What’s the use of Lucid Memory Artifacts in Tyranny of King Washington

It uses Uplay (yes, even on the Steam version), which needs to be kept running in the background.

I did some testing:

• Offline mode is available. You need to have logged in to Uplay on the computer you're using at least once before.

• You won't get kicked out if the game if you get disconnected from the internet.

Fort captains aren't all that special. They're just another archetype in the game's different enemies.

It's not a new one either, they are all* the Jager archetype and are vulnerable to disarms. But you cannot initiate the attack, they must attack you and you must do a counter disarm.

You can disarm them by pressing Off Hand -> Foot as they attack you (have the red triangle over them). That's B -> A on an Xbox 360 Controller, Circle -> X on a PS3 Controller or E -> SPACE on the PC keyboard. Once disarmed, you should have no trouble finishing them off.

There is also a challenge to disarm 10 Jagers and kill them with their own weapon.

_{^{*They are all the same archetype as far as I can tell.}}
