Trophy Roadmap
Step 1: Story + Random Trophies (15-20 hours)
Play through the main story on any difficulty. Work on these luck-based trophies from the start:
- Dilettante (Silver): 19 random Art Pieces from Kenway's Fleet Brig Piracy missions. Capture 5 Brigs, constantly send them on missions. Make a manual save before accepting fleet reports — reload if no Art Piece mission appears.
- Last to Leave (Silver): Find a Burning Ship event with a chair. Extremely rare (~5% chance). Farm by fast-traveling to The Black Trench (184, 425) from Great Inagua, reloading if no ship spawns.
- The Hangman (Bronze): Kill 10 enemies with rope dart hangings from trees/beams. Work on this throughout the story.
- Glutton for Nourishment (Bronze): Consume 20 food items from the environment (not healing charges).

Tips
- Play on Forgiving difficulty — trophies aren't gated
- Use Kenway's Fleet constantly — Brigs for Art Pieces, Schooners for money
- Save before accepting fleet reports and reload to re-roll missions
- Prioritize recruiting Officers first — they give passive ship abilities
- Free roam opens after Sequence 4, but some areas are story-gated
- No Mission Replay means do everything you can during the story
