To earn Friend To All in Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced, interact with one turtle, chicken, caged bird, cat, dog, pig, cow, and monkey, then complete the Monkey Business local event in southeast Havana if you also want Albert the Monkey for the Jackdaw.
Friend To All is one of the ambient-world trophies in Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced, and despite the name it has nothing to do with the hunt — you just walk up to seven friendly animals and interact with each one. The route below is the one that works cleanly, running from a turtle on the beaches all the way out to a monkey at Great Inagua, with Albert the Monkey as a separate pet you can grab for the Jackdaw along the way. Ubisoft’s trophy text only says to interact with all seven friendly animals, so treat this roster as the reliable working list rather than a fixed, official checklist.
What Friend To All actually asks for
The trophy is built around interaction, not killing. You are not skinning anything or running down prey — you find a friendly animal, hold the interact prompt, and move on. Each type only needs one successful interaction to count, and a few of them (the cat and dog especially) actually let you pet them rather than just poke at them.
The spots listed here are simply where each animal turned up on one clean run. Turtles, chickens, cats, and dogs in particular spawn all over the map — on beaches, around docks, and inside busy settlements — so if a coordinate is inconvenient, you can usually grab that species almost anywhere you happen to be sailing.
You only need to interact once with each of the seven distinct animal types — never hunt or skin them, because kills do not count toward Friend To All.
All seven friendly animal locations
| Animal | Location | Coordinates |
|---|---|---|
| Turtle | Cape Bonavista | 148, 578 |
| Chicken | Havana | 217, 584 |
| Caged bird | Havana | 215, 579 |
| Cat | Cat Island (restricted) or the Jackdaw cabin | No fixed coordinate |
| Dog | Dock area | 609, 163 |
| Pig | Kingston | 621, 164 |
| Cow | Kingston | 627, 166 |
| Monkey | Great Inagua | 824, 42 |
KEY!
Two of these sit right next to each other in Havana — the chicken at 217, 584 and the caged bird a short run away at 215, 579 — so it is worth clearing both in one visit. The same goes for Kingston, where the pig pen at 621, 164 and the cows at 627, 166 are practically neighbors.
The cat is the one entry without a clean coordinate. You can head to Cat Island to find one, but the island is restricted, so expect trouble the moment you land. The easier path is to equip a cat as your ship pet and simply interact with it in the cabin of the Jackdaw — no restricted zone required.
How to reach every Friend To All animal in Black Flag Resynced
Follow this route in order and you will interact with all seven friendly animal types in a single sweep, from the beaches near Cape Bonavista out to Great Inagua.
STEP 1/8
Interact with a turtle at Cape Bonavista
Sail to 148, 578 and interact with one of the turtles scattered along the beach — they show up on shorelines everywhere, so any turtle works.
STEP 2/8
Interact with a chicken in Havana
Head into Havana at 217, 584 and look down for one of the many chickens wandering the streets, then hold the interact prompt.
STEP 3/8
Feed the caged bird in Havana
Move to 215, 579 nearby, walk up to the cage, and interact to feed the trapped bird.
STEP 4/8
Interact with a cat
Visit Cat Island to find one, but note it is a restricted island, so the safer option is to pet a cat in the Jackdaw cabin if you have a cat equipped as a ship pet.
STEP 5/8
Pet the dog at the docks
Go to 609, 163 and give the dog some attention — dogs also roam dock areas around the world if this spot is out of your way.
STEP 6/8
Interact with a pig in Kingston
Sail to Kingston and find the small pen at 621, 164, where a few pigs are kept together.
STEP 7/8
Interact with a cow in Kingston
Just beside the pen at 627, 166 you will find a couple of cows to interact with.
STEP 8/8
Interact with the monkey at Great Inagua
Set a waypoint at 824, 42 in the middle of Great Inagua and interact with the monkey there to finish the set and pop the trophy.

Adding Albert the Monkey to the Jackdaw crew
Albert is a bonus pet for the Jackdaw and sits apart from the seven trophy animals — he is a nice extra, not a replacement for any of the interactions above. Getting him means running a short local event, and it is quick once you know where to go.
How to unlock Albert the Monkey for your ship
- INTRO: Albert comes from the Monkey Business local event in the southeastern part of Havana, and the fight to free him is brief.
- Head to the Monkey Business local event — Make for the southeastern part of Havana, where the Monkey Business local event is marked.
- Board the event ship — Get on the ship tied to the event to begin the rescue.
- Clear the guards — Kill the handful of guards aboard — nothing serious stands between you and the monkey.
- Rescue Albert — Free Albert, who is sitting right there on the ship, to complete the event.
- Equip the monkey and pet him — Open your inventory, switch your ship pet over to the monkey, then interact with and pet Albert inside the cabin of the Jackdaw.
Why the trophy might not pop
Almost every failed run comes down to the same handful of mistakes. The biggest is treating this like a hunting objective — if you skin or kill the wildlife instead of interacting with it, none of it registers, so keep your weapons holstered around these animals. Just as common is repeating the same species: petting three different dogs still only counts as one of the seven, so make sure every entry on the checklist is a distinct animal type.
The caged bird in Havana is the easiest one to skip, since it is tucked inside a cage rather than roaming freely — do not overlook it. And do not assume Albert covers one of the seven; he is a separate Jackdaw pet, so you still need the standard bird, cat, dog, and monkey interactions regardless of whether you have rescued him.
If the trophy still will not unlock, work back through the roster one species at a time and confirm you have genuinely interacted with each — turtle, chicken, caged bird, cat, dog, pig, and monkey. It is usually a single missing type holding everything up.
Other animal trophies to chase next
Once you have the pet side of things sorted, the Jackdaw’s ship-pet slot is worth revisiting — you can swap between a cat and the monkey whenever you like. From there, the natural next targets are the other animal-related Resynced trophies: Matador, which has you dodging the red charge attacks of Wild Pigs on Cape Bonavista, along with Perfect Predator and Double Tap. None of them overlap with Friend To All, so treat them as fresh goals rather than part of this same route.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Albert the Monkey count as one of the seven animals?
No. Albert is a bonus pet for the Jackdaw, earned from the Monkey Business event, and he sits apart from the seven friendly-animal interactions the trophy needs. You still have to interact with a separate monkey — at Great Inagua on this route — along with the other six types.
Do hunted animals count for Friend To All?
No. The trophy is interaction-based, not kill-based. Skinning or hunting wildlife does nothing for it, so approach each animal peacefully and use the interact prompt instead.
Can I use different locations for the same animals?
Yes. The coordinates here are just one clean route. Turtles, chickens, cats, and dogs in particular appear all over the map, so you are free to interact with whichever one is nearest — only the animal type matters, not the exact spot.
Where is the caged bird in Havana?
It is at 215, 579 in Havana, only a short run from the chicken at 217, 584. Walk up to the cage and interact to feed the bird.
What should I do if Friend To All does not unlock?
Go back through the checklist one species at a time — turtle, chicken, caged bird, cat, dog, pig, and monkey — and make sure each is a distinct interaction. The usual culprits are a skipped caged bird or accidentally counting the same animal type twice.
