Hungover |
10 |

Drink 10 glasses of rum in a row in a tavern by interacting with the bottle. It’s usually found on the right-hand side of the bar. |
 |
Silence, Fool! |
5 |

Kill a guard as he stands poised (or just begins) to ring an alarm bell. This is easy to accomplish if you visit any warehouse location (Cat Island in particular). |
 |
Mer-man |

Swim for a total of 3km. This is a late-game accomplishment, though you should unlock it in the process of visiting all marked locations on the Caribbean map. |
 |
Thug Life |
30 |
Bronze |
Plunder 30 ships. Dedicated pirates may obtain this as early as Sequence 04. |
 |
Cannon Fodder |
5 |
Bronze |
Recruit a total of 500 crew members. This is a cumulative figure that presumes a fair number of boarding actions, so it will pop up much later than “Thug Life”. |
 |
All Aboard! |
30 |
Bronze |
Complete a full boarding on a brig, a frigate or a man o’ war without losing any crew members. This is easiest during an attack on a brig: if you use your five swivel gun shots wisely, aiming for powder reserves, you can kill the specified 10 enemy sailors before your crew set foot on board. If you are short by a man or two, use pistol fire. |
 |
Siren Song |

 |
Wild West Indies |

Kill four enemies in quick succession using pistols. This requires that you craft all available Pistol Holsters. Attack a group of enemies composed of basic soldiers only, and simply kill four of them in a row with pistol shots. Havana features many suitable locations to achieve this feat. |
 |
Roped In |
10 |
Bronze |
Perform five air assassinations from a swinging rope. This can be achieved during boarding sequences. |
