Anyone else hate "And My Sugar"?

[HouseLyrander]

I remember the first time I tried AC4, I straight up quit when I got to the Fort Lockup section of "And My Sugar". Not only did I have to look up a video walkthrough to find out that no, you're not supposed to go through the front door you just charmed your way past with the ♥♥♥♥♥♥, but rather, you're supposed to forget that you even payed the ♥♥♥♥♥♥ to distract the guards, clamber along a difficult to see set of ledges and beams along the left side, pray that the guard on the wall doesn't decide to look down at the open sea for no reason, and then slink past several tightly packed guard patrols while praying that ANOTHER guard on the roof doesn't spot you. And if you turn off the game at any point, you have to start again from the shadowing tutorial. Did anyone else feel like this mission was a completely broken mess to attempt 100% synchroniozation on or am I the only one?

I figured the front door was a no go as soon as I saw guards walking around the courtyard.
Its a annoying level for so early in the game but its a good crash course in learning the AI. Example. I learned that in this game the guards can't hear you running. Where in prior titles if I was running towards a guard's back they would spin around before I could reach them. Also I could run from cover to cover and was able to learn how much time I had to get out of sight if the guard saw me but before they became fully alert. At one point they'll shrug it off, or they'll head towards the last spot they saw me (which always gets them killed) of they go into full freakout if I wasn't quick enough.

Snipers suck though. Later in the game you get a quiet weapon to deal with them.

If you just killed everybody, yes. But (as I specified above) I tried for 100% Sync which requires not aggroing a single guard

what I do is dive into the water, swim to the other side of the fort, climb up the wall, ledge kill the guard that peeks down, wait for the snipers to move away from the side facing me (and the regular guards look away). Then I pull myself up, walk around the boxes, and open the door. (Custscene). Then I wait for the sniper closest to me to walk towards the inner fort side of the roof, I run and jump in the water.

I 100% that mission everytime. The biggest advantage you have is patience.

i jumped onto a tree branch on the left and then onto the fort from there. no idea how you could not notice that walking in through the front door is a bad idea in a "stealth" game

It took me a couple attempts, but I figured that stealth and patience was rewarded. I do find at some points that I have to attempt missions in different ways to find the winning method. Too, I dislike the saving mechanism. So annoying on PC.
