Sequence 03 – Memory 04: Raise the Black Flag

Optional Objectives:

  • Plunder a hunter ship
  • Plunder 30 sugar

 

 Before you set sail, you can explore the Salt Key Bank, earning more money and the ability to buy even more upgrades for your ship later on. When ready, head out and start finding your target using the spy glass. Once you find the ideal ship, put your crew into action and plunder that ship just as you learned from the prior mission. To complete the first optional mission, you need to plunder different ships carrying sugar in case you haven't got enough of that cargo yet from your previous ship boardings.

 

 

After successfully boarding the ship and getting the required number of metal, you'll need to return to Salt Key to lower your wanted level. However, to complete the other optional objective, you'll need to keep your notoriety up and wait until a hunter ship arrives. This ship has red sails , with equally formidable firepower and crew. As your wanted level increases, the type of hunter ships that will engage you will also become more formidable and powerful. For now, use your ship's ultimate weapon – the swivel gun, to deal extra and precise damage once you expose the enemy ships' weak spots when you damage them.

 

Even after incapacitating the hunter ship, don't expect its crew to go down without a fight. You may also lose a few crew members during the clash. Successfully board any hunter ship and the optional objective will be complete.

Once ready, head back to Salt Key and find the local officer. Bribe him for a measly 200R per wanted level to reset it and get a fresh, clean slate. Once that's done, reach the captain's cabin, examine the Jackdaw model and buy the broadside cannons using the metal you collected earlier. You'll also notice that you can freely sell cargo and extra upgrades by accessing the model Jackdaw inside your cabin as well as change your equipment by accessible your gears to the left. After outfitting your ship, exit for a cutscene and the mission will be complete.

 

You're now free to roam, explore and plunder as much you like. It will help getting yourself familiar with the naval battles and even earn cash and materials to upgrade your ship. When ready, sail to Andreas Island in the Eleuthera region to continue with the main story.
