In Assassin’s Creed 4, you play as a scallywag of an assassin known as Edward Kenway, who just so happens to be the grandsire of Ratonhnhaké:ton, or Connor. Also moonlighting as a pirate, Edward happens to be rather fond of his ale, being a regular at several Taverns throughout the new world.
When you combine alcohol, masculinity, and months of frustration from being out at sea, it can only really lead to one conclusion; a healthy, red-blooded bar fight. In Black Flag, you can engage in these whenever you come to a new tavern.
The taverns in question are shown on the map if you synchronize the correct viewpoints, if you haven’t then fear not, for we have provided the coordinates for the locations. All the encounters go the same way.
You approach the tavern and interact with the barkeep. Then another person in the bar will bump into you or spill a drink on you and a fight will break out with multiple opponents.
While the cutscene may be different, the result is always the same, and once you’ve beaten up the proper people, you’ll have unlocked the tavern. Doing so at all 8 of the taverns will unlock the ‘Barfly’ achievement/trophy.
