Got to the part when you leave the boat but kept getting spotted and/or croc raped

Ah, I got the croc a couple times. You can try sleep darting them, maybe. I just fought it and then crawled out of the water and didn't lose the targets.

What mini-game? You mean just the concept of sending out ships on missions, or is there more to it? I just started messing with the fleet is why I'm asking

No, just the fleet is the mini game. It has a completely different set of resources and currency (gemstones), so it's a separate mini-game.

If you're looking for pointers, here's what I do: You will build your fleet up initially with schooners, brigs and frigates. Depending on what level you are, man o' wars may be too much right now, unless you waited until late in the story and have upgraded the Jackdaw a good bit.

My final fleet looks something like this, 2 schooners, 2 brigs and then maybe 5 frigates and the rest man o' wars. On a shipping mission, always send the smallest (fastest) ship that has a large enough cargo capacity, so you can save the bigger ones for other missions.

In the battles, there are three slots. The top slot gets a speed boost. Always put a top level (lvl 11, I think) schooner here. It will get off 2 or 3 shots for every one shot from the enemy ships.

The second slot gets a firepower bonus. I usually put a brig here, but a frigate works, too.

The third slot gets an increased resistance to damage, so put your biggest ship here, either a frigate or a man o' war. The enemy usually attacks your bigger ships first, so this one will be a damage sink to protect your smaller, weaker ships.


Once you progress through a few locations, the missions start taking over 8 hours (real-time) to complete, so I usually just do all the battles first and then send out all my ships at once and I'll check it again the next time I'm on.

Hate that I can't get the platinum trophy for this game simply because I'm not going to waste my time getting to lvl 55 in multiplayer. This is one game I would try to get the plat for. Most games are either online or offline for me. Rarely both.

I got destroyed by the one in the top left corner. I'm only 20% in though. Gonna build up the Jackdaw before I try again.

Beat a Man O' War by watching it take on a fleet from Britain. Waited till it was about to start sinking and started firing on it. It turned to me and the others left it alone. Kinda cheap but it worked

Wait until you take over a few forts. It's great to attack your enemy near your own fort. You will be in the fight with the other ship for a short amount of time before your fort just wreaks havoc on it.

Absolutely love this game, picked it up for the 4 a week ago and I am beyond impressed with the gameplay and the graphics are stunning. Trying to finish it up before next Friday with Second Son comes out, but this has been an excellent game thus far.

I picked this up for the XOne a few weeks ago, and finally fired it up last night. Not bad so far. I already like Edward more than Connor.

It is really beautiful on ps4. Sweet to be sailing away on the open sea just living the pirate assassin life.

I need to get working on taking out the legendary ships. I think I have two down but the one that just rams you over and over is ridiculous.

I bought this one and haven't even opened it yet. I got it shortly before Outlast was released so I started playing it instead. Then I went back and played Beyond: Two Souls on PS3. Now I'm working on Tomb Raider. I hope to get to this one before I start on Infamous.
