Full outfit chain · 16 stone checks
Route the 15 open-world stones by region, story gate, and island counter
Use the sequence numbers to avoid treating every stone as the same trip. Stone 01 is awarded during the story; the other 15 sit across 12 open-world island stops, with two separate pickups each on Pinos Isle, Misteriosa, and Isla Providencia. Story gates belong before the voyage, not after a failed sail. These route cues are leads—confirm each marker, revealed stone, and count in the current save.
| Stone(s) / region | Landmark and access cue | Close this leg safely |
|---|---|---|
| 01 · Sequence 04 | Mission 01, “This Old Cove,” awards the first Mayan Stone automatically; it is not a second open-world Great Inagua pillar. | After the memory, check the count before sailing. Continue the open-world route only when the save shows the story result. |
| 02–03 · Dry Tortuga | Cape Bonavista: align the large circle to the lower pillar. Matanzas: align it to the tree on the left. | Treat these as two separate pillar interactions. The nearby 312, 617 waterfall dig is the Mortar Storage treasure route, not stone 03. |
| 04 · Eleuthera | Cat Island: use the left-hand rock as the large-circle anchor, then scale the pattern to fit. | The island anchor is not an exact pillar coordinate; use the current stela marker and collect the revealed stone. |
| 05 · Punta Guarico | Tortuga: the route lead narrows the stela to the western side of the island but does not establish an exact pillar landmark. | Search the live marker before climbing. Do not turn the island coordinate into a pillar pin. |
| 06–07 · Castillo de Jagua | Pinos Isle has two stones: one pillar on the wall visible when entering, and a second on the western side near the viewpoint. | Clear both as separate results; leaving after the entrance-side pillar can leave one local stone uncounted. |
| 08–09 · Conttoyor | Sacrifice Island: the pillar is in front of the southern viewpoint. Tulum becomes explorable after Sequence 04 Mission 03, “The Sage’s Buried Secret”; its stone is west, in front of a ruin. | Check each local pickup separately. If Tulum is not yet explorable, advance the named story mission instead of searching a different coordinate. |
| 10 · Chinchorro | Santanillas: use its Mayan Stela waypoint, then climb the pillar; no exact number-pair is established here. | Let the current map supply the active marker, then verify the revealed Mayan Stone rather than counting the waypoint alone. |
| 11–15 · Serranilla | Misteriosa has two pillars (the overlook ruins and the southwest side); New Bone’s is in the eastern forest; Isla Providencia has one below the western viewpoint and one atop ruins below the northern viewpoint, after Sequence 08 Mission 03, “Marooned.” | Separate the two Misteriosa and two Isla Providencia pickups. Check each island’s 2/2 state before leaving; the first Misteriosa pillar’s nearby treasure-map clue is a different job. |
| 16 · Charlotte | After Sequence 10 Mission 03, “The Observatory,” search Long Bay’s southern corner between the large square blocks. | Collect the stone from the stela route; the block-top Data File and the beach treasure dig are separate checks. |
Wrong-island check
If an old stela pin does not match the current map, stop before sailing
The current 16-stone route and an older coordinate list do not always name the same islands. Use the stone count, story stage, and live island marker to decide whether to travel; a treasure dig or ordinary collectible on that island cannot replace a Mayan Stone.
| Old lead or current state | Check now | Next move |
|---|---|---|
| Great Inagua first stone | Review the Sequence 04 story result and current stone count | If the story already awarded it, do not search Great Inagua for a second open-world pillar |
| Tulum or imported 221, 242 | Use the western ruin's live stela marker after Sequence 04 Mission 03 | 221, 242 is an imported Tulum alias, not a verified Resynced pillar coordinate; the route reference only places the stela on the island's western side |
| Kingston or 631, 152 | Look for an actual stela marker in your current Kingston map | The current 16-stone route does not list a Kingston pillar; 631, 152 is associated with a separate Misteriosa-to-Kingston treasure dig, not a Mayan Stone |
| Grand Cayman | Compare the island's present marker families with the stela counter | No Grand Cayman pillar appears in the current 16-stone route; do not count a nearby chest or fragment as a stone |
| Salt Lagoon | Check whether your clue is the Abaco treasure map rather than a pillar | The Salt Lagoon north-beach dig belongs to the Serpent Figurehead route, not the Mayan Outfit chain |
| Tulum outfit door still closed | Read the full stone count, not just Tulum's local puzzle state | Finish the missing regional stones first; return to the door when all 16 are recorded |
How to verify the route
Use the route reference as a lead, then let your save settle the result
The island sequence, viewpoint cues, puzzle landmarks, and story gates on this page are based on PowerPyx's Black Flag Resynced stela guide. It is one third-party publisher's route reference—not official confirmation, independent corroboration, or a firsthand test in your save. The guide does not establish exact pillar coordinates for every island. We therefore label these as route cues, avoid filling gaps with guessed pins, and use the active map marker, puzzle feedback, collected stone, and local counter as the completion proof.
Matanzas route split
Keep the left-tree puzzle separate from the waterfall dig
Matanzas puts a climbable Mayan Stela and a Tortuga-map destination on the same island. The pillar's largest circle aligns with the tree on the left; the nearby 312, 617 lead belongs to the Mortar Storage waterfall dig, not the stela. Use each page for its own interaction and named finish proof.
Focused stone route
Solve Cape Bonavista without mixing three nearby pickups
The large-circle pillar puzzle, southern cave treasure and viewpoint-side river Secret have different completion signals. Open the exact stela route before marking the island finished.
Pillar and island checks
Match the local puzzle before leaving the island
Each route has a different first clue: Cat Island's left-rock alignment, Misteriosa's two separate reference surfaces, or Long Bay's story gate and southern blocks.
Stela-to-outfit route
Separate finding the stela from solving it and proving the outfit progress
For a Mayan stela, the regional marker only starts the task. Confirm the approach and the puzzle state in your current build, then verify the corresponding collectible or outfit progress before marking the island complete. A classic Black Flag landmark can guide the sail but should not replace the live save's proof.
| Leg | What to do | If it fails |
|---|---|---|
| Reach | Confirm the island, nearby viewpoint, and the climb or ground entry | Search the parent location rather than adding another guessed stela coordinate |
| Solve | Inspect the visible alignment or interaction from the intended vantage and complete it in the current build | Change the camera or access point before restarting the entire island sweep |
| Collect | Check the stela pickup and linked outfit progress in the save | Keep the stop partial if the marker changed but the reward state did not |
| Leave | Group only nearby fragments, chests, and viewpoints that share the same approach | Use Map for the next region instead of reopening the solved stela |
