The Templar Hunt “Rona Dinsmore” is the first of four quest chains that reward Templar armor in Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced. You can find Rona in the south of Havana, in the Dry Tortuga region, just northeast of the southernmost lookout point—as you approach, you’ll hear gunfire. The chain starts after the main mission “This Old Cove” and consists of four stages. Below is how to complete each stage without any headaches.

Where to find Rona Dinsmore and how to start the hunt?
Rhona Dinsmore is the Assassin contact in Havana. Her safehouse is located on the southeastern outskirts of the city. As you approach the bureau, it becomes clear that there’s unrest here: gunfire, shouting, and commotion. This is the signal to begin. Talk to Rona—she’s nicknamed the “first target” of Templar hunts, and her mission is considered the fastest of the four if you’re chasing achievements.
Mission 1 – “Bureau Under Attack”
The first mission is a classic defense. You need to fight off three waves of Spanish soldiers attacking the bureau.
The key point: between waves, Rona suggests placing powder kegs at the three exits. This isn’t absolutely necessary, but it will make things easier: one shot at the keg and an entire group of enemies disappears. If you don’t make it in time, no problem—the mission will continue, and you can take down the enemies with your sword and stealth kills.
Tip: Before the fight, inspect the tables inside the bureau—they contain first aid kits and ammo. In the chaos, they’re easy to miss, and careful preparation trumps haste.
Mission 2 – “A Thief in the Market”
After the first mission, Rona moves to northwest Havana – find her on the roof of the stone gazebo. She’ll ask you to investigate thefts at the nearest market (to the east).
Steps:
-
Use Eagle Vision to locate two green markers.
-
Talk to the two merchants – they’ll complain about a pickpocket.
-
Wait for the pickpocket. The camera will show a fleeing figure.
-
Pursue him to a dead end, where you’ll have to confront him and kill him.
Lifehack: you can shoot the pickpocket while running, or use a dart on a rope to intercept him and pull him toward you. This will end the run in seconds. After killing him, loot the “Stolen Map” from his body, and Rona will return to her starting position – return to her for a third conversation.
Mission 3 – “Arms Race”
Rona asks you to help destroy Hilary Flint’s gunpowder stockpile. She takes one half, and you get the other – three warehouses throughout Havana.
The first warehouse is between buildings, guarded by several soldiers. We recommend killing the big one from above, then deal with the rest.
The second warehouse is northwest of the first. Guards are on the rooftops with rifles – they can cause serious damage. Be careful.
The third warehouse is the most heavily guarded. It relies on heavy security: two soldiers at a barrel and many others surrounding it. Tactics: hide in the nearby bushes, whistle to draw out the guards one by one, and kill them stealthily. After clearing them out, set the barrel on fire and run away – the disrupted blast wave can be fatal.
Mission 4 – “Flint’s End”
With the warehouses destroyed, it’s time to eliminate Flint himself. Follow Rona to his hideout. The plan is as follows: Rona distracts the guards while you make your way to Flint.
Flint isn’t as dangerous as some other targets—you can kill him stealthily or outright. After his death, confirm the kill and collect the Templar key. Then return to the bureau for a final conversation with Rona.
Is the Templar hunt worth it? Reward overview
Yes, definitely. Completing all four hunts (Rhona Dinsmore, Anto, Upton and Vance Travers, Opia Apito) rewards you with the Templar armor. It unlocks in the estate on Great Inagua after collecting all five keys (one story key + four from hunts).
The Templar armor is one of the best sets in the game. It outperforms many other armor sets in terms of protection and matches the high level of gear. The overall aesthetic appeal is also impressive—the armor looks impressive.
Full list of Templar hunts in AC Black Flag Resynced
There are four hunts in the game:
To obtain the armor, you need to complete all four. After collecting the keys, return to the estate on Great Inagua and open the cage.
Next step: after receiving the key from Rona, go to Anto in Kingston—this is the next hunt. If you’ve already collected all four keys, head to the estate on Great Inagua right now and claim the new version. No more obstacles—the path to the best gear is open.
