Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag Resynced has 9 Warehouse Locations. Warehouses are found at plantations and require a key. The key is always found on the plantation where the Warehouse is. Each Warehouse gives a painting which are needed for the Dilettante trophy & achievement to fully decorate Great Inagua manor. So if you’re going for trophies/achievements you’ll have to do all of them once. They can also randomly give the Preserved Map pieces which are needed to restore the Preserved Map at the Treasure Dealer in Great Inagua. You also earn some money and materials from them.
The Warehouses have a 2-hour cooldown after raiding them, and can be done repeatedly. You can speed up the cooldown by using Kenway’s Fleet and sending Frigates on missions. The keys have predetermined locations the first time you do the Warehouses, but afterward they get randomized when you go there again. This guide shows the key locations of the first raid.
Nothing is missable, you can still go everywhere after the story. You can also press
(PS5) /
on the map to filter for Warehouses specifically.
Collectibles Overview:
#1 – Matanzas Warehouse
Key Location (1st Raid): In the south-west corner of the plantation where a crocodile icon is, loot it from the body behind the crocodile pond on the little corner island.
Reward: Painting “Merry Company”
#2 – Cat Island Warehouse
Key Location (1st Raid): You automatically loot this Warehouse during the story in Sequence 03 – Mission 05: Sugarcane and Its Yields. Afterward the key will be randomized (typically looted from one of the enemies).
Reward: Painting “The Burning of the Royal James” (automatic when you loot this warehouse during story)
#3 – Black Island Warehouse
Key Location (1st Raid): Near the warehouse you can overhear two NPCs talking about the soldier with the key near the beach, then the objective marker updates. He stands at a campfire on the path leading to the south-west beach. There are reports that this can bug out for some players. One suspected cause is that Lucy’s 2nd Officer quest “The One with the Gun” can bug it out as it takes you to Black Island for quest objectives and affects the enemy spawns. If you defeated all enemies and none had the key, try finishing Lucy’s 2nd Officer quest (press
on map to see her quests, available after Sequence 04 – Mission 01: This Old Cove), and then wait 2 hours (real time) for the Warehouse to reset and the enemies to respawn.
Reward: Painting “The Flight into Egypt”
#4 – Tortuga Warehouse
Key Location (1st Raid): Loot the key from a banana crate, slightly west from the center of the plantation.
Reward: Painting “Map of the World”
#5 – New Bone Warehouse
Key Location (1st Raid): Loot from enemy at the Mayan Stelae in the north-west corner of the island. He will stand there talking to his girlfriend.
Reward: Painting “An English Ship in Action with Barbary Vessels”
#6 – Havana Warehouse
Key Location (1st Raid): Loot the key from an enemy in the north-west corner of the plantation.
Reward: Painting “Saint Jerome as Cardinal”
#7 – Nassau Warehouse
Key Location (1st Raid): Loot key from enemy at the beach in the south-west of the warehouse area. You can also eavesdrop on two guards at the warehouse who give the hint he has the key.
Reward: Painting “Harbor Scene at Sunset”
#8 – Kingston South Warehouse
Key Location (1st Raid): Loot the key from an enemy directly north of the big barn.
Reward: Painting “Nymphs By A Fountain”
#9 – Kingston North Warehouse
Key Location (1st Raid): Loot the key from enemy who patrols the manor in the north-east corner of the warehouse area.
Reward: Painting “Vanitas Still-life”
That’s all of the Warehouses in AC IV Black Flag (2026 Remake). For all other collectible types refer to the Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag Resynced Collectible Guide.

The guards with the conversation and the key at Black Island are not spawning for me. Killed every guard and looted them but still no key. Is it a bug or locked behind story progression?
PowerPyx says
Same happened to someone else I know. It indeed seems to but out for some players. It *might* have something to do with Officer quests being in progress, particularly Lucy’s 2nd quest “The One with the Gun” which takes you to Black Island. If you’ve not finished that quest yet, do that one first and wait 2 hours real time for the enemies to respawn (press
on map to filter for Officer Quests, available in Sequence 4). Let me know if that fixes it. I’ve added a note that it can bug out.
Charlon says
Thanks for the reply! Unfortunately I finished all Lucy missions, went back, all enemies respawned but still no key holder. The side-activity with the objective prompt is not showing up. I think its bugged

Diogoarez says
Black Island is definitely bugged unfortunately, I got the key on my first raid there but died before I could open the door, now the key refuses to spawn again nor can I open the Warehouse
