Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag Resynced Collectibles Guide: Where to Find Them

Venturing through Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag Resynced means you’ll constantly stumble into new collectibles scattered across its islands and open water. Expect plenty of variety: Chests, Data Files, Keys, Letters (often found in bottles), Secrets, Song Sheets/Shanties, Treasure Maps, and Viewpoints. While grabbing everything can slow your pace and eat up a lot of playtime, a solid collectibles guide makes the grind far more manageable by pointing you toward what matters and where it all is.

In this guide-style breakdown, the focus is on the full set of collectibles you can chase—starting with the most familiar category.

All Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag Resynced Collectibles

Chests

Chests are among the most common items you’ll encounter. They’re present in essentially every region, and their contents are broad enough to keep you checking back—ranging from cash to special gear, including weapons and outfits that can change how you approach your next mission.

  • Chests Locations

Data Files

Data Files are where you get more context for everything happening beyond Edward’s main storyline. These entries focus on the broader situation outside of his narrative, including ties to Abstero Industries and other details that expand the game’s world.

  • Data Files Locations

Keys

Keys pull double duty: they’re both collectibles and a form of in-game currency. Instead of being just another item to pick up, they can be used within Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag Resynced, and you’ll need to seek them out in specific spots rather than finding them everywhere.

  • Keys Locations

Letters

Letters come in the form of messages in bottles, a classic touch for this setting. Tracking them down helps you learn where they are and also reveals more about the game’s characters as well as real historical figures tied to the period.

  • Letters Locations

Secrets

Beyond the standard scatter of chests, shanties, and other everyday pickups, larger areas also hide standout finds. These special items are labeled as Secrets, and the guide is intended to help you locate them without wasting time guessing.

  • Secrets Locations

Song Sheets/Shanties

While you travel across the seas, your crew can break into songs that make the journey feel more alive. To keep your repertoire broad and filled with variety, you’ll want to pick up Song Sheets/Shanties across every region you visit.

  • Song Sheets/Shanties Locations

Treasure Maps

  • Treasure Maps Locations

Treasure Maps do exactly what their name promises: they reveal where hidden treasures are stashed. Once you find the maps, you’ll be able to review the coordinates and dig up distinctive items you wouldn’t stumble upon through normal exploration.

Viewpoints

Viewpoints are a staple of the series for a reason. If you’re looking to fill out your knowledge of each region, climb up to these high points to uncover both the local map and the placement of other collectibles nearby.

  • Viewpoints Locations
