Collecting all 11 portraits in Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced is a worthwhile endeavor, rewarding players with the Haytham's Kenway Overcoat legendary outfit and a treasure map. This map, in turn, leads to a legendary cutlass known as The Fortune. The portraits themselves are typically found as standalone collectibles, often placed on walls or eagle nests, rather than hidden within treasure chests.
Portrait Locations and How to Obtain Them
To begin your art collection, here are the specific locations and requirements for each portrait:
Bartholomew Roberts' Portrait can be acquired after unlocking the Principe region during the "Trust is Earned" main quest. It is located in the northeast of the region, near the beach, at coordinates (113, 20), inside a small, open tent. Players can return to Principe by sailing to coordinates (937, 416) on the regular map.
Ben Hornigold's Portrait is situated on a shipwreck in the northeast corner of Santanillas, at coordinates (191, 223).
Blackbeard's Portrait requires completing the "Blackbeard's Treasure" side quest, which becomes available after obtaining his treasure map during the "Do Not Go Gently" main quest. The map guides players to Anotto Bay at coordinates (591, 244), north of Kingston, where the portrait is found in the final cave chamber.
Commodore Chamberlaine's Portrait is located directly below the western viewpoint in Nassau, at coordinates (589, 757). Players should descend to the second story on the east side, above the front door, to find the room containing the portrait.
El Tiburon's Portrait is within the fortress in the northwest corner of Havana, on the north side, at coordinates (204, 608). The easiest approach is to start at the beach to the north, climb the scaffolding, and enter the fort through a gap on the right.
Julien Du Casse's Portrait is found within the manor in Great Inagua, specifically in the first room to the right upon entering, at coordinates (827, 443).
Laureano de Torres' Portrait is located in a room inside the northeastern fortress in Havana, on the northeast side. It hangs on the wall next to a special chest at coordinates (224, 595).
Laurens Prins' Portrait becomes accessible during the "Unmanned" main quest. Players should enter the mansion in the northwest corner of Kingston, at coordinates (594, 174), and proceed to the veranda's right side to find an open window leading to the portrait.
Robert Maynard's Portrait is in Port Royal, leaning against the church walls directly below the northeastern viewpoint, at coordinates (602, 134). This collectible is only obtainable after completing "A World Without Gold," which itself is unlocked after finishing the "Everything Is Permitted" main quest.
Stede Bonnet's Portrait is awarded upon completion of the "Captain Stede Bonnet" side quest. While the quest begins and ends in Great Inagua, the portrait is received on Mystery Island. This side quest is unlocked after completing the "Marooned" main quest.
Woodes Rogers' Portrait is unlocked during the "A Governor No Longer" main quest. Players should navigate to the central viewpoint in Kingston, above the church. The portrait is inside the mansion north of this church, at coordinates (618, 171). Approaching the front entrance and looking for guards between two connected buildings will reveal an open door on the right leading to the portrait.
Upon collecting all portraits and placing them on the manor walls in Great Inagua, players will receive the treasure map. This map points to a buried treasure on Great Inagua's southern beach at coordinates (820, 430), which contains The Fortune cutlass. Players seeking further collectibles can also look for trinkets, Mayan stones, pets, and shanties throughout the game.
