Optional Objectives:
- Stay out of combat while finding Hornigold
- Air assassinate Hornigold
Sail to the exclamation point to start this memory and then sail northeast toward the main island, trailing the ship. When the ship you were tailing heads south, take position behind the peninsula and wait for the patrol ship to the east to start to turn south and then continue along the coast. When you reach the southern tip of the northern island sail across to the south island and follow its coast around a small island and then north along the search zone to find Hornigold's ship to the north of the large island we started by.
Once you spot Hornigold's ship you no longer need to worry about staying out of combat and will need to focus on sinking the fast schooner. After major damage The Benjamin will crash land on the island and you will have to follow on foot.
There is no penalty for open conflict, as long as it is nowhere near Hornigold, so you can make a stealthy or loud approach (I will be writing this in a non-stealth way). Stop by the Mayan Stela and solve the puzzle for another Mayan Stone and then head for the Animus Fragment, killing the Gunner and men on the opposite side of the water. Head east to a beach and then find a rock the leads up into the trees for a freerun path to another Mayan Stela with a Mayan Stone. Now head southwest to another set of ruins and clear out the guards, especially the Gunner, and then grab the Treasure x2 from under the temple by falling into a gorge on the south side.
Once you reach the final bit of island that Hornigold is on you will need to be more careful, focusing on stealth so you do not ruin your air assassination for the optional objective. Stick to the south side of the ruins and Sleep Dart the Brute and Scout that are in your way. Continue along the south ledge of the island and then enter the lower level of the temple for Treasure x2 and then climb up the pillars on the back side and air assassinate Hornigold.
