The quickest way to unlock Edward Catway is to clear the potted plants around the Great Inagua manor, then use the dense pot cluster in Havana and fast travel between the two spots so the pots respawn until you reach 50.
Edward Catway is the trophy/achievement for Break 50 potted plants in Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced. You are not trying to break all 50 in one uninterrupted run; the total is cumulative, so a tight farming loop is faster than wandering through every street looking for loose pots.
Edward Catway requirement
The requirement is exactly Break 50 potted plants. Each qualifying plant pot you break contributes to the same total, so you can split the work across Great Inagua, Havana, and repeated visits.
KEY!That makes the best route simple: start with an easy batch around the manor, then finish or refill the count at the more crowded city cluster.
Best Edward Catway locations
| Location | Use |
|---|---|
| Great Inagua manor | First easy batch around the lower manor area and balcony. |
| Havana | Dense cluster with about 20 to 30 pots in a small area. |
Great Inagua manor is the first farming stop because its pots are easy to spot around the lower manor area and balcony. Havana is the stronger finishing spot, with about 20 to 30 potted plants packed into a small area.
Use the two locations as a loop. Clear one area, fast travel to the other, and the emptied pots will be back for another pass.
How to break 50 potted plants in Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced
Use this route to grab the easy manor batch first, then finish with Havana’s packed pot cluster and repeat only if Edward Catway has not unlocked.

Clear the packed Havana cluster
Roll around the tight group of about 20 to 30 potted plants to break them quickly in one small area.

Qualifying potted plants
Target the decorative plant pots placed around named locations, manor spaces, balconies, streets, and building fronts. These are the pots with visible plants in them, not barrels, empty clutter, or random breakable props nearby.
Rolling through the pots is the cleanest way to farm them because Edward’s body contact breaks the target without relying on weapon hits. Sword attacks can visibly smash pots, but weapon tracking is the only part of this method players tend to question, so body contact should be your default.
Roll through each cluster first; use sword swings only as a backup when a pot refuses to break from contact.
Edward Catway tracking fixes
If Edward Catway feels stuck, tighten the farm instead of changing locations randomly. Focus only on planted pots, ignore nearby breakables, and use rolls for the next full pass through Great Inagua and Havana.
After clearing both spots, leave and return with fast travel so the pots respawn. Since there is no useful visible counter to rely on mid-farm, keep running the respawn loop until the trophy/achievement pops.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do potted plants respawn?
Yes. Fast traveling back and forth between Great Inagua and Havana refreshes the pots, letting you farm the same two areas again.
Can you use sword attacks, or should you roll into the pots?
Both can break pots on-screen, but rolling into them is the better choice for Edward Catway because it uses direct body contact and avoids tracking confusion.
Where is the best location for Edward Catway?
Havana is the best single spot because its cluster has about 20 to 30 pots packed close together. Great Inagua manor is still worth using as the first half of the loop.
Do you need to break all 50 in one visit?
No. Edward Catway tracks the total across visits, so you can break some pots, fast travel, return, and continue until the requirement is met.
What should you do if the achievement is not tracking?
Stop attacking random props, aim for potted plants with visible greenery, switch to rolling through the pots, and repeat the two-location fast travel loop until the unlock appears.
