Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag
Sequence 3 & 4
WARNING: This guide could contain spoilers! Please keep that in mind as you read.
Note: I played the Xbox 360 version.
Sequence 3
This Tyro Captain
100% objectives:
- Shoot an iguana
- Air assassinate an ocelot
Sail to Abaco Island with your new ship to learn the basics of hunting and crafting. Dock and swim to shore to begin. It's easiest to find the animals if you synchronize the viewpoint so that they show up on your map. It's also easier to find the animals if you use your Eagle Vision to locate them; the animals will show up red.
In order to craft your Health Upgrade I, you need to kill and skin 2 iguanas. You will need to kill and skin 2 ocelots for the Pistol Holster II. Once you have gotten them, press start and click on crafting. Then craft the two items. In order to make it easier for you, take the boat on the island back to your ship, the Jackdaw, if it's closer.
Even though it's not related to this quest, I figured that it's related to hunting and crafting. Occasionally, you will see shapes of sharks or whales on your map or even a bunch of birds in the sky. This means that there is a harpooning opportunity there. Stop the ship there to begin. You will be on a row boat with harpoons. Aim with the L trigger and throw with the R trigger. A rope is attached to your boat and the harpoon, so when you hit your target, you will go for a boat ride. Keep hitting it with harpoons, until it either breaks off or you kill it. If the rope breaks, aim for the fish and look about the horizon for it. You'll see it and have an opportunity to throw a harpoon at it. Hit it or it will hit your boat. The sharks and whales are also used for crafting.

Now Hiring
100% objectives:
- Disarm and kill guards (3)
- Shoot the rope to save the pirate
Sail to Nassau to begin this memory, then head to the tavern. Edward decides that he needs some more crew members for the Jackdaw. This memory introduces you to saving pirates to recruit them.
Pick an area that has pirates on your map, then head over. In order to disarm the guard, unequip any weapons by pressing down twice on the directional pad. Go up to the guard and when they try to counter attack, press X, then kill them with their own weapon. Then go up to the pirates and press B.
For some areas, you should be more stealthy or the guards will just shoot the pirates. Don't worry, more save pirate missions will show back up if you fail.
The last pirate area will be towards the fort for an execution. Run up there and be sure to shoot the rope manually (don't shoot the pirate!) and take out the guards. After all this, return the tavern.
Prizes and Plunder
100% objectives:
- Use a swivel to kill sailers (3)
- Plunder 20 rum
Sail to the seas and use your spy glass to locate a ship. To use the spy glass, press the L bumper button and use your analog stick to look around. Once you are close, shoot at it until it is incapacitated then get close and hold down the B button to board the ship. To get the swivel kills, when your crew is in the process of pulling the Jackdaw towards the ship, go to the little gun on your left/right and shoot it at members on the other ship. Kill a certain amount of enemy crew members to be successful. Then repair the Jackdaw.
Sail back out to sea and look for more enemy ships. If you want to plunder 20 rum, specifically look for rum in the ship's inventory in your spy glass. Rum can be sold for more money. Once you are done, sail to Salt Key to finish.
Raise the Black Flag
100% objectives:
- Plunder a hunter ship
- Plunder 30 sugar
Do the same as the last mission by taking down schooners, but try to aim for ones that have metal on board. For the sugar, do the same except look for sugar-carrying boats. When you've taken down enough ships, you should have risen your notoriety. When your notoriety raises, a hunter ship will come after you. They are brigs with red sails. Take it down if you want 100% sync.
When you are finished, buy an upgrade for the Jackdaw. These are located either on shore with the harbormasater shops or on your ship in the captain's quarters.
Sugarcane and Its Yields
100% objectives:
Follow Kidd some more to a hideout that leads to a house and the Templar armor. Guess what unlocks it... the Templar keys. They are side quests that show up in the world. After all this, go to the shore.

Sugarcane and Its Yields
100% objectives:
- Sabotage alarm bells (2)
- Stay out of combat
Head to Andreas Island for this mission to begin. Start by following Kidd for a while, then reach the agent and tail him to his ship. Now, hurry back to your ship, there is a time limit, and follow his boat. Dock your ship at the plantation then eavesdrop on the conversation. When he starts demanding the guards for the keys, start looking for your man. Use Eagle Vision to locate said guard with the key. He tends to walk near the warehouse; loot the key from him. Make sure to sabotage the alarm bells before opening the warehouse. Keep in mind how to do all this: warehouses are awesome to loot.
Proper Defenses
100% objectives:
- Use one broadside to sink boats (2)
- Use heavy shot to sink ships (2)
Begin the memory to find out that you must hunt down a Man O' War, Arca del Maestro . These are tougher ships. Sail towards the green circle and find it within. Make sure to keep your distance and follow it. Stay right outside of the yellow circle around it. Also, make sure to keep clear of other ships.
When the ship stops, another pirate will start attacking it. The Man O' War will react and start attacking you! Avoid those yellow/red circles on the water, that's where the mortar will hit. The ship will escape and backup arrives. Be sure to sink these ships. For the broadside, aim with the L trigger and fire with the R trigger. For the heavy, just fire (close-range) with the R trigger. Once they're all sank, you have finished.
A Single Madman
100% objectives:
- Stay out of combat
- Air assassinate Du Casse
Sail to the island to begin, then swim to shore. Make friends with foliage and whistling to assassinate guards. Try not to get lost in the jungle and just follow the path of guards, taking them out one by one. It takes some patience.
Make it all the way to the town and jump into the ocean to swim to the ship. For the air assassination, be sure to climb up the ship high enough to kill Du Casse. Now, you will have 1 out of 5 Templar keys.
Abstergo 2
Melanie informs you to go visit Olivier in his office. Big news. Head to the elevator and go up to the 15th floor. After chatting it up, John, the IT guy, calls you and tells you to hack a computer. Go back to your work floor and follow your map. Hack into the computer by going up to it, looking to the screen, then pressing B. Honestly I just messed around with combinations until I got it right. When your cursor gets on the green line, go into the line to unlock it. Now, go down to the lobby to deliver the information to some interesting looking girl. Now, back to your computer.
Sequence 4
This Old Cove
No 100% objectives
Follow Kidd and solve the Mayan stelae puzzle. Climb up the glowing statue, activate Eagle Vision, then align the lines with the rocks, trees, or other objects to unlock the location. Dig up the stone when you've figured it out.
Follow Kidd some more to a hideout that leads to a house and the Templar armor. Guess what unlocks it... the Templar keys. They are side quests that show up in the world. After all this, go to the shore.
After this mission is finished, go to your captain's quarters and interact with the map to get Kenway's Fleet. You already have some ships, so send them out on side missions. When an area is more hazardous, you can have your ships fight other one by pressing Y to clear up the waters.
Nothing is True...
100% objectives:
- Knock out assassins (3)
- Loot treasure chests (4)
Sail to Tulum to begin. Be sure to unequip any weapons- you don't want to kill the assassins. This can be a pretty difficult mission. Just keep your patience. Knock them out as you go along, and try to synchronize at the viewpoint to see where all of the treasure chests are located. Eventually, you will meet up with Kidd.
The Sage's Buried Secret
No 100% objectives
Follow Kidd underground. When the bridge collapses, climb up the left wall and hop on the weight to get down. After a while, you two will jump into water. To dive, press B and dive down. Hold R bumper to swim faster, rotate the camera and control Edward with the same controls.
Next is a simple puzzle. Use the wheel in the middle to control pushing the puzzle around. You'll need to match the colors with the weights. When you have it lined up, climb up and get on the higher weight. Eventually, the Sage's face will be revealed.
Overrun and Outnumbered
100% objectives:
- Use sleep darts on guards (8)
- Use berserk darts on guards (8)
This memory can also be annoying. When you begin the mission, Kidd hands you your blowdart. Select it by pressing right on the directional pad. For freeing pirates/assassins, the best strategy that I found was to wipe out the guards with the guns first, then get the rest. Be careful with the berserk darts, I had problems with guards killing prisoners under the influence. If you do shoot a guard with a dart, he will snap out of it if he does not die. Make sure to loot dead guards for more darts and bullets. Keep in mind that you only need to free 14 prisoners.
