All Character Portraits — Locations in Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced

Character Portraits are a brand new collectible in Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced. There are 11 in total, scattered across the Caribbean, and hanging all of them in the Great Inagua manor unlocks the The Memory of My Enemy trophy and achievement — plus a bonus treasure map. This guide covers every portrait, where to find it, and what story progress you need first.

• TL;DR
• There are 11 Character Portraits to find in AC Black Flag Resynced
• Portraits are not the same as Paintings — they’re a separate collectible type
• They do not appear on the map automatically from syncing Viewpoints — you need to get close to them
• All portraits require some story progress — safest to collect them all after finishing the main story
• 3 portraits require specific side quests: Blackbeard’s Treasure, Captain Stede Bonnet, and A World Without Gold
• A World Without Gold also requires recruiting Officers Lucy Baldwin and The Padre first
• After collecting all 11, hang them in the manor frames to trigger the reward cutscene
• Reward: The Memory of My Enemy trophy/achievement + a treasure map for Great Inagua

Character Portraits vs Paintings — What’s the Difference

These are two completely different collectible types in the game. Portraits are the 11 character paintings covered in this guide and are tracked under Codex > Database > Portraits. Paintings are a separate set of 12 art pieces obtained from Warehouses and merchants, tracked under Art Collection. Both go on the manor walls, but only the Portraits count toward The Memory of My Enemy. Don’t mix them up.

Important Tips Before You Start

• Don’t try to collect portraits mid-story. Most portraits only spawn at their locations after you’ve reached or passed the relevant story mission. Collect them all in free roam after completing the main campaign to avoid missing any.
• Portraits don’t appear on the map from Viewpoints. Unlike chests or shanties, syncing a Viewpoint won’t reveal portrait icons. They only appear on the map when you physically get close to them.
• Track your progress in Codex > Database > Portraits to see which ones you’re missing by their Codex number.
• A World Without Gold requires two Officers. You need Lucy Baldwin and The Padre recruited before the questline’s 4th mission unlocks. Complete their opening officer quests first.

All 11 Character Portrait Locations

Portrait #1 – Julien Du Casse (Codex #4)

Location: Great Inagua — inside the Great Inagua Manor, in the room where you display your weapons (coordinates 827, 443). This is one of the easiest portraits to collect since it’s right in your home base. If it wasn’t there during A Single Madman, return to the manor after completing This Old Cove and it will have spawned. For more on the boss this portrait depicts, see the Julien Du Casse boss guide.

Portrait #2 – Laureano de Torres (Codex #11)

Location: Havana — inside the castle in the north-east of Havana, specifically in the north-west tower (coordinates 224, 595). To reach it, climb to the wooden board slightly to the right above the open window, then use the wooden parts on the wall to drop down into the tower. The portrait is inside. This spawns after story progression.

Portrait #3 – El Tiburon (Codex #10)

Location: Havana — inside the castle on the northern side of Havana (coordinates 204, 608). Use the scaffold in the corner on the outside of the castle to climb up and through the open window. Note that the in-game Codex description incorrectly states this is in Castillo — it’s actually in Havana. After you beat the boss, see our El Tiburon guide for reference on the fight.

Portrait #4 – Commodore Chamberlaine (Codex #3)

Location: Nassau — in the manor on the west side of Nassau, on the top floor (coordinates 589, 757). You can reach the top floor by climbing through the window. Some players have reported this portrait not appearing until later in the story, so if it’s missing, progress further and return.

Portrait #5 – Woodes Rogers (Codex #9)

Location: Kingston — in a manor in the middle of Kingston (coordinates 618, 171). This portrait has a specific story gate — it only spawns after you reach Sequence 12, Mission 01: A Governor No Longer. Don’t look for it before then, it simply won’t be there.

Portrait #6 – Laurens Prins (Codex #7)

Location: Kingston — in the plantation manor on the west side of Kingston (coordinates 594, 174). Head up the stairs from the manor entrance, then check the right side of the raised platform. This one is only accessible after reaching Sequence 05, Mission 03: Unmanned.

Portrait #7 – Ben Hornigold (Codex #5)

Location: Santanillas — on a shipwreck in the north-east corner of Santanillas island (coordinates 191, 223). This is the Hornigold shipwreck site from the mission where you assassinate him. The portrait sits in front of the door to the ship’s cabin. Access it after completing that mission.

Portrait #8 – Bartholomew Roberts (Codex #8)

Location: Princípe — inside one of the tents in the north-east of Princípe (local coordinates 113, 20). Princípe is a separate region off the main Caribbean map. To reach it, click the white “P” icon on the far right side of the world map (world coordinates approximately 939, 415). This portrait only appears after reaching Sequence 09, Mission 02: Trust is Earned. When you’re done, run back to your ship and use the steering wheel to return to the main Caribbean map, since fast travel may be locked in this restricted area.

Portrait #9 – Blackbeard (Codex #1)

Location: Reward from the Blackbeard’s Treasure side quest — available after Sequence 08, Mission 01: Do Not Go Gently.

The quest marker appears at Anotto Bay (coordinates 590, 245). Here’s how to complete it:

• At the cliffside by the sea, find the damaged diving bell and dive down from there
• Look for an underwater cave entrance near jellyfish — swim through it to reach the interior of Anotto Bay
• In the room with pirates, grab one of the small explosive barrels and place it against the destructible wall on the east side — shoot the barrel to blow it open
• Follow the path to the next room, place another barrel at the destructible wall behind the waterfall and blow that open too
• Blackbeard’s Treasure is behind the second wall
• After looting the treasure, fast travel back to Great Inagua and interact with the chest there — you get the portrait after the cutscene

Portrait #10 – Stede Bonnet (Codex #2)

Location: Reward from the Captain Stede Bonnet side quest — available after Sequence 08, Mission 03: Marooned.

The quest starts at Great Inagua manor (coordinates 827, 442). For the main objective, sail to Mystery Island and interact with the stranded schooner on the beach (coordinates 906, 123). Follow the crewmates that appear — all objectives are clearly marked. Complete the quest chain to receive Stede Bonnet’s Portrait as the reward.

Portrait #11 – Robert Maynard (Codex #6)

Location: Reward from the A World Without Gold questline — available after Sequence 11, Mission 03: Everything Is Permitted. This is the most involved portrait in the set.

Before you can complete the questline, you need to recruit two Officers:

• Lucy Baldwin — complete her first two officer quests: A Proper Shipwright (Salt Key Bank: 446, 620) and The One With the Gun (Great Inagua: 818, 445)
• The Padre — complete his first two officer quests: A Second Chance (Caracol: 446, 620) and Loyalty, Discipline, and Courage (Cumberland Bay: 648, 348)

The full A World Without Gold questline has 8 missions in order:

• That Bastard Maynard — Great Inagua (818, 446)
• Not Even a Real Captain — Kingston (616, 154)
• What the Devil! — Cat Island (728, 705)
• It’s a Start — Great Inagua (825, 444) — requires both Officers recruited
• I Just Want to Talk — Nassau (598, 757)
• Not Our Natural Allies — Santanillas (189, 223)
• A Cockalorum — Tortuga (847, 338)
• A World Without Gold — Port Royal (605, 145)

During the final quest in Port Royal, the portrait becomes available below the central Viewpoint of Port Royal (coordinates 602, 134) once the objective Reach Maynard’s Treasure is active. You can grab it during the quest or return to that spot after completing it. See our full A World Without Gold walkthrough for step-by-step help through the whole chain.

How to Hang the Portraits in Great Inagua Manor

Collecting the portraits isn’t enough on its own — you need to physically hang them on the wall frames inside the manor to trigger the trophy. There are 11 wall frames spread across the building:

• 3 in the fleet planning room and adjacent corridor
• 1 in the bedroom, above the bed
• 1 downstairs in the staircase leading to the treasure room
• 6 in the cellar leading to the treasure room

Interact with each empty wall frame and select a portrait to hang it. When you hang the last portrait, a cutscene triggers and The Memory of My Enemy unlocks immediately after. You also receive a treasure map for Great Inagua as an additional reward.

What You Get for All 11 Portraits

• The Memory of My Enemy trophy and achievement
• A treasure map for Great Inagua revealed after the final cutscene

Note that while the Dilettante trophy requires filling the entire manor with art — including 9 Paintings, 41 Art Pieces, 20 Ship Models, 18 Swords, and 12 Pistols — the 11 Portraits are specifically for The Memory of My Enemy. The two trophies require overlapping effort but are tracked separately. Check out the Dilettante trophy guide and Great Inagua upgrades guide if you’re working toward the full manor completion.
