  • Desynchronize. This will automatically reset your wanted level to incognito.
  • Bribe a local officer, which resets your wanted level. Thankfully, you’ll run into officers throughout the game while visiting towns and villages. Look for one near a harbormaster and conquered forts. Just keep in mind that you’ll pay a higher price depending on the level. Wanted level 1 costs 200R, wanted level 2 is 400R, wanted level 3 is 600R and wanted level 4 is 800R.
  • Board a ship and choose the option to lower your wanted level. Doing this makes it decrease by one grade.

Now find out how to destroy multiple ships.
