Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced is a faithful remake of Assassin’s Creed 4, fixing out-of-date mechanics like the tailing missions and helping Black Flag feel like a more modern entry, like Shadows or Mirage. But like all the best remakes, Resynced features some new story content that the original game didn’t have.
This comes in the form of a new story questline and is likely going to be something those who loved the original will want to play as soon as possible. So below, we’ll reveal how you can do that. We’ll also cover what these new missions entail without delivering any story spoilers.
How to reach the A World Without Gold questline
A World Without Gold is the new questline in Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced, and it unlocks naturally once players complete Sequence 11 and barrel towards endgame.
The new content is designed to be played before you begin Sequence 12, ideally, as it contains fresh story content and wraps up a lot of threads that the original game left hanging.
From a gameplay point of view, it equips the player with some useful tools that’ll help you in the final stretch of the adventure – and as you explore the map, doing all the fun side content.
What does the new content contain?
The new story quests, of which there are eight in total, involve Edward recruiting three new Naval Officers to the Jackdaw. One of them is the Master Gunner, and recruiting him allows you to fully upgrade the ship with a new weapon that will make dominating the high seas much easier.
This is really something players are going to want to unlock as a priority, as it’ll make naval battles far more fun, less of a chore, and help you clean up the rewards from doing them quickly. The new quest rewards have been designed with making endgame more enjoyable in mind, so they really should be completed as soon as they unlock for best results.
Treat the A World Without Gold questline as an unofficial Sequence, located between 11 and 12, to make the most of the new lore and gameplay benefits. Once the questline is over, feel free to explore the map or get ready to tackle the final set of missions in Sequence 12.
Of course, the new missions are far from the only change Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced makes to the adventure. But they’re by far the most substantial new addition that players of the original entry will want to check out.
