When Can You Access Long Bay in AC Black Flag Resynced
Long Bay is the last story-gated location in the Mayan Mysteries quest. You cannot enter Long Bay until you reach Sequence 10, Mission 03: The Observatory. This is the latest story gate of any Mayan Stone location in the game.
This means the Mayan Mysteries quest literally cannot be completed until near the end of the main story. If you have been collecting all the other stones as you go, Long Bay will be the only one standing between you and the Mayan Outfit. If you are doing a post-story cleanup, this is naturally the last stop on your list.
Do not worry about missing it. There is full free roam after the story ends, so you can always return and collect it at any point once The Observatory mission is complete.
Where Is Long Bay in AC Black Flag Resynced
Long Bay is located in the Charlotte region of the Caribbean map. The island has three viewpoints and opens up as part of the main story during Sequence 10. Once you arrive, sync a viewpoint to reveal the stele marker on your map.
The island is notable because The Observatory itself is here – one of the most significant locations in the main story. The Mayan Stele is positioned conveniently close to the Observatory entrance, so you will likely spot it naturally if you explored the area during or after that mission.
Long Bay Mayan Stele Exact Location
The stele is found in the southern corner of Long Bay, nestled between the large square-shaped stone blocks near the Observatory entrance. The coordinates are approximately 502, 216.
Here is how to find it:
- Arrive at Long Bay in the Charlotte region (requires Sequence 10)
- Sync a viewpoint to reveal the stele marker on your map
- Head south toward the Observatory entrance area
- Look for the large square-shaped stone blocks in the southern corner
- The stele pillar sits between those blocks, just to the side of the Observatory entrance
- Climb to the top of the pillar and press investigate
The stele marker will point you directly to it once a viewpoint is synced. There is also a Data File on the large square-shaped block nearby – worth picking up on the same visit.
Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced Long Bay Mayan Stone Puzzle Solution
Once you activate the stele, Eagle Vision highlights the nearby stone structures. A glowing white pattern appears on the ground below you. Your job is to rotate and scale it until it aligns with those highlighted features.
Here is how to solve the Long Bay puzzle:
- The pattern needs to align with the large square-shaped stone blocks surrounding the stele
- Rotate the overlay to match the highlighted layout of the blocks below
- Scale the pattern up or down as needed to fit the stone formations
- Work one section of the pattern at a time rather than spinning the whole overlay at once
- When aligned correctly, a section of ground begins to glow below you
- Climb down from the stele and walk to the glowing dig spot
- Interact with the dig spot to collect the final Mayan Stone
As always, collecting the stone is a separate step from solving the puzzle. After the ground glows, you must go down and interact with the dig spot. Do not leave the area without doing this – it would be a frustrating mistake on the very last stone.
How Mayan Stele Puzzles Work in Black Flag Resynced
A quick recap of the mechanic if needed:
- Climb to the top of the stele pillar and press the investigation button
- Eagle Vision activates and highlights nearby rocks, ruins, and structures
- A glowing white pattern appears on the ground below
- Rotate and scale the pattern until every part aligns with the highlighted features
- Once aligned, a dig spot glows on the ground
- Climb down, walk to the spot, and interact to collect the Mayan Stone
The puzzle resets each time you approach, so there is no partial progress saved. Take it shape by shape and you will solve it quickly. Stele markers only show on your map after you sync a local viewpoint, so always sync first when arriving at a new island.
What to Do Immediately After Getting the Long Bay Mayan Stone
Once you pick up the Long Bay stone, the Mayan Mysteries quest is complete. A quest marker will appear at Tulum in the Conttoyor region on the western side of the map, labelled Mayan Outfit. Head there immediately to claim your rewards.
- Sail to Tulum in the Conttoyor region
- Head to the sealed Mayan door – the quest marker guides you there
- Interact with the door and select “Place Stone”
- The door opens and reveals the interior of the temple
- Complete a short platforming section inside
- Reach the altar at the top to collect both rewards
You receive the Mayan Outfit and the Yax Tun Pendant. The pendant is the real prize. It makes you completely immune to all gunshots while equipped. This single item changes how you play combat for the rest of the game. Boarding sequences, fort assaults, and late-story missions become significantly easier when enemy bullets cannot hurt you.
In the original 2013 Black Flag, wearing the Mayan Outfit itself gave you bullet protection. In Resynced, outfits are purely cosmetic. The bullet-deflecting ability was moved to the Yax Tun Pendant so you can get the benefit without having to wear the outfit.
