Infinite money trick:
---------------------
Reach Sequence 2: Memory 3 and proceed until you reach the area where the three templars
are standing around a table. The "Pickpocket All Templars" optional objective will appear
while standing next to them. Pickpocket all three templars, then pause the game and choose
the "Reload Last Checkpoint" option. The money you pickpocket from the templars will be
saved, and you can pickpocket them again. Repeat this process as many times as desired to
get an infinite amount of money-- about 35,000 R every seven minutes.
Note: this glitch was done on an unpatched version of the game.
All Mayan Stela locations:
--------------------------
Search the indicated locations to find all 16 Mayan Stela puzzles. The first puzzle is
part of DNA Sequence 4: Memory 1 (it cannot be missed). After completing this memory, the
other Mayan Stela puzzles will become available. Some of them are on islands in dangerous
ocean zones; thus, it is recommended to upgrade your ship and continue through the story
to make all locations accessible. You can also view the Mayan Stela locations on your map
if you synchronize the viewpoints of their respective area. To check which ones you have
found, open the progress tracker, and select the "Mayan Stela" tab. It provides an overview
of islands that contain the secret puzzles. Once all 16 puzzles have been solved, travel
to Tulum. There will be a marker on your map saying "Mayan Outfit". Go to that location
in Tulum (70, 405 coordinates), and open the secret door to get the "Vault Raider"
achievement, along with the special Mayan outfit. The following are the exact coordinates
of each Mayan Stela puzzle:
01. Great Inagua: Acquired during DNA Sequence 4: Memory 1
02. Cat Island: 734, 694 coordinates.
03. Matanzas: 343, 642 coordinates.
04. Cape Bonavista: 179, 593 coordinates.

15. Santanillas: 217, 245 coordinates.
16. Santanillas: 221, 242 coordinates.
All tavern locations:
---------------------
Search the indicated locations at the listed coordinates on the world map to find all
eight taverns and get the "Barfly" achievement. Simply walk up to the barkeeper at each
tavern, watch a short cutscene, and defeat the bandits to unlock the tavern. You can see
the taverns on the world map if you synchronize the viewpoints for the respective area.
1. Andreas Island (573, 720 coordinates).
2. Salt Key Bank (496, 629 coordinates).
3. Crooked Island (808, 545 coordinates).
4. Arroyos (192, 565 coordinates).
5. Corozal (37, 266 coordinates).
6. Grand Cayman (392, 325 coordinates).
7. Kingston (623, 172 coordinates).
8. Ile à Vache (839, 137 coordinates).
Easy Boarding:
--------------
If you are going up against big ships (like frigates), position your ship near your target
and then swim to the ship to take the crew out in close quarters combat. When you've done
that, swim back to the Jackdaw and then hit each ship with one broadside. You immediately
win the boarding sequence that follows, without having to go into heavy fighting.
The IT Crowd:
-------------
If you go to the map near the entrance to the modern-day Abstergo offices, you can overhear
two co-workers talking about Chicago. If you wait a minute or two, they will begin talking
about John from IT. The male worker comments that whenever he requests help, John replies
smugly with "Have you tried turning it off and on again?" That appears to be a reference
to the popular British comedy, "The IT Crowd."

Easy 100,000 Money:
------------------
The first requirement is to complete the mission "Mister Walpole, I presume?" which is Sequence 2
Memory 3 of the main story. Once completed and outside of a mission, open your pause menu (Esc key
for PC users), choose Progress Tracker, select Sequence 2, Memory 3, and start a replay of that
same mission. Play the mission normally until you reach the point (after an obvious cut-scene) that
displays an optional objective to pickpocket the three Templars. Once at that point, pickpocket the
three Templars for an average of 750 - 850 Reales. Once pick-pocketed, immediately pause the game
and choose Reload. Reload from last checkpoint. The game will allow you to keep the Reales you earned
and pickpocket the Templars again. Repeat the above steps until you have 100,000 or more Reales.
This can be done in a few minutes time, and 100,000 can easily cover about 20% of the total game's
purchases.
Note: The game developers prevent you from farming any more than 100,000 Reales on your person using
this tactic, so to maximize profit, don't begin farming until you've spent all your previous money to
get as much as you can out of it.
Easy money:
-----------
Note: This trick requires a decent amount of hull armor and 10 or more mortar rounds for the
Jackdaw ship. Travel to the legendary ship battle in the northeast corner of the map, with the
two legendary ships that attack you. You will not be able to defeat both ships without your ship
fully upgraded, but you will be able to defeat one if you complete the following steps. When the
battle starts, shoot two mortar rounds at the ship you are focusing on while turning around, then
release your fire barrels. When they get close, use your heavy shot. Do not get between the two
opposing ships or you will quickly be defeated. Once they pass, keep shooting mortars at the ship
you are trying to defeat while they are turning around. Repeat the previous steps until you destroy
the ship you are focused on. Quickly pick up the loot from the destroyed legendary ship, or else
the other ship will ram and sink you quickly. You will get 10,000 Reales and be able to keep it
after you die. Repeat this process as many times as desired.
Note: This trick requires the cannon and/or shot upgrades; or upgrades to your chain shot and ram
abilities. Also, the Brothers-In-Arms must not have been sunk yet. Start a battle with a group of
ships, then sink one of them and ignore the other ships. Collect your loot, then intentionally fail.
After respawning, the ship you sunk will also be back with its loot, and you will still have your
previously collected loot. Repeat this process as many times as desired to earn 10,000 Reales each
time.
Cheats:
-------

security and even a picture of The Bunker. At the end of the presentation, you will hear that "The
future is in Blume." This is all an Easter egg for Watch_Dogs, another Ubisoft action game that
was in development around the same time.
Easy Boarding:
--------------
If you are going up against big ships (like frigates), position your ship near your target and
then swim to the ship to take the crew out in close quarters combat. When you've done that, swim
back to the Jackdaw and then hit each ship with one broadside. You immediately win the boarding

Use the following trick to make 10,000R in about twenty five minutes by Hunting Crocodiles. While
on the Island of Nassau (Sequence 02), you will have your first opportunity to hunt Crocodiles. You
can find this easily on the map in the water/lagoon/marsh area, notated with a Crocodile symbol. It
is easiest to find this after exposing a few lookout points. The crocodile lagoon is located south
west of the ship dock. Just to the right (east) on the map from the water the crocodiles lurk, you
will find a red enemy zone with a lookout/regeneration point where you can Fast Travel to and
regenerate the crocodiles you killed. This allows you to run back and do it again. Do this twenty
five times to earn an easy 10,000R. To reach the area where it is easy to snipe the two crocodiles
safely from the trees, leap out from the lookout point described above, directly across towards
the crocodile area, and use the trees to go over the water and onto the island area. Stay on the
trees, jumping across them and stay to the left until you reach the top of a tree on the edge of
the water. From here, look down and snipe the two crocs, then jump down to skin them and quickly
Fast Travel back to the lookout. Each run from the lookout point to the two easy to catch crocodiles
takes less than a minute before Fast Traveling back to the lookout point, regenerating the two
crocodiles you killed to hunt and skin again. Do this twenty four more times to get fifty Crocodile
Leathers to sell for 10,000 total.
