Note it takes a while to kill off larger animals, and they can still attack/run at full speed until death. All the same, they make hunting trivial. | ||

For Boston/New York this is done in their respective underground locations. You can also unlock fast-travel markers by conquering forts. It's worth looking at a map for the various fast travel points underground if you find them tedious. | ||

* Many of the challenge related instructions are vague or inaccurate. An example of this is "kill 5 animals from horseback" - you'd think shooting game with a bow would be appropriate here, but it isn’t. Instead you have to jump-kill them with your hidden blades. Another one is "disarm 5 opponents" - this means stealing their weapon from them while you yourself are unarmed, not disarming them in general. | * Many of the challenge related instructions are vague or inaccurate.

* There is an achievement for beating one of each game at the homestead. The bowls game near the ship will not count. In their infinite wisdom, Ubisoft implemented almost full AI for centuries-old board games that are easily "solved", meaning almost everyone will find beating an intermediate or higher AI player impossible. Solution? Go online and find programs that run the game with perfect AI (there are a few available, though they're quite old and may require weird things like Java). Install them and "play" their perfect AI's move against AC3's AI. | |||
