Sequence 08 – Memory 02: Vainglorious Bastards

Optional Objectives:

  • Damage the Royal African Pearl with an upgraded ram
  • Use the fort's defenses to sink a ship.

 

 You know have to travel south to Castillo de Jagua. However, I suggest visiting a harbourmaster first to restock and resupply. When you're ready, fast-travel to Conttyor and sail east towards the new region. You can also take over the fort in that region to clear the map and reveal the locations and other collectibles. Before starting this mission, I suggest capturing the fort  Cabo de Cruz further to the east as it will play an important role in the following main mission.

 

 

After the cutscene, head to the marked location to search for the Royal African Co. Ship. Follow The Ranger to the southeast of the search area and you'll find the docked ship in the nearby islands. Attack it and it will release its sail and attempt to escape.

 

 

Continue dealing as much damage as you can and chase it at full speed. After a while, you'll encounter two enemy ships waiting in the open. You'll have to rescue Vane and his men. After the scene, you'll be alone to fend yourselves against enemy ships and the nearby fort, Cabo de Cruz. New optional objectives will become available as well.

At this point of the game, your ship should have already the upgraded ram purchased and equipped. Just approach the target ship at full speed and ram it to complete the first objective. As for the second, you'll complete this easily if you have captured the nearby fort as suggested earlier. Otherwise, you'll have to lure a ship, preferably a damaged gunboat within the fort's fire range and hope that the fort cannons and mortars sink it. Once you're done with the optional objectives, board the ship and watch the following cutscenes.
