Widely renowned as one of the greatestAssassin’s Creedgames in the franchise,Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flagis still a fan favorite for its beautiful visuals, intense naval battles, and gripping storyline. With a huge open world and many settings and characters,Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flagis a massive game that has many secrets and hidden treats for players to explore.

Of course, some of these treats don’t always make it to the full release of the game, and players have to go the extra mile of digging through the game’s code to come across them. Game modding, especiallyAssassin’s Creedmodding, has always been a wonderfully enjoyable experience for the gaming community, as it allows players to use their imagination to create quirky things within their favorite games or even parse through the game’s code to make subtle improvements.

Redditor Captain_Lindemann is part of anAssassin’s Creedmodding Discord, which is a community that works together to create and test different modifications for the game. In the post, they share information in the game’s code that points to dialogue about legendary ships that never made it into the full release of the game. This dialogue sheds more insight into the lore behindAssassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag’s legendary ships, including information about the “HMS Sovereign and HMS Conquest,” which probably became the HMS Royal Sovereign and HMS Fearless after the game’s full release. These two ships are “captained by siblings” whose families were wronged by pirates, and now they sail the seas, waiting for anyone who flies the black flag (pirates) to come and challenge them, hoping for vengeance, but as one part of the dialogue mentions: “Vengeance is a Noble motive, but Rage made them too wild.”

The dialogue also talks about the La Dama Negra, a ship that was meant to turn the tide in the war in Spain’s favor, but unfortunately, she was built too late for that to happen. She is a fortress in the water, which means she is slow – but Captain Kenway and the Jackdaw are very used totaking on forts inAssassin’s Creed Black Flagas well, so that isn’t a problem.

Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag’s naval gameplayis legendary, and many games, likeSkull and Bones,are known to be emulating it or at least trying to build upon the game’s success with it. The four legendary ships in the game are located in the four corners of the map, waiting for players to sail all the way over to them and take on the fierce challenge of defeating them.

Overall,Assassin’s Creed Black Flagis great, partly thanks to the modding community that is able to unearth gems like these pieces of dialogue in the game’s code.

Assassin’s Creed: Black Flagis available now on PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One.
