AC Black Flag Resynced: How to Unlock the Andreas Island Tavern

Win the four-man bar brawl against Edward to clear the tavern and add it to your Andreas Island completion.

Win the four-man bar brawl against Edward to clear the tavern and add it to your Andreas Island completion.

The tavern on Andreas Island in Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced counts toward the region’s 100% completion, and it only registers once you win a short fistfight. Edward gets jumped by a group of drunks the moment you try to order a drink, so the “unlock” is really just surviving that brawl.

Quick answer: Talk to the barkeeper inside the long, straw-roofed building south of the viewpoint, then beat all four drunks who pick a fight with Edward. The tavern is marked as unlocked the instant the last one goes down.

Where the Andreas Island tavern is

The tavern sits near the center of the island, directly south of the wooden viewpoint tower on the northwest side. Look for a long building with a straw roof. You do not need to sync the viewpoint first to reach it, though syncing nearby is convenient since it reveals the rest of the island’s collectibles and animal spawns.


How to clear the tavern brawl

Walk up to the barkeeper and interact to order a drink. A brief cutscene plays where four drunks decide to start a fight with Edward.

Fight all four attackers. This is a fist fight, so there are no weapons involved and no risk of failing the location.
Parry an incoming attack, then follow up with a Takedown. Each successful parry-into-Takedown drops an enemy instantly, which is the fastest way to end the brawl.

How to confirm the tavern is unlocked

The moment the fourth drunk is knocked out, the tavern is added as a completed location on Andreas Island. From then on you can pay at the bar to reveal a hidden treasure map or naval convoy, the same reward tavern brawls unlock across the rest of the map.

Note: Nothing on Andreas Island is missable. Free-roam stays open after the story, so if you skip the brawl now, you can sail back and finish it at any point.
