Mastering Pirate Life in Skull and Bones: Completing Strike the Iron

Life as a pirate in Skull and Bones is more than just drinking and singing sea shanties. Analyzing ships and plundering settlements are key to surviving the high seas. Here's how to complete the Strike the Iron contract and take down the elusive Compagnie Rammer.

Understanding Strike the Iron

As you progress through Skull and Bones' main and side quests, you'll receive the Strike the Iron contract from the Blacksmith. This contract requires you to take down a specific target: the Compagnie Rammer. But first, you need to find one.

How to Identify a Compagnie Rammer in Skull and Bones

Identifying ships in Skull and Bones is crucial to completing Strike the Iron. To do this, use your trusty spyglass and hover over the ship for a few seconds. This will reveal vital information about the ship's name, level, type, faction, and armory.

On different platforms, accessing the spyglass is a breeze:

PC players can open the spyglass with the R key.
Console players can open the spyglass by pressing the right analog stick (PlayStation and Xbox).

How to Plunder a Settlement in Skull and Bones

Some ships, like the Compagnie Rammer, only appear to rescue a settlement you're plundering. To increase your chances of finding a Compagnie Rammer, you'll need to plunder a settlement. Here's how:

Find a settlement you'd like to plunder.
Start shooting cannonballs at it to initiate the plundering phase.
Progress through each checkpoint to earn loot, but be prepared to face stronger ships that will come to the settlement's rescue.

Plundering a settlement until the end of the phase can be challenging, especially at lower levels. If you're only looking to eliminate a Compagnie Rammer, stick around until it appears, destroy it, and flee.

Compagnie Rammer Location in Skull and Bones

The Compagnie Rammer can be fought in any Compagnie settlement. One of the closest settlements to Saint Anne is Guérande, located just south of the town's docks.

When you attack the settlement, a Compagnie Rammer will appear. Make sure to use your spyglass to identify it before engaging in battle.

By following these steps and mastering the art of ship identification and settlement plundering, you'll be well on your way to completing Strike the Iron and taking down the elusive Compagnie Rammer in Skull and Bones.
