Complete all challenges for a single club. This can be a quite lengthy and demanding task, so it’s wise to start working towards the many requirements at an early stage.

Man of the People

20

Silver

Liberate all districts in Boston or New York. This is rather easier to accomplish in the former city, as one of its three districts is freed of Templar influence automatically during a main story Memory.

Tumblehome

10

Bronze

Obtained once you purchase a first upgrade for the Aquila via the ledger found next to each Harbormaster. The Extra Cannon enhancement costs a mere £2,500, and will satisfy this requirement.

Unique Feats

Icon

Name

Trophy

Unlock Condition

Spit Roast

20

Bronze

To achieve this feat, simply assassinate an opponent with a loaded musket, then immediately press / to shoot through the body to kill a second enemy.

Circus Act

10

Bronze

Kill 15 guards with a single cannon shot. This can be achieved during the Battle of Monmouth mission.

Prince of Thieves

10

Bronze

Loot a convoy without killing any of its guards. This is just a simple matter of using unarmed combat throughout the fight.

Predator

10

Bronze

Hang five enemies by using Rope Darts. It’s much easier to accomplish in the Frontier, especially when there are branches that overlook an enemy patrol route.

Whit’s fur ye’ll no go by ye!

10

Bronze

Block a firing line five times by using a human shield. This should be a milestone that you complete very early in the story. If for some reason you do not, create chaos in Boston or New York and accumulate a small army of angry patrols and guards. You should then play the fight purely to complete the requisite human shield moves when firing lines assemble.

Jager Bomb

20

Bronze

After reaching maximum Notoriety, hunt and kill ten Jägers. This can only be accomplished in Boston or New York.

Eye Witness

10

Bronze

Witness a predator (a bear, wolf, bobcat or cougar) killing an enemy. While this may occur automatically during many varied travels through the Frontier, especially if you enjoy hunting, it is something that you can engineer by luring aggressive animals into the path of a patrol.
