Follow our guide to complete The Gunpowder Plot mission in Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag. Learn how to infiltrate, steal gunpowder, and achieve optional objectives.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    The mission begins with four restricted areas marked on your map, each containing a gunpowder store. Your objective is to steal these glowing crates.
  2. 2
    You have two main approaches: stealthily infiltrate each area using your available stealth techniques, or openly engage all enemies before looting the container.
  3. 3
    Pay attention to the optional objectives. One requires you to kill four guards in a single kill streak, and the other involves using 10 blowpipe darts on guards. It's highly recommended to focus on the kill streak objective first, ensuring plenty of enemies are around, before looting the final gunpowder barrel.
  4. 4
    Each of the four locations is straightforward to find and loot. Just make sure you've completed the optional objectives before you grab the last chest.
  5. 5
    Tips for Optional Objectives:
  6. 6
    For the kill streak, ensure there are enough enemies present.
  7. 7
    For the blowpipe dart objective, remember that looting enemy bodies often yields more darts, especially if you're going for a stealthier approach.
  8. 8
    Consider using berserk darts on Brutes to create distractions.
  9. 9
    Sleep darts are effective on Gunners for stealth.
  10. 10
    Once all four gunpowder barrels have been successfully looted, the mission will conclude.
Tips
  • Looting enemy bodies can replenish your blowpipe darts and bullets, which is especially useful for stealthy players.
  • Using berserk darts on Brute enemies can create effective distractions.
  • Sleep darts are a great tool for stealthily taking down Gunners.
  • Prioritize completing the optional objectives before looting the final gunpowder barrel to ensure you don't miss out on the rewards.
