Need help with Contract 07: Private Escort in Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag? Follow our guide to protect the target ship and earn your reward!

Alright, let's get this Contract 07: Private Escort done. This one's a bit tricky, rated 5/5 difficulty, but the reward of 2400 Reales is worth it. We're starting from Dry Tortuga, so get ready to set sail!

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    First things first, we need to find the ship you're supposed to be protecting. Check your map – you'll see a big green zone to the northwest. Head that way. Once you're in the zone, pull out your spyglass and scan around to find the target ship. I spotted mine around co-ordinates 146, 780, but it might move a bit.
  2. 2
    As you get closer, you'll notice the target ship is already taking a beating, probably around half health. Two gunboats are on its tail. You need to move fast! Get in close and use a broadside or your chase cannons to take them out ASAP. Don't let them finish off your charge.
  3. 3
    Once those first two are gone, don't relax just yet. Three more ships will pop up on the horizon, coming from the north. This is where your mortars come in handy. Try to cluster them together with your mortar fire to damage multiple ships at once. When they get closer, switch to your heavy shot and broadsides to finish them off.
  4. 4
    Still not done! As soon as you deal with that second group, another one will appear, this time from the east. This group is a bit tougher, with two brigs and two schooners. Again, use your mortars as they approach. Your best bet is to take out the weaker schooners first before you focus your attention on the bigger brigs.
  5. 5
    Once you've sunk that last group of enemies, you've successfully completed the contract! Good job!
Tips
  • When you're dealing with multiple ships at once, especially the larger groups, don't forget about your mortars. They're perfect for softening them up before they get too close.
  • Prioritize targets! In the later waves, taking out the smaller, faster ships like schooners first can make a big difference in managing the fight.
