Templar armor in Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced unlocks after collecting five keys. The first is obtained in the story, the other four are obtained through the optional “Templar Hunt” chains. There are 16 side missions to complete. But there’s a catch: a bug in Kingston can cost several hours of progress—more on that and how to avoid it below.
The Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Remaster was released on July 9, 2026, and along with updated graphics and reworked mechanics, it brought not only a compact, improved gameplay experience but also a few surprises. One of these is a critical bug that can interrupt a game mid-game. Game File journalist Stephen Totilo lost about five hours because of it. The bug occurs if you leave the Kingston chain of hunts unfinished, leave the region, and then return to the main story mission—as a result, the quests block each other. Ubisoft developers are already aware of the issue and are working on a patch. In the meantime, the only reliable way to avoid wasting hours of gameplay is to complete all of Anto’s quests before the main storyline leaves for Kingston.

All Templar Keys in AC Black Flag Resynced – Location Table
Before leading the hunt, let’s get familiar with the map. The first key will arrive automatically during the mission “This Old Cove” in the fourth sequence, after killing Julien du Casse. It’s then that the game first reveals a locked armor cage in the mansion on Great Inagua, activating the side quest “Damn Fine Gear.”
The remaining four artifacts are obtained through investigations with specific allies. Each sequence is a vast layer of four missions. Here’s the full list:
| Key | Target | Ally | Starting Location |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1st | Julien du Casse | — | Sequence 4, “This Old Cove” |
| 2nd | Hilary Flint | Rhona Dinsmore | Havana, Assassin Bureau |
| 3rd | Jing Lan (Pirate Queen) | Vance / Upton Travers | Nassau, Southern Island |
| 4th | Kenneth Abraham | Anto | Kingston, Assassin Bureau |
| 5th | Lucia Marquez | Opia Apito | Cayman Sound |
Once all five artifacts are in your inventory, all that remains is to return to the estate on Great Inagua and ceremoniously unlock the cage. Along with the armor, you will receive a special amulet with the Order’s cross.
Walkthrough of all four Templar Hunts
Rhona Dinsmore and Hilary Flint – Havana
Rhona is easy to find: she’s waiting in the Dry Tortuga region on Havana Island, at the local Assassin’s Bureau, in an open area northeast of the southernmost vantage point. As soon as you approach, a firefight will ensue. Rona’s mission chain includes four missions: defending the bureau, destroying the enemy’s gunpowder stockpile, and a final confrontation with Hilary Flint himself. The pace of the missions is quite fast, but careful combat pays off—Rhona actively provides fire support.
The Travers Brothers and Jing Lan – Nassau
Vance Travers (marked as his brother Upton on the map) stands outside a small wooden house in the southern part of Nassau. This chain of events revolves around a family feud and ultimately leads to the pirate Jing Lan, nicknamed the Pirate Queen. A variety of tasks await you here, from negotiations to naval maneuvers. Together with the brothers, you’ll clearly see who’s worth what.
Anto and Kenneth Abraham – Kingston (warning: bug!)
Anto is located in the Navassa region on Kingston Island, inside the local Assassin’s Bureau. He’s assigned a four-mission chain: freeing Anto’s friends from captivity, defending the bureau from advancing enemies, and finally eliminating Kenneth Abraham.
This is where the main danger lies. If you delve into the quests, decide to leave this chain unfinished and leave Kingston for other adventures, then return to the main storyline, the hunt and the main quest may block each other. Ubisoft has confirmed the issue, but a patch has not yet been released. Therefore, the only insurance is to confidently complete all of Anto’s missions before losing contact with the region.
Opia Apito and Lucia Marquez – Cayman Sound
You’ll meet Opia on Cayman Sound. The first part is a leisurely stroll through the jungle in search of new clues. The walk will be interrupted by an attack by a rare White Jaguar—it’s better to use a tranquilizer dart than engage in open combat. Next comes eavesdropping, pickpocketing, chasing Vargas, and the final push to Lucia Marquez. Composure in the stealth sections will be as necessary as in the gunfights.
How to open the Templar armor cage in the estate on Great Inagua
Once you’ve collected all five keys, return to the estate on Great Inagua. The mansion awaits—a locked cage containing the armor is inside. Insert the keys into the cage, and it will open. Your reward is a set of Templar armor and a matching cross amulet.
Is Templar armor worth getting? Comparison with other sets
In Resynced, all equipment has become primarily cosmetic. Mayan armor still deflects bullets, but it’s only a contender for the best in appearance. Templar armor pays homage to the classic design of the order, and for fans of the universe, it surpasses many other suits in overall aesthetic appeal. The choice is yours.
Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them
-
The Kingston bug is a major issue to keep in mind. Don’t leave Anto’s hunt unfinished. Don’t leave the region until the chain is complete. Don’t return to the main story in Kingston until all four missions are completed.
-
The “Excellent Gear” quest doesn’t appear – make sure you’ve completed the fourth sequence and killed du Casse.
-
The cage won’t open – check that all five keys are present. If one is missing, return to the unfinished chain.
The ending is simple: complete the fourth sequence, don’t leave Kingston until Anto’s hunt ends, collect all five keys, and retrieve the armor. And yes, replaying the game because of a bug is a dubious experience, so it’s best to be on the safe side.
