Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Follow the slaves into the governor's mansion grounds, dropping the crate when prompted. Stay in line to avoid suspicion.
  2. 2
    Blend in with slaves sawing wood. Adé will speak with them.
  3. 3
    Locate the Governor: Use Eagle Vision to tag guards and identify hiding spots. Knock out guards when their backs are turned, ensuring no other guards are nearby.
  4. 4
    Optional Objective - Kill the Overseer: Identify the overseer (gold in Eagle Vision) near the gate. Wait for guards to separate, then sneak up and eliminate him.
  5. 5
    Continue sneaking through bushes, taking out guards by whistling them over or using corner takedowns.
  6. 6
    Climb the mansion, follow the lower roof, and eavesdrop on the conversation.
  7. 7
    After the first eavesdropping, climb back to the top of the mansion and drop to the lower roof. Wait for a guard to inspect, then climb down into bushes. Whistle the guard over and take him out.
  8. 8
    Eavesdrop again: Return to the previous bushes and follow the house perimeter to the right, staying in bushes.
  9. 9
    Rescue slaves from the barracks: Whistle and take out the two guards by the front steps. Approach the barracks from the left, using bushes. Either lure guards to you or use the bushes to sneak and take them down.
  10. 10
    Exit the mansion grounds towards the green marker and return to Bastienne to complete the mission.

Side Mission - Liberate Wellington Plantation:

  1. Sail to Wellington Plantation. Sink the docked ship using mortars.
  2. Dock and enter the plantation. The objective is to kill 20 overseers.
  3. Use stealth, hiding spots, and whistle mechanics to eliminate overseers. Take advantage of double assassinations.
  4. If needed, use freed slaves as distractions or to assist in removing groups of overseers.
Tips
  • Avoid getting caught at all costs, as alarms lead to instant de-synchronisation.
  • Use Eagle Vision frequently to track guard movements and identify targets.
  • Whistle mechanics are crucial for luring guards away for silent takedowns.
  • Be patient and wait for the right moment to strike, especially when dealing with multiple guards.
  • The Wellington Plantation liberation can be challenging; utilize your freed slaves effectively.
