All 11 Character Portrait Locations for the Memory of My Enemy: Assassin’s Creed Black Flag

The Memory of My Enemy is a cleanup trophy in Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced built around portraits, but the important part is the display requirement. You are not done when the last portrait enters your inventory; you still need to return to Great Inagua and place every portrait in the manor frames.

The Memory of My Enemy trophy requirement

The trophy requires all 11 character portraits to be displayed inside the Great Inagua manor. If you have collected the portraits but skipped the wall frames, the trophy will not pop yet.

The cleanest time to do this is after the main story, because several portraits are tied to late Kingston, Havana, Principe, and side-quest progress. Track the set through Codex > Database > Portraits, then finish the manor display route once the full set is available.

All 11 character portraits checklist

Commodore Chamberlaine portrait in Nassau

For Commodore Chamberlaine’s Portrait, go to the west side of Nassau and look for the house marked by the portrait icon. The access point is not on the ground floor, so climb the outside of the building until Edward reaches the second level.

Enter through the open upper window. Inside the room, the portrait is hanging above the striped sofa; interact with it to add Commodore Chamberlaine’s Portrait to your set.

Laurens Prins portrait in Kingston

Laurens Prins’ Portrait is in the west-side manor area of Kingston. Head to the marked house, climb upstairs, and use the upper route around the building instead of searching the lower rooms.

Circle along the balcony or upper path, move around to the side, and enter through the open window. The portrait is inside that room; if it is not there yet, progress past Unmanned and return later.

Woodes Rogers portrait in central Kingston

For Woodes Rogers’ Portrait, fast travel to the central Kingston sync point and move toward the nearby portrait marker. This area can have enemies around the stairwell, so clear or avoid them before committing to the pickup.

Go up the stairwell into the marked interior space. Once inside, look to the right wall for the portrait. This one is tied to late Kingston story progress, so return after Sequence 12 – A Governor No Longer if the marker has not appeared.

Ben Hornigold portrait on the shipwreck route

Ben Hornigold’s Portrait is the ruined-ship pickup reached through the Santa Maria beach route. This same ruined-ship portrait may be labeled around Santanillas/Chinchorro in route notes, so use the shipwreck landmark rather than forcing a coordinate hunt.

Go to the beach, reach the shipwreck, and board the wrecked boat area. Move back to the left, then check the space between the steps; the portrait is lying there on the wreck.

Laureano de Torres portrait in east Havana

Laureano de Torres’ Portrait is one of the trickier Havana pickups because the correct entry is a window below the rooftop route. Start from the east/northeast Havana rooftop sync point, the one that places Edward high enough to reach the roof path.

From the sync point, turn around and drop carefully onto the roof area below. Move left along the roof and wall line toward the portrait marker, keeping Edward high instead of dropping all the way down.

Be careful near the edge facing the sea. If Edward falls into the water here, you will need to swim around and redo the route because the nearby walls are not climbable from that position.

Drop down in stages until Edward can hang by the window, then enter through it. Once inside, look to the left wall and collect Laureano de Torres’ Portrait.

El Tiburon portrait in northwest Havana

El Tiburon’s Portrait is also in Havana, but this one is at the northwest/top-left fort or castle area. Fast travel to the nearby sync point, then head toward the portrait marker from outside the wall.

Move around the exterior wall and cross the rocks and platforms leading toward the open window. Enter through that window, then head to the back corner of the room to pick up the portrait.

Bartholomew Roberts portrait in Principe

Bartholomew Roberts’ Portrait is at Principe, reached from the beach side. If the marker is missing, return after the late-story Roberts progress is done, since this portrait is tied to that part of the game.

From the beach, circle around the rocks and shallow water until you can approach the enemy camp from the side angle. This approach gives you bushes near the camp entrance and a cleaner route into the tent.

Use the bushes to stay hidden or pull enemies away from the entrance. Your target is the cream-colored tent; once the way is clear, slip inside.

The portrait is at the back of the tent. Grab it, then sneak or fight your way back out depending on how many guards are still active.

Julien Du Casse portrait at Great Inagua manor

Julien Du Casse’s Portrait is inside the Great Inagua manor, near the main entrance and weapon display area. It is easy to have collected this earlier while first gaining access to the manor.

If it is still missing from your Codex, go back into the manor before the final display cleanup and pick it up from that entrance area.

Stede Bonnet portrait from the Great Inagua quest

Stede Bonnet’s Portrait is not a normal loose portrait sitting in a room. Track the Stede Bonnet-related side quest at Great Inagua and play through that questline.

The quest includes a reading interaction and a cutscene near the end. Once the quest is finished, Stede Bonnet’s Portrait is awarded as part of the quest completion, so check your portrait list before searching the world for a separate pickup.

Blackbeard portrait from Blackbeard’s Treasure

Blackbeard’s Portrait comes from completing Blackbeard’s Treasure. If you have already finished that side content, this portrait may already be sitting in your portrait collection.

Check Codex > Database > Portraits before spending time looking for a loose painting. This one is handled as a reward, not as a window or tent pickup.

Robert Maynard portrait in Port Royal

Robert Maynard’s Portrait comes through the longer side-quest route that starts at the Great Inagua tavern. Begin that tavern questline and keep progressing it until the path eventually sends you to Port Royal.

Toward the end of the route, after the prompt to meet back up with the crew, the objective changes to find Maynard’s treasure or reach Maynard’s treasure. Follow that waypoint through the fiery city.

When you reach the waypoint area, expect a group of enemies. Clear them first, because trying to grab the portrait during the fight can interrupt the pickup.

After the area is clear, look to the side near the objective area and pick up Robert Maynard’s Portrait. If the Port Royal route has not opened yet, continue the A World Without Gold chain and any pending recruit errands, including Lucy and Padre if they are still active.

Tulum west-side house window route

Go to the west side of Tulum

Head to the marked west-side house and line Edward up with the upper window.

Climb to the second level

Use the outside of the house to reach the open window on the upper floor.

Enter through the window

Pull Edward inside through the window instead of dropping back to ground level.

Take the portrait above the sofa

Pick up the portrait hanging above the striped sofa.

Missing portrait fixes

Most missing portrait problems come from either progression gates or unfinished manor display frames. Finish the main story, clear the relevant side quests, and check Codex > Database > Portraits before assuming a portrait has bugged out.

Inside the manor, the frames are spread out more than the first room suggests. Place the early frames near the drawing room and corridor, head down toward the treasure cellar for the six lower frames, then return upstairs and place the final bedroom portrait above Edward’s bed.
