Complete walkthrough for the Kabah Ruins in Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag. Find all chests, Animus Fragments, and learn how to navigate the currents.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    From the start, swim north and enter the ruins from above to avoid an eel and grab a chest.
  2. 2
    Swim back past the bell (use it to restore air if needed) and head to the top of the underwater temple.
  3. 3
    Enter the open door at the top for an Animus Fragment.
  4. 4
    Swim down to the front entrance of the temple, go through the door, and stick to the right wall to avoid an eel.
  5. 5
    Find a chest at the back of this room and exit the temple.
  6. 6
    Swim down and right to find an air barrel; ignore it for now and enter the tunnel to its right.
  7. 7
    Grab the chest from behind a Moray Eel and follow the tunnel to an air pocket. Surface here.
  8. 8
    Dive down, continue into the next tunnel, and turn right.
  9. 9
    If the screen shakes, a strong water current will soon push you back; swim into the beams along the floor to be propelled up the tunnel faster between currents.
  10. 10
    Follow the tunnel and enter the alcove on the right to grab a chest.
  11. 11
    Wait for the current to pass, then continue up the tunnel to the right.
  12. 12
    Take the next exit on the right to find an Animus Fragment and an air pocket.
  13. 13
    Backtrack through the tunnels and exit back outside.
  14. 14
    Use the air barrel you ignored earlier.
  15. 15
    Exit and swim to the shipwreck directly opposite the tunnel exit; find another chest below it.
  16. 16
    Pop out the other side and use the air barrel here.
  17. 17
    Swim to the rocks to the right of the nearby temple and take a shortcut.
  18. 18
    Swim down to the seabed and follow the path until you see wreckage on the left; check inside for a chest.
  19. 19
    Exit, use the air barrel outside, and continue southwest past the hull of a ship pointing upwards.
  20. 20
    Turn around and look inside the ship's hull for an Animus Fragment. Use the air barrel here if needed.
  21. 21
    Follow the small tunnel to the right to find another chest.
  22. 22
    Exit the far side and continue to the next air barrel; use it if desired.
  23. 23
    Keep going along the path until you see a small temple-like structure on the left.
  24. 24
    Swim over and look in the hole in the ruin behind it to find the final chest.
  25. 25
    Make your way back to the diving bell and interact with it to return to the Jackdaw.
Tips
  • Burst beams are very useful, especially when swimming into a strong current.
