Thanks for putting the time in for doing this guide! I look forward to getting 100% on this game!

I hear some people have success by scanning every single activity of the glitched ones. I had 2 total that didn't say I completed them even though it said 3/3. One was the woodworker. I kept scanning him and it finally gave me the "complete" part in the logbook. Now the problem is my other glitched one was the farmers and I have no clue how many they have. I have probably around 8 or so.

The good news is that my game says I have homestead missions at 100% so I guess it won't be glitching my DNA Tracker.

Great guide as usual Tyger!

[doomey]

To get 100% sync do i need to do the naval missions? Although I enjoy those missions, I was absolutely awful at them. :/

[kinjoking]

yes u need to 100% the naval missions and the peg leg missions. well actually u have to complete 100% everything in the game to get all chievos. anything theres a track stat for, you gotta do it.

[CoregBlue1]

is there any way to lower the difficulty of the homestead mini-games?

its impossible to win on expert.

There are programs you can DL (that are free and perfectly legal) that you can use to beat the computer at the two board games.

Bowls, you're on your own, but I swept the guy in 3 rounds - he didn't get a single point. It's all about getting that blue circle to be as small as possible when you throw the ball - it's like the power/control bars for golf games, only for this it is the precision of your throw, the radius your ball will land in.

Well I'm now at 990/1000 with Common Man glitched, took me 48 Hours on the spot of which 3-4 Hours are me trying to bring it to pop... So 45 Hours is a realistic time for the game, If your really dedicated you can do it in 40 probably^^'

if your first try was the introductary mission for it with Terry then it doesn't count as the win for the achievment unfortunatly

[TheSaferHouse]

It's always good to look up a guide and see your name Tyger, thanks again!

well thats good to hear since i lost the game on in the mission on amateur but won first try on advanced lol.

[Direkin]

Oh nice! Looks like they've put less emphasis on multiplayer.

[DRM0nk]

Thanks, VERY nice walk through I see what you mean about HOURS and HOURS before you get to play the assassins creed we all know :P

[WolfmanStarrk]

Awesome Guide Tyger, this will certainly help me out through out Connor's Adventures in Colonial America.

[Tyger7]

Did an update to the guide and added a bunch of info about what the objectives are in every sequence. I don't know if this is really "needed" though. If not I could probably just delete it and say story related. Thoughts on that?

I also have put in a note that there is a patch coming out. It was planned for/near Thanksgiving (seems kind of ironic right?).

I will be uploading a few maps to find the general stores since they really aren't very obvious. Though, you do have to discover 90% of the land for Frontier challenge, so likely you would have found them anyways.

I do ask, can anyone make a challenge guide? Make a few reserves and start a guide. I do not wish to make one myself to be honest, I really am not enjoying this game much. I have started a Hitman Absolution guide. Can someone at least start one and I'll edit in what needs fixed? I will sticky it and link it in my guide. Or make a full on "100% sync" for everything but sequences short descriptions work. Volunteers please!?

EDIT: Added the pictures for the stores and did a Club Challenge Guide in another thread. Guess there were no takers for making the guide so I just did it myself. I am starting to really hate this game.

[SPEtheridge]

i found that using this java game http://merrelles.com/English.html
using the computer in this to find out which moves i should make in the nine Men's Morris game really help with the original gamer achievement

[Tyger7]

The patch has been released. Glitch reported to be fixed for the problems with Encyclopedia of the Common Man. Sadly anyone who had already scanned all possible activities for whichever they glitched on (usually farmers), they are still out of luck.

This includes me as far as I know. I have scanned so many activities for the farmers I do not think any are left. If there are, they are rare and I will have to spend more hours scanning.

I know I need one more from that miner and Catherine still has to do that butter thing....so let's hope I'm still ok.

[V1ZIONZxBLOOD]

this is a great game with nice achievements but its hard! thankfully your guide will help.

Story related, can't be missed.

...

Mission 3: Hunting Lessons
Objectives:

• Combine bait and snare to catch an animal (3)
• Hunt more than one type of animal
• Air assassinate animals (2)

...

It's the other way round, you have to hunt 3 different types of animals and do the combination of bait and snare only once.

Just a minor thing, that's a great guide as always Tyger! Thank you very much for all the time you put into this stuff.

I don't know whether this is the reason it worked or not, but I sent a bunch of gold out on a convoy and then I bought a full stack of gold from the miner. I then went to Norris and he ended up panning for gold within 5 minutes of me waiting. I assume that's the one you're missing.

The 'Predator' achievement doesn't require you to be on a tree, you can do it in cities/towns on top of the planks you find on buildings.

[CoregBlue1]

i am on oak island right now and i can´t finish this mission because the game won´t register one of the trees.

that happened to anyone else?

[ZERATUL PL]

Which multiplayer gametype gives most points?

[Jesuit007]

I get the most in Manhunt, on average, but sometimes Artifact Assault yields huge numbers.

Also... this game has the worst achievement list of the series by far. I enjoyed getting 4k in the first four, but this was a goddamn pain in the ass. Never again. If optional constraints are built into AC5 I'm not buying it.

[Harrison Drake]

Thanks, Tyger. Always happy to see your name on a guide. Nice to see someone else who believes spelling and grammar are actually important.

[xbfalcon]

Great Guide

[Mgetter]

I just want to know if any achievements are missable. The guide seems to be missing that info.
