Optional Objectives:
- Stay out of combat
- Sabotage 2 alarm bells
This mission will teach you another repeatable activity in the game; warehouse plundering. There are several warehouses in the game which will contain a lot of various cargo. Stealing from warehouses consists of two major tasks: finding the guard holding the key and sneaking through the guards so you can open the warehouse door using the key. You'll also get a bonus reales for successfully doing this without triggering an alarm. One important thing to remember though is that once you started this sequence, you shouldn't leave the area or exit the game. Otherwise, the warehouse in that area will be emptied.
Once there, synchronize the viewpoint and collect the collectibles in the island if you wish. If you're doing some plundering before reaching the island, it will be a good idea to have your wanted level reset by talking to the officer here. It can be quite beneficial to keep your Wanted level up so you can destroy and plunder Hunter ships as they can yield a LOT more goods than ordinary vessels, however, for the sake of 100% synchronization in this mission, you have to ensure that no Hunters will track and engage you to battle.
Talk to Kidd to start the mission. Follow Kidd shortly then climb up the nearby rock. Use your eagle vision to locate the target then tail him. Keep your distance and if you need to get close to him, blend in the crowd or use the vegetation nearby. Wait for him to board his ship then quickly go back to the Jackdaw and follow his ship.
You'll enter restricted waters and you'll have to avoid the patrolling ships' field of view; otherwise you'll get attacked. This is fine and all when you're roaming but it will be hassle when doing a mission. Keep appropriate distance from the target. Speed up if you're getting left behind, decrease speed if you're coming too fast. After successfully passing a few patrol boats, you should be cleared of the optional objective.
Continue following the agent's ship to the plantation in Cat Island and dock there. After docking, leave the ship and run to the agent to keep him in your sight. You'll also have another optional objective and that's to sabotage the alarm bells in the plantation. You'll have to do that later so for now, head to the nearby bush and hide there to eaves drop on your target's conversation.
The target will walk away so you'll have to follow him and maintain enough distance to hear their conversation. Stay hidden in the plants as you tail them. Be careful when you move since there's also a gunner in the watchtower that can spot you.
Continue following the target until he reaches the warehouse. There he'll stop and look for the person holding the key. Use this chance to go back to the alarm bell guarded by a drunk soldier and sabotage it. Be careful since the gunner on the tower can spot you as well. Hide in the vegetation and use that to lure the patrolling guards as well. While doing this, use your eagle vision as you move around to find the key holder and tag him.
You can take your time in this phase of the mission so after sabotaging the first bell, you can head to the north to find the second bell. Go around outside the fence and wait for the agent to walk away before hiding in the pile of leaves or the nearby cabinet. Wait for him to go back and assassinate him.
You can then hide in the bush beside the guard standing beside the alarm bell and take him out when nobody is looking. Finally, sabotage the alarm bell to complete the optional objective and for you to focus on the main mission.
Next, you have to locate the man holding the key. He's patrolling with another guard so it will help to tag them both for now and take out the other guards along the way to make your job easier. Or you can just wait as they pass through the narrow space near the warehouse where you can wait for them to pass and perform a double assassination. Loot the key from the holder's body then go to the warehouse to loot it. You'll also get bonus reale if you didn't trigger any bells. The mission will be complete afterward.
While you're here, might as well clear the map by synchronizing the viewpoint and getting all the collectibles.
