How to beat the legendary ships in Assassin's Creed 4

The El Impoluto

Once you get behind it, you’ll want to stay there and then unleash chain-shots into it. Once it gets slowed, drop mortars on it and more chain-shots, and front cannons. This is a way to attack most of the legendary ships, but it is highly effective on the Impoluto as you are safe from its ram once you are behind it. Stay there and unleash on it all you can, chipping away and ramming it when you can and the beast will sink soon enough.
