Easy boarding

When facing large ships (for example, frigates), position your ship near your target, then swim to the ship and eliminate the crew through close quarters. Afterwards, swim back to the Jackdaw then hit each ship with a single broadside. You will immediately win the boarding sequence that follows.

Easy money

This trick requires a decent amount of hull armor and 10 or more mortar rounds for the Jackdaw ship. Travel to the legendary ship battle in the northeast corner of the map, with the two legendary ships that attack you. You will not be able to defeat both ships without your ship fully upgraded, but you will be able to defeat one if you complete the following steps. When the battle starts, shoot two mortar rounds at the ship you are focusing on while turning around, then release your fire barrels. When they get close, use your heavy shot. Do not get between the two opposing ships or you will quickly be defeated. Once they pass, keep shooting mortars at the ship you are trying to defeat while they are turning around. Repeat the previous steps until you destroy the ship you are focused on. Quickly pick up the loot from the destroyed legendary ship, or else the other ship will ram and sink you quickly. You will get 10,000 Reales and be able to keep it after you die. Repeat this process as many times as desired.

Note: This trick requires the cannon and/or shot upgrades; or upgrades to your chain shot and ram abilities. Also, the Brothers-In-Arms must not have been sunk yet. Start a battle with a group of ships, then sink one of them and ignore the other ships. Collect your loot, then intentionally fail. After respawning, the ship you sunk will also be back with its loot, and you will still have your previously collected loot. Repeat this process as many times as desired to earn 10,000 Reales each time.

Giant squid attack

Swim inside the Antocha shipwreck at coordinates 630,660. While looking out one of the windows you will be able to see a giant squid take down a whale.

Infinite money

Proceed through the main missions until you have access to Sequence 2: Memory 3. Proceed through Sequence 2: Memory 3 until you reach the area where the three templars are standing around a table. The "Pickpocket All Templars" optional objective will appear while standing next to them. Pickpocket all three templars, then pause the game and select the "Reload Last Checkpoint" option. The money you pickpocket from the templars will be saved, and you can pickpocket them again. Repeat this process as many times as desired to get an unlimited amount of money. You can get approximately 35,000 R every seven minutes using this glitch. You can use the money earned from this glitch to easily buy all weapons and gear in the game. Note: You can load any sequence and memory you have completed throughout the game, allowing you to use this trick at any point once you have access to the specified sequence and memory. Additionally, this glitch was done on an unpatched version of the game. After the patch has been applied, the glitch can still be used if done once you reach Sequence 2: Memory 3, but it cannot be done after completing the memory.

The IT Crowd reference

Go to the map near the entrance to the modern-day Abstergo offices. Two co-workers will begin talking about Chicago. Continue listening and they will talk about John from IT. The male co-worker comments that whenever he requests help, John replies with "Have you tried turning it off and on again?", which is a reference to the British comedy The IT Crowd.
