The Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced trophy guide covers 50 PS5 trophies including the Platinum, and 49 achievements on PC and Xbox Series X|S. Per IGN at research date 2026-07-15, none of the trophies or achievements can be missed, and the Platinum is fully achievable in a single playthrough. Per stevivor, every award is unlockable offline at any difficulty, and PSNProfiles tracks an average trophy rate of around 23% as a snapshot of player progress.
Why the Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced Trophy Guide Looks Different From the 2013 Original
Resynced inherits the bulk of the 2013 trophy structure but adds trophies tied to the new content branch. The PS5 list at PSNProfiles (snapshot 2026-07-15) includes the Platinum plus a mix of Bronze, Silver, and Gold trophies; the Xbox / PC list at TrueAchievements reaches 49 total achievements. IGN's launch-day wiki confirms the count and the "none can be missed" line. The list below uses category groupings rather than rarity-only ordering, so a player running the Platinum route can scan by story chapter.
The split that returning 2013 players most often miss is the addition of trophies tied to the Sequence 8 Blackbeard storyline, the three new Jackdaw officers, and the Animus Hub Project loop. The walkthrough page carries the sequence-by-sequence trigger for those; the Jackdaw upgrades page is the right reference for ship-completion trophies; and the collectibles page covers the treasure map, shanties, and viewpoint sync counts.
Single-Playthrough, Offline, And Difficulty Notes
IGN's Resynced guide wiki at research date 2026-07-15 is explicit: "none of the trophies can be missed", which means the Platinum route is a single-playthrough run rather than the doubled playthrough the 2013 original needed in some entries. stevivor's coverage at research date 2026-07-15 confirms every trophy and achievement can be earned offline and at any difficulty setting. That combination is the single biggest shortcut for Platinum hunters who remember the 2013 mandatory online / hard mode gates.
In practice this means:
- Set difficulty to whatever you want; do not bounce between presets mid-run.
- Skip the multiplayer / Wolfpack tier entirely. There is no multiplayer in Resynced, so the 2013 online trophies do not exist on this list.
- Run every category (Story, Fort, Naval, Collectibles, Exploration) once. The trophies route is fully covered in one complete playthrough.
Missable Status And Snapshot Caveats
Even though IGN confirms none can be missed, two practical caveats apply at research date 2026-07-15:
- Rarity percentages on PSNProfiles and TrueAchievements are point-in-time snapshots and will move as the player base fills in. Use the list itself as the priority, not the rarity numbers.
- Animus Hub Project trophies depend on Ubisoft's live content calendar. If a crossover project rotates out, the trophy requirement may shift. Check the Animus Hub page for the current Project cycle before relying on a specific reward.
Per-Category Trophy Breakdown
The categories below follow the same grouping used in the IGN Resynced trophy wiki at research date 2026-07-15, with examples drawn from the PSNProfiles and TrueAchievements lists.
Story Trophies
Story trophies fire automatically as you move through the walkthrough sequence order. They cover Edward's progression from Sequence 1 through the epilogue, the Sequence 8 Blackbeard branch, the Captain Stede Bonnet quest, and The Black Tides end-game bridge. There are no chapter-skips, so a linear playthrough picks up every story trophy on the way to Platinum. The total story-trophy count is roughly a third of the list; PSNProfiles lists them as Bronze-tier awards grouped under "story progression" at research date 2026-07-15.
Fort Trophies
Fort trophies cover the four mandatory assault objectives that gate progression between Sequence 6 and Sequence 12. Each fort clear contributes a Jackdaw upgrade component and a Bronze-tier trophy. IGN's Resynced wiki at research date 2026-07-15 lists the fort-specific trophy names and the corresponding fort locations. Missing one of these requires re-attempting the fort, but they cannot be permanently skipped on a single playthrough.
Naval Trophies
Naval trophies cover Jackdaw combat milestones: sinking ships of specific tiers, surviving naval combat engagements, boarding ships, and using the upgraded weapons (Mortar, Round and Heated Shot, Ram). The Naval category is the natural cross-reference with the Jackdaw upgrades hub, since several naval trophies only unlock after you finish the priority upgrade list at research date 2026-07-15.
Collectibles Trophies
Collectibles trophies cover treasure-map pieces, shanties, Animus Data Files, keys, letters, secrets, and viewpoints. The full collectible breakdown lives on the collectibles hub. Treasure-map piece trophies are tied to digging at the seven map piece sites documented by TheGamer at research date 2026-07-15. Viewpoint sync trophies fire after every Viewpoint sync, which also unlocks map chunks used elsewhere on this site.
Exploration Trophies
Exploration trophies cover viewpoint sync, tailing missions without detection, optional assassinations, and Animus Hub activity. Several exploration trophies intersect with the Animus Hub Projects (Riptides, Undertow) and the Animus Keys / Data Fragments currency loop. The Animus Hub page is the follow-up read for the modern-day layer that drives several exploration-tier awards.
Platinum Route In One Playthrough
The recommended order is the same as the linear walkthrough on the walkthrough page: Sequence 1 through Sequence 13, plus the Sequence 8 Blackbeard side missions, the Stede Bonnet quest, and The Black Tides end-game bridge. Run every category alongside the story instead of leaving it for a second pass, since the trophies are confirmed non-missable.
The PSNProfiles snapshot at research date 2026-07-15 lists the Platinum trophy and an average trophy rate of around 23%, which is the standard early-window curve for a big-budget single-player release. The number is informational only; treat the trophy list itself as the priority and ignore the rate until the player base stabilises.
