Connor regularly explored the Frontier, hunting animals that had become infamous, such as a cougar that threatened children from his village in the neighboring valley. He befriended the explorer Daniel Boone, who told him of mysterious and supernatural creatures and events he had witnessed, which Connor would often investigate and discover a logical explanation. He also joined the Boston Brawlers club, eventually winning a tournament, and was also invited to join a Thief's Club after they noticed his pickpocketing skills. Connor also explored the underground tunnels used by the Freemasons in the cities he visited, learning some of their secrets.
Boy Who Cried Wolf
Boy Who Cried Wolf was a virtual representation of one of Ratonhnhaké:ton's genetic memories, relived by Desmond Miles in 2012 through the Animus.
Description
Connor met Daniel Boone at a campsite, who informed him of. Connor decided to investigate.
Dialogue
- Boone: There we was, eight months in the Kentucky frontier trappin' and skinnin' elk - well along my third bale - when they came upon us. No less than a dozen Shawnee hunters had us surrounded at the point of musket and arrow. My bush partner froze up stiff. The fear chilled me the same but I managed to muster what little Shawnee I was knowin'. The leader spoke too quick but I gathered we was poachin', havin' crossed into their territory a month or so hence. Their musket barrels stared us down - the heads of their arrows smilin' sharp at our backs. I bumbled a proposition in busted Shawnee: our full piece - my three bales and my partner's two less a half - in exchange for us quittin' the Shawnee bush on our own legs. Leader nods to his boys. They load up our take and start back into the trees. The honcho stays a spell longer just starin'. Starin' right through us with his two black eyes. And then he was gone. We picked up and set back east the way we came - months of profit lost but our own hides intact. Never saw the Shawnee again but I know they was followin' us. I could feel their eyes on our backs clear to North Carolina...
Connor looked for clues at the Frontiersman camp, and found the corpse of an explorer. A wolf attacked him, but Connor killed it.

Finding the Sasquatch
Finding the Sasquatch was a virtual representation of one of Ratonhnhaké:ton's genetic memories, relived by Desmond Miles in 2012 through the Animus.
Description
Daniel Boone told Connor of a mysterious beast stealing supplies, prompting him to investigate.
Dialogue
- Boone: It stands upright, as a man, but its whole body is covered in a thick pelt. Its gait is slow and lurching - I've seen it with my own two eyes. It's clever, always at a distance or with something between us - like it knows where I'm gonna be before I get there. Things go missing where it goes, that much is certain. All manner of trinket. It took a man's prize antlers clear off his cabin wall. Takes kills outta traps too, wrenching 'em open with his big mitts. Somebody should find it and bring back its head for the world to see.
Connor found the sasquatch's hideout in a cave behind a waterfall, and discovered the beast was just a man.
- Man: Hallo. You're the chap that was down the hill, yes? Welcome! Care for a leg of venison? Maybe a hen? I have some lovely wine, if you like. A Bordeaux!
- Connor: No thank you. Who are you and what is this place?
- Man: I'm just a man and this is my home! Doesn't look like much from the outside but that's sort of the point. Not much of a people person.
- Connor: The locals think you are a demon of some sort.
- Man: Is that what they're saying now? Probably frustrated on account of my naughty little habit. I take things. I know it's wrong, I do, but I just can't help myself. Thing is, I like my privacy. If I gave you some coin, might you keep my home a secret? I'd be much obliged.

The Haunted Lighthouse
The Haunted Lighthouse was a virtual representation of one of Ratonhnhaké:ton's genetic memories, relived by Desmond Miles in 2012 through the Animus.
Description
Daniel Boone told Connor about ghosts in the Boston Light, prompting him to investigate.
Dialogue
- Boone: I'd been out in the puckerbrush for six weeks. Game was scarce in the area and my belly needed fillin' so a broke for the coast and some crab or lobster from the tide pools. That's when I saw it. A lighthouse said to have been abandoned years ago, but there it was fires a burnin'. Then the sound happened. A moaning in the wind. My heart crept up my throat so high I could taste it. Just then a ten point buck started and I took after it. Got the buck but never went back to the lighthouse. Spirits in there I wager, and I'd challenge any man to set foot inside.
Connor sought to find the ghost near the Lighthouse. He approached it and eavesdropped on two men.
- Local: Crying in the wind. I've heard it. My wife heard it, it's there, no mistaking it. Spirits.
Connor climbed to the top of the lighthouse and found the Fake Ghost, a cloth placed on a log.

The Headless Horseman
The Headless Horseman was a virtual representation of one of Ratonhnhaké:ton's genetic memories, relived by Desmond Miles in 2012 through the Animus.
Description
Daniel Boone told Connor about the Headless Horseman.
Dialogue
- Boone: I've never seen him myself but I've heard the stories from here to Kentucky. A German mercenary - Hessians is what they call 'em - was fighting a battle when a cannonball took his head clean off. His whole battalion was routed and they lost the encounter. But the lad didn't die. He's been wandering the bush on horseback around the battlefield ever since, searching for his head, chasin' innocents when he sees 'em, taking their domes for his own. He wears a pumpkin for a head now, until he finds what he's looking for. Like I said, I haven't seen 'em, but I have seen the bodies he leaves lying about, headless and grotesque. God rest their souls.
Connor looked for clues leading to the Headless Horseman. He found a victim's corpse, and spotted the Headless Horseman laughing as he rode away.

Monster of the Sea
Monster of the Sea was a virtual representation of one of Ratonhnhaké:ton's genetic memories, relived by Desmond Miles in 2012 through the Animus.
Description
Connor met Daniel Boone in a tavern.
Dialogue
- Boone: I'm not one for sailing but I know it's out there. Some call it a kraken, others just a sea monster. They say it's fifty feet long if it's an inch and it rolls ships for sport. You won't find me out on the high seas searching for the beast, that's a guarantee I can give you, but it's a riddle that needs solving.
Connor began eavesdropping on conversations around town.
- Civilian 1: You seen the serpent?
- Civilian 2: You bet your arse I've seen the serpent. Thing was horrifying.
- Civilian 1: Where was it?
- Civilian 2: Just out past the breakwater. Came up to the surface to have a look then plunged right back down again. The parts I saw was thirty feet, who knows how much remained under water?
- Civilian 3: Jack says there's an old man that's always around when the beast appears.
- Civilian 4: Jack's say a lot of things.
- Civilian 3: But this be one I believe. They say he commands the thing.
- Civilian 4: Pfff. Some old man ordering a kraken about. What a bunch o' fluff.
- Civilian 3: Dunno, mate. A lot o' men I trust spin the same yarn.
- Civilian 5: You hear the serpent weaver died?
- Civilian 6: The ol' thief's buried not far from here. Man was a blight. Good riddance.
- Civilian 7: That old fellow people said called the kraken bought the farm not long ago. Nobody's seen the beast since.
- Civilian 8: So it was true then!
- Civilian 7: Didn't say that. Maybe you could ask his widow, she won't leave his grave.
Connor approached the man's widow at his grave.
- Widow: You come to pay your respects? You're the first. He didn't have many friends. People just didn't understand. He was a good trader. He was a good husband. I never wanted for anything.
Connor investigated the trader's workshop, and found his "Sea Monster" contraption.

Unidentified Flying Object
Unidentified Flying Object was a virtual representation of one of Ratonhnhaké:ton's genetic memories, relived by Desmond Miles in 2012 through the Animus.
Description
Daniel Boone told Connor about a mysterious flying object.
Dialogue
- Boone: The first time I saw the light was back in Boston. I was trading my biggest take of the season when the fire rose behind Beacon Hill. Went straight up in the night sky, passed the moon. Then it was gone. I wasn't alone. Those next to me had their heads cocked the same - craned as far back as it could go - mouths agape. Couldn't tell you what it was but I can tell you it wasn't of this earth.
Connor went to investigate the source of the U.F.O. He found an umbrella stuck on a tree, concluding it had been "reflecting moonlight among in the trees".
