What to Do Next After Beating Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced Story
The core campaign of Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced is built around Edward Kenway, charting his rise from a driven pirate into the captain of the Jackdaw. Across 12 Sequences, the journey keeps you busy with naval clashes, open-world discovery, and a lineup of characters players tend to remember long after the credits.
Once the story wraps, the natural question becomes: what else is worth doing? The Resynced edition is a lot more than a simple replay of the original, adding a substantial pile of new activities on top of the base game. Below is a clear rundown of what you can jump into after finishing the main thread.
If you’re aiming for the Davy Jones’ Locker trophy/achievement in Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced, the next step is to swim to the lowest point—where that requirement can be completed.
What to Do After Completing the Main Story in AC Black Flag Resynced
A World Without Gold
The largest chunk of post-story content is the new A World Without Gold chapter, which puts Maynard front and center as the main antagonist.
This optional chapter becomes available after you complete Sequence 11. It includes eight fresh missions and ultimately pays off with a new weapon for the Jackdaw. Even though you can skip it and still finish the main campaign, it follows up on what happens after Blackbeard’s encounter with Maynard—making it one of the standout additions whether you’re revisiting the game or experiencing it for the first time.
Officer Quests
AC Black Flag Resynced also adds three new Naval Officers you can recruit to Edward’s crew. While two of their questlines unlock not long after Sequence 4, you don’t need to rush them; you can comfortably save the Officer content for after you’ve completed the story.
Working through every Officer Quest gives you deeper context for each character. More importantly, it unlocks stronger Jackdaw abilities, and it’s necessary if you want to move forward within A World Without Gold.
Side Quests
With the main plot finished, it’s a great time to tackle the game’s side quests. Most of them are new additions, including Blackbeard’s Treasure, Captain Stede Bonnet’s questline, Art Lover, Damn Fine Gear, and the search for the Mayan Steles scattered throughout the Caribbean. Each quest comes with its own set of rewards, while also giving you more reason to roam and poke around every corner.
Hunts & Contracts
If you like staying in combat, you won’t run out of things to do. The game offers Assassination Contracts, Naval Contracts, and Templar Hunts, all of which pay out substantial amounts of money along with useful resources—and sometimes even legendary outfits.
These activities also help you stack up enough Reales to afford pricier ship upgrades, so they’re a practical option whether you’re chasing gear or just trying to strengthen your fleet.
Exploration
The Caribbean is full of islands that are ready to be explored. You can track down hidden treasures, gather crafting materials, capture forts, and uncover secrets tucked away from the main routes.
Exploration also extends underwater: there are diving locations where you search for treasure beneath the surface while dealing with sharks circling below.
Naval Combat
Taking the Jackdaw out to sea and fighting enemy ships is still one of the biggest highlights of Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced. As you keep upgrading your ship, you can seize enemy vessels to grow your Fleet, then put them to work on missions for additional rewards.
When you’re ready for something tougher, though, the real test comes from tracking down the six Legendary Ships. These are among the hardest naval encounters in the game, but the rewards and the satisfaction of taking them down make the effort worthwhile.
