3.Infinite Money Exploit
Complete Sequence 2, Memory 3 ("Mister Walpole, I presume?"). Replay that mission from the Progress Tracker; after pickpocketing the three Templars, choose Reload Last Checkpoint. You keep the money you took; repeat. This way you can bank up to 100,000 Reales per person (in a few minutes).
4.Collectible Locations
- Mayan Stela (16), underwater shipwrecks (13, after Sequence 6-1), elite ship upgrade plans (9) and taverns (8) are at specific coordinates. Synchronizing a region's viewpoints reveals these collectibles on the map.
- Defeat all legendary ships → the Jackdaw's charge ram attack unlocks.
Tip: Against big ships (frigates), pull the Jackdaw alongside, clear the crew in close-quarters combat, then win the boarding sequence instantly with a single broadside.
