Post-Game Content

Congratulations, Assassin! The main story of Assassin's Creed III may be complete, but your journey through the American Revolution is far from over. A wealth of activities, secrets, and challenges await you. This comprehensive guide will help you navigate the rich post-game content, ensuring you leave no stone unturned in your quest for 100% synchronization and ultimate mastery.

Epilogue Missions: The Final Chapter

After the credits roll, a series of crucial epilogue missions become available. These missions tie up loose ends, provide further insight into the Assassin-Templar conflict, and offer unique rewards. To begin, return to the Homestead and check your map for new mission markers.

The Tyranny of King Washington DLC (Optional)

While not strictly part of the base game's epilogue, the "Tyranny of King Washington" DLC offers a compelling alternate history storyline. If you own this expansion, consider diving into it after completing the main epilogue for a fresh perspective on Connor's world. It features new abilities, weapons, and a distinct narrative arc.

Homestead Development: A Thriving Community

Your Homestead isn't just a safe haven; it's a living, breathing community that you can nurture and expand. Developing your Homestead is crucial for generating income, crafting advanced items, and unlocking unique side missions.

• Recruit Artisans: Seek out and complete the various Homestead Missions marked on your map. These missions introduce new artisans to your estate, such as the Woodworker, Miner, Doctor, and Tailor. Each artisan brings unique skills and contributes to your economy.
• Crafting and Trading: Once artisans are settled, they will produce raw materials. Access the Accounting Book in the Manor House to craft valuable goods. These goods can then be sold to merchants in cities or via your convoy system for significant profit. Prioritize crafting items that yield high returns, such as fine clothing or specialized tools.
• Homestead Missions: Continue to complete these character-driven quests. They often involve helping your artisans with personal problems or defending the Homestead from threats. Completing them deepens your connection to the community and unlocks new crafting recipes.

Collectibles: Unearthing Every Secret

The vast world of Assassin's Creed III is littered with hidden collectibles. Finding them all is essential for 100% synchronization and often rewards you with unique lore, items, or achievements.

Feathers

There are 50 Feathers scattered across the Frontier, Boston, and New York. Collecting them all unlocks a special outfit and a unique cutscene. Use your map to identify general areas, then employ Eagle Vision to pinpoint their exact locations, often found on high vantage points or tucked away in obscure corners.

Almanac Pages

Benjamin Franklin's Almanac Pages are blown across the wind in Boston, New York, and the Frontier. There are 30 pages in total. To collect them, chase after the page icon on your mini-map, using parkour to keep pace. Successfully collecting all pages unlocks a special crafting recipe for a powerful weapon.

Peg Leg Trinkets

These 24 unique trinkets are hidden throughout the Frontier and the cities. Collecting them is tied to the "Peg Leg" missions, which eventually lead you to Captain Kidd's treasure. Each trinket you find unlocks a new segment of the treasure map, culminating in a lucrative reward.

Chests

Treasure chests are found everywhere, containing money, crafting ingredients, and sometimes unique items. While not strictly required for 100% synchronization, opening them all is a good way to boost your finances and resource pool. Use your map and Eagle Vision to locate them.

Side Activities: Beyond the Main Path

Beyond the primary missions and collectibles, numerous side activities offer additional challenges and rewards.

Naval Missions

Take to the seas as Captain of the Aquila! Naval missions involve intense ship-to-ship combat, escort duties, and exploration. Completing all naval missions is required for 100% synchronization and unlocks powerful upgrades for your ship, making future naval encounters easier.

• Privateer Contracts: Found at various harbors, these missions involve sinking enemy vessels or protecting allied convoys.
• Captain Kidd's Treasure: As mentioned, collecting Peg Leg Trinkets leads to these challenging naval encounters and eventually a legendary treasure.

Hunting and Trapping

The Frontier is teeming with wildlife. Engage in hunting to gather pelts, meat, and other animal products. These resources are vital for crafting and can be sold for profit. Setting traps is a passive way to gather resources, especially valuable pelts from elusive animals.

• Hunting Challenges: Complete specific hunting challenges to unlock new hunting tools and improve your skills.
• Animal Lairs: Discover and clear out animal lairs to reduce their population and make hunting easier in certain areas.

Assassin Contracts

Located in Boston and New York, these contracts task you with eliminating specific targets. They are straightforward assassination missions that offer a quick way to earn money and experience. Completing all contracts contributes to your overall synchronization.

Liberation Missions

These missions involve helping the local populace against British oppression. They typically involve freeing districts from Templar influence by completing tasks like stopping public executions, destroying supply convoys, or eliminating specific officers. Completing all liberation missions in a district unlocks a new Assassin recruit.

Brawling Challenges

Test your combat prowess in various brawling challenges found in taverns. These unarmed combat sequences pit you against multiple opponents and require skillful parrying and counter-attacks. Completing them earns you money and bragging rights.

Synchronization and Achievements

Aiming for 100% synchronization requires completing all main missions with full synchronization, all side missions, collecting all collectibles, and completing all optional activities. This is the ultimate challenge for any Assassin. Consult your Animus database and progress tracker regularly to monitor your progress.

Many achievements and trophies are tied to completing specific post-game content. Review your platform's achievement list to identify any specific goals you wish to pursue.

Replaying Memories

If you wish to revisit specific moments or try to achieve full synchronization on a mission you previously missed, you can always access the DNA Tracker from the pause menu. This allows you to replay any completed memory, providing an opportunity to perfect your performance and uncover hidden objectives.
