | Templar hunts AC IV: Black Flag Guide
Last update: 02 February 2017
Vance is in the Southern part of Nassau but, for the most of the times, it is not him that will task you with assignments.
01. Oh, Brother
Reach the designated area and use the eagle vision. You will notice two people talking to each other. Follow them and eavesdrop on the conversation. You are not going to go through any restricted areas so, you should only focus on remaining undetected.
Finally, the smugglers will stop. Follow them into the marked area and use the eagle vision to find Upton. Climb onto the rooftop and kill Upton by jumping down onto him.
02. The Other Brother
Follow Upton until you have to hide among bushes. After a while, another Vance will arrive. Follow the two and eavesdrop on the conversation. Remember that you need to remain in hiding so, take cover behind crates . You will receive the optional task of eliminating the thief silently for three times. Wait until he comes close to the talking people and stab him in the back. Do not worry about the corpse. Nobody will pay attention.
After a while, the conversation between the brothers ends, and you will have to follow Vance. After a while, he will be joined by a woman. Eavesdrop on their conversation from a safe distance and hide whenever necessary.
Once the conversation finishes, you will have a minute to reach the marked area, find and kill Upton's murderer. Use the eagle vision, find the killer and kill him before the time is up.
03. Upton's Sorrow
Your task is to protect Upton against the drunkards in the Tavern. There are ten of them, but they are not of the strong sort.
After you have defeated them, your next task is to protect Upton. The assassin is drunk so, instead of going ahead, he will be staggering and walking to the sides. At the church, you will be attacked by soldiers. You can use weapons to defeat them.
Another obstacle are the courtesans. You can either pay them or push Upton. The cost is not too steep, only 150 regals so, pay to have this off your head.
A bit further, Upton will stop to relieve his bladder. This will not be taken kindly to, by the guards walking by. Draw your swords and eliminate the threat, while making sure that Upton does not die. If necessary, use smoke grenades that will stun both the guards and Upton. After the fight, and a short conversation, the mission will conclude.
04. Queen of Pirates, King of Fools
Vance is in a big restricted area, close to the place infested by crocodiles. There are a lot of guards here but, they are divided into small groups that are easy to kill. Use the covers and examine the area with the eagle vision to find the assassin. He is in the camp, at the South-Western side of the designated area. Choose your favorite assassination method and kill the traitor.
After the cutscene, Jing Lang will appear. Unlike Vance, she will not want to fight and will try to escape instead. Get her and kill her. After the cutscene, escape from the zone undetected to complete this mission.
