Completing the Art Lover quest in Black Flag Resynced sees you finding art pieces from Great Inagua’s scattered collection to return them to the manor. This is one of the new quests that was added in Resynced, alongside a new character, Bernard. This aged butler served the previous owner of the house before Du Casse took it over.
There are lots of different ways to gather the Great Inagua art collection and the reward is one of Ezio’s outfits, so I’ll run through the easiest ways to gather what you need.

To complete the Art Lover quest, you’ll need to find 30 art pieces across the Caribbean, though you’ll have to return to talk to Bernard once you’ve found 15 and then 25, before completing the quest at 30, earning yourself the Master Assassin outfit (One of Ezio’s outfits) and the Obsidian Hull ornament.
There are many ways to gather art, but it’s worth noting the Templar and pirate portraits you hang in the manor don’t count towards this quest. Here’s how to gather the art collection:
1. Collecting ship models
Every time you board a ship for the first time after defeating it, you’ll earn its model, and these models count as part of the Inagua art collection since you can display them on a shelf in the main room. Since there’s a British and Spanish variant for each ship type, that’s ten art pieces you can easily earn, not to mention that you’ll unlock extra ship models as you complete the main story.
2. Buying art pieces
You can buy six art pieces from any General Store, though since these cost Reales, you might want to hold onto your money and leave these as a last resort. It depends how quickly you want to complete the quest and get Ezio’s Revelations outfit.
3. Looting plantation warehouses
The first time you loot a plantation warehouse, you’ll get a painting you can hang in the manor, which counts towards the Great Inagua art collection. Plantations are easy to find; simply look for the island symbols that have three plants growing out of some soil. You’ll have to head inside, find the key, and unlock the warehouse door. These can also contain treasure maps.
4. Kenway’s fleet missions
Some of Kenway’s fleet missions (the ones you organise via the map in the manor or Jackdaw’s cabin) provide art pieces as rewards, specifically, the Piracy and Trade missions. They also have a scale and skull symbol on the map and list their type below their title.
You’ll need a brig for Piracy and a schooner for Trade. Simply look for the missions that have a little furniture or art piece image in their listed rewards—they’re usually pretty easy to recognise as, besides map pieces, they’re the only rewards that have “1x” next to them.
5. Treasure maps
While not all do, some buried treasure maps contain art pieces as their rewards. Specifically:
- New Bone treasure map (722,607)
- Abaco Island treasure map (543,694)
- Jiquey treasure map (812,114)
- Principe treasure map (605,132)
That last one is locked by the main story until you go to the island of Principe, since it’s not on the main map. If you’re struggling with any of these, check out our treasure map guide linked above.
With all of these, you should easily be able to cobble together the 30 pieces you need, just make sure to return to Bernard when the quest marker reappears in Great Inagua. If you want to know your progress, open the world map, press X to open the quest list via the prompt in the top right, and cycle through sidequests to find and toggle it active.
