Recorded with Xbox One Game DVR so that's why I'm using Skydrive.

Basically what you do is get some distance, turn the camera around so Edward is facing the screen, and run towards the shanty. It wont fly off.

It's fantastic!

It's the best way! It helped me get that damn shanty in the Nassau swamp ._.

So far I haven't missed a Shanty I've attempted just doing it a logical way.

The Shanty will always take a path that Edward can follow exactly, so if you blindly center your view and just aimlessly run forward as fast as possible towards the glowing shanty, you end up getting them in like 5-10 seconds of running.

another easy way to get the shanty´s , just get to the place where the shanty starts, dont run after it, just wait on the position where it starts. The shanty will be back after 30-40 sec on the same position. So just wait

yeah, but sometimes the freerunning can get sloppy. Like in the Nassau swamp, when freerunning through the trees, sometimes he would try to go up a tree instead of going around and onto the other branch :/

Well, I have not collected all the Shanties just yet. But using the method I described, I've yet to have one elude me. If the Shanties took paths that Edward could not exactly mimic, and had to time grabs at it at certain points, I could see tracking these things down being significantly more difficult. But, I guess whatever works for ya, more power.

When I was developing this practice, I found that if I focused on my environment, worrying about where Edward will jump to, I often got held up. If I instead centered my movement on the shanty itself and just pressed forward, he made a beeline for it and would get it with no issues.

These were driving me up the wall! (Literally, in the game). This method bagged 2 in as many minutes for me, thanks!
