Follow our Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag walkthrough for Memory 03: The Observatory. Learn how to infiltrate, explore, and escape the observatory while completing optional objectives.
Walkthrough
- 1Set your weapon to unarmed for the optional objective.
- 2Enter the first jungle zone. There are three guardians here, all in stalking zones. Use Eagle Vision to locate them and incapacitate them from stalking zones.
- 3Follow the stream uphill to the second zone. Use wooden watch platforms and tree branches to drop down behind guardians and incapacitate them.
- 4Backtrack up the river, climb a tree, and use wooden lookout platforms and branches to reach and incapacitate the remaining guardians in this zone.
- 5Head up the river to the third zone. Use treetop paths and wooden lookout platforms for vantage points. Incapacitate the guardian on a platform first, then use Eagle Vision and platforms/branches to drop behind and incapacitate the others.
- 6If you have completed the optional objective of incapacitating five enemies from stalking zones, you can now use open combat, but keep your fists equipped.
- 7Enter the cave. There are 10-12 guardians here, not hiding but in plain sight on the ground floor, ledges, and side-tunnels. Use Eagle Vision to locate any remaining enemies as the search area narrows.
- 8Return to a jungle setting. Follow the path to the right. Cross the fallen tree bridge and incapacitate the guardian in the stalking zone.
- 9In the clearing before the black stone building, incapacitate the three remaining guardians: one patrolling, one on a higher platform, and one in a stalking zone behind the building.
- 10Follow your allies to the door of the main building.
- 11Pick up the chest and follow your friend through the building to a circular room with a glowing panel. Place the chest below the panel. A cut-scene will follow.
- 12After regaining control in the water, turn around and climb the blocks to reach the circular platform with the glowing panel.
- 13Remember to pick up the Animus Fragment during the escape.
Tips
- Use Eagle Vision frequently to locate guardians, especially in jungle zones where they hide in bushes and trees.
- Guardians can spot you easily, so move when they are crouching between looking.
- Whistling to guardians is not effective as they do not leave their positions.
- Be cautious in caves, as there are limited hiding spots and guardians' darts can inflict significant damage.
- Ensure your fists are equipped at all times if attempting the unarmed optional objective.
