Every unlock condition for the full 1,000 gamerscore, plus the seven hidden story trophies and the fastest way to clear them.

Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced ships with a full achievement set built around Edward Kenway’s Caribbean, splitting its objectives across land combat, naval battles, the Great Inagua settlement, and open-world exploration. Most of the requirements are straightforward once you know what triggers them, and a handful only appear as you push through the campaign.

Quick answer: There are 49 achievements worth 1,000 gamerscore. 42 have visible unlock conditions, and 7 stay hidden until you hit specific story beats. None require multiplayer, so every one can be earned in a single-player playthrough.

Combat and stealth achievements

These come from specific kills, parries, and takedowns during on-foot fights. Many are one-time triggers you can set up deliberately rather than grind.

The bulk of the harder unlocks live at sea. A powerful, well-upgraded Jackdaw makes most of them faster, and a few depend on ship upgrades you cannot skip.

Settlement, collection, and economy achievements

Great Inagua is the hub for several completion trophies, and a few more come from spending money, crafting, and clearing map objectives. Starting these early spreads the work out instead of leaving a long grind for the endgame.

GovernorRestore all buildings in the Great Inagua village
DilettanteFill all Art Collection and Equipment slots in the Great Inagua manor

Exploration and miscellaneous achievements

The rest reward you for covering the whole map, diving deep, and poking at the world’s smaller systems. Several tick up naturally as you travel, so there is rarely a need to farm them.

Hidden achievements and story milestones

Seven achievements stay hidden until you reach the moments that trigger them, and they are tied to campaign progression rather than optional activities. Lively Havana is visible but sits in the same story flow, so it is listed here for context. You cannot miss the campaign-locked ones as long as you finish the memories they are attached to.

AchievementTrigger
Lively HavanaGet a tour of Havana (Sequence 2, Memory 1)
A Poxy BirdCaptain your own ship (Sequence 2, Memory 6)
Walls That Hold Back The WindSettle in a new home (Sequence 4, Memory 1)

Fastest route to 100 percent

The most efficient path is to build progress into your normal playthrough instead of saving cleanup for after the credits. A few habits handle the biggest time sinks.

Upgrade Great Inagua as soon as it opens. Restoring the village and filling the manor’s slots naturally clears Governor, Dilettante, and The Memory of My Enemy without a late grind.
Keep investing in the Jackdaw throughout the game. Ship This, Old Ironsides, Not So Little Friend, and Devil of the Caribbean all depend on a fully upgraded, powerful ship, so start early rather than saving Reales for the end.
Clear content as you sail past it. Capturing forts, grabbing map pieces, and visiting every island you spot cuts the backtracking needed for Cartographer, King of the Castle, and Seven Deadly Seas.
Save the legendary ships for after the Jackdaw is upgraded, since they are the toughest fights. Handle hunting objectives when you find them so Perfect Predator, Matador, and Friend To All are done before the endgame.

Note: There is no multiplayer component, so you can take multiple playthroughs if needed and there is no risk of a permanently missable online trophy.
