Ok guys I'm here to tech you how to sail (add) ok to start (add) upgrade your ship (add)

UberTheGamer - 6 years ago

I would recommend that as long as you don't need repairs and aren't trying to lower your wanted level, you should send the ship to the fleet because you can salvage the ships you don't want for gems, which are used to repair ships and speed things up. This way you actually get something out of one if the three options instead of uselessly repairing the ship. Another good point is that if one if the three bars is partially damaged it will regenerate, but if one is taken down completely you need to go to a harbour master or board a ship to repair it.

al-rasheed mohadali - 6 years ago

how to trigger mortar??

Gooey Reacts - 7 years ago

A great tip to make fire barrels useful is when a ship tries to ram you, you can just go as fast as you can, and when they miss you and go behind you, you can literally just shoot fire barrels onto the ship

Renaissance Man - 7 years ago

I keep getting attacked by like 3-4 ships at same time! How can I stop this?

Noisy Empire - 7 years ago

Renaissance Man If they are smaller ships like Gunboats and Schroos Ram A couple and use swivel on them, Make sure to look behind you and drop the barrels when the enemies are close together. Or you can keep following them and chances are, if Water Tornados hit, it will disable them all and you will not have your Red bounty Meter go up. You just simply farm em.

+FightingCowboy nice write up! I am having trouble in first level Raise the black flag getting killed while trying to defeat a frigate as I have no upgrades except for base hull and cannot buy more until I beat the level. Any ideas how to beat that base level when weak ship?

Ssj .Blurr - 7 years ago

How tf do u dodge when they attack

Ssj .Blurr - 7 years ago

+scasny i still cant do it

scasny - 7 years ago

well there are 2 basic moves for 2 basic enemies.1 they try to atack from distance i do the same speeding stoping and fast turns.2 they try to ram you.When they go for me i turn that i am paralel to them speed up so the impact is minimal slow down and use heavy shot turn some more and use fire barel.
If you are playng on a console you have no chance to do such fast moves with a controler.
When you counter 2 3 or sometimes 5 and more enemies you must think very fast and react very fast.I play Black flag 5-6 times so i have lot of experience if you are playng for the first time even with full upgrade ship some thask will sems imposible just spend some time and develop moves that works for you.

Ssj .Blurr - 7 years ago

+scasny i try but its so freakin hard

scasny - 7 years ago

you dont, you just brace for impact to minimized the damage.Best way is to do 8 behinde the ship to avoid damage or big 0 arond the ship if i can draw you a diagram of diferent sailing paths i can make 6 diferent techniques top of my head

El Maxoh - 8 years ago

Hey man I have a question , is it possible to custime the exterior of your ship ? Like the colors of your ship and the interior as well ? Not the sails but everything else ? If so how do you do it ? thx

UnusualNetwork - 8 years ago

You can customise colour of the sails, look of the wheel thingy and some statues for the front part of the ship, not a lot so just search "Assassin's Creed 4 Black Flag - Jackdaw Cosmetic Upgrades" you'll find a vid and see if you like what you see :)

El Maxoh - 8 years ago

with elite heavy shot, can it be fire twice like you can on blsckbeard's ship? or is it automatically fire twice? if not, how can I fire it twice. I have elite heavy shot already btw

last ranger - 8 years ago

broadside can be a co cuz when fire the ships move so i have to use speed or mortar to slow them down then use broadsibe then board

K Stoneburgh - 8 years ago

So what's the deal with your fleet? I've never noticed anything happen after I add ships to my (as far as I know) non existent fleet.

Shaun Moore - 8 years ago

That was a very well spoken and concise video brother. I didn't realize you could tighten the grouping on the round shot. Have you noticed on when boarding bigger ships your counters are glitchy? It happens when there is a lot going on, really annoying when you have a brute and dagger guy fucking you up while you hit counter, lol.

Dream Amram - 8 years ago

How Do I Ram Other Ships? Please Tell Me!

Dream Amram - 8 years ago

Thanks!

K Stoneburgh - 8 years ago

You need to have a ram first then just well you know ram them. You can use the chain shot to stun em for a sec too

Arnel Cayabyab - 8 years ago

Started playing this recently. Thanks for the great tutorial!

Trent Bailey - 8 years ago

I have found that if you are battling a brig, you should use ur heavy shot as they r coming to u and when the r close but not to close go into travel speed for a second or 2 or until it looks like he won't hit u wait for him to be right behind you fire your fire barrels and all 3 should hit

J Royalty - 8 years ago

I don't know if he mentions it in this video (I've yet to watch the whole video) but when battling a fort, take out the boats that attack, but do not board them yet. Leave them until you need health and then go back and board them and select to repair the jackdaw that way you have a health supply sort of. Also those boats will do a lot of damage while you are tackling the fort so its best to get them out of the way in the first place.

Shaun Moore - 8 years ago

That's actually a great strategy, I leave them waiting to board in huge fights and for taking forts too.

bertrum pritchard - 9 years ago

If you are reading this can you do me a favour and make a video on how to talk all the forts around the map because I am stuck

Hi for those who finished this game is it worth playing till the end? I find it kind of boring to be honest /: I just wanna know if it gets any better or if it's gonna stay the same I've only played a few missions so far

thank god i decided to do hull armor first. it goes without saying that it's the most important thing you can have. that, and remembering you have a versatile pool of weapons. use the mortars, use the ram, use the chainshot...i feel like alot of people get stuck trying to use the broadside cannons. also...MOVE MOVE MOVE. always be on the move; drive slower ships nuts. good video.

VegaSands - 9 years ago

Shut the Front Door! I just want to say I adore all the emails I have received. My PC was down for bit. No internet, but I am up and running once more. I took a break from Black Flag because 1 Legendary ship will not go down. Any way I decided to play AC2 to take a break from that noise. I will return to Black Flag after I get this last seal. I made all the jumps up to the advanced wall jump in the last tomb. This one I am struggling with a little due to my timing I think, so I aborted the memory to practice. I think Ezio is feisty but s-o-o-o-o-o cool I love all the different moves you can do with him, in the game that is. So too all the players of Assassin's Creed series keep those videos coming they are a lot of help and I appreciate them. Well got to go don't want to keep Ezio waiting.

as someone who played pirates of the Caribbean online when i was younger, it was unbelievable satisfying to play a game with similar sea combat that has so much greater graphical fidelity and much more engaging and intense fighting.

GeorgePottasium - 9 years ago

That literally was the BEST game I ever played as a child. It was immensely exciting and fun-especially when Jolly Rogers? attacked Tortuga, and the different islands, and everyone had to quickly sail there to stop him.

TheGeneralCheesie - 9 years ago

How long ago did they remove pirates of the caribbean? I tried to go back to it a while ago and was pissed when I found out it was gone

AussieBlokeGordo - 10 years ago

Not a fan of the sailing in AC, for me the last good AC game was Brotherhood. That type of gameplay is the reason I got into AC in the first place, this sailing stuff is just frustrating

Insatiable Chaos - 10 years ago

I have a question. Not too long ago I got this game, I was a very low level with like lvl 1 - 2 cannons and a lvl 2 hull or so, I was exploring, then the sky turned foggy and a ship called El Impoluto appeared and whooped my ass. Any advice?

max hilman - 10 years ago

Ironlungger - 10 years ago

Run! (or SAIL!!! very fast... lol) I can't remember if I tried to fight it, or if you were actually forced to experience that. I just started playing it a couple days ago... I missed what they said about the guns so came to see what the differences were in the "shots".... I'm thinking that Impoluto is one of these Legendary ships I keep hearing about. Having fun now that my stuff is getting up there! Go clear an island or two if you are looking for cash and upgrades. I'm at the point where I need to progress so I can go diving. Good luck and have fun! I know I am!...... PS4 - Ironlungger - Peace

xXxAlmightyForcexXx - 10 years ago

Heres a crazy tip i did to beat high level ships. I get close enough to the ship and get off the ship and swim towards them and kill everyone on the ship. When you swim back to your ship just shoot at the ship and youre ready to board the ship with out fighting the ship.

Bytemare77 - 7 years ago

+Thallanar Rabidtooth And if you sink a ship and get along it you can take it's health (that or it's a glitch i abuse XD)

Thallanar Rabidtooth - 10 years ago

No, you can repair your Jackdaw at a Harbormaster.

weam shaddad - 10 years ago

How u used the Heavy Shots?

Peter - 10 years ago

I didn't know it either, but it looks like you use the heavy shots by simply firing without pressing the "aim" button (L2 on PS4 or LT on Xbone), so simply look to the side then press the fire button. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Plebasaurus Rekt - 10 years ago

Shot broadside whitout aiming, if you aim you dont shot whit the heavy shot

Josh Ly - 10 years ago

When do I unlocked the uplay? Like how i send it to my fleet. I have an account for uplay or do I hav to progress in the story to unlock the fleet

Plebasaurus Rekt - 10 years ago

You earn it in the story, and then you can go in to your jackdaw and then you can manage you fleet

Brandon Barefoot - 10 years ago

I absolutely love that you're playing the Wii U version of this game! (You can see by the button icons) I think it's a really undervalued version of the game for those who can't quite afford "next gen" consoles.

Brandon Barefoot - 10 years ago

Yep, realized that after I had left the video >.<" oops, oh well.

Peter - 10 years ago

He's not, the buttons are for Xbox - A,B,X,Y

AHM0013 - 10 years ago

stupid question, when you fully upgrade the ship what level does it reach?

Eutalyx Livius - 10 years ago

+Thallanar Rabidtooth Nah, i've seen Jackdaw's having green text on 60's Men o' War.

Thallanar Rabidtooth - 10 years ago

Not sure, probably 50 something cuz some Man O' Wars are level 60 and the text is in red. Legendary Ships are around level 75.

James Kaleb Wolfe - 10 years ago

What about upgrading your sails does that even really matter I mean why save your cloth once you've upgraded your crews quarters ?

Thallanar Rabidtooth - 10 years ago

Your sail color does not affect your ship in any way besides appearance. It's totally cosmetic. I just sell all my cloth, wood and metal (rum and sugar too of course) when I can because I can't upgrade my ship anymore.

many people dont understand that heavy shot is the strongest weapon for battle against big ships, i personally go around a ship in circles and spam heavy shot and if it gets far from me i use mortars and keep going with heavy shot, aint that simple? correct me if im wrong. im talking about people who look for glitches and swim to take down legendary ships.

CDG710 - 10 years ago

Considering the lowest level man o war is lvl 36 the mortar full upgraded can't even take half it's health down, you overrate mortars

Prodigystic prodo - 10 years ago

I wish you could upgrade your sails to make your ship faster.
Or upgrade your rudder

Thallanar Rabidtooth - 10 years ago

Yeah, the turning on the Jackdaw is abysmal. Legendary Ships and Man O' Wars turn much quicker and in a smaller radius than the Jackdaw.

James Kaleb Wolfe - 10 years ago

I agree

Stefan Lorde - 10 years ago

This video was very helpful for me in terms of knowing what to do with the Legendary Ships. I believe now, that I know what to do, because when I first went up against a Legendary Ship, I died 3 times trying to run away. Now, BEWARE THE JACKDAW!

XDDX OPKX - 10 years ago

showoff

Justin Cardiel - 10 years ago

I enjoy picking fights with other ships more than playing the main story. I haven't won a battle against a Legendary ship yet. I was obliterated last time I tried fighting one of those big bastards. I'm going to fully upgrade my ship before fighting them again.

david gaudet - 10 years ago

if you dont need the ship for repair or wanted level send it to your fleet even if you dont need it so you can salvage it for the diamonds you use to repair your fleet and open new ports. and when you sink a ship you get half of the cargo it was carrying

jiefrog - 10 years ago

great video Thank you :)

jonathan alten - 10 years ago

His tips suck... ram & use the chain shot then broadside like mad and to make a quick turn, quickly stop your ship while turning the wheel

Shaun Moore - 8 years ago

That defeats the purpose of chain shot.

The Blue Hair Pirates - 8 years ago

His combo is better.

The Unidentified - 10 years ago

Can you show us the Charge Attack move against a convoy or any Man O Wars, I'm very curious about how much damage it does

The Unidentified - 10 years ago

I already beat the game

Thallanar Rabidtooth - 10 years ago

It does an insane amount of damage but it's pretty dumb to get close to a Man O' War unless you have the very best protection on your ship. Man O' Wars have an unimaginably tiny turning radius, they'll broadside you before you can broadside them. Your best bet is to remain at a distance so they can't broadside you. Their mortars don't hurt a lot as long as you have decent protection.

Themeatballer88 - 10 years ago

Thallanar Rabidtooth - 10 years ago

Going to the southern part of the world yields bigger rewards, but also bigger ships. What you're looking for is Frigates and Man O' Wars.. Maybe brigs if you're close to what you need.

Martijn van den Ende - 10 years ago

Thanks, very helpfull.

Joca - 10 years ago

Another tip, if you board a ship, other enemy ships will cease attack, which is useful if the Jackdaw is low on health.

Eugene the Blue Jean - 6 years ago

I once trapped a brig between the jackdaw and another brig I was boarding, that was helpful

XxJoseGamerProxXD Roblox - 7 years ago

Joca I do that with Man O' War

Alexander Torres - 10 years ago

Forr ps3 how do i shot mortar shot

Alexander Torres - 10 years ago

thnks

Joca - 10 years ago

Aim with L2, shoot with R1

KonohanaShuffler - 10 years ago

A useful tip when boarding and using the swivel gun is to use Eagle Vision when you get close. It makes it much easier to spot groups, especially with the Spanish because their yellow clothing blends in fairly well with the wood of the ships

Thallanar Rabidtooth - 10 years ago

Also try to hit the black powder barrels, they explode when your swivels hit them and can easily wipe out the enemy crew before you set foot on their ship.

Chain shot still destroys the sails, you just need to aim it at the sails. I've done it several times before.

TheJonesy1991 - 10 years ago

Would be nice to see your technique on facing a ship like a man o' war without the ram. My ram is n't particularly strong and this technique would lead to obliteration as their cannons are ridiculously powerful.

yeah usually it's use the ram, that causes you to turn a bit, which gives you the option to use the heavy shot, then as you get out of the danger zone you use the swivel guns on those weak spots

Chubzdoomer - 10 years ago

Just wait until your boat is close enough and you'll be able to swing over...

dantesinporno - 10 years ago

You can stop the white whales from damaging your rowboat if you aim straight down in front of your boat and hit it once before it breaches and again as it's body is out of the water. It took 38 harpoons but managed to kill one with just the basic upgrades you don't need any plans for by using this strategy.

im talking about the ones that are to the side of the video and start to play while your video is playing and you just have to pause the video to let it play out. I already know there spam and stupid virus links

TheGerudan - 10 years ago

Am I the only one who thinks, that they made the ship combat too fast and arcade-style? Sure, it shouldn't be like a realistic simulation, but having the ships turn on the spot while standing still or reloading the cannons in like 3 seconds is really stupid and takes away from the potential tactical depth of the combat.

Legendoom - 10 years ago

I thought I was the only one saying this. I 150% agree. Oddly enough the one thing that annoyed me most about AC4 is the biggest thing everybody else liked. The naval combat is way too fast.

Not so much the cannon reload time, but almost everything about the movement of ships in AC3 was better. The Aquila felt like a real ship and not just a motorboat that could zip around. You had to time your shots so they didn't get caught in a wave, and you couldn't adjust the height of the shot. I swear to god that annoyed the hell out of me. Or, when the Aquila fired, it felt like a real broadside, with the shot moving so fast you couldn't see them and not all firing simultaneously.

Dan Corcoran - 10 years ago

+Chubzdoomer ac5 is in japan

Ohmz27 - 10 years ago

I think your right. It's still insanely fun, but it would be nicer if battles were more stretched out and a bit more realistic. Like you said, ships turning very very slow or not at all unless having sails unfurled, and cannon reload time being longer - or perhaps depending on how many crew you have, and perhaps being able to shoot only a few cannons that are loaded if desperate etc. It doesn't seem like sailing would be improved, or perhaps even as big as it is now in AC5, I really hope they work on a pure pirate/naval combat game.

Chubzdoomer - 10 years ago

Agreed, it does feel like it has so much more potential. I hope they improve upon it in AC5 (if sailing returns).

Raymond Blanchard - 10 years ago

Only had this game a week and i cant stay off it.love the sea stuff.great video.learnt a lot of usefull stuff to try next time.never even realised about the close up cannons.having fun at the min trying to take down a fort.amazing and eye opening game.a credit to Ubisoft.

emergcon - 10 years ago

Yeah. Those legendary ships are cheaters ;) how can a manowar outrun a brigg... it cant... most stupid: i have killed the "brothers in arms" without elite upgrades. but they reappered as i had all the elite upgrades. now they absolutly pown me. sux.

as for tactic: in AC3 you realy got an advantage if youre looking at the winddirections. attacing from the "luv" side (windward) was mutch less difficult than attacing from lee. doesnt realy matter now, cuz as i said, those stupid manowars are using a 1200 diesel engine or something.

ps: I work at helmsman at a the three-mast schooner at times...

tapp3r - 10 years ago

Hehe, It took me a whole playthrough of the story before I realized how to use the Swivel Guns! They really do a bad job of explaining it in the game. I was holding shift and then pressing the left mouse button, which instead fired the heavy shot lmao.

PlaySaint - 11 years ago

Awesome Tips I had a question though. Is taking forts as important as it seems? What benefits do I get other than Syn Points?

antonio D - 10 years ago

you can go any where without having to fight, unless you want to

TBrocks13 - 10 years ago

Well, other benifits are that it shows locations (you could just sail to them to discover them, but by taking a fort, it displays them automatically for the area the fort is located at). Also, if you sail too close to a fort that you have not defeated (Spanish or English forts) they will likely fire at you because you are a pirate. So by defeating forts, they won't fire on you, they will fire on the Spanish and English ships and also on Hunter ships.

Ridley On Steroids - 11 years ago

are the controlls less bullshit and enviorments less crash friendly? also is it un-enjoyable to sail as it was in AC3(aka ship taking 10000 years to turn, is slow as shit and not being able to cancel shots) are all the questions i need answered before i start playing because i'll be honest
AC3's sailing was BAAALS

Ridley On Steroids - 10 years ago

man, i will probl'y, i know the graphics are freakin beast

Ridley On Steroids - 11 years ago

okay i played a bit of AC4 and boom my PC laggs so much i can't play it at but i agree jackdaw is a true beauty to control and the sailing is fun

Muffin - 11 years ago

The Jackdaw handles very well and also moves fast. Yes you can cancel shots and you rarely crash. I never crashed much anyway in AC3 so I don't know how it will be for you. Sailing is improved in this game compared to AC3. It should be as you spend most of your time on your ship so making the sailing enjoyable was a must.

darren otoole - 11 years ago

Awesome video m8 helped me sooo much many thanks

Kylene Peter - 11 years ago

why waste successfully captured ships with repairing the Jackdaw when it is full health? I would suggest at least adding it to your fleet and then salvaging it.

Chubzdoomer - 10 years ago

Yep, this is the best option for sure. Unless your ship is damaged to the point of having lost one or more "bars" (or is very close to having lost one or more in the middle of combat) don't bother repairing it -- it's 100% useless and a complete waste of gems that you could've gotten by capturing the ship for your fleet, then later salvaging it. Lowering your Wanted level is quite pointless, too, unless the Wanted level is so high that the Hunter ships are kicking your ass. Otherwise, Hunters are more or less like free resources!

Hey bro, can you do a video like Pro tips for combat on land? That would be awesome

Tonystarkfil - 11 years ago

you didn't talk about how you can effectively use ships, especially smaller ones as "health Packs" when taking down forts or big ships. Enemies all leave you alone once you start boarding, then just complete the boarding, choose repair, and get back to it. Also, repairing fixes one bar on your ship's health, but if you had say, a fraction of health left in your second bar, repairing fixes the second and third fully. Not so if you had only your first bar remaining, even if it's full.

GYES THIS IS ASSASIN CREED 4 BLACK FLAG LIVE PLAY http://www.twitch.tv/tookx

Aaron Wilhoite - 11 years ago

One tip I would suggest is to actually send every ship you can to the fleet when you start out in Uplay and just scrap all the ones that sell for less than 300 gems till you get all your docks unlocked. The game doesn't really explain how to get gems and once I figured that out I am doing better. It's a different system though so maybe you have a video that explains all that. Liked the video though I didn't know about the shotgun feature lol

wherareI - 11 years ago

+PlayaYoungThugz Just as he says in the video set yourself up for a broadside shot at close range but instead of aiming just click the shoot button.

wherareI - 11 years ago

The game is great and I liked Kenway as a character. I liked seeing his evolution as a character. Really the first character we actually see change significantly in the course of one game (Ezio changed plenty but it was over a much longer course) though he was never really a full fledged assassin in my mind. He could be very stealthy when the mission demanded it or he wanted to but he still felt more like a pirate than an assassin at the end of the game. I also thought it was funny that the templars were apparently actually losing for once until apparently you screw the assassins over by helping (sort of) a traitor assassin screw them over by giving information to the Templar (Sorry to anyone who hasn't started playing this yet but seriously it's the first thing that happens in the game so I don't consider it much of a spoiler.)

Azir - 11 years ago

Pro Tip (White Whale): Upgrade your harpoon once, then upgrade the number you can carry. When the whale goes under water and is about to come up, look for bubbles then a rupture (will look like foam), that's where it will rise. Pelt that area with harpoons the moment you see a little of the whale and continue to hit the whale as it emerges from the water. If you connect 3 times with a harpoon it will real away from you, thus taking no damage.

Ethan H - 11 years ago

the chain shot immobilizes them for half a second but it also slows the ship down after that

Ethan H - 11 years ago

to be ultimately brutal, get right behind a ship, fire the chain shot just before you ram them, then heat shot, then just as you pass them, unleash fire barrels, I almost never just put them down, I typically wait until they are right behind me then I basically throw the barrels at them, and that does a ton of damage

Preston Jenkins - 11 years ago

Anders Songe-Møller - 11 years ago

rookieroo24 - 11 years ago

Don't lower your wanted level, just repair or keep the ship for the fleet. Once the Pirate Hunters show up, you will always get metal from them. Most I've seen a ship carry is 100 metal/wood, but when you get nine of those in a row it builds fast.

you are avery helpfull guide! which games are you planning to do guides on in the future?

mryupjup - 11 years ago

what are good tactics to take down legendary ships?

mryupjup - 11 years ago

Another good strategy is when you are in a hard fight take down all the small ships (like forts with ship support) they work as lifes when you are low and bad damaged just speed away and board and repair your ship

mryupjup - 11 years ago

sail in the more dangereus areas and loot them and if you have alot of friends playing this game youll vind more convoys who will drop 10000 gold.

Eric Xu - 11 years ago

In the upgrade menu, what are the icons and numbers on the top? And how do you get more of each?

Roy Dorgelo - 11 years ago

The elite upgrade plans can be obtained by using the diving bell near shipwrecks(you can locate them on the map, search for dive bell icons) and i believe they can be found when you find treasure with treasure maps
