Black Flag Resynced Collectibles Guide
Last updated: July 2026
Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced preserves the Caribbean's reputation as one of the densest open worlds in the series. Between Edward's land excursions and Jackdaw voyages, you will hunt sea shanties, Animus fragments, buried treasures, synchronization chests, Templar keys, and dozens of smaller pickups that feed the Abstergo economy and Edward's cosmetic rewards. Resynced updates the map UI, adds clearer collectible icons after synchronization, and lets you sail into ports without loading screens — which makes systematic cleanup faster than the 2013 original if you plan routes carefully.
Use the pages below as your regional reference. Start with the world map overview to understand how zones connect, then tackle shanties and Animus fragments during natural travel so you are not backtracking later. Buried treasures require maps sold by merchants or found in the world; track them with our collectibles checklist for 100% completion ahead of the July 9, 2026 launch.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many collectibles are in Black Flag Resynced?
Totals match the original campaign scope with Resynced map revisions. Expect roughly 35 shanties, 100 Animus fragments, 22 buried treasure maps, and hundreds of smaller items. Use our checklist for per-category counts updated at launch.
Do collectibles carry over in New Game Plus?
Ubisoft has not confirmed New Game Plus for Resynced pre-launch. Assume collectibles are per save unless official patch notes state otherwise.
Can I see collectibles on the map before synchronizing?
View points reveal regional icons. Resynced improves icon clarity and filtering compared to the 2013 UI, but some items still require proximity or story progress.
What is the fastest route to 100%?
Synchronize all view points first, sweep shanties while sailing between regions, grab fragments on rooftops during story missions, and save buried treasures for when you can afford map purchases from harbormasters.
