Preemptive Strike Trophy in Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag

  • Preemptive Strike

     

    Playing as The Orchid, block 10 abilities from opponents with Sabotage

    How to unlock Preemptive Strike

    You will need to use the Orchid character and the sabotage ability, unlocked at level 28. Enter into a solo Wolfpack mode, the map isn't important but Saba Island is always good. In order to fulfil the requirements for this trophy you must use the sabotage ability on an enemy before they use an ability.
    The best place to do this is during the “Defend the Chests” waves where the enemies who loot the chest use an ability to become invisible, glimmer. Use the sabotage ability on them by pressing and when you get close to them where they would usually go invisible they won’t since you blocked their abilities. It won’t work if you do it after they use their abilities. If you did that action successfully then you should her an "eeeeeee" sound.
    You can also do this on enemies during the infected rounds, the enemies are typically aggressive and tend to use the animus ability once they notice you so you could also make the infected enemies notice you and then use the sabotage ability before they use their ability. Any enemies in red also can use abilities and tend to use them once they notice you so using sabotage before that will also work.
    In theory you could do this in one game but you will most likely mess up the timing so more games will be needed to get the full 10.

    You can also get the sabotages in Discovery Mission 6, it works the same as the "Defend the Chests" waves in Wolfpack.

    This is what the Orchid character looks like incase you have difficulty finding her:

The part with the chests you can go ahead and hit them with sabotage right before the start looting the chest. Or around wave 7 just run around until the enemy sees you, hit them with sabotage, and the they will try to use their ability, then kill them.
  • Is there a way to track this? I swear I've gotten this...I've used Sabotage with her 10+ times but I don't have this trophy yet. Is it glitched or am I just not doing it properly? Any help would be appreciated.
  • #2, you have to actually block an ability from being used.
  • Yeah this one is a real hoot. Took me good and well over 10 tries in a private wolfpack game. I *think* the key here is timing, which is hard as sabotage isn't active forever once it's been used on someone, and you don't know exactly when they'll cloak during chest protection game in wolfpack.
