Piri Reis Missions unavailable

[Wolvyreen]

So I'm aware of the fact that I need to look at the 4 maps on the wall to access the missions for this dude but for some reason, they are still disabled and I can't talk to him either unless it is to Shop.

I tried progressing further in the memories but I'm already passed the first assassin's recruitment mission that teaches you how to recruit but still nothing.

What am I missing...

Any help would be well received.

I take it noone has any answers on this one? :(

So in case anyone has this problem, it became evident that the developers allowed the Piri Reis location to be available on the map before you've done the necessary memory. Just keep doing the memories and eventually one of the memories in SEQUENCE 3 is where Yusaf shows you how to make bombs and then you are redirected to Piri Reis.

I consider this a bug as Piri Reis should only become available after you've done the memory.

Anyhoo. I am sorted now.

To clarify: It's not a bug. It's just story-related. Before Yusuf introduces Ezio to Piri, to him he's just a regular merchant that he can sell his junk to.

Yh, I dont know...Even though he is there, we can get our ingredients from any of the chests and the black market sellers in the city.

I still feel they should only have made him available AFTER the memory. If you search online, there are plenty of confused people. Confusion breaks the immersion and flow of the story.

Just my opinion...

Is this your first playthrough? The only way you would even know of the Piri Reis missions on your first playthrough was if you were caring about your sync level looking in your DNA strand and checklisting everything, not just playing at your own natural pace. Don't do that it makes your experience of the game less fun and leads to moments like you describe of immersion breaking because you are trying to play the story whilst disengaging yourself from it constantly to think about your completion.

Most people I know who played this game either stumbled onto the bomb tutorials accidentally or they never did them and if so the game hardly suffered for it all you miss is a few good dialogue exchanges with Piri and tutorialization that is easily learned through experimenting yourself. I get being annoyed at it I guess I missed the tutorial on my first playthrough and it was kinda weird doing them after I'd done like everything else in the game but it was honestly a nice change of pace and story wise you just need to think of it this way if things like that happen in AC: Chronology is not guaranteed with the animus, you jump back and forth through time all the time, so doing the Piri Reis bomb tutorials at the end doesn't have to mean you ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ up the story it's just you're viewing some of Ezio's earlier memories you may have glossed over to maximize your synchronization with him

No, I actually never go in to my DNA strand at all. I simply played the game and was obtaining all the buildings that could be purchased so that I could have enough money during the playthrough.

I still maintain though, the Piri Reis location should only unlock after you have completed the necessary memories to access those missions.

Just my 2 cents.

Yeah, I agree. Sadly this is the case for many AC games. Despite having entire sequences as introductory tutorials, there are a lot of things that ether are not mentioned at all (you stumble on them accidentally through discovery) or available before the game officially introduces them to you. Codex Pages in AC2 (if you want to clear the map ASAP), Memoir Pages in Revelations, some types of secondary missions in AC3, Assassin Contracts and Mayan Stellae in AC4, lots of things in Unity and so on. So you end up either missing a lot of content on your first playthrough because the game never tells you about it or you complete some of the stuff before the game officially introduces it to you halfway into the game.

Yh, That's why I say it can be confusing and it breaks the immersion.

I feel that we can obtain bomb ingredients from chests and black market vendors and making Piri Reis available as a merchant BEFORE that is very confusing because you see the Piri Reis icon on your map and you think "I wonder what I'm supposed to do here!" And you run around the room and end up searching online for 30 minutes only to learn that he offers missions LATER in the game after a certain memory. I could have used that 30 minutes progressing through the game.

Anyways, no game is perfect but this is something that should never have happened. Remember, just my opinion.
