Sequence 3-6: Proper Defenses

Optional Missions:

- Use one broadside to sink 2 boats

- Use heavy shot to sink 2 ships

To start this mission, you'll have to sail to Salt Lagoon. Upon arriving in the island, take your time to synchronize with the viewpoint and collect all collectibles. You can also hunt some deers and skin them so you can craft a Health Upgrade II. You also need to have purchased the Heavy Shot upgrade for your ship to complete one of the optional missions. Once ready, talk to your pirate buddies to activate the mission.

Hop on the Jackdaw and sail to the green-colored area. Your target will be a huge ship called The Arca so search the objective point and use your spyglass to tag it once you've found it. Maintain enough distance while tailing it. Stay away from the detection range of your target and other ships; utilize hard turns to avoid them or just simply stay out of their path. Once the Arca stops and get attacked by another pirate ship, the crew will become aware of your position and will start aiming mortar fire at you in the form of yellow circles on the water. Maneuver your ship away from these circles or if you can't make it in time, brace for impact to minimize the damage.

You will face 8 enemy ships after the target ship escapes. The two optional objectives will become available at this point. For the first objective, you have to line up two ships and destroy them using your broadside cannons. For the second optional objective, you have to get up-close-and-personal with a ship and fire your Heavy Shot. Take note that Heavy Shots don't require aiming; just get close to another ship and "look" at your heavy cannons on deck to "highlight" them and fire them. Destroy two ships at close range to complete this objective.
