Arthur and the gang must destroy gun emplacements on the coast, and rescue the ship captain, before they can leave the island.
Hercule will lead you to the hill where the first cannon station is located. When you reach it, you and Micah will sneak in from behind to the two guards guarding the place. To complete one of the requirements for the gold medal, you have to kill those guys quietly. You should use a knife and kill the guard standing closer and Micah will take care of the other one.
Then place the dynamite on one of the cannons.
Start moving through the ruins towards the next cannon station. Eliminate the soldiers who will attack you along the way.

Dutch will eventually instruct you to go to the blue building and get the captain.
You must enter the building where the captain is being held. You will get jumped by when you get inside by the guard hiding inside. He will point his gun at you. The Dutch will point the gun at him and after a while Fussar will join you and the situation will become even more complicated.
Look left and right until you can look down on the captain and then kick the gun to the captain.
The captain will be rescued but Fussar will escape through the window. To earn the gold medal you must now escort the captain to the boat within the time limit.
