Drifting into a Legendary Battle, again untested but it would probably just have you do the legendary battle and then spit you back out into a frozen North Atlantic. Interestingly however when you load one of the memories a glitchy version of the Templar outfit cutscene plays, this is what gave me the idea of doing anything I could to return to the location that you obtain the outfit and made it clearer that the cutscene is the issue not the outfit.Ħ. Trying anything in memories, nothing done there will help you. Fast Traveling anywhere in the North Atlantic from the North Atlantic, untested but all information leads to this freezing the game, it might work if you go to the HMS Miranda but no guarantees.ĥ. Removing the Templar outfit while still in the North Atlantic if you managed to get unstuck, this will cause you to freeze once you leave the cabin once you exitĤ. Harpooning will make you playthrough the minigame with no hud and resume you drifting after you completeģ. Docking into any location will just get you stuck at the wheelĢ. Just in case take your time before leaving, I personally rode my ship to one of the towns before I did anything.ġ. Once you have loaded in the game will play through the cutscene as if you have just unlocked the Templar outfit. Once you have managed to make it to either River Valley or New York you are pretty much safe, change out of the Templar outfit (unsure if required but just in case) and then make a back up save (again just in case) then fast travel to the HMS Miranda viewpoint. I just left the game idle overnight and when I came back it was on the fast travel options screen. This is the method I ended up using successfully as I relocked the game both times I used the wave method because I didn't think to fast travel immediately (I thought the outfit was the issue). Allow your ship to drift in the North Atlantic until you hit a fast travel zone and fast travel to River Valley or New York (I went to River Valley can't actually testify for New York). What you should do is go to the map and fast travel anywhere in River Valley or New York (I went to River Valley can't actually testify for New York). Once you have control do not pause the game, or enter your ship to change outfits the outfit isn't actually what has caused the glitch, and changing it won't stop it from happening (if you enter the cabin and change outfits when you come back out it will relock) similarly pausing the game locks it again.
I only managed to get this to work once with a wave and another time it randomly allowed me to brace while next to land, though I suspect there was a wave I couldn't see. Just in case try to spam your guns while bracing.
If your ship is angled well then you should be able to brace and after coming out of the brace you should be able to control your ship and use your guns. Allow your ship to drift in the North Atlantic until a large wave comes, the type that does damage unless you brace. There's 2 potential options here that I have found, neither is particularly hard or easy but they are both very luck based.ġ. If you need Anything in the North Atlantic then you will need to fix the glitch, any story mission located there will be locked so they cannot be used.
I would consider attempting to fix the glitch even if you don't need the North Atlantic anymore. If you want to avoid it in the first place then make sure to either leave the outfit as your very last thing or to not fast travel for a few minutes after obtaining the outfit.ĭepending on what you still require to do in the game it can vary, if you just require things in River Valley and New York then you could consider using previous story missions to get those out of the way, however you wont be able to fast travel and this will probably slow you down considerably. It is my belief that the glitch is actually caused by the cutscene and not the outfit as most seem to think (removing the outfit does not fix the glitch). This essentially causes much of the game to be impossible to complete. When you acquire the Templars outfit on the HMS Miranda and fast travel away quickly the game locks up and prevents you from doing anything but loading memories. I recently came into contact with this essentially game breaking glitch, there is no solution online and after much personal testing I have found the solution.
