The Havana Warehouse key is on a guard near the northwest corner of the plantation, close to the Viewpoint/fast travel point and windmill area, not inside the warehouse.
The Havana Warehouse key is easy to miss because the warehouse marker pulls you toward the building, while the carrier is posted away from the door. Treat the warehouse as your anchor, then work from the Viewpoint/fast travel side and keep the approach quiet so the raid stays clean.
Havana Warehouse key location
| Item | Location |
|---|---|
| Warehouse | Havana plantation warehouse activity |
| Key holder | Northwest plantation corner, away from the warehouse door |
| Nearest landmark | Viewpoint/fast travel point and windmill area |
| Vision cue | Small key icon above the guard, with a distinct Observe/Eagle Vision highlight |
In Havana, look for the warehouse activity at the plantation, then shift your search to the plantation’s northwest corner. The carrier is the guard with the small key icon over his head, and Observe/Eagle Vision makes him stand out from the regular patrols.
Use the landmarks over the coordinate readout here: Havana Warehouse entries can point to either 205,600 or 240,607, but the key route still sends you to the same plantation-side carrier. Do not confuse this with the separate Havana key listing near Castillo San Salvador de la Punta, by the dummies and cannons; that is not the warehouse carrier route.
Scan from the fast travel side before fighting anyone so the key icon is tagged before the plantation reacts.

Using the Havana Warehouse key
Once the Havana Warehouse Key is in your inventory, return to the warehouse door and interact with it to unlock the raid. Stay out of full detection on the way back; alarms or a loud chase can interfere with a clean plunder.
After the door opens, let the crew plunder the warehouse and collect the payout inside. This is the point where the key has done its job, so you do not need to keep hunting the carrier after the warehouse is open.
Havana Warehouse rewards and Anotto Bay follow-up
| Reward | Use |
|---|---|
| 25 wood, 40 metal, 25 cloth, 20 rum, 20 sugar | Ship materials and cargo value; rum and sugar are worth 700R |
| No bells rang bonus | 400R for keeping the raid clean |
| Saint Jerome as Cardinal | Painting for Great Inagua manor decoration and the Dilettante trophy/achievement in Resynced |
| Havana Warehouse Treasure Map | Leads to Anotto Bay at 590,245 for 2,000 Reales and the Crimson Cloak outfit |
| Preserved Map pieces | Random warehouse reward used at the Treasure Dealer in Great Inagua |
The Havana raid is worth clearing even if you only came for the key, because it pays out cargo, Reales, and completion rewards tied to Great Inagua. The treasure-map follow-up is separate from the key itself, but it is the next thing most players should handle after looting the warehouse.
At Anotto Bay, the dig is inside the smuggler den cave at 590,245. The visual marker can be described as crates/boxes near a ladder and light, or as an explosive-barrel cluster, but both point to the same cave chamber.
Havana key holder missing fixes
If the key holder seems missing, first stop searching the warehouse doorway and nearby walls. The carrier is part of the plantation activity, so a rooftop angle or a scan from the fast travel side is usually better than sweeping the building itself.
If regular Eagle Vision is not separating him clearly, use Observe/Eagle Vision more deliberately and look for the key symbol rather than a unique outfit. On controller, holding left trigger while using Eagle Vision can help you pick out the guard with the bright-red aura.
The warehouse state can also change if you trigger the activity and then leave, or if you get detected and an alarm rings. When that happens, the key holder can run to the warehouse and empty it, so killing every remaining guard will not fix that run.
For the clean attempt, tag the carrier first, avoid the alarm bell, then take him down before opening the warehouse. That keeps the key, the door, and the plunder sequence lined up in the intended order.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where exactly is the Havana Warehouse key holder?
He is the guard marked with the key icon in the small plantation area northwest of the warehouse; from nearby rooftops or the fast travel side, he is much easier to spot than from the warehouse door.
Do I need Eagle Vision to find the key holder?
You can find him by the overhead icon, but Eagle Vision is the reliable way to distinguish him from standard guards, especially if he is seated, moving slowly, or partially hidden by the plantation layout.
What should I do if the key holder is not showing up?
Re-scan the northwest plantation side before fighting more guards. If the activity has already been disrupted by leaving the area or triggering an alarm, reset your approach and try the warehouse again with the carrier tagged first.
Can I loot the Havana Warehouse again after raiding it?
Yes. Warehouses can be raided again after a 2-hour cooldown, and Kenway’s Fleet missions with Frigates can speed that timer up. After the first raid, key locations are randomized.
Is the Havana Warehouse treasure map the same as the separate Havana canal treasure map?
No. The Havana Warehouse Treasure Map sends you to Anotto Bay, while the separate Havana canal treasure map is a different collectible with its own reward path.
