Welcome to our Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced guide. One of the most beloved entries in the Assassin's Creed series is back with a remake featuring visual enhancements, new content, and gameplay improvements. Both the main story and its wider context have been revised, while new collectibles, moves, and equipment have also been added. This guide avoids major story spoilers wherever possible. Pages covering endgame missions and character-related collectibles may contain minor spoilers.
The story of Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced follows the life of Edward Kenway, a Welsh privateer turned pirate who travels to the Caribbean during the Golden Age of Piracy in search of fortune. The remake has removed the present-day sections, although new activities and additional story content have been added to provide more context for the events taking place outside the Animus.
Your ship in Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced is your main means of transportation throughout the adventure. Sailing across the Caribbean comes with plenty of risks, so it pays to be prepared if you don't want your journey through the Golden Age of Piracy to end at the bottom of the sea. Although the game explains several of its systems and the combat mechanics are fairly easy to understand, this section covers the most important features you need to keep in mind.
Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced features a wide variety of side missions offering different rewards for Edward. Depending on the type of activity you complete, you may receive money, materials, weapons, outfits, new crew members, and more. Here you can find every type of side mission, tips for completing them whenever necessary, and the specific rewards offered by each one.
Although the foundations of the original game have been retained, the combat and equipment systems in Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced have received several changes and improvements that you'll want to know about. Some are less significant, such as adjustments to the visual cues for certain actions, while others have a much greater impact. You can find them all here.
Among the activities available in Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced are the Animus Rifts, a new feature introduced in this remake. These are a series of special side missions that become available at certain points in the game after you have completed specific story Sequences. Here you can find out where to start them, how to complete them, and which rewards you will receive.
As in the vast majority of games in the series, Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced features the famous Viewpoints. These are elevated locations where the "Synchronize" prompt will appear as you approach. Synchronizing reveals several points of interest in the surrounding area and, more importantly, unlocks the Viewpoint as a fast-travel location. This makes Viewpoints one of the first places you should visit whenever you reach a new area.
As you would expect from the series, Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced features a huge number of collectibles and related activities. It is worth noting that there are more collectibles than in the original game, as several new mechanics have been added and a couple of areas have been expanded. Here you can find every type of collectible and its exact location on the map.
Among the many locations you will need to explore in Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced are several Forts. These are heavily fortified locations packed with enemies and guarded by ships. To conquer them, you should first try to thin out the enemy fleet and then destroy the cannon emplacements, allowing you to disembark and eliminate all the enemies before taking control of the fort's main room.
