How to Complete the Fall of Lanitra Investigation

The outpost of Lanitra's location in Skull and Bones

Trigger the Investigation in Lanitra

After hearing rumors regarding Lanitra in the pirate den of Sainte-Anne, you can trigger the Fall of Lanitra investigation by travelling to the outpost of Lanitra, which is on the Red Isle, to the north of Saint-Anne. To find the newspaper and trigger the investigation, simply dock at Lanitra and follow these directions;

  • Head up the hill from the entry point and take the rope on the left to go down to lower ground.
  • Turn left at the fork in the road and up the hill
  • Find the newspaper on the right side of the area, buried under a post next to a sword.

The newspaper will trigger the beginning of the investigation and offer you a clue that sends you to the outpost of Guerande.

Plunder Guerande for Intel

After you have found the newspaper, you will need to locate and travel to Guerande. Fortunately, the outpost is fairly easy to found, as it is a short distance to the south of Sainte-Anne. If you want to cut down on how long it takes you to get their, you can use Skull and Bones' fast travel feature to quickly move to Sainte-Anne and sail to the outpost from there.

Once you have arrived at Guerande, you will need to bring your ship close enough to interact with the outpost and hold the indicated button to plunder the island. While you are more than welcome to fully complete the plunder and destroy any hostile ships, it isn't necessary for the progression of the investigation. Once the plunder is triggered, you'll be able to collect some loot, which includes the final clue about who is responsible behind the fall of Lanitra - none other than John Scurlock.

Confront the Culprit

Once you have completed the plunder, either by finishing off enemy ships or by leaving the area, travel back to Sainte-Anne to confront the pirate kingpin. Scurlock will be found in his usual place, his office just past the Saint-Anne warehouse. To finish the investigation, choose the dialogue option that confronts him about his role in the fall of Lanitra.

Confronting Scurlock will trigger a dialogue where you can find out more information about his motivation, and he will reveal that he was cut out of Schaduw's booty, so he sold out Freeman's kingdom for a bounty. He goes on to say that he will pay you for your silence, and the investigation is completed. For completing the Fall of Lanitra, you are awarded a chest and 250 Infamy points.
