Black Flag Resynced Trophy Guide: All 50 Trophies and How to Unlock Them

Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced has 50 trophies in total, including the Platinum trophy.

Nothing appears to be missable, so you can play through the main story normally and clean up the rest later.

A good Platinum run will mostly come down to finishing the story, upgrading the Jackdaw, completing forts and shipwrecks, recruiting officers, clearing side activities, and grinding out collectibles tied to the manor.

Trophy Roadmap

Total trophies: 50

Missable trophies: None

Story trophies: Five trophies are directly tied to story progress.

Estimated Platinum time: Around 60 hours

Hardest part: Collectibles, map pieces, manor displays, Jackdaw upgrades, and cleanup trophies.

Best order: Finish the story first, then clean up side content and collectibles.

Best Platinum Route

Start by playing through the main story.

A lot of areas, activities, ship systems, and side missions are locked behind story progress, so it is better to unlock the full map before doing serious cleanup.

After the story, focus on upgrading the Jackdaw, recruiting all officers, capturing forts, completing shipwrecks, and working through collectibles.

The longest cleanup usually comes from manor-related trophies, art collection pieces, map pieces, portraits, and equipment displays.

Story Trophies

Lively Havana

How to complete: Finish the early Havana story section.

This is one of the first story trophies you should unlock naturally while progressing through the main missions.

Jackdaw Story Trophy

How to complete: Progress through the story until Edward escapes captivity, gains a crew, and gets the Jackdaw.

This unlocks naturally and does not require any extra work.

Great Inagua Story Trophy

How to complete: Continue the main story until you unlock Great Inagua and the hideout.

Once the hideout becomes available, more side content and upgrade systems open up.

Late Story Trophy

How to complete: Keep progressing through the later main story missions.

This unlocks naturally as you move through the major pirate events and assassinations.

Final Story Trophy

How to complete: Complete the final main story mission.

Nothing special is required outside normal story completion.

Combat Trophies

Backs to the Wall

How to complete: Kill an enemy with a wall takedown.

Fight near a wall and trigger the special takedown animation when the enemy is close enough.

Caught Them All

How to complete: Catch at least five enemies in one smoke bomb.

This is easiest in a crowded restricted area or during a story mission where many enemies group together.

Silence, Fool

How to complete: Kill a guard while they are actively ringing a bell.

Do not kill them before they reach the bell. Wait until they start ringing it, then use a pistol shot for an easier kill.

The Hangman

How to complete: Kill 10 enemies by hanging them with the rope dart.

Position yourself above enemies and use the rope dart hang prompt when it appears.

Let Me Explain

How to complete: Perform a perfect parry, then chain four takedowns.

Use a sword that can perform enough takedowns, then get into a larger fight and chain the kills after a clean parry.

Double Tap

How to complete: Parry two ocelot attacks in rapid succession.

You only need one ocelot for this. Let it attack, parry it, then quickly parry its next attack.

Matador

How to complete: Dodge three animal charge attacks.

Wild pigs are a good option. Wait for the charge indicator, then dodge at the right time.

Gun Kata

How to complete: Kill four enemies with pistols in under five seconds.

This is much easier with a pistol that has four shots. Line up weak enemies and shoot quickly.

Use a berserk dart on an enemy, drop a smoke bomb, then kick the enemy overboard from a ship.

Ship and Naval Trophies

This unlocks through naval progression and should come naturally during the story.

Dressing Over All

How to complete: Equip cosmetics in every Jackdaw cosmetic slot.

Change the ship appearance in all available cosmetic slots.

Hunter Hunted

How to complete: Reach maximum wanted level, defeat a pirate hunter, and board the ship.

This is easier once the Jackdaw has solid upgrades.

Old Ironsides

How to complete: Perform three perfect braces.

You need the perfect brace ability first, which is unlocked through one of the officer-related upgrades.

Strike the Colors

How to complete: Board a lead convoy ship.

Find a convoy world event, disable the lead ship, then board it.

All Hands on Deck

How to complete: Recruit all officers.

Complete the officer side missions to recruit every officer and unlock their ship abilities.

Unsinkable

How to complete: Survive a rogue wave hitting the side of the Jackdaw.

Normally you want to face rogue waves head-on, but this trophy requires surviving one from the side.

King of the Castle

How to complete: Capture every fort on the map.

Upgrade the Jackdaw before doing the harder forts.

Legendary Ships Trophy

How to complete: Defeat all legendary ships.

Do this late in the game after heavily upgrading the Jackdaw.

Jackdaw Upgrade Trophy

How to complete: Fully upgrade the Jackdaw.

You will need a lot of reales and materials, so loot ships, complete naval activities, and keep upgrading as you go.

Return the Favor

How to complete: Dash ram a ship that is also trying to ram you.

Watch for an enemy ship charging toward you, then dash ram into it at the right time.

Exploration and Location Trophies

Owned

How to complete: Complete every activity in a single location.

A shipwreck can work well for this once you have the diving bell.

Seven Deadly Seas

How to complete: Complete every shipwreck activity.

Unlock the diving bell, then visit every shipwreck and collect the required chests.

Cartographer

How to complete: Visit every location in the game.

This unlocks when you enter your final missing map location.

Clear the smuggler hideout, get the key, then open the chest.

When this event appears, reach it quickly and defeat the enemies before they execute the captured pirates.

Davy Jones' Locker

How to complete: Swim to the lowest point in the map.

Do this in the Black Trench shipwreck by swimming down into the deepest section.

Blow the Man Down

How to complete: Shoot down all hanging bodies in Long Bay.

Look upward while moving through the area and shoot each hanging body you find.

Last to Leave

How to complete: Sit on a chair on a burning ship.

This depends on finding a burning ship world event that has a chair spawn. Once you find one, sit down to unlock the trophy.

Money, Crafting, and Progression Trophies

Smooth Operator

How to complete: Craft any item.

This usually happens naturally early in the story.

Business and Pleasure

How to complete: Spend 50,000 reales.

Restoring buildings, upgrading the Jackdaw, and buying items will help you reach this naturally.

Governor

How to complete: Restore all buildings in the Great Inagua village.

This costs money, so it is best done after you have a good income from sailing, looting, and side activities.

Glutton for Nourishment

How to complete: Consume 20 food items.

This should unlock naturally as you heal during exploration and combat.

Swim Trophy

How to complete: Swim 1,000 meters.

You can farm this anywhere by swimming around for a while.

Side Activity Trophies

Help a Brother Out

How to complete: Complete your first Templar Hunt sequence.

These are optional side missions that appear after you unlock more of the map.

Yo Ho

How to complete: Learn a new sea shanty.

Find a shanty page, chase it through the parkour route, and collect it.

How to complete: Win each type of tavern game.

You need to beat every available tavern game type.

Fully charge the harpoon, line up the shot, and throw at the right moment.

Hung Over

How to complete: Drink at a tavern until Edward passes out.

After drinking enough, Edward will wake up in a haystack and the trophy should unlock.

Edward Catway

How to complete: Break 50 tiny potted plants.

Focus on the small pots, not the large obvious plant pots.

Collectible and Manor Trophies

The Memory of My Enemy

How to complete: Display all character portraits in the manor.

Use the database clues to track down missing portraits, then return to the manor and place them.

Dilettante

How to complete: Complete the art collection and equipment displays in the manor.

This is one of the longest trophies in the game. You need art pieces, weapon displays, and an outfit display.

Zero Ways

How to complete: Restore a map from map pieces.

Map pieces can come from activities such as warehouses, Kenway's Fleet, and other world content.

Friend to All

How to complete: Interact with all friendly animals.

This can include animals like the dog, cat, parrot, turtle, cow, chickens, pig, and monkey.

Mayan Isu Armor Trophy

How to complete: Find all Mayan stones and open the Isu door.

Complete the Mayan puzzles across the world, collect all stones, then return to the Isu door to claim the reward.

Platinum Trophy

Platinum Trophy

How to complete: Unlock every other trophy in Black Flag Resynced.

The Platinum is not difficult in terms of skill, but it is a long grind because of collectibles, ship upgrades, map pieces, and manor progress.

Hardest Trophies

The hardest trophies are mostly cleanup trophies.

The main ones to watch are Dilettante, The Memory of My Enemy, Last to Leave, the legendary ships trophy, and the full Jackdaw upgrade trophy.

Dilettante is especially time-consuming because it requires a lot of art collection and manor display progress.

Quick Tips for the Platinum

Finish the story first so the full map and important systems are available.

Upgrade the Jackdaw before attempting forts and legendary ships.

Do combat trophies early while enemies are still common.

Do not leave every collectible until the end, because map pieces and manor trophies can take a long time.

Check warehouses, Kenway's Fleet, shipwrecks, island chests, and hideout systems while exploring.

The Platinum is very doable, but most of the time will be spent on cleanup rather than the main story.
