Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced Trophy Guide
Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced has a full trophy list built around story progression, naval combat, map completion, Great Inagua upgrades, collectibles, and several very specific combat challenges. To earn the Platinum, you need to unlock every trophy, including the campaign trophies, all forts, all legendary ships, Jackdaw upgrades, underwater shipwreck chests, and a handful of oddball objectives like breaking 50 potted plants or kicking a berserk enemy caught in smoke off a ship.
The list is not difficult because of one brutal trophy. It is difficult because Black Flag Resynced spreads its trophies across almost every major system in the game. If you only rush the story, you will have a lot left behind. If you explore naturally, upgrade the Jackdaw often, and knock out location objectives as you find them, the cleanup becomes much less painful.
All Trophies in Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced
Below is the full Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced trophy list, grouped by the kind of objective each trophy asks you to complete. That makes it easier to see what you can earn through normal play and what you should leave for focused cleanup later.
| Trophy | Requirement | Type |
|---|---|---|
| Prizes, Plunder, and Adventure! | Win every trophy | Platinum |
| Ever A Splinter | Stop a Templar plot by completing Sequence 12, Memory 5 | Gold |
| Last To Leave | Take a seat on a burning ship | Silver |
| King of the Castle | Capture all forts | Silver |
| Dilettante | Fill all Art Collection and Equipment slots in the Great Inagua manor | Silver |
| Grandmaster | Win at each of the different tavern games | Silver |
| Overdesign IV | Kick a berserk enemy caught in smoke off a ship | Silver |
| Collective Madness | Add one of each ship class to Kenway’s fleet | Silver |
| Return The Favor | Dash ram a ramming Brig | Silver |
| Devil of the Caribbean | Defeat all legendary ships | Silver |
| Ship This | Fully upgrade the Jackdaw | Silver |
| Blow The Man Down | Shoot down all the hanging bodies in Long Bay | Silver |
| Cartographer | Visit every location in the game | Silver |
The Silver trophies are where most of the real completion work sits. King of the Castle, Devil of the Caribbean, Ship This, Cartographer, Seven Deadly Seas, and Dilettante are the trophies that can quietly stretch the Platinum if you ignore the game’s side systems for too long.
Story Trophies
The story trophies unlock by progressing through specific sequences. You do not need to do anything unusual for these beyond completing the required memory.
| Trophy | How to Unlock | Type |
|---|---|---|
| Lively Havana | Complete Sequence 2, Memory 1 | Bronze |
| A Poxy Bird | Complete Sequence 2, Memory 6 | Bronze |
| Walls That Hold Back The Wind | Complete Sequence 4, Memory 1 | Bronze |
| In A World Without Gold | Complete Sequence 8, Memory 1 | Bronze |
| Ever A Splinter | Complete Sequence 12, Memory 5 | Gold |
These are the least stressful trophies on the list. I would use the story as your main path through the game, then branch out when new activities, tools, and ship upgrades become available. Trying to clean everything before the game has opened up is usually less efficient.
Jackdaw and Naval Trophies
The Jackdaw trophies are some of the most important ones to think about early, because several late-game objectives become much easier if your ship is already strong. Fully upgrading the Jackdaw also supports other trophies, including forts, legendary ships, convoys, and tougher naval fights.
| Trophy | How to Unlock | Tip |
|---|---|---|
| King of the Castle | Capture all forts | Take forts as your Jackdaw improves instead of saving every fort for the end |
| Collective Madness | Add one of each ship class to Kenway’s fleet | Board different ship types as you explore |
| Strike The Colors | Board a Lead Convoy ship | Upgrade the Jackdaw before chasing stronger convoy targets |
| Unsinkable | Survive a rogue wave taken from the side | Look for storm conditions and avoid overcorrecting too early |
| Return The Favor | Dash ram a ramming Brig | Wait for a Brig that uses ramming behavior, then counter with your own dash ram |
| Hunter Hunted | Defeat a Pirate Hunter while at maximum Wanted Level | Build Wanted Level when your ship is strong enough to survive the response |
| Devil of the Caribbean | Defeat all legendary ships | Save these fights until the Jackdaw is heavily upgraded |
| Old Ironsides | Perform 3 perfect braces | Practice brace timing during normal naval fights |
| Not So Little Friend | Unlock the secondary firing mode on a Jackdaw weapon | Earned through ship weapon upgrades |
| Dressing Overall | Equip new cosmetics in each Jackdaw vanity slot | Use any cosmetics that fill the required vanity slots |
| Ship This | Fully upgrade the Jackdaw | One of the bigger long-term resource goals |
Devil of the Caribbean is the trophy I would respect the most. Legendary ships are not there to politely donate progress to your Platinum. Go in with a properly upgraded Jackdaw, learn their patterns, and do not be surprised if the first few attempts turn into expensive ocean debris.
Collectible and Exploration Trophies
Exploration trophies cover forts, locations, underwater shipwrecks, Great Inagua, map pieces, friendly animals, and other completion tasks. These are not always hard individually, but they are the trophies that punish players who leave every side activity untouched until the very end.
| Trophy | How to Unlock | Tip |
|---|---|---|
| The Memory of My Enemy | Display all character portraits in the Great Inagua manor | Track manor progress as you unlock portraits |
| Dilettante | Fill all Art Collection and Equipment slots in the Great Inagua manor | Expect this to be one of the longer Great Inagua tasks |
| Governor | Restore all buildings in the Great Inagua village | Spend on village restoration as the settlement opens up |
| Zero Waste | Restore a map from map pieces | Collect map pieces while exploring instead of leaving them all for cleanup |
| Grandmaster | Win at each of the different tavern games | Play tavern games as you encounter them so this does not become a final checklist item |
| Among Thieves | Unlock a smuggler’s chest | Complete when you find smuggler content |
| Help A Brother Out | Complete a Templar Hunt sequence | Finish at least one full Templar Hunt chain |
| Seven Deadly Seas | Find all treasure chests in underwater shipwrecks | Save for a focused underwater cleanup session |
| Owned | Complete every activity in a single location | Pick a smaller location and clear every listed activity there |
| All Hands On Deck | Recruit all Officers | Work through Officer content as it becomes available |
| Yo Ho… | Learn a new shanty | Likely earned naturally while exploring |
| Friend To All | Interact with all seven friendly animals | Keep track of animals as you encounter them |
| Davy Jones’ Locker | Swim to the lowest point on the map | Do during exploration cleanup |
| Cartographer | Visit every location in the game | One of the biggest map-completion trophies |
| Ed the Diver | Swim 1000m underwater outside underwater shipwrecks | Let this build naturally, then grind the rest if needed |
Cartographer and Seven Deadly Seas are the trophies most likely to become late-game cleanup projects. Fast travel helps a lot once the map opens up, especially if you have synchronized viewpoints instead of relying only on docks. Our Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced fast travel guide explains how map travel works if you are still early.
Combat Trophies
The combat trophies are more about setup than raw skill. Most of them ask you to perform a specific action under specific conditions, so it is usually better to wait until you have the right tools and a good location rather than trying to force them the first time the trophy name makes eye contact with you.
| Trophy | How to Unlock | Tip |
|---|---|---|
| Articles Of Agreement | Ensure the survival of all pirates in a street fight | Control the fight quickly and keep pressure off your allies |
| Silence, Fool! | Kill a guard ringing a bell | Let a guard start the alarm animation, then interrupt with a kill |
| Matador | Dodge three charge attacks by a Wild Pig | Find a safe area and focus on dodging rather than attacking |
| Perfect Predator | Get a perfect harpoon shot on a Great White Shark | Wait for a clean opening instead of throwing early |
| Double Tap | Parry two Ocelot attacks in rapid succession | Play defensively and let the attacks come to you |
| The Hangman | Kill 10 enemies by hanging them with the rope dart | Use elevated positions and isolated guards |
| Caught ’Em All | Catch at least five enemies within a single smoke bomb | Use a dense group rather than trying to gather enemies slowly |
| Gun-kata | Use pistols to kill four enemies in a row within five seconds | Line up weakened enemies or use weaker targets to make the chain faster |
| Backs To The Wall | Kill an enemy with a wall takedown | Use tight alleys or interiors where enemies move close to walls |
| Let Me Explain | After a perfect parry, perform a total of four takedowns | Use a weapon with four Maximum Takedowns |
| Overdesign IV | Kick a berserk enemy caught in smoke off a ship | Set this up during boarding, where enemies and ledges are easier to control |
| Glutton for Nourishment | Consume 20 food items | Use food naturally when healing during exploration and combat |
| Smooth Operator | Craft an item | One of the easiest utility trophies |
| Business And Pleasure | Spend 50,000 Reales | Spend naturally on upgrades, restoration, equipment, and cosmetics |
Let Me Explain is one of the trophies where your weapon choice can matter. A weapon with four Maximum Takedowns makes the requirement much more straightforward, because you are trying to turn one good parry into a longer chain. If you are deciding what to equip, our Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced best weapons guide covers the strongest swords and pistols by playstyle.
Hardest Trophies to Unlock
The hardest trophies in Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced are the ones that require full-map commitment, heavy Jackdaw investment, or a very specific setup. They are not impossible, but they are the trophies I would avoid leaving completely untouched until the end.
| Trophy | Why It Is Hard | Best Advice |
|---|---|---|
| Devil of the Caribbean | Legendary ships are the toughest naval fights | Upgrade the Jackdaw heavily before attempting them seriously |
| Ship This | Requires a fully upgraded Jackdaw | Collect money and materials throughout the game |
| Cartographer | Requires visiting every location | Explore naturally and finish with a dedicated map cleanup pass |
| Dilettante | Requires filling Art Collection and Equipment slots | Track Great Inagua progress instead of ignoring the manor |
| Seven Deadly Seas | Requires every treasure chest in underwater shipwrecks | Handle underwater cleanup in focused sessions |
| Overdesign IV | Requires a strange chain of combat conditions | Set it up during boarding when enemies and ship edges are available |
| Last To Leave | Requires taking a seat on a burning ship | Watch for the right interaction during naval encounters |
Overdesign IV deserves special mention because it sounds like a trophy built out of leftover verbs: berserk, smoke, kick, ship. It is not necessarily the longest trophy, but it is the kind of thing you should do deliberately instead of hoping the game accidentally arranges a pirate slapstick routine for you.
Secret Trophies
Several trophies are hidden or story-related, but their requirements are still straightforward once revealed. If you want to avoid even light spoilers, skip this section and return after finishing the campaign.
| Secret Trophy | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Last To Leave | Take a seat on a burning ship |
| A Poxy Bird | Captain your own ship by completing Sequence 2, Memory 6 |
| Walls That Hold Back The Wind | Settle in a new home by completing Sequence 4, Memory 1 |
| In A World Without Gold | Witness the end of a legend by completing Sequence 8, Memory 1 |
| Ever A Splinter | Stop a Templar plot by completing Sequence 12, Memory 5 |
| Hungover | Wake up in a haystack |
| Blow The Man Down | Shoot down all the hanging bodies in Long Bay |
Most of the secret trophies are either story progression or unusual one-off objectives. The story ones will come naturally, while Last To Leave, Hungover, and Blow The Man Down are better treated as cleanup targets once you know where to trigger them.
Platinum Tips
The easiest way to make the Platinum less annoying is to keep the Jackdaw upgraded and avoid ignoring exploration entirely. You do not need to clear every icon the moment it appears, but forts, locations, shipwrecks, Great Inagua progress, and map discovery all stack up quickly if you postpone everything.
I would also save the more specific combat trophies until you have the tools needed to set them up cleanly. The Hangman, Caught ’Em All, Gun-kata, Let Me Explain, and Overdesign IV are much easier when you are not undergeared, understocked, or trying to perform trophy surgery in the middle of a bad fight.
The Platinum is less about difficulty and more about coverage. Touch every major system, upgrade the ship, clear the map carefully, and do the strange trophies on purpose. That is the cleanest way through the list without turning Edward’s pirate career into an unpaid administrative internship.
