Awesome enough, but collect the Viking Armour, and you have a katana wielding Irish Assassin-turned-Templar Viking Pirate.

You start off with quite a few ally ships backing you up going into a storm. The battle itself makes good on this promise. Even its name on the map adds the word 'Epic' in front of 'Legendary Battle' just to warn you that, yes, this is only for the best of the best seafarer in the business. Special mention has to be make for the last Legendary Battle, which only appears after you completed all the other ones.To even the odds, you get some ships accompanying you as well. you take on not just one ship, but sometimes two to three legendary ships, and most are accompanied by other smaller ships. Legendary Ships make a return, except this time, they are Legendary Battles i.e.

Add to that the fact that Full Synch required Shay to completely avoid the small army protecting Hope, and only kill Hope, an assassin with skills that rival Shay's. The poison? Something that stops his heart beating unless he moves. Shay chases and kills Hope whilst he is poisoned.Three, the enemy commander you go up against is none other than Adéwalé, co-star of Black Flag turned Old Master Assassin leader. Two, Templar Grand Master Haytham Kenway accompanies you throughout the whole thing. One, Shay gets the wheel of the HMS Pembroke, a huge Man O' War with enough firepower to decimate anything short of another Man O' War with a few salvos, which you use to obliterate an entire French fleet. "Men O' War" is one long Crowning Moment of Awesome for three reasons.Why is it a Moment of Awesome? Because according to the Full Synch requirments, Shay not only didn't get shot while running from an army with a home turf advantage, he manages to escape an entire city of Assassins without killing anyone. As a result, it seems the entirety of the Homestead's population turn into a Torches and Pitchforks mob to kill him. Doubles as a Tearjerker but when Shay steals the manuscript, Achilles orders him to be killed.While absolutely horrifying, Shay's free-run through the 1755 Lisbon Earthquake is a spectacular display of parkour.He's sick of their hypocritical bullshit and is staying true to the Creed by finding his own morality, and drawing a line. Shay confronting the Assassins after being forced to murder two helpless old men.The fact the Assassins play these murders off as great victories does a great deal to undermine Shay's faith in them. Repeated again with the next assassination target, Samuel Smith, as Shay is forced to kill a man who doesn't fight back or even run.Shay feels disgusted about the whole thing. The subversion? The target is a sickly old man with a month to live who even thanks Shay for quickening his death. A subversion in that after a fairly complex mission of following a ship, acquiring its cargo, infiltrating Mount Vernon (!), and taking down numerous guards with Beserker Darts, you have to kill George Washington's brother.Adéwale calling Haytham out by stating that Edward would be ashamed of what he's become, and that he'd be lucky to be half the man he was.
