Assassins Creed Black Flag Resynced treasure maps Guide

Assassins Creed Black Flag Resynced treasure maps are collectible parchment sketches that direct Edward Kenway to buried caches containing Reales, rare outfits, and vessel schematics across Caribbean shorelines. Finding each map skeleton or warehouse clue unlocks the dig prompt at the listed coordinates.

Searching for buried chests requires possessing the matching document first. If you sail directly to marked coordinates without picking up the corresponding parchment, no interaction prompt appears in the sand. Collecting these items yields substantial sums of Reales, cosmetic ship vanities, and schematics needed for jackdaw upgrades.

Building on top of the original story, Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced introduces exclusive new content. — the Steam store page

As documented on the Steam store page, the remake incorporates expanded side content alongside updated visuals. Finding all 30 maps across the archipelago allows players to outfit Edward with unique weaponry and complete ship modifications before challenging late-game threats.

Where Do You Find Exploration Treasure Maps?

Exploration treasure maps are parchment sketches discovered on pirate skeletons and inside guarded warehouses across Caribbean settlements. Synchronizing local viewpoints marks nearby skeletons on your world map, allowing you to trace clues across island beaches, caves, and ruins.

1. Synchronize the local viewpoint to reveal undiscovered secret icons on the map.
2. Approach the pirate skeleton or infiltrate the marked warehouse zone.
3. Interact with the remains or loot the warehouse strongbox to add the sketch to your database.
4. Inspect the drawing in your codex to read the latitude and longitude coordinates in the lower right corner.
5. Sail to the target island, align your compass with the landmark drawing, and press the interaction button over the glowing dig site.

While many clues lie on open sandbanks, others require specific story milestones. The starting map on Cape Bonavista remains blocked until you acquire the Jackdaw and complete the early quest Now Hiring. Similarly, the warehouse parchment in Nassau directs you to Isla Providencia, an island inaccessible until reaching the Sequence 8 mission Marooned.

How Do Restored Treasure Maps Work at Great Inagua?

Restored treasure maps are multi-piece documents assembled by the Great Inagua Treasure Dealer using gathered fragments and trade goods. Unlocking this feature requires liberating the Great Inagua hideout during the main story mission This Old Cove and investing 5,000 Reales to renovate the dealer's shop on the docks.

The dealer handles five unique restored maps: Weathered, Preserved, Yellowed, Tattered, and Digested. Unlike standard field pickups, each document requires collecting several fragments scattered across specific Caribbean activities.

• Weathered Map pieces come from locked chests inside five smuggler dens, with the final sixth fragment purchased from the Treasure Dealer for 200 Spice.
• Preserved Map pieces drop randomly when plundering military warehouses across the map.
• Yellowed Map pieces require completing naval trade missions through kenway's fleet.
• Tattered Map pieces drop from boarding Pirate Hunter ships at wanted level three or four and selecting the Captain's Lockbox option.
• Digested Map pieces require hunting and skinning the White Jaguar that stalks the jungle on Great Inagua.

Once all fragments for a set are collected, return to Great Inagua and pay the dealer his fee in Reales and cargo resources to assemble the finished map.

Which Restored Map Rewards Fit Your Playstyle?

Treasure Dealer reward bundles are specialized gear sets that grant cosmetic items, weapons, or passive perks upon excavation. Because each project demands distinct trade goods and considerable time, choosing which fragments to target early depends on whether your focus lies on close-quarters swordplay, stealth outfits, or vessel vanities.

The table below outlines the resources, fragment requirements, and final rewards for all five restored maps:

The Persian Scimitars obtained from the Weathered Map deal 38 damage and feature a perk allowing takedowns to chain directly into brute-class guards. The Preserved Map delivers the Wooden Eyeball trinket, which allows quick-shot pistol attacks to eliminate brute enemies on impact. Sourcing all ten pieces for the yellowed map demands patience with fleet trade timers, but it unlocks the Wellerman sea shanty along with dark brotherhood sails.

How Do Story and Secret Maps Unlock?

Story treasure maps are exclusive documents awarded through narrative progress or specific Hideout collections. These items bypass standard skeleton scavenging and lead to unique collectibles for Edward's estate.

During Sequence 7, completing the main story mission Do Not Go Gently awards Blackbeard's Treasure Map. Following its directions takes you beneath the waves at Anotto Bay, leading through a submerged mine shaft to uncover blackbeard's treasure and his framed portrait.

A second unique document becomes available inside Great Inagua Manor. Gathering all eleven collectible art portraits scattered across Caribbean settlements and displaying them in the manor frames triggers the quest The Memory of My Enemy. Completing this unlocks a map pointing to coordinates 820, 430 on the southern shores of Great Inagua, where Edward digs up The Fortune legendary cutlass.

A third secret clue appears at the Havana docks through the Smelly Sailors event at coordinates 226, 573. Reading the discarded note points to an uncharted wreck at 356, 700 in Dry Tortuga, yielding the Guardian Beast Trinket and 1,000 Reales.
