Also, on top of the Prins Manor is an Animus Fragment which has been the point of despair to thousands of players around the world. I found the best way to get it is to get to the top of the chimney structure which is on top of the manor and then try to assassinate someone. So attract some attention and wait on top of the structure and when someone comes under you, do an air assassination.
Unnlock the tavern in the middle of town.

After this mission you can go searching in all of the underwater ship wrecks and you'll find Elite Plans to upgrade your ships weapons and armor so you'll be able to take out Legendary Ships if you concentrate after this mission.
After you buy the bell, go to the marked location which is the San Ignacio Wreck and jump in to start the mission.
–Find the Medicine
Open your map and mark each chest and go behind them. Then chest you are looking for is in the wreck of the ship ahead. The sharks are dangerous and if you want to get the sync point you'll have to stick to the floor of the sea and move from within weed to weed.
The area collapses and you need to find an exit. There's an entrance to a water cave from inside the wreck so go thru it and you'll come out with the medicine.
Go into the bell and back to Blackbeard.

Memory 3 – The Seige of Charles-Towne
Sync –
Use sleep darts on 3 Crocodiles
Skin a Crocodile
–Tail the Gunboat
Go behind the gunboat slowly but do not attrack too much attention. When you are asked to sabotage the bell, get off the ship and take it down. Then tail it again and you'll be asked to tail the guards on foot.
While on foot use your eagle vision to locate crocs in your path and put them to sleep – kill and skin one for the sync. This is the best tailing mission in the entire game. The whole setting itself is great around the swamps avoiding crocs and all. While tailing always stay behind the boat – don't go along with it or ahead of it – always stay behind a bit.
From the beginning you need to go to the right from inside hte wreck of a ship – there's a croc here so take care of it. Keep using the high way. When you come to the first set of guards, take the left where the boxs are stacked –
Keep using the top and at the next guard post use the boxes to the the right –
After you get to the last place you'll start an eavesdrop.
–Eavesdrop on the Conversation
Go behind them and after a while you'll be asked to kill the captain so run behind him – this is also the toughest run in the game and might take a couple of tries. During the run, in the beginning you'll come to a slope with a croc at the bottom – you need to hit the jump button while on the slope –
The rest of the way is just avoiding guards.
NOTE: You'll get back to Abstergo Entertainment after this, just follow the pointer and do the deeds asked of you. During hacking you need to get the target number by using the numbers at the bottom by multiplying them –
After your brief stint outside, you'll get back to Nassau.

Land Exploration
Best way to explore islands or lands in general is the sync with the Viewpoints on the map – this will show you all the things you can find including collectibles and treasure chests – locations of animals to hunt and so on. You can then hit "Tab" button to open the map and you'll see everything on it.
Collectibles and Secrets
Ofcourse a large part of the game is all about collectibles and uncovering secrets. Every area you visit in the game has a large variety of collectibles for you – most common are the Chests – they contain small treasure and coin. Viewpoints and Skinning animals are also considered as ccollectibles as the animal you skin will show up in your database so it's needed for full completion – so when you see a new type of animal on the islan you are on, make sure you kill and skin it!
Other Collectibles are Animus Fragments – they are usually suspended in mid-air and to get to them you will need to jump down onto them from a higher place – just mark them on your map and when you get to the location, you should see them, then get up to the place above the fragments and jump down. Secrets are can be Mayan Stelaes or other collectibles including treasure maps you might find as you explore the island.
It is very important that you atleast run around most of the area you are on so that all collectibles will be revealed – also sync with viewpoints for better luck with that. Mayan Stelae are Mayan sculptures you can climb on post which you need to solve a small alignment puzzle and you'll get the location of a buried treasure nearby – dig it out.
Elite Jackdaw Upgrading
You can get elite plans for your ship after the mission 1 of seq 6 where you get the diving bell. All of the important plans for your ship's armor and main weapons are inside chests in the ship wrecks undersea. Some other plans are inside hidden chests for which locations can be got by obtaining Cadavers – all of which are listed in the walkthrough in their respective land explorations.
San Ignacio Wreck – Elite Hull
Antocha Wreck – Elite Mortars (extremely important and often underused)
Devil's Eye Caverns – Elite Swivel Guns
Amberghis Key – Cadaver leading to Elite Heavy shot
La Concepcion Wreck – Elite Ram
Santillas Island – Cadaver (221,247) leading to Elite Fire Barrel

Uncharted Chests and Animus Fragments
These can be difficult to find if you are looking for them one by one by sailing to each small island. And you don't need to do that. Look at this –
They are naval forts, if you destroy their defenses and go inside and kill the commander, you'll own the fort and this will reveal all locations of uncharted things that come under the control of this fort – this is how you can get them all.
The only three uncharted secrets are here –
Harpooning
To start harpooing, open your map and go to the location of sharks or whales in the sea. You'll see a white area in the sea, go in and you can start harpooning. You need to point and shoot at the creatures till they die and before your boat gets destroyed by them – pretty simple.
.
Legendary Ships
These are revealed on the map after you destroy certain Naval Forts – there are a total of 4 locations which are shown on the map but one of the location has two legendary ships. You can hope to take these ship on only and only after your ship's weapons and armor are upgraded to 100% which means you need to gather all Elite Plans for your Hull, Cannons and son on. You can only do this only afer you get the Diving Bell in Sequence 6 Memory 1 of the min storyline.
Also, after you destroy all of the Legenday Ships (you cannot board them so they'll just sink after you destroy them) you'll unlock a special power for the Jackdaw which is the charge attack. This is an extremely useful attack.
Legendary Ship 1
North-West corner
The ship is El Impoluto
The strategy of El Impoluto is to keep ramming into your and this attack is extremely difficult to avoid but you can hope to avoid the ramming once or twice if you are good at manouvering your ship – also you may be able to change the path of the Impoluto if you get in a few good hits. But the main thing is to keep using your mortars when th Impoluto is at a distance and you always need to keep bracing yourself when the Impoluto is going to attack you either wtih it's cannons or the ram. You positively need to brace yourself each time you are attacked and that's the only way to survive – apart from that take any chance you have to shoot at it.
Finally, you may need to do this battle a few times before you can take down the impoluto – just remember to brace yourself at all times especially when it is ramming into you. Also, you need to get behind the ship if possible and attack it from the behind using mortars or anything else possible.
Legendary Ship 2
North-East corner
It's actually two ships – The Royal Sovereign and the HMS Fearless.
At first they maintaing their distance and keep shooting at you – concentrate on one ship and destroy one – ramming is extremely useful. After one ship is destroyed though, the remaining ship gets very aggressive and tries to ram you. This is again like the El Impoluto so keep bracing whenever under fire.
Legendary Ship 3
South-West corner
La Dama Negra
This is on explosive ship. It's strength lies in it's mortar fire. It keeps shooting down mortar fire upon you and it's strength is immense and to avoid the mortar fire – look up in the sky to see the projectiles coming down on you and manouvre your ship around the path of the projectiles. To destory this legendary ship – as the ship just plants itself in one location and fires mortars at you – get really close behind the ship and use heavy shot on it's hind part.
The main trick here is to avoid it's mortars and you can do that by keeping a distance and movouvering around the mortar fire by lookig up at the path of the projectiles or by moving in close to the back part of the ship – I mean you need to kiss it – you can also try to ram the ship but it'll be a bit difficult as you'll probably come under a lot of mortart fire doing this so brace yourself when you cannot avoid the fire.
Legendary Ship 4
South-Eash corner
HMS Prince
This is the largest of the legendary ships and has no particular trait – it fights like a normal vessel but is very very powerful – go behind it and use heavy shot or ram it and move away. Just fight it like a normal ship but do not forget to Brace at all times.
After you destroy all four ships you unlock the Charge Attack for the Jackdaw. To do this attack, hold right click when approaching a ship and hit W twice to charge your ship and ram the enemy – this is a very powerful attack.
.

Sequence 1
.
Memory One: Edward Conway (Prologue)
Cape Bonavista (June 1715)
Move ahead to the wheel and take control of the ship. Time for some cannon fight. Aim the cannons by holding rightclick and you should see a beam of white emanating from your ship – this is the path the cannon's fire will follow so use the mouse to aim around and fire at the enemies. You can also switch to firing swivels – especially useful when enemies are behind you as you can't aim the cannons there. After you take out their ship, swim to the shore ahead and time to search for the assassin.
Find the Assassin
You can easily get lost if you go the wrong way so run ahead the same way the Assassin went – you can explore the whole place later on but for now, let's stick to the trail. You'll come to a wood bridge, cross it and go across the small pond of water and climb the wood structure –
Move ahead and climb another wood structure and move towards the viewpoint you see on the main. Climb the viewpoint tower to the top and sync. Jump down and you'll spot the assassin again. Run behind him and you'll be running to the next viewpoint ahead. Go there and sync again. Once you jump down, you'll be close to the Assassin – make sure you are running in the same path he took because you can miss him easily if you run the wrong way. Once you get close to him, kill him and claim the Assassin's robes.
Find a way to Havana
Move ahead to the Viewpoint and sync up and jump ahead and you'll fall into a haystack. You see several Navy Guards patrolling the area while a merchant is being interrogated ahead. You need to save the merchant.
–Free the Merchant
Best way to go about taking out the enemies is from the haystack you are in, whiste and Assassinate the guard when he gets close – move about thru the bushes and move out of the bushes only when the guards can't see you – take out as many as you can from hiding or until you get bored and then reveal yourself and start the fight. One of the enemies has a gun and when he is about to fire
at you, you will have a prompt asking you to hold "SPACE" to use other enemies as human shields – do this to avoid getting shot and take them out and move close to the merchant to start the conversation.
–Sail out of the Bay
The next bit of work is to get away from this island so before you do that, you may want to get to the collectibles part of this place – read the next section for more info. Swim to the ship and climb on it from it's left in the middle part of the ship. Steer your ship to the next location – careful not to hit any land or sandy protrusions from land – sail around them – you have two speeds you can sail at. W for full speed, S for normal speed. While you are going to the next area you may get a prompt to hit 2 to "Look at Event", hit 2 and you'll see whales jump out of the water – nice!!!
Note: After this memory, you'll be taken out of the Animus and into Absertgo Entertainment so look around and hit E to interact with things and get back in the Animus for now.
.
Cape Bonavista Exploration Mayan Stelae – 1
Viewpoints – 3
Chests – 16
Song Sheets – 1
Animus Fragments – 4
Secrets – 2
All of the collectibles will be marked on the map – the Treasure Map is on the right end of the island which will show up while you are trying to save the merchant –
The treasure map is the first secret and the second is the treasure you dig out after solving the Mayan Stelae puzzle. All other collectibles are marked – note that to get the Song Sheet you will need to run behind it fairly quickly, if you miss it then you get start again – all animus fragments can only be acquired if you jump down on them from a higher spot. To better know the location of whatever you are collecting, make sure you are marking the thing on your map so you'll know if it is below you or above you when you reach the proximity of the place the item is in.
To get the treasure, read the map you get from the dead cadaver –
From the cadaver, move directly opposite into the island – don't stray from a straight path. You will come to a cave like place with water –
Go in and to the left end ahead of the cave is an area where you will find the treasure – you will see the "dig" prompt on the screen when you are near it – it's a bit to the right of the area –
The mayan stelae puzzle solution is like this –
Move around the mouse and use WASD to align the symbol properly – the red this you might see is a Jaguar so you can skin it for an entry in your database later on.
Sequence 2
.
Memory 1: Lively Havana
Havana, Cuba (July 1715)
Follow Stede out and once you get to the weapon smith, buy the British Cutlasses and then since you lost your way, climb the church ahead from the right and sync up. Then Jump down and catch and loot the pickpocket. You will need to tackle the pickpoket with E when you get near him for 100% sync. Get back to Stede and eventually you'll get in a fight – beat up the attackers and you'll learn how to fight here – countering, throwing, knocking out and the lot of the fighting techniques.
–Escape the area and hide
You need to use smoke bombs to escape for 100% sync sp hit 6 to bring up the smoke bombs and F to use them. Then run away – you can look into the map to see how large the red area is and which way you need to run to get out of it soon. You'll end it once you run out of the red area – making sure no one follows you or you can just blend in or hide in a haystack to get the suspicion down. If you escape successfully, you'll end the memory.
.
Memory 2: …And My Sugar?
Sync –
Hire Dancers to distract guards
Stay out of combat
Tail the guards
Once you start the memory you will be asked to spot your targets using eagle vision. Use it and you see the two guys marked in gold glow. Once you come out of eagle vision, you'll still be able to see them even through walls. And you can keep a lot of distance between you and the targets.
Follow them slowly, if they enter restricted areas then just move from the left or right of the areas and keep an eye on them or the countdown starts. There's no need to climb the buildings or anything, just walk along their side.
–Eavesdrop on their conversation
You'll be asked to eavesdrop and when this happens, you can get closer to them. Do so and stay within the eavesdrop circle and you will always find a way to blend in, in the circle. You can run around in the circle from one blend spot to another. You'll reach the gallows and then tail the Captain.
Tail the Captain
After you tail him for a while, you'll be asked to steal the Captain's Key, he'll stop at one spot. Go over the wall and when he is turning the other way, steal his key and go to the next objective.
Sneak to Fort Lockup
The easiest way to sneak is to go to the left of the fort where you find wood beams coming out of the wall –
Use them to get to the top but do not go up on the roof, hang on the edge and move around all the way to the other side where the pointer is pointing. Get up on the roof and go thru the door – if you have avoided combat they you'll get the sync point. Take your stuff and run out and jump over the wall and go to Stede.
.

–Free the Sage
The next marked spot is very very far away and you're sure to get into a fight and lose the first sync point. Best way to get there is to go back to where you started from and go around all the way to the other side and climb the wall to stay out of sight and go thru the door.
.

Free 23 Pirates
Kill 3 guards from behind corners
Use Space to open your bar and get free. Use counter and knockout on the enemies and get to your gear and take it. To get the first sync point you need to go to all of the ships here and release the prisoners on them – they are marked on the map so it'll be easy.
For the second sync point. Let's start on the first ship itself and get behind corners and whistle – when they get near, take them out. After you kill all officers on board, you can free the prisoners. One of the ships has prisoners inside the ship – you can go there using the shutter door on the floor of the deck.
After you release everyone, swim to the marked ship and commandeer it. Take out the other ships around you. You will come across warps in the water, rogue waves and even tornados. Just slow down your ship to go around the warps and tornados and when you are facing rogue waves you need to face the ship head on to avoid damage – use the mini map to align your ship along the line of the rogue wave. Go to the marked location to finish this up.

The 7 secrets are the manuscripts you need to collect – don't go looking for them, just get them when they appear on the map – three of these are very easily found as you move around for missions and the like so. The rest are present in the following locations –
To get the above manuscript – it's nicely hidden inside the fort and there's only one entrance. Go to the right wall of the fort and cling onto the wall and go down, here you should see a open window –
Go in and you can get the chest which is inside the fort. You'll come to another open window thru here. Go thru it and jump on the beams and go thru the next open window and you'll come to the manuscript.
The Shanty's, fragments, chests and viewpoints are already marked so no problems there. The assassins contracts start now. You go to a pigeon coup to get a contract and then execute it. You get additional sync points if you kill the target (whom you need to spot using eagle vision) without starting conflict previously. You can hire dancers or blend in with the croud to distract the soldiers and get to the target – dancers are especially useful as distractions for the guards.
You can find the treasure map here –

See the X to the right? Now open you main map and it is exactly here –
You'll find the fallen tree which is on the drawing of the treasure map, the dig spot is near the tree itself –

Memory 1: This Tyro Captain
Sync –
Shoot an Iguana
Air assassinate an Ocelot
Go to the marked Island – Abaco. Stop the ship and swim to the Island. In the map you'll see the markings of the two animals. Go to each spot and use eagle vision to spot the animals. Shooting an Iguana is easy but air assassinating an Ocelot is diffficult only in the sense that you'll need to get on top of a tree without alerting the animals and wait for one to get close to you – this'll take time. After you get the four skins. Use "Esc" to get into the menu and craft the two things you need. Go back to meet Adewele and you'll complete this memory.

Go to each location and free the slaves – disarm and kill to get the first sync point. For the second sync point, you need to shoot the hanging rope of the guy about to be hanged – this will be the last icon on your map.

Once you get there, talk to the shopkeeper to buy the hull. From now on, you can just go into the cabin on your ship and interact with the ship's figurine there to upgrade your ship.
Memory 4: Raise the Black Flag
Sync –
Plunder a Hunter Ship
Plunder 30 Sugar
Main Objective is to plunder 70 units of metal. Just go around looking for ships with metal in them – usually Frigates and tougher ships only carry metal so you are in for a tough fight if you have not upgraded your ship. Anyway, one ship carrying enough metal can be found if you take the assassination contract on this island and go to the target location.
As for the Sunc points, getting 30 sugar is easy. Taking out a Hunter takes more time. You need to destroy enough ships to get your wanted rating to atleast one full red cross of the schimitars – you can see the current rating directly on top of the health bar. Once it is fully red then you'll soon come across a hunter – just don't sail the ship too quickly and it'll come soon. Hunters are the ships with red sails – you can't miss them. They are powerful enough and come in various sizes depend on your notoriety. They are Brig ships and definitely carry Metal on them.
You can find a Treasure map at this location –

Go down and get near the marked location to eavesdrop – best way to eavesdrop thru the entire time is to stay hidden in bushes – just run from bush to bush while the guy is moving and it'll be easy – this way you can avoid combat for the first sync point. As for the second sync point, once you see the guy reach the warehouse, the first sync is achieved and you'll be asked to find the key to the warehouse – you can start a fight if you want and kill the bell ringers and sabotage the bells – they can be seen on the map.
