Follow our step-by-step walkthrough for Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag's 'The Siege of Charles Towne' memory, including tailing, eavesdropping, and pursuit sections.
Walkthrough
- 1Begin by tailing the gunboat in your ship, the Jackdaw. Stay out of its vision cone and avoid small islands, rocks, and watchtowers. Sail to the left of the first two towers, hugging the land. Slow down to pass between the shore and the watchtower's vision. Continue past the next tower, staying left.
- 2As you approach the fourth watchtower, Edward will prompt you to disembark. Jump to nearby buildings and head left. Traverse platforms and poles to reach the structure with the alarm bell. Climb to the top ledge and dive into the haystack below.
- 3Assassinate the guard near the haystack. Whistle to lure the patrolling guard when he approaches and assassinate him from hiding.
- 4Sabotage the alarm bell by running between the stacks of crates/barrels when no guards are looking. Quickly retreat to avoid detection.
- 5Return to the Jackdaw and sail down the first entrance on your right. Follow the river until you enter the yellow zone on the minimap, where you will disembark to tail the gunboat on foot.
- 6Follow the dock to the end. Turn right and go down the small wooden walkway.
- 7Encounter a crocodile in the water; use a sleep dart and skin it. Continue across the water and enter the wrecked ship's hull. Climb the back wall and shimmy right.
- 8Hop onto the beam, use the branch outside to swing to the log on the water. Use sleep darts on the two crocodiles in the water to complete optional objectives.
- 9Hop to the far side of the river and enter the stalking zone bushes. Climb crates to a ledge, then hop across beams to the left. Exit via a stone archway and wait for the rowboat to pass. Hop across a stone pillar to a stone wall.
- 10Climb the stone wall, jump to the building ahead, and shimmy right while hanging from the ledge. Climb up and jump to a wooden pillar. Traverse beams and a chandelier to reach the far wall, shimmy right, jump through a gap, and drop down.
- 11Move towards the alarm bell, hiding in bushes. Climb crates to an upper platform. Wait for the rowboat to stop and the guard to be taken by a crocodile, then climb the crates.
- 12Jump to the stone wall, use branches to reach the far bank, and enter stalking zone bushes. Wait for the rowboat to dock and eavesdrop on the conversation.
- 13Run to the stone wall closest to the riverbank. As the eavesdropping sequence begins, wait for the targets to pass a gap between two walls, then duck in after them. Follow at a distance, using crates for cover, until a scene plays at the end of the docks.
- 14Pursue the target along the docks. Run up a ramp to the left of the first gate, slide down, and use posts in the water to return to the chase. When guards block the path, run up the ramp to the right.
- 15Catch up to the target above the marketplace. You can either air assassinate him or shoot him with your pistol to end the chase.
Tips
- Tailing the Jackdaw requires slow, steady speed while avoiding obstacles and watchtowers. Be vigilant.
- There are numerous crocodiles in the waters; you should easily meet the optional objective target.
- If you have enough darts, you can follow the boat from the water, using your minimap and Eagle Vision to spot crocodiles.
