Story[]
The showdown[]
Nate up against Navarro and his mercenaries.
Armed with a SAS - 12 shotgun, Nate fought through waves of Navarro's mercenaries while Navarro attempted to suppress him with sniper fire. After several shootouts, Nate pursued Navarro to the helipad where the helicopter had crashed. Upon reaching the top, he found Elena unconscious inside the aircraft, which was balanced precariously on the ship's edge. As Nate attempted to flank Navarro, the latter detonated a set of explosive barrels, knocking Nate back and causing his weapon to fall overboard.
Unarmed, Nate took cover behind wooden crates to avoid Navarro's laser-sighted shots. Nate eventually closed the distance and engaged Navarro in hand-to-hand combat, successfully disarming him. Although Navarro attempted to retrieve his weapon, Nate delivered a final series of strikes that knocked him unconscious.
The End[]

Nate rushed to the helicopter to help Elena. As she regained consciousness, Navarro did as well and was prepared to finish them off. Noticing that a rope connected to the sunken statue had become entangled around Navarro's leg, Nate pushed the helicopter off the ship. The falling wreckage dragged Navarro into the ocean, and the statue followed, plunging both him and the treasure into the depths.
In the aftermath, Nate and Elena reflected on their ordeal. Nate expressed regret over leaving empty-handed, but Elena returned the ring he had left with Sir Francis Drake's remains. As they leaned in for a kiss, they were interrupted by Sully, who arrived on a motorboat laden with treasure scavenged from the pirates. As the trio sailed away into the sunset, Elena reminded Nate that he still owed her a story to replace her lost camera footage. Nate assured her he was "good for it".
Walkthrough[]
First phase[]
First phase
Nate begins with the SAS - 12 shotgun retained from the previous chapter. The initial encounter pits Nate against Navarro and three mercenaries. Navarro utilizes a semi-automatic SAS-12 with a laser sight, firing three rapid shots before taking precise aim; players must remain in cover during this cycle. The mercenaries are equipped with M4 rifles. While wooden crates provide initial cover, they are destructible; the shipping containers on the flanks offer more permanent protection. A shotgun reload is located on a crate directly in front of the starting position.
Navarro retreats once his reinforcements are neutralized or his cover is destroyed. On higher difficulties, managing ammunition is vital, so eliminating the mercenaries first is advised. Once Navarro flees, players should scavenge M4 rifles from the fallen soldiers to ensure full ammunition for the subsequent sections.
Second phase[]
Second phase
After clearing the first area, vault over the crate to the next section and immediately seek cover. The only available cover here consists of destructible crates, requiring a swift offensive. Navarro is supported by three mercenaries, with an additional three arriving once two are killed. Several M4s are leaned against crates in this area, but ammunition should be used conservatively due to the high volume of enemies.
Third phase[]
Third phase
Collect any remaining ammo and proceed. Be prepared for falling crates and press 
when prompted, then immediately take cover to avoid incoming fire. In this area, Navarro's cover is indestructible. Eliminate the initial two mercenaries, followed by a third who descends the stairs. A fourth mercenary will then appear on the upper platform wielding an M79 grenade launcher. Once he is defeated, Navarro retreats up the stairs to the helipad. Follow him up there for the final phase.
Final phase[]

Nate is now unarmed, necessitating a stealthy approach. This sequence requires precise timing: wait for Navarro to fire two shots, then move to the next set of crates before he destroys your current cover. On higher difficulties, the window for movement is smaller, and Nate takes damage more quickly. Repeat this pattern—waiting for the reload window to advance—until Nate is close enough to initiate melee combat. Follow the quick-time event (QTE) prompts to disarm him. After Navarro knocks Nate down, quickly rise and engage him a final time, completing the QTE prompts to trigger the final cutscene.
