A World Without Gold — Endgame Walkthrough

**A World Without Gold** is Black Flag Resynced's exclusive endgame chapter — roughly eight new missions and the capstone of six hours of added narrative. Edward hunts **Robert Maynard**, the historical Royal Navy officer who ended Blackbeard's reign, across reworked playas and naval battlefields. The chapter culminates in a boss fight against **HMS Ipswich**, a legendary-grade warship unique to the remake. Start after main campaign credits unless you prefer to finish legendaries first.

Unlock Requirements

Complete the main story through Sequence 12. The chapter appears in your quest log as optional epilogue content. Matt Ryan returns with new performances across these missions. Three officer questlines should be finished for HMS Ipswich — Ram Dash from The Padre is near-mandatory.

Mission Flow Overview

• Early missions establish Maynard's hunt across Caribbean playas with new combat encounters
• Mid-chapter missions tie into Blackbeard legacy threads and Edward's post-pirate identity
• Naval segments escalate toward HMS Ipswich with fire barrel mechanics
• Final mission: sink Ipswich using stern attacks and swivel-detonated fire barrels

HMS Ipswich Boss Tactics

Ipswich mirrors La Dama Negra's armor — broadside trades are ineffective. Stay astern, **Perfect Brace** mortars, and when the ship drops **fire barrels**, swivel-gun them immediately for explosive hull damage. Padre's Ram Dash helps close distance after brace windows.
