Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag Remaster: Main Story + Side Mission Guide
Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced centers on Edward Kenway, a pirate drawn into a long-running feud between the Assassins and the Templars while he crosses the Caribbean by sea. Beyond its main campaign, the game is dense with optional activities—things to do on land, at sea, and in between—so progress can be shaped around exploration as much as it is around story beats.
The campaign is structured into 12 Sequences, with each one composed of multiple missions. As you move through them, the game gradually opens new areas and opportunities, nudging you to roam further while still advancing the narrative. Below is a complete list of the main missions, followed by the major side quest categories and entries included throughout the experience.
If you’re struggling to decode treasure maps in Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced, you’re not alone—this guide-style list should help you keep your bearings when you’re chasing loot and clues.

Why the New “A World Without Gold” Chapter Changes How You Play
A World Without Gold is presented as a brand new chapter added in AC Black Flag Resynced, and it wasn’t part of the original release. Built from eight missions, the storyline focuses on the hunt for Maynard and functions as an expanded chapter within Edward’s broader adventure, adding an entirely new Sequence to the overall campaign flow.
Timing matters here: it becomes available right after you complete Sequence 11. That means you can wrap up this new chapter before you take on the final Sequence, or you can postpone it and return later if you’d rather finish the main thread first.
- It’s an additional eight-mission chapter, not a small side diversion.
- The plot centers on tracking down Maynard, extending Edward’s story beyond the original structure.
- You can choose when to do it: immediately after Sequence 11 or later before/after the final push.
