Need help with Contract 02: The Law of the Ocean in Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag? Follow our step-by-step guide to take down the brig and its gunships.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Start the contract in Conttoyor. Once the mission begins, hop into the Jackdaw and sail towards the green objective marker on your map. A short cut-scene will play as you approach the location.
  2. 2
    When you regain control of the Jackdaw, you'll see a brig accompanied by four gunships sailing past. If your mortars are upgraded, use them immediately to damage the gunships before they get too close. This can even take out one or two of them right away.
  3. 3
    After using your mortars, move in to engage the enemy ships. Use your usual tactics of circling and firing broadsides or heavy shot. Pay attention to the narrow channel – a well-placed broadside can hit multiple gunships at once, making it easier to sink them quickly.
  4. 4
    Focus on sinking the gunships first before turning your full attention to the brig.
  5. 5
    Once the brig is sufficiently damaged and incapacitated, approach it to initiate a boarding action. You'll need to defeat 10 of its crew members during the boarding sequence to successfully complete the contract.
Tips
  • If your round shot and cannons are well-upgraded, you can prioritize taking out the Hercules (the brig) and largely ignore the gunships.
  • A heavily upgraded hull means the gunships will do minimal damage to your ship, giving you more leeway in engagements.
