Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag Resynced has a total of 57 named locations indicated by white question marks on the map (“?”) – 39 Islands including Princípe region, 11 Forts, 7 Shipwrecks. Visiting every location in the game unlocks the Cartographer trophy & achievement.
For the trophy you need to play through the story to unlock all story-exclusive locations, sail to all white question marks (“?” icons) on the map, go near all Forts (so it shows their number of defenses), enter all Underwater Shipwrecks (automatically marked after Sequence 06 – Mission 01: Diving for Medicines). Conquering the Forts isn’t required, just going near them.
Many locations are gated behind story progress. So play through the story first, then sail to all white icons and red icons on the map. Sail close enough that the “Fast Travel” prompt is unlocked on all white icons. Some locations can be hidden beneath quest icons so zoom in on the map too. If you don’t get the trophy recheck that the
“Fast Travel” is unlocked on each white map icon. At the Underwater Shipwrecks you need to use the Diving Bell to enter them, otherwise the Fast Travel won’t unlock and they will show as “Undiscovered”. You DON’T need Hunting Spots (Whaling, Sharks) and Viewpoints, those only appear in the nearby area and don’t stay marked on the map permanently when you leave the region. Only the white map icons and going near all Forts is needed.
You can use the ship’s automatic navigation by putting a waypoint on the map, then while sailing hold
and
and it will automatically sail to the marked spot. Some locations are guarded by strong ships. If your own ship is too weak to defeat them, you can simply dive around them to reach the shoreline. You can also press
on the map to view the locations by type.
You don’t have to step on each island, just get close enough to unlock fast travel to it. You don’t have to destroy the forts, just get close enough to see the “Fast Travel” icon on the map (it will be greyed out until you destroy the forts but that’s enough for this trophy).
2 locations are hidden behind quest icons and easy to miss: Caracol (Punta Guarico), Cayman Sound (Castillo de Jagua).
11 locations require story progress: Fort Punta Guarico (Punta Guarico – Sequence 5), Isla Providencia (Serranilla – Sequence 8), Long Bay (Charlotte – Sequence 10), Princípe (Sequence 9), the 7 Shipwrecks (Sequence 6).
