Quink666 Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 (edited) So i have to sink all 3 ship by firing at their powder stores... Been at it for 3 hours now and i have so far been able to expose 1 weak point in 3 hours. This can't be fucking done. I repeat the steps exactly like in videos and never get a weakpoint exposed. Most of the time i just end up on top off the ship because it so fucking wavy. In the videos they just ram straight infront of the ship and get a weakpoint instantly. When i do it it does nothing whatsoever. I have the ram. Tried for 1 hour without it and no result. There has to be another way to expose those weakpoints. The developer can't be this inbred and stupid right? Ramming never works. Tried full speed half speed and stop with the same results, nothing. Anyone have any decent methods for exposing weak points?

Aecesaje_ Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Like loco said you have a higher chance if you hit the ship head on. Only do this mission if you have the ship with everything upgraded and you need luck. I remember spending 4 hours trying to do this on the PS3 and for the PS4 will be no different, just a lot of patience and luck 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have chain shot? Just use that to stop the ships and then park your ship near the very front of theirs, line your shot up with the front side of their ship and fire a cannon at it, it will almost always expose the weak spot every time and you don't need to ram at all. It's actually very easy this way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everytime i try to ram to get a weakpoint my boat end up on top of their because of the fucking waves. These optional objectives must have been made by a fucking moron. No way to reliably get a weakpoint and you have to get one on all 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avatar_Of_Battle Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Yeah this mission is horrible. I did what others said and shot the masts out with chain shot. I did all three then I fired off one broadside into the front, re-positioned myself because of the waves, and fired as many as it took. Most times I ended up sinking the damn things but it finally just worked. Ramming did nothing for me. Every time I opened a weak point with the ram the waves carried one of us into the other and the enemy would just sink. While this game is good to play through, it was not well thought out when it came to the optional objectives overall. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quink666 Posted April 8, 2019 Author Share Posted April 8, 2019 Ok so the fire to the front thing seems to work. Now i just have to win the lottery and get 3 of them. Got 2 weak point kills 2 times in a row. Lucky 4rd i hope 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quink666 Posted April 9, 2019 Author Share Posted April 9, 2019 (edited) fucking 4 hours 30 minutes later for this shit. For anyone attempting this in the future. Use Chain choot and then round shot to the very front from a fairly close distance. Thanks @Gamer-Girls-FTW, @MidnightDragon & @Avatar_Of_Battle for that streategy! No mission in history have ever annoyed me as much as this one. Does anyone know if you need all DLC mission for the 100% trophy? There is 3 extra privateer missions.

MidnightDragon Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 @Quink666 No, think it just is the 12 that were part of the original game. Only Tyranny of King Washington counts for the plat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of them have optional objectives so they should be easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoagie324 Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Thanks for the round shot strategy, guys. I too can confirm that’s the easiest way to get this done. What a pain in the butt mission 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read that they aren't, but I did them before reading that so they were already done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamescush147 Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Yeah this one is a bitch to do. ? I did the Chain shoot, park right in from of the ship, RAM! and stop before I go full ram and smacked right into the ship. Then shoot the exposed area. Takes a while. But I did it this way on the PS3. so... The Flame Shot can also expose the area, but a lot of the time it also hits the rest of the ship sinking it. I actually did two ships that way. Could never do three. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caesar Clown Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Ghost War isn't DLC, it's Uplay exclusive. It shows up in the tracker because you have it, but doesn't count for the trophy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nxt_Incarnate Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 I got this on my first try with fully upgraded ship. What i did was made sure to use the chain shot to stop all 3 ships 1 by 1. and then just come next to the front of each ship and dead stop completely then put half sail and hit the front of them. this opened up their barrels which allowed me to fire my swivel guns at them. I replayed the mission 2 just to test whether it worked out and all the 3 times i did it, the barrels got exposed that way without sinking the ships. Just make sure u don't go full sail and hit the front. Even while just next to them the small ships can sink easily. Also watch out for the waves be ready to duck down while it hits and then go half sail into the front of all 3 ships. Hope this helps. Amongst all the privateer missions The wolves one gave me the most difficulty while trying to protect the 8 merchant ships. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
