Sequence 03 – Memory 06: Proper Defenses

Optional Objectives:

  • Use one broadside to sink 2 boats
  • Use heavy shot to sink 2 ships.

 

Head to Salt Lagoon. Upon landing, do the usual; synchronize the viewpoint and collect all collectibles first if you want. Hunt some deers here as well to craft a Health Upgrade II. When ready, to your pirate allies for a cutscene.

 

 

After the cutscene, board the Jackdaw and head to the marked location. This is within the restricted area so be prepared in engaging any patrol boats. Use the spyglass to locate the monstrous ship and follow it. Maintain your distance and stay away from its detection range.

 

 

While following the target ship, be careful not to engage or get detected by the patrolling brigs. Continue following the brig until a pirate fleet attacks it. During this scene, you'll also have to avoid mortar fire. Take note of the yellow circles in the water; these indicate incoming mortar fire. Steer away from these and in case it is too late, brace yourselves to minimize the damage.

 

 

After avoiding the incoming mortar fire, you'll have to sink 8 spanish ships. You'll also get two new optional objectives. To complete the first one, you have to line up two ships and sink them at the same time using one volley of broadside cannon fire. These are only gunboats so it should be easy to sink two of them in one broadside shot – more effectively if you have upgraded your ship's weapons.

 

For the second optional objective, you need to have purchased the Heavy Shot upgrade for your ship. You have to get close and look at the main cannons on the deck to use them at close range. You don't need to aim using R1; just get close, move your camera so you' can see the cannons on the deck and fire it within range. This is very effective and can deal devastating damage when you're passing through or manuevering an enemy ship.
