Plot synopsis

Plunged into a strange world by the crescent amulet's power, Edward Kenway experiences a vision of him walking in a room filled with tomes. One golden one hits his head and opens up into glimpses of Adam and Eve and pictures of past and future Assassins. While his head begins to ache, he soon finds a memory of Hendrik talking with a monk and how they hid a clue within a grand wooden cross. Soon, the tomes rise and begin to fly and impact Edward.

In reality, the Assassin is paralyzed by the amulet while the mad monk elates at the static Edward. The monk prepares to kill him when the Visayan resistance's leader strikes him with a spear. With the monk bleeding out and calling his attackers "barbarians", the leader tortures him and promises to retake the amulet for his people to end the foreign occupation of their lands. Slashing the monk's chest and killing him, the leader proclaims victory to Lapu-Lapu while Edward regains consciousness.

Disoriented, Edward claims the amulet does not belong to anyone while the leader warns him to leave and offers to spare him. Edward engages the leader in a fight but the latter pushes him back and states that he knows Edward is a "Hidden One". Edward tries to persuade him that his usage of the amulet will make him a slave to it but the man rebuffs him and states that he will kill Edward if he continues to stand in his way.

Elsewhere, Shimazu Saito finally regains consciousness and notices battalions of Spanish soldiers marching in response to the riot earlier. Traveling by rooftops, she begins making her way back to the Fenghuang to escape. However, she notices Edward fighting the resistance warriors and cornered by the leader. Before the leader can land a blow, Saito saves Edward, dropping smoke bombs and telling Edward to leave. Although Edward states the amulet is with the leader, Saito explains that Spanish troops are coming and that his crew needs him more than his quest for the amulet.

In the present, Noa Kim begins to experience a simulation error within the Animus and his heart rate starts to drop. His doctors see his health and synchronization rate deteriorate, and inform Dr. Shimazu Sei of Noa's condition. Shocked, Sei yells out for Noa to snap out of it while Noa remains sweating and motionless.
