Story & Platinum
The campaign is 12 sequences (~15–18 hours if you rush it). Five trophies pop automatically at fixed memories along the way, plus one easy Templar Hunt — none are missable, none can be failed, and there's no point of no return, so you're free to leave every collectible until after the credits. This page covers those markers and the exact order the platinum falls into place afterwards.
Play-order tips that save hours
- Upgrade Great Inagua the moment it opens (Sequence 4). The village, manor and Art Collection all take real time and reales — feeding them early means Governor, Dilettante and The Memory of My Enemy tick along in the background instead of becoming an end-game wall.
- Sync every viewpoint you pass. It reveals that region's chests and activities on the map, which is the backbone of the 100% completion work.
- Board, don't sink. Boarding ships hands you the resources for Jackdaw upgrades and the ship classes for Collective Madness — do it from your very first naval fight.

Ever A Splinter
BronzeFull guideCollapseHow to earn it
Despite being the campaign finale, this is only a Bronze — the game's lone Gold is the quirky Last To Leave, not the story ending. Ever A Splinter unlocks when you finish Sequence 12, Memory 5, the final memory of the campaign. There's nothing to optimise: play through to the end and it pops, completely unmissable.

Complete a full Templar Hunt — the optional assassination questlines that open up as you progress. Finish every memory of one hunt and the trophy pops.
Tip
Templar Hunts also feed 'The Memory of My Enemy' portraits, so you'll want to do them all eventually anyway.
