15 Easter Eggs in Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced

Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced keeps the Caribbean packed with strange little finds that are easy to sail past if you are only chasing main objectives. Some are full pop-culture references, while others are hidden interactions, dark environmental jokes, or odd legacy details tucked into the remake.

Here are the 15 Easter egg-style secrets and hidden details worth checking, with the exact ones to look for and the important limits where a discovery is cosmetic, temporary, or not currently unlockable.

15 Easter eggs and hidden details at a glance

The list mixes classic Easter eggs with secrets that work more like environmental punchlines. That is why the useful way to play it is simple: treat every entry as something to see, hear, unlock, or test yourself while moving through the campaign and dive sites.

Prisoner voices inside the Punta Guarico well

At Punta Guarico fort, the strange voice from the well is one of Resynced’s creepiest small details. Stand near it long enough and you hear a prisoner rambling from below, with the tone sliding from funny to unsettling the more you listen.

The nearby note gives the gag its nasty edge. It reads like a sloppy to-do list left after the fort takeover, implying the prisoners were simply forgotten instead of being removed. The result is a grim little pocket story: the fort changes hands, the cleanup happens, and somebody is still stuck underground losing his mind.

Duncan Walpole’s body at Cape Bonavista

If you return to Cape Bonavista after some time has passed, the starting area has a new trace of what happened after Edward’s first major kill. Near the original fight location, you can spot a streak of dried blood on the ground.

Follow it and it leads into the shrubbery, where Duncan Walpole’s skeleton has been dragged away from the open path. It is a small environmental follow-up, but it makes the opening island feel less like a disposable tutorial space and more like a place the world quietly revisits.

Spanish sermon to scarecrows on an unmarked island

One unmarked island hides a bizarre little scene: a Spanish-speaking priest giving a sermon to a congregation of scarecrows. He keeps going as you move around the area, and the scarecrows obviously have nothing to say back.

The strangest part is that the sermon keeps running through day and night, turning it into a full-time one-man service for an audience made of straw. You can also loot coins around the scene, which makes the whole encounter feel even more like a weird Ubisoft joke that was left for curious players.

The intended outside reference, if there is one, is still unclear. The safe read is that it is a hidden oddity rather than a named movie or game nod.

Remove the blowpipe from Edward’s back temporarily

After Edward gets the blowpipe, it usually stays on his back and can clash badly with cleaner outfits like the Mayan Armor. There is a cosmetic workaround, but it only lasts until you use the blowpipe again.

Use a failed harpoon activity to force Edward back onto the Jackdaw without the blowpipe displayed.

Start any harpoon activity

Pick any harpooning encounter; the trick is tied to the temporary clothing change used during the activity.

Fail the hunt

Waste your harpoons by throwing them away, or let the boat be destroyed by the animal.

Return to the Jackdaw

After the failed activity, Edward is brought back aboard and the blowpipe is no longer visible on his back.

Keep it hidden by not using it

Fast travel and outfit changes can keep the look intact, but using the blowpipe makes Edward put it back on.

This does not delete the blowpipe or change your tools. It is only a temporary visual trick for players who want cleaner outfit screenshots or a less cluttered silhouette while roaming.

Skeleton crew from the Deceased Crew Attire shop

You can turn the Jackdaw’s crew into skeletons with the Deceased Crew Attire ship vanity. The shop is on an unmarked island southwest of Nassau, and the price is unusual: it costs 206 bones, not reales.

The skeleton crew is a vanity unlock, but the bone cost is high enough that you should combine mission rewards, hunting, and trading.

Find the island shop

Sail southwest of Nassau and use the ship vanity shop on the unmarked island.

Select Deceased Crew Attire

The skeleton crew option appears as Deceased Crew Attire and costs 206 bones.

Hunt animals for bones

Kill and skin animals as you travel; bones are not guaranteed every time, so this takes repetition.

Finish Templar Hunt missions

Complete the four Templar Hunt missions to receive 40 bones.

Use the exotic seashell trinket

The exotic seashell trinket doubles skins from animals, which helps you earn money faster even though it does not double bones.

Sell skins for reales

Turn extra skins into cash, then use that money to buy more bones.

Buy bones at Great Inagua

Visit the treasure dealer at Great Inagua; bones cost 1,000 reales each, with the available amount tied to your current money.

The unlock is a pure ship vanity, but it is one of the best visual rewards in Resynced because it changes the whole feel of the Jackdaw’s deck. If you want it early, mix the Templar Hunt reward with normal hunting instead of trying to grind all 206 bones from animals in one stretch.

Cannonball corpse at Fort Eleuthera

At Fort Eleuthera, one unfortunate body is stuck to a wall after being hit by a cannonball. It is a nasty little battlefield detail, and it stands out because it is staged so specifically.

Come back after the fort has been taken over and cleaned up, and the corpse is gone. That makes it a missable pre-capture detail rather than a permanent decoration.

Monkey Island jokes in Nassau and Black Bart’s Gambit

Black Flag has one of its clearest pop-culture nods in Nassau, during the first assassination contract. The pirate target is named Mancomb Seepgood, matching the pirate from the Scumm Bar in Monkey Island.

Edward even comments on the odd name, which helps sell it as a deliberate joke rather than a random pirate label. It is exactly the kind of reference that fits Black Flag’s tone: a pirate game tipping its hat to one of the most famous pirate adventure games ever made.

There is a second Monkey Island-style nod later in Black Bart’s Gambit, where a line points back to LeChuck, the ghost pirate captain. Together, the two references make this one of the strongest themed Easter egg threads in the game.

Ezio voice legacy and locked Assassin robes

One Resynced legacy detail sits around a role and line associated with Roger Craig Smith in the original release. In Resynced, that moment appears with rerecorded voice work instead of the original performance, which makes the Ezio connection feel different if you know the older version well.

The reason for the change is not known, so contract or cost explanations should be treated as speculation. What matters in-game is simpler: a recognizable Assassin’s Creed legacy thread has been altered in the remake.

There is another related legacy detail in the files: Ezio and Altair robes have been found as locked/datamined outfits, alongside other listed clothing entries. They are not currently something players should present as normally unlockable, and future release plans for them are unverified.

Kraken attack at the Antocha Wreck

The Kraken encounter is at the Antocha Wreck. Swim through the wreck and look through the right window to see a huge squid-like creature attack a sperm whale outside.

It is a short visual encounter, not a boss fight or combat event. The power of the secret is the framing: you are trapped in the quiet, pressurized world of a dive site while something massive happens just beyond the glass.

Kraken sails chest on the rigging

The Kraken is also represented as a ship customization reward. The Kraken sails are found in a chest reached by climbing rigging at the shown map location, making this one of the better hidden vanity pickups for the Jackdaw.

The Kraken sails are a chest reward, so the goal is to reach the rigging chest and then equip the design from ship customization.

Go to the mapped chest location

Use the map location for the Kraken sails chest and look for the climbable rigging nearby.

Climb the rigging

Work upward until you can reach the chest positioned on the structure.

Open the chest

Loot it to add the Kraken sails design to your ship vanity options.

<

p class=”vg-step-title” id=”equip-the-sails” style=”margin:16px 0 6px”>Equip the sails

Open ship customization and apply the Kraken design to the Jackdaw.

The chest is worth grabbing if you like ship cosmetics that are visible from a distance. The Kraken design gives the Jackdaw a much more mythic look without changing how the ship performs.

Manta ray and sperm whale models underwater

Some dive sites let you get close to large underwater animal models that usually sit in the distance. The manta ray is visible far above during a dive, and you can swim upward toward it for a closer look.

The catch is oxygen. Push too far upward and Edward can drown before you make it back safely, so treat the manta ray as a visual or photo-mode discovery rather than a collectible with a reward attached.

The sperm whale is easier to admire at Blue Hole, where you can get a better view without the same awkward upward swim. These models are not hidden bosses or hunt targets; they are detailed background creatures that become more impressive when you deliberately go looking for them.

Metal Gear-style ocelot skinning line

When Edward skins an ocelot, he can deliver a short line that works as a Metal Gear-style nod. The joke comes from the animal name lining up with one of Metal Gear’s most recognizable characters.

The exact wording has been repeated differently by players, so the important part is the trigger: hunt and skin an ocelot, then listen for the brief remark after the animation.

Caged parrot feed animation

A caged parrot can be interacted with for a small feed animation and audio gag. It is easy to miss because the cage looks like normal set dressing until the prompt appears.

This is not a quest, collectible chain, or reward path. It is just one of those small Black Flag interactions that makes towns and camps feel a little more playful if you poke at the props.

Calico Jack cage dialogue in To Suffer Without Dying

In the memory To Suffer Without Dying, there is a hidden dialogue payoff near Calico Jack on the beach. Interact with the cage and then stay nearby long enough for the exchange to play out.

The missable part is the waiting. If you walk away too quickly, you can cut off the payoff and miss the darker joke around his situation.

Abstergo pitch file in the CCO office

During the modern-day sections, an optional hack in the CCO office reveals an Abstergo Entertainment file full of internal project ideas. It works as a meta joke because Abstergo is pitching entertainment products from inside the fiction of Assassin’s Creed itself.

The file also plays like franchise foreshadowing, pointing at the kind of historical settings and product ideas the series would keep circling. The important thing is to hack optional computers instead of treating the office segments as straight hallways between story beats.

More Resynced secrets worth separate guides

Several related secrets are better saved for their own focused guides instead of being squeezed into this list. The Jackdaw wreck in Freedom Cry, Animus heritage gear, Blackbeard’s Treasure, A World Without Gold, the Mayan Stones payoff, treasure maps, and the status of classic cheats all deserve dedicated coverage.

Those are bigger unlock paths or mode-specific discoveries, while the 15 above are the cleaner set of hidden moments, visual gags, and Easter egg-style details to check during a normal Resynced playthrough.
