Animus Fragments

Black Flag Resynced Animus Fragments

Use Black Flag Resynced Animus Fragments to find fragment entries by region, coordinate, and nearby route context. Start with the area, mark the coordinate when it is listed, then sweep nearby rooftops, ruins, beaches, or shipwreck paths.

  • Area: filter by the city, island, ruin, or water route you are already clearing.
  • Coordinate: mark listed coordinates before fast travel or sailing away.
  • Movement: pair fragments with parkour, viewpoints, and rooftop cleanup.
  • Nearby: check chests, shanties, stelae, and treasure maps in the same region.

Movement route planner

Find the fragment, then finish the climb around it

A fragment marker is only the first half of this route. Use the area or coordinate you already have, choose how you are approaching it, and leave with a local sweep instead of a single pickup.

Search narrows the route records below; coordinates still need confirmation in your current save.

Next action

Rooftop / parkour

Open Parkour after the marker, then pair the climb with viewpoints and nearby shanties before saving.

Route risk
Starting the chase without a movement line can send you back across the same rooftops.

Finish the movement route

Fragments are best treated as a movement-and-cleanup trigger. Once the marker is confirmed, keep the local route together and use the save counter before leaving.

Fragment route

Clear fragments with movement checks

Fragments are easiest when grouped with viewpoints, rooftops, ruins, shipwreck paths, and nearby chests.

  1. Search the region first so nearby icons are visible together.
  2. Use viewpoints and rooftops before chasing small city icons.
  3. Pair shipwreck fragments with chest and diving checks.
  4. Confirm the counter before leaving the island or city.

Fragment sweep

Solve the access surface before chasing a small marker

A fragment can look close on the map while its route is above Edward, below a ruin path, or across water. Start from a viewpoint or known entrance, identify whether the pickup is rooftop, ground, ruin, or wreck, and combine only the nearby checks that use the same access route.

Common Questions

How should I route Animus fragments?

Search the region, sync viewpoints, then group rooftop, ruin, beach, and shipwreck fragments with nearby collectibles.

Should I clear fragments by region or by type?

Clear by region first so you can combine fragments with chests, shanties, viewpoints, and treasure checks.

What if a fragment marker is close but I cannot reach it?

Treat the map projection as a clue, then check whether the route is on a rooftop, inside a ruin, or underwater. Verify the family counter after pickup.
