Complete Memory 04: 04 Ship Of His Own in assassins creed iv black flag. Distract guards with dancers and firecrackers, then reach the top of the mast.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Head towards the green marker. When you see guards together, throw firecrackers to lure them, then kill them. Use cover (press the cover button to crouch behind walls or objects) (press the cover button to crouch behind walls or objects) and haystacks as needed while moving towards the tower. You won't be penalized if spotted, but clear enemies quickly with the blunderbuss.
  2. 2
    When within 30 meters of the tower, hire the nearby dancers. Walk them over to the guards near the powder keg and distract them. Other guards will likely join them, allowing you to kill them or steal the keg. Use another firecracker if needed. Ensure you distract at least 4 guards with the dancers to complete an objective.
  3. 3
    Pick up the powder keg and run to the tower. Place the keg on the green light and ignite it. Be aware of the gunner on top of the tower; try to get underneath it or hide in a nearby bush and kill him when he jumps down to inspect the keg.
  4. 4
    Find the blue icon on the minimap (the small circular map in the bottom-left corner of your screen) (the small circular map in the bottom-left corner of your screen) and head there to use the dancers. Distract the guards near the powder kegs with the dancers.
  5. 5
    After the tower explodes, rush to the ship, ignoring guards. Take out the guards on deck and use the hook to launch yourself to the platform with the gunner. Kill him and climb the mast, staying out of sight of the adjacent gunner. Climb the mast to complete the mission.

Side Activities - Liberate a slave ship:

Before progressing the main story, you must liberate a slave ship and rescue at least 150 slaves. Slave ships typically hold around 90 slaves and 10 maroons. They are usually escorted by brigs and a gunboat, which can deal heavy damage. It is best to bombard escorts with mortars from a distance. Only when a ship is severely weakened should you use round or heavy shot to finish them off. Be careful not to hit the slave ship, as this risks killing slaves. Sinking slave convoys will increase your wanted level (the star icons in the top-right showing how aggressively police pursue you) (the star icons in the top-right showing how aggressively police pursue you), and Hunters will start pursuing you after sinking the last ship. Try to reach the slave ship before they arrive. Rescuing slaves unlocks upgrades for Adé and the ship. After rescuing enough slaves, return to Bastienne to start the next mission.

Tips
  • Firecrackers are excellent for luring guards into a group or away from your position.
  • If you fail to distract the guards near the powder keg with dancers, use a firecracker.
  • After the tower explodes, rush to the ship and ignore any guards trying to stop you.
  • When climbing the mast, climb out of sight of the adjacent gunner so he is not fully alerted.
  • When dealing with slave ship escorts, keep your distance and use mortars.
  • If you hit the slave ship while attacking escorts, you risk killing slaves.
  • Sinking slave convoys will greatly increase your wanted level (the star icons in the top-right showing how aggressively police pursue you).
  • Hunters will start pursuing you after sinking the last slave ship.
  • Rescuing slaves unlocks many upgrades for Adé and the ship. Equip the best available at the hideout or merchants around Port-au-Prince.
