Optional Objectives:
- Use one broadside to sink two boats
- Use heavy shot to sink two ships
| If you plan to complete the optional objectives you will need to purchase the first Heavy Shot upgrade. |
Sail to Salt Lagoon and land on the east side by the viewpoint, which you should synchronize. This should uncover the Treasure to the south and the Animus Fragment to the north. Continue north to get the other Treasure x2 and then use the trees to the north to get the other Animus Fragment. The corpse on the east beach has another Treasure Map, so get it before you talk to Blackbeard on the beach to start this mission.
Sail to the waypoint and head to the northeast side of the zone, using the spyglass to identify the "El Arca Del Maestro" ship. Stay out of its cone of vision and tail the ship. You will need to avoid the sight of other ships as well, causing you to do some sharp maneuvering, but otherwise the trip should be uneventful.
Once the other pirates, Charles Vane, head for the Galleon and are defeated by Mortar's you will need to avoid the Mortar shots by slowing down and jerking away from the yellow circles. After three rounds of fire you will then be attacked by eight ships.
To get the optional objective, broadside ships while they are close together without aiming, this uses Heavy Shot fire instead of standard fire. It is worth noting that the objective for defeating two ships with one broaddside does not need to be a Heavy Shot, so if you have two ships left at low health, take your time and aim a shot that will hit them both.
