The Treasure Maps are randomly found all throughout the Caribbean in the Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced game, and they each point out the way to a hidden treasure that is buried somewhere in the world. The map is a rough sketch of the treasure spot, and it is your job to hunt down the exact spot from where the treasure lies. In this guide, we’ll show you where to find every Treasure Map and where to dig up its hidden treasure.
All Treasure Map and Buried Treasure Locations
While you explore the Caribbean, you will be able to find Treasure Maps spread across the globe. Every map has a picture which is supposed to show the locations of a certain treasure but will not indicate the actual position on your map.
