Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced: Officer Quest Locations & Interactive Tracking Guide

Officer Quests in Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced are the three new questlines — exclusive to the remake and absent from the original 2013 game — through which Edward Kenway recruits Lucy Baldwin, The Padre (Abel Galvão), and Tobias "Deadman" Smith as specialist crew members aboard the Jackdaw.

Each officer brings a unique active combat ability that significantly changes how the Jackdaw performs in naval engagements. All Officer Quest locations are fully documented on our Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced complete interactive maps.

Five Officers, Three Questlines

The Jackdaw carries 5 Officers in total.

Adéwalé joins automatically as Quartermaster after "The Treasure Fleet" (Sequence 2) — no quests required — and Anne Bonny replaces him as Quartermaster automatically after "Everything Is Permitted" (Sequence 11). Neither brings a unique ship ability.

The three recruitable officers each have dedicated questlines new to Resynced. Only the first two quests of each questline are required to recruit the officer and unlock their ability — remaining quests provide bonus rewards and lore but are optional.

Completing all quests across all three officers contributes to the "All Hands On Deck" (Bronze) trophy.

Lucy Baldwin: Shipwright, Perfect Brace

Starting location: Salt Key Bank, coordinates 446, 620. Available after completing "This Old Cove" (Sequence 4, Mission 1).

Jackdaw ability: Perfect Brace — activating Perfect Brace negates the next incoming damage to the Jackdaw entirely, absorbing a broadside, mortar, or ram hit before it reduces hull integrity.

Lucy's quest chain across Great Inagua:

• "A Proper Shipwright" (Salt Key Bank, 446, 620) — first quest, speak to Lucy at the dock. Completes quickly.

• "The One with the Gun" (818, 445, Great Inagua) — second quest, takes place on Black Island. Completing this quest can trigger the known bug that prevents the Black Island Warehouse key from spawning — if collecting "The Flight into Egypt" Painting is still outstanding, raid the Warehouse before doing this quest.

• "Plantain!" (818, 445, Great Inagua) — third quest. Reward: Baldwin's Golden Pistols (Rare) — one of the most accessible Rare Pistols in the game and a useful Dilettante trophy contribution.

The Padre (Abel Galvão): Master-at-Arms, Ram Dash

Starting location: Caracol, Punta Guarico, coordinates 446, 620. Available after completing "This Old Cove" (Sequence 4, Mission 1).

Jackdaw ability: Ram Dash — drives the Jackdaw forward at high speed, dealing massive collision damage. The Jackdaw's cannons burst outward from both sides at the moment of impact, adding broadside damage to the ram's momentum.

• "A Second Chance" (446, 620, Caracol) — first quest. Travel to Caracol, speak to the Padre, then talk to the three villagers. Dinah Calverley asks for food before she'll speak — bring it to complete her portion.

• "Loyalty, Discipline, and Courage" (Cumberland Bay) — second quest, clears out Du Casse's surviving men. Completing this quest recruits the Padre aboard the Jackdaw as Master-at-Arms. Later quests include an investigation at Cape Bonavista for further story and bonus rewards.

Completing all Padre quests rewards the Small Goblet Trinket (increases healing from food and drink).

Tobias "Deadman" Smith: Master Gunner, Double Broadside

Starting location: Great Inagua, coordinates 825, 444. Available only after completing "Everything Is Permitted" (Sequence 11, Mission 3) and completing the first two quests of both Lucy and The Padre.

Jackdaw ability: Double Broadside — fires an additional salvo of cannonballs immediately after the standard broadside fires. The most powerful offensive Jackdaw ability and the key advantage in the "A World Without Gold" chapter.

Deadman is recruited through the "A World Without Gold" questline — the 8-mission chapter exclusive to Resynced tracked in the Main Quest guide. It cannot be started until both Lucy and Padre's first two quests are complete.

The first mission ("It's a Start") appears at Great Inagua (825, 444) after Sequence 11.

Critical warning: once the "A World Without Gold" questline is started and Deadman is recruited, Lucy and Padre's remaining optional quests temporarily disappear from the map until the full AWOG chapter is completed. They reappear in full afterward — nothing is permanently missable.
