Silence, Fool! (Bronze)

Kill a guard ringing a bell.

Alarm bells are located in restricted areas with plantation and warehouses. To get this trophy, you have to get noticed by a guard and let him get to the bell. Before he rings it, kill him with a melee attack. You may want to do this with minimal distractions since it will be harder to get this if you have several guards engaging you in combat.

Simply complete complete all activities. Some activities like in named islands can be completed easily.

 

Vault Raider (Bronze)

Killer whales are usually found in the seas in the middle of the map. It will be easier to hunt sea animals when your harpoon, rowboat and harpoon storage are fully upgraded. The video below shows the harpooning sequence of a bull shark but the method is the same for all sea creatures you can hunt in the game.

Upgrading the Jackdaw requires metal, cloth and wood. These are acquired by plundering other ships or warehouses. These upgrades are available from any harbourmaster or by examining the Jackdaw model inside the captain's cabin on board the ship. The only exception are the Elite upgrades which will require you to explore shipwrecks and deepwater caverns and make you locate the buried treasures.

Once you have unlocked your hideout in Great Inagua, talk to the townsfolk and give them the funds to build their requests. The last set of upgrades are found inside the mansion itself. Head there and pay for the renovations.

Refer to the Computer Hacking Locations section in this guide

 

Roped In (Bronze)

Perform 5 air assassinations from a swinging rope.

The Jackdaw has several ropes you can use to swing to an enemy ship during the boarding process. It will be easier to do this on smaller ships since your ship will have a higher elevation. You can also use the ropes on top of a mast of your ship. Remember that you should keep tapping the attack button while swinging so you can immediately air assassinate anyone in range below.

 

Sharing Is Caring (Bronze)

Share each type of discovery with friends once.

You have to be online to get this. You have to discover a Chest, Royal Convoy or White Whale. A notification will pop up indicating that the discovery has been shared to your friends. It is still unclear whether you need to have an online friend playing the game or not to get this.

 

All Aboard! (Bronze)

Board a ship without losing any crew members.

For this to work, you have to successfully board a ship with at least 10 crew (brig) without losing any of your crew members. Also, you need to be on the enemy ship as well when clearing the deck. Use your swivel guns to bring down several enemies then hop aboard the enemy ship and finish off the remaining number of enemy crew quickly with your pistol or blades.

 

Siren Song (Bronze)

Rescue pirate hostages by distracting enemies with "dancers."

Dancers are only available in major cities. From time to time, “Save pirate” icons will appear in the map. You have to quickly hire a dancer group and lead it to the enemies. You can hire dancers free of charge if you have purchased the Brothel upgrade in your hideout in Great Inagua.
