Follow Edward Kenway and Kidd through the 'This Old Cove' mission in Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag. Learn how to solve the Mayan Stelae puzzle and find the Templar gear.
Walkthrough
- 1You'll start by following Kidd away from the beach along the dirt path you used previously. Keep following her until you reach a glowing stone structure – this is a Mayan Stelae, one of the collectibles you'll find throughout the game. A cutscene will play when you arrive.
- 2After the scene, activate Eagle Vision when prompted and make your way to the very top of the statue. Once you're up there, a mini-game will start. You'll need to align glowing lines and rings with objects in the environment. The game will guide you, but generally, you'll need to place the circle on the tree stump and align the two squares on top of the two square pillars.
- 3Once you've solved the puzzle correctly, the game will exit Eagle Vision and show you the location of an artifact. Head to the waypoint and use the button prompt to dig up the artifact. Another short conversation will happen, and then the game will bring up the world map to show you where all the other Mayan Stelae are located. When you're done, exit the menu.
- 4Now, you'll need to follow Kidd again. Continue through the jungle until she leads you into a man-made structure. Climb the staircase inside to the top, where another cutscene will play.
- 5After the scene, you'll notice some master assassin gear behind a series of locks on the wall. You already have the key to one of these locks. To get the other four keys and the armor, you'll need to complete the Templar Hunt side-missions: Opia Apito, Rhona Dinsmore, Anto, and Vance Travers. You can find more details on these in the side-mission section of the guide.
- 6After a brief chat, the game will display the world map again, showing you the locations for all the Templar Hunt missions. Exit the menu when you're ready.
- 7Finally, exit the building and head back to the docks. Approach the waypoint there for a cutscene that will conclude the mission.
Tips
- The Mayan Stelae puzzles can seem tricky at first, but they become quite straightforward once you get the hang of the alignment mechanic.
- The master assassin gear is definitely worth pursuing early on, as it significantly reduces the damage you take, making combat much more manageable.
