Use the Fort's defenses to sink a ship

"Use the Fort's defenses to sink a ship" is an optional mission objective in Sequence 8 / Memory 02: Vainglorious Bastards

Walkthrough[edit]

There are 2 ways to pull off this objective. The easiest, and recommended, is to first take the Naval Fort: Cabo de Cruz. This will turn the fort on the ships that are attacking the Jackdaw. Weaken the Schooners and other ships and let the fort finish them off.

The second way involves you pulling a fast one on the fort. Fire on the other ships, weakening them. Be sure that they are chasing you and lure them into the mortar fire coming from the fort. Be sure to brace or be on the edge of it yourself to avoid the worst of the damage you would be taking otherwise. Be sure that the opposing ships are as weak as you can get without sinking them.
