Sequence 5

The Forts

100% objectives:

• Use the mortar to damage the fort
• Use a running assassination to kill the officer

Before the mission begins, the game recommends you to upgrade your mortar. If you do not have the correct items, plunder some ships for some metal then go visit the harbormaster to purchase the second mortar upgrade.

When you start getting towards the fort, they will start shooting their own mortars at your ship. Make sure to use your own mortars on it. Aim for the areas with the red dots. To use your mortar press and hold the L bumper button, aim with your camera, then fire with the R trigger. Be careful about going close to the fort; while you may be able to fire heavy shots, the fort will also fire tons of shots at you. Don't sit in one spot.

After the fort is destroyed, dock and get into the fort. Use your map to find the officer then use a running assassination on him. After that, storm the doors of the war room and kill the man in there.

Taking down forts opens up more areas on the map, it also shows collectibles.

Traveling Salesman
100% objectives:

• Kill gunners (4)
• Kill guards stunned by smoke bombs (5)

Time to tail Prins and Torres through the town. Patience will get this mission done easier and faster, remember that. When following them, be sure to kill off the gunners on the roofs. To kill two birds with one stone, you could use the smoke bombs, then kill them (just make sure that Torres and Prins are farther away).

Reach the mansion to trigger the cut scene where guards will start coming after you. Make sure to use the smoke bombs if you haven't gotten that one yet. Afterwards, chase Kidd and tackle him.

Unmanned

100% objectives:

• Use berserk darts on brutes (2)
• Use sleep darts on gunners (2)

Sneak through the fields making sure to sleep dart at least 2 gunners, and using berserk darts on the brutes. The brutes are the big guys with an axe. Disable 3 alarm bells and get to the mansion. Don't forget to synchronize on top of the mansion. Prins is in the back yard of the mansion under a terrace. After killing him, run out of the mansion grounds and meet up with Mary.

Sequence 6

Diving for Medicines

100% objectives:

• Loot treasure chests (3)
• Avoid being attacked by a shark

Follow Thatch through Nassau, then buy a diving bell from the harbormaster for 5,000R. With the diving bell, you can now explore underwater ship wrecks.

Sail to the ship wreck and be dropped into the ocean at the San Ignacio Wreck. In order to complete the quest, you need to loot four chests. The last one should be in the ship. Get into the closed latch and dive in. After opening the chest, the ship will collapse a little, blocking your way out. Swim through the caves to get out. When you exit the caves, watch out for all of the sharks. Try to hide in patches of seaweed to stay out of sight. Keep an eye on your air meter and move towards your diving bell. 

Devil's Associate

100% objectives:

• Rescue survivors (5)
• Kill guards stunned by smoke bombs (3)

Sail around the restricted area to find the shipwrecked survivors- be sure to pick them up. Sail and dock at Mariguana Island, then help Thatch on shore. Make sure to use smoke bombs and kill the guards stunned by them.

Now to sail the Queen Anne's Revenge. Sail out to find the Man O' War that Thatch wants to go after. Since his ship doesn't have any mortars, heavy shots will be your friend. Don't sink the ship, instead board it. Clear out the guards on the ship to finish the mission.

The Siege of Charles-Towne

100% objectives:

• Use sleep darts on crocodiles (3)
• Skin a crocodile

Meet up with Thatch and talk to him. You need to tail the gunboat sailing through the marsh. Stay out of the ship's sights and the watchtower's sights. Either watch your map or the yellow circle on the water to make sure that you stay out of sight. After getting so far, watch towers will block your way.

Jump off the Jackdaw and take out the guards before they ring the bell, then get back on the ship. Keep on eye on the map- make sure that you don't go the wrong way (I did). After a while longer, you'll have to dock again and walk the rest of the way.

There's crocodiles in the water nearby, be sure to sleep dart them and then skin them. Follow the path, keeping an eye out for crocodiles. After a bit, the gunboat will dock, and you will have to tail and eavesdrop on a guard from the ship. After listening, you'll have to chase after the guy. There's a pretty clear path to take. Take out the captain to finish the mission.

Abstergo 3

Meet up with Melanie and go up the elevator to Olivier's office. When they go into the office, John will contact you again, telling you to hack into more computers. Follow his directions to the office; now you have security clearance 2. Hack into the console. It's pretty easy to figure out. Use the left analog stick to move to another set of numbers and use the right analog stick to move throughout the individual numbers of a set. Pay attention to the number at the top and the one that is above your numbers- they need to match. Play with the numbers or do the math yourself to solve it. 

Exit the security room and head towards where John tells you. Ride the window cleaner's galley to get into Olivier's office. Now, hack his computer. This is puzzle is easy, this time. Avoid the red lines and play frogger. Those lines with dashes through them will occasionally turn red and kill you. Make it all the way to the left side to win. Now, ride the elevator down to the floor level and meet up with those interesting people again. After that, either hack more computers or jump back into the Animus.
