Assassin’s Creed IV Resynced Gunpowder Plot Guide: Tag Every Keg
The Gunpowder Plot is a key mission in Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag Resynced, serving as the 24th step in the main story and the second assignment in Sequence 7. Tasked with outsmarting pirate hunters, Vane and Kenway decide the best approach is to steal gunpowder kegs—and this walkthrough focuses on how to tag each keg, plus a few extra collection-friendly stops along the way.
Key takeaways
- “The Gunpowder Plot” is the 24th main-story mission and the second mission within Sequence 7.
- Vane and Kenway plan to steal gunpowder kegs to deal with the pirate hunters.
- The quest starts at the Nassau tavern after you finish “We Demand a Parlay.”
- You’ll need to use tagging (including vision/eagle-style tagging) to mark barrels and kegs during the stealth route.
- After tagging the final keg, the mission ends and you then go to Charles Vane to move on.
How to start The Gunpowder Plot
Once you’ve completed “We Demand a Parlay,” head to the tavern in Nassau. Speak with Charles Vane to launch the quest, then follow him to the area where the gunpowder is kept.
Before you go loud, rely on your vision to tag the nearby soldiers. From there, move east and eliminate the lone guard stationed outside the tunnel.
Enter the cave and expect multiple guards patrolling. Use the bushes inside to silently take out the guards, then tag the two barrels you find there.
It becomes clear you’ll need additional kegs. Exit the cave through the southeast route and head up the stairs to continue the job.
At the top of the stairs, remove the first guard you encounter.
Now shift toward the southern camp. Climb onto a nearby building so you can use eagle vision, then tag as many guards as you can from above.
Work your way to the first barrel on the northern edge of the camp. Start by taking out the single guard who is positioned facing away from the tent. After that, perform double assassinations on the two guards who are looking toward the keg.
Tag the keg and push south. Get close to the guard hidden near the bushes, then wait for him to step into position so he stands beside the other guard, both facing the cart. Just past them, you should see a brute near the cart.
Eliminate the lone guard first, then double assassinate the two by the keg, and finally take down the brute by the cart. Once you tag the last keg, the mission is complete. Your next step is to locate Vane so you can begin the following mission.
If you haven’t already done it, this is also a good moment to visit the Viewpoint in the east while you’re in the area.
