Follow our guide to complete Contract 19: The Poachers in Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag. Learn how to find and eliminate your target for 1000 Reales!
Alright, let's tackle Contract 19, also known as 'The Poachers'. This one's a bit different as it focuses on stealth and a bit of naval travel. We're aiming for a clean takedown to get that bonus cash!
Walkthrough
- 1First things first, accept the contract. A red skull will pop up on your map, pointing you towards Mariguana Island, which is east of your current location. You'll also notice a large red, circular restricted area. Sail over there and find a place to dock your ship.
- 2Once docked, you need to enter that restricted zone and find your target. I usually fast travel to the island if possible, then use Eagle Vision. The target is often found in the settlement, just west of where you docked. Look for him on the wooden walkway that runs right under the island's only viewpoint.
- 3Now, here's where stealth comes in handy. If you can manage to put the guards (the Gunners) to sleep – maybe with a sleep dart if you have them – you can make a run for the water. Swim around the island and approach the dock where your target is patrolling.
- 4Climb up onto the dock when no one's looking and get close to the target.
- 5Once you've got him lined up, just stab him in the face to complete the contract. Easy peasy!
Tips
- Try your absolute best to avoid combat. Staying out of combat is key to earning the bonus 500 Reales.
- Use the environment to your advantage. The wooden walkways and buildings offer plenty of cover.
- Eagle Vision is your best friend here for spotting the target and any nearby guards.
You'll get 1000 Reales for completing the contract, plus an additional 500 Reales if you manage to stay out of combat the entire time. That's 1500 Reales total for a clean run!
