Sacrifice Island Mayan Stone Walkthrough – Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced

The Sacrifice Island Mayan Stone in Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced is found right in front of the southern Viewpoint on the island, in the Conttoyor region on the far eastern edge of the Caribbean map. It’s one of the easiest stelae to find once you’ve synced the Viewpoint — the pillar is directly in front of you when you descend. What makes Sacrifice Island worth a full stop is that it’s also the dig site for the Restored Preserved Map, which rewards the Shade and Shadow Robes and the Wooden Eyeball trinket — two of the most powerful legendary rewards in the game. There are also two notable secrets here, including Captain Drake’s Swords and the Captain Drake’s Outfit in an underwater chest.

• The stelae is right in front of the southern Viewpoint on Sacrifice Island, in the Conttoyor region.
• Sportskeeda confirms the stelae is in the middle/center section of the island.
• This stelae is new to Resynced — it did not exist in the original 2013 game. It replaces the second Santanillas stone from the original Black Flag.
• The area around the stelae is heavily restricted with many enemies — clear the area before solving the puzzle.
• The Restored Preserved Map digs up at coordinates 14, 554 on Sacrifice Island — rewards the Shade and Shadow Robes (Legendary Outfit) and the Wooden Eyeball (Legendary Trinket, pistol quickshots instantly kill brutes).
• Captain Drake’s Outfit is found in a chest at coordinates 23, 552 on the east side of the island, accessible by swimming underwater.
• Captain Drake’s Swords are a secret on the western side, before climbing to the northern Viewpoint.
• Total collectibles: 10 — 2 Viewpoints, 1 Mayan Stelae, 2 Chests, 3 Secrets, 2 Huntable Animals.

Sacrifice Island is one of the most loot-dense stops in the game for its size. For all 16 stelae across the Caribbean, the complete AC Black Flag Resynced Mayan Stelae locations guide has every one with coordinates and puzzle solutions.

Where Is Sacrifice Island in AC Black Flag Resynced?

Sacrifice Island is in the Conttoyor region, on the far eastern edge of the Caribbean map. Sportskeeda describes it as the easternmost section of the playable area. It’s accessible by sailing east from Tulum and has no story gate — you can visit as soon as you have the Jackdaw and open-world sailing is unlocked. When you arrive, sync both Viewpoints to reveal all collectible markers. The southern Viewpoint is the one directly next to the stelae, so syncing it first pins the stelae marker and all nearby secrets at the same time.

Sacrifice Island Is New Content in Resynced

Worth flagging before you start looking: Sacrifice Island’s Mayan Stelae did not exist in the original 2013 Black Flag. Multiple sources including GamesRadar and our own all-stelae guide confirm it is a new addition in Resynced, replacing the second Santanillas stelae that was in the original game. If you’re playing Black Flag for the first time with the Resynced remake, this is straightforward. If you’re a returning player who remembers the original locations, Santanillas now has only one stelae — the second one has moved here.

Where Is the Sacrifice Island Mayan Stelae?

The stelae is right in front of the southern Viewpoint. After syncing it, look directly ahead and slightly downhill — the pillar is immediately visible. The GameSpot guide notes the stelae is in a middle/central area of the island, making it easy to approach from multiple directions once you know the southern Viewpoint is your anchor point.

Clear the Area First

Dualshockers specifically warns that the area around the Sacrifice Island stelae is restricted and filled with enemies. This is more heavily guarded than islands like Cat Island or Tortuga. Before climbing the pillar, clear the nearby soldiers so you won’t be interrupted or forced off the pillar mid-puzzle. The island has enough patrol routes that a quick sweep with Sleep Darts or a stealth approach through the surrounding cover is the cleanest option before committing to the solve.

How to Solve the Sacrifice Island Mayan Stelae Puzzle

Climb to the top of the pillar and press the interaction button (Triangle on PS / Y on Xbox) to begin. The puzzle solution for Sacrifice Island is not covered in full text detail across sources — the GameSpot guide references a visual solution image. Based on the surrounding ruins visible from the pillar, the standard approach applies:

• Activate Eagle Vision once on top to identify the highlighted objects on the ground below.
• Rotate and scale the overlay using the right stick until all glowing shapes sit inside the correct markers.
• Look for the dominant object in the ruins — the largest or most distinct feature — and use it as your anchor point for the big circle or rectangle in the overlay.
• Once every shape is locked, the puzzle completes automatically.

After the puzzle solves, a green dig marker appears on the ground nearby. Climb down, head to it, and press the dig button to collect the Sacrifice Island Mayan Stone. Solving the puzzle and picking up the stone are always two separate steps.

The Restored Preserved Map — Shade and Shadow Robes

Sacrifice Island is also the dig site for one of the most valuable Restored Map rewards in the game. The Restored Preserved Map is assembled at the Treasure Dealer on Great Inagua using four Preserved Map fragments collected by raiding military warehouses across the Caribbean. Havana, Cat Island, Matanzas, and Nassau are all confirmed warehouse sources for these fragments.

Once the map is restored, head to Sacrifice Island at coordinates 14, 554. The dig spot is under the shade of two connected rock formations in the northern or northwest part of the island, near a large stone archway on the beach. Dig there to unearth:

• Shade and Shadow Robes — A Legendary Outfit. New to Resynced and not available in the original game.
• Wooden Eyeball — A Legendary Trinket with a powerful unique perk: pistol quickshots instantly kill brute enemies. This makes boarding sequences and combat encounters with armoured enemies considerably faster.

For a full breakdown of every buried chest in the game including all five Restored Map rewards, the treasure map locations guide covers everything with coordinates and rewards listed.

Captain Drake’s Outfit and Swords

Two of Sacrifice Island’s three secrets are tied to the Captain Drake gear set, which makes this island worth clearing completely:

• Captain Drake’s Swords — Found on the western part of the island, before you climb the wall to the northern Viewpoint. Look for the collectible on your approach to the second Viewpoint climb.
• Captain Drake’s Outfit — This chest is on the east side of the island, accessed by swimming underwater. The Mobalytics outfit guide places it at coordinates 23, 552. Dive in at the eastern shore and the chest is submerged in front of the island’s underwater face.

The third secret collectible on the island is revealed after syncing the Viewpoints.
