Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced: Where to Find All Portraits

Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced has 11 Edward Kenway enemy portraits to hunt down across the Caribbean, and collecting them all unlocks Haytham Keyway's Overcoat, a new weapon map, and the Memory of My Enemy achievement.

Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced Portrait Locations

Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced has 11 portraits of Edward Kenway’s enemies, and they’re spread across the Caribbean, locked inside forts, tucked into mansions, or handed to you after specific quests.

Some are simple treasure-hunt spots with exact coordinates. Others are quest rewards, which means you can miss them while exploring unless you complete the right missions. The final payoff for finding every portrait is Haytham Keyway’s Overcoat armor, a treasure map to a new weapon, and the Memory of My Enemy achievement.

If you’re playing the remaster for Edward Kenway’s full pirate fantasy, these portraits are one of those satisfying collection tasks that make the world feel personal. They turn famous historical villains into things you can physically hunt down, frame, and hang in the Jackdaw’s home base.

The short version: most portraits are found by coordinates or location, while Blackbeard, Stede Bonnet, and Robert Maynard are tied to quests or late-game progression.

How the Portrait Collection Works

Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced adds portraits of Edward’s major enemies as collectibles, continuing the series’ love of environmental storytelling through small, readable details. In the original game, the Caribbean was already full of hidden caches, naval loot, and pirate lore. Resynced gives you another reason to look inside buildings, climb forts, and revisit the map after quests.

The reward structure is straightforward but worth planning around. If you find all 11 portraits, you unlock Haytham Keyway’s Overcoat, a new treasure map, and the Memory of My Enemy achievement. That makes the collection feel less like decoration and more like a complete endgame checklist.

Here’s the clean breakdown:

  • Total portraits: 11
  • Best reward: Haytham Keyway’s Overcoat armor
  • Achievement: Memory of My Enemy
  • Extra loot: A treasure map leading to a new weapon
  • Quest-only portraits: Blackbeard, Stede Bonnet, Robert Maynard

Bartholomew Roberts Portrait

Bartholomew Roberts’ portrait is on the northeast side of Principe, at coordinates 113,20.

When you arrive, look for a small camp and enter the white tent. That’s where the portrait is waiting on the wall inside. It’s one of the easiest portraits to grab because the coordinates point you directly to the structure rather than forcing you to search a larger area.

Ben Hornigold Portrait

Ben Hornigold’s portrait sits at the Santanillas ruins, at coordinates 191,223.

The location is an abandoned ship, and the trick is to climb aboard. Once you’re on the deck, head toward the captain’s quarters. The portrait is near the door, so it’s visible once you’ve made the ship your target instead of treating the ruins as a general landmark.

Blackbeard Portrait

Blackbeard’s portrait is not found by wandering the open world. You earn it automatically after completing the Blackbeard’s Treasure quest in Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced.

That’s a very Ubisoft-style reward, and it works because Blackbeard is one of the game’s most iconic pirate figures. Instead of making players comb the map for a tiny wall portrait, the game hands it to you after the story beat that makes him feel relevant again.

Commodore Chamberlaine Portrait

Commodore Chamberlaine’s portrait is on the west side of Nassau, at coordinates 589,757.

Look for a large house with an open second-floor window. Climb up through that window, then check the wall inside for the portrait. It’s a nice little “pirate loot” moment: less temple, more break-in.

El Tiburon Portrait

El Tiburon’s portrait is on the northwest side of Havana, at coordinates 204,608.

The area is marked by a large fort. Rather than entering through the front, go around the back and look for an opening against the structure. The portrait hangs inside that hidden-ish space, which fits the feeling of Edward slipping past Spanish defenses instead of marching through them.

Julien Du Casse Portrait

Julien Du Casse’s portrait is inside the Manor on Great Inagua.

Enter through the front door, turn right into the next room, and look toward the fireplace. The portrait is centered in that room, facing the fireplace between the couches. If you’ve already cleared the area, it may be gone, but the location should still be easy to recognize.

Laureano de Torres Portrait

Laureano de Torres’ portrait is on the east side of Havana, at coordinates 224,595.

Start at the waypoint, then climb down from the top of the fort. From there, look for an opening in the side of the building. The portrait hangs inside that space, making the fort feel more than just a combat encounter. It’s another reminder that Resynced keeps poking at the original map for little secrets.

Laurens Prins Portrait

Laurens Prins’ portrait is on the northwest side of Kingston, at coordinates 594,174.

The target is a large mansion. Go up the stairs, move to the right side of the mansion, and climb through the window. Once inside, grab the portrait from the wall. It’s one of those locations that makes exploration feel like burglary with excellent loot.

Robert Maynard Portrait

Robert Maynard’s portrait is the most progression-dependent one in the collection. You only get it after completing the A World Without Gold quest near the end of Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced.

After finishing that quest, head to Port Royal at coordinates 602,134. The portrait rests against the building beneath the synchronized viewpoint near the center of Port Royal. Since it appears after a late-game quest, it’s the one most likely to surprise players who finish the story and then go looking for the collection.

Stede Bonnet Portrait

Stede Bonnet’s portrait is another quest reward, this time from the Captain Stede Bonnet side quest.

Unlike the map-based portraits, you don’t need to track down a coordinate for this one. Complete the quest, and the portrait is automatically added to your collection. That also makes it a good reminder that Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced’s added content is not just cosmetic; it gives Edward’s pirate circle more room to breathe.

Woodes Rogers Portrait

Woodes Rogers’ portrait is near the center of Kingston, at coordinates 618,171.

This one is in a restricted area, so you’ll either need to sneak in or be ready for a fight. The portrait hangs on the wall under the overpass near the entrance. Climbing the building and jumping down toward the overpass is a reliable way to reach it without getting stuck in the street-level chaos.

What the Portraits Add to Black Flag Resynced

The portraits matter because they turn Edward’s enemies into trophies with a little narrative weight. Assassin’s Creed has always been strongest when its worlds feel inhabited by people who have been there before you, and a wall of captured enemies does that better than a checklist title.

That’s especially useful in Resynced, which is rebuilding Black Flag for modern players. The game is not just repainting the Caribbean; it’s asking players to re-engage with the world’s landmarks, side quests, and hidden corners. The portrait hunt gives that re-engagement a reason.

For players who only sail the Jackdaw and skip shore exploration, this collection may feel like homework. But for anyone who likes the fantasy of Edward Kenway turning the Caribbean into his personal museum of defeated rivals, it’s a small, satisfying piece of closure.

And once you’ve found all 11, the armor and treasure map reward make the effort feel less abstract. You’re not just completing a collectible. You’re dressing Edward in a piece of pirate history and unlocking another lead to hunt down.

Why This Matters
