A Poxy Bird
Bronze
Captain your own ship (complete “The Treasure Fleet” main quest).
All Hands On Deck
Bronze
Recruit all officers. Follow “A World Without Gold” to get the last one, Tobias “Deadman” Smith.
Among Thieves
Bronze
Unlock a smuggler’s chest. These are “special chests” that count as location secrets. You’ll find one in every smuggler’s den, which is any “cave” location on the map, such as Anotto Bay and San Juan.
Articles of Agreement
Bronze
Ensure the survival of all pirates in a street fight. These are random side activities marked by a broken chain symbol. When you see one (usually in a large town), rescue the pirates to obtain the achievement.
Backs to the Wall
Bronze
Kill an enemy with a wall takedown. In other words, use Edward’s forward kicking attack to kick an enemy into a wall.
Blow the Man Down
Silver
Shoot down all the hanging bodies (three in total) in Long Bay. Travel to the northeast viewpoint in Long Bay, at coordinates (505, 232), where you’ll find the first body directly below you. Drop about halfway down the watchtower to shoot it. From there, take the path to the southwest, where you’ll find the other two bodies strung up above the road, at coordinates (501, 228).
Business and Pleasure
Bronze
Spend 50,000 reales.
Cartographer
Silver
Visit every location in the game. This includes every marked location, including forts and shipwrecks (diving bell locations). Progress the main story to unlock places like Principe, Isla Providencia, and shipwrecks. Beware that unlocking them on the map isn’t enough; you have to pay a visit.
Caught ‘Em All
Bronze
Catch at least five enemies within a single smoke bomb’s area of effect.
Collective Madness
Silver
Add one of each ship class to Kenway’s fleet, including a schooner, brig, frigate, and man-of-war.
Davy Jones’ Locker
Bronze
Swim to the lowest point on the map, which is in a shipwreck (diving bell) location. After completing the “Diving for Medicines” main quest, go to The Black Trench at coordinates (184, 425). At the bottom of the sea, swim south. When you see the dark trench below you (behind a large wreck and some jellyfish), go west. At the end of the path, you’ll find an old diving bell. Swim to the bottom of this diving bell (you may have to move around a bit) to trigger the Davy Jones’ Locker achievement.
Devil of the Caribbean
Silver
Dilettante
Silver
Fill every art collection and equipment slot in the Great Inagua manor. Every room needs several paintings, weapons, and objects, so be careful not to miss any. Here’s what you’ll need:
Entrance hall: One piece of furniture, one table decoration, two large table decorations, four paintings.
Fleet planning room: Two table decorations, one painting, three portraits, 20 ship models (all in the same cabinet).
Basement: One portrait halfway down the stairs, and another six below.
Living room: One table decoration, 27 shelf decorations, 18 swords, 12 pistols, one painting.
Bedroom: Two furniture, one table decoration, three paintings, one portrait, one outfit.
You’ll obtain most of these items by questing and looting, but you also need to do piracy missions with Kenway’s fleet. Save your game before you look at the available piracy missions, and if none of them offer decorative items, reload your save and try again.
Double Tap
Bronze
Parry two ocelot attacks in rapid succession. Ocelots appear in Cumberland Bay, at coordinates (643, 347), and on Abaco Island, at coordinates (586, 805).
Dressing Overall
Bronze
Equip new cosmetics in each of the Jackdaw’s vanity slots. Restore and use the Harbormaster shop in Great Inagua, go to the Jackdaw’s upgrade menu, and choose “appearances.” Change the default vanity item in every slot (sails, wheel, etc.) and you’re done.
Ed the Diver
Bronze
Swim a total of 1000m underwater, excluding underwater shipwrecks.
Edward Catway
Bronze
Break 50 potted plants. You’ll likely achieve this one without even trying, but if not, look for potted plants around any town building. Use any attack to break them.
Ever a Splinter
Gold
Stop a Templar plot (complete the “Ever a Splinter” main quest).
Friend to All
Bronze
Interact with all seven friendly animals. This includes cats and monkeys (only the tamed monkeys you get to keep as a pet), as well as any dogs, cows, turtles, chickens, and pigs.
Glutton for Nourishment
Bronze
Consume 20 food items.
Governor
Bronze
Restore all buildings in the Great Inagua village. This includes the tavern, brothel, campfire, general store, harbormaster, treasure dealer, and fisherman’s wharf.
Grandmaster
Silver
Win at each of the different tavern games. This includes three games: Checkers, Nine-Man Morris, and Fanorona. Winning at “easy” difficulty will suffice (tavern games marked with only one star).
Gun-kata
Bronze
Use pistols to kill four enemies in a row within five seconds.
Help a Brother Out
Bronze
Complete a Templar hunt sequence. Following the “This Old Cove” main quest, you’ll unlock four Templar quests named after four people: Anto, Rhona Dinsmore, Upton Travers, and Opia Apito. You only need to complete one of these four quest sequences to get the trophy, but beware that each sequence contains several sub-quests.
Hungover
Bronze
Wake up in a haystack. Visit any tavern and keep drinking until you pass out.
Hunter Hunted
Bronze
Defeat a pirate hunter while you’re at maximum “wanted” level. While sailing the Jackdaw, destroy ships or fortresses until the red bar at the top right is full, then defeat an enemy ship with red sails and a skull marker to get this trophy. Be careful; the higher your wanted level, the stronger the pirate hunter ships that’ll come after you, so it can’t hurt to get most of the Jackdaw’s ultimate ship plans first.
In a World Without Gold
Bronze
Witness the end of a legend (complete the “Do Not Go Gently” main quest).
King of the Castle
Silver
Capture all forts. There’s one in every region, marked by a small castle symbol.
Last to Leave
Silver
Take a seat on a burning ship. Burning ships are ocean-based events, and you’ll need a bit of luck to find one (fighting regular ships won’t count). You can board a burning ship to participate in a limited-time looting event, but to get this trophy, you must sit down on a chair on the burning ship’s deck. Not all burning ships contain a chair, but since they spawn quite frequently at coordinates (775, 143), east of Kabah Ruins, you can return to this location until you find one.
Let Me Explain
Bronze
After a perfect parry, perform a total of four takedowns.
Lively Havana
Bronze
Get a tour of Havana (complete the main quest of the same name).
Matador
Bronze
Dodge a total of three charge attacks by a wild pig (swine). They’re quite common, especially on Mariguana Island at coordinates (851, 515).
Not So Little Friend
Bronze
Unlock the secondary firing mode on a Jackdaw weapon. This doesn’t require any special action on your end, just complete the “Proper Defenses” main mission.
Old Ironsides
Bronze
Perform three perfect braces.
Overdesign IV
Silver
Kick a berserk enemy caught in smoke off a ship. First, complete the “Overrun and Outnumbered” main quest to unlock every required ability. Then, board a ship and select a victim: Hit them with a berserk dart, hit them with a smoke bomb, then kick them off the ship.
Owned
Bronze
Complete every activity in a single location. Find secrets, hunt animals, open chests, etc.
Perfect Predator
Bronze
Get a perfect harpoon shot on a great white shark. You can find them at coordinates (314, 47) and coordinates (490, 303).
Prizes, Plunder, and Adventure!
Platinum
Win every trophy (complete every other achievement on this list).
Return the Favor
Silver
Dash ram a ramming brig. First, recruit the ship officer called The Padre by completing his officer quest, which becomes available after “This Old Cove.” This will unlock the dash ram ability for the Jackdaw. Next, use the spyglass to identify a brig, then wait for it to come at you (head first, at full speed) and use the dash ram before it hits your ship.
Seven Deadly Seas
Bronze
Find all treasure chests in underwater shipwrecks. Unlock shipwrecks (diving bell locations) by completing the “Diving for Medicines” main quest, then fully complete all seven shipwreck locations by opening every treasure chest.
Ship This
Silver
Fully upgrade the Jackdaw. You can purchase the upgrades at the harbormaster in Great Inagua, once you’ve restored his shop following the “This Old Cove” main quest.
Silence, Fool!
Bronze
Kill a guard ringing a bell. Almost any heavily guarded area contains an alarm bell.
Smooth Operator
Bronze
Craft an item. Open the inventory, go to the crafting menu, and spend some animal hides to get your first crafting item. The name is a bit confusing, but these are basically permanent skill upgrades for Edward.
Strike the Colors
Bronze
Board a lead convoy ship. These are very common sea events. Sail the Jackdaw until you see a bunch of ships marked “Naval Convoy,” then defeat the largest one and board it.
The Hangman
Bronze
Kill 10 enemies by hanging them with the rope dart. You will unlock this ability during the “Sugarcane and Its Yields” main quest.
The Memory of My Memory
Bronze
Display all character portraits in the Great Inagua manor. You must find all 11 portrait locations and put them on the manor walls.
Unsinkable
Bronze
Survive a rogue wave taken from the side. During a storm, when a particularly large wave comes toward the Jackdaw, don’t face it head-on (as you normally should) but allow it to hit the ship sideways.
Walls That Hold Back the Wind
Bronze
Settle in a new home (complete the “This Old Cove” main mission).
Yo Ho…
Bronze
Learn a new shanty. Obtain any shanty to complete this trophy.
Zero Waste
Bronze
Restore a map from map pieces. Unlock the Treasure Dealer on Great Inagua, who offers a map restoration service. You must find all missing map pieces for one of the five restored maps. The “digested map” is by far the easiest.
