Finding all the Mayan stone locations is one of your big distractions while sailing the Caribbean in Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced, and it’s mostly unchanged from the original game. You still need to solve 16 of these stele to complete the Mayan Mystery task and unlock the Mayan Armour, one of the best outfits. But just like the treasure maps, a few locations have shifted around in the remake.

When it comes to the Black Flag remake, the aspect that’s most interesting to me is what’s changed and what’s new. Replaying the game yet again all these years later, this time with a fresh lick of paint, I’m astonished by how much it has surprised me on my path to 100% open world completion. Something I thought I knew like the back of my hand is new again.
All Black Flag Resynced Mayan stone locations
While you might have stumbled upon some of these Mayan sculptures beforehand, you need to complete This Old Cove during the main story to be able to interact with the stele. James Kidd will explain how they work but, basically, you just need to climb to the top of the sculpture, interact with it, rotate the pattern until it aligns with the glowing objects, then grab the Mayan stone.
You need to collect 16 Mayan stones from the stele across the map in order to open the door guarding the Mayan Armour in Tulum, which you’ll have access to after completing the main missions Nothing is True and Overrun And Outnumbered. This unique outfit now comes with a charm that houses its old perk of deflecting projectiles. That means you can gain the benefits of the armour without necessarily wearing the silly costume.
You’ll find them on the following islands:
- Great Inagua, Gibara
- Cat Island, Eleuthera
- Cape Bonavista, Dry Tortuga
- Misteriosa, Serranilla
- Santanillas, Chinchorro
- Matanzas, Dry Tortuga
- Sacrifice Island, Conttoyor
- Tulum, Conttoyor
- Tortuga, Punta Guarico
- Pinos Isle, Castillo de Jagua
- New Bone, Serranilla
- Long Bay, Charlotte
- Isla Providencia, Serranilla
Here’s exactly where to find all 16 Mayan stones via their coordinates and how to solve them in the remake:
1. Great Inagua, Gibara
You complete this one during the main story mission This Old Cove, so you can’t miss it. It’s a simple one to start you off, but just in case, rotate the overlay so that the squares line up with the square pillars on the left and top right.
2. Cat Island, Eleuthera (703,670)
Image 1 of 2
On the northern beach, just a short distance from the warehouse that you’ll have raided earlier in the main story. Flip the overlay so the large circle covers the rubble on the left and the oval is around the narrow rock.
3. Cape Bonavista, Dry Tortuga (159,583)
Image 1 of 2
To reach it, head up into the mountains from the northernmost synchronisation point. Rotate and shrink the overlay so that the largest circle surrounds the bottom pillar, while the two smaller circles are around the top two posts.
4. Matanzas, Dry Tortuga (311,617)
Image 1 of 2
This one’s in the hills in the far southeast of the island, past the warehouse. Rotate it left so that the large circle near the cross on the overlap lines up with the tree, and the two medium-sized circles match the rocks on the far right side.
5. Misteriosa, Serranilla (265,171)
Image 1 of 2
The first Mayan stele on this island is on the western beach, with Spanish soldiers on the walls above it. All you need to do is rotate it left so the two circles cover the posts at the bottom, and the arches line up with the broken arches on the wall.
6. Misteriosa, Serranilla (272,175)
Image 1 of 2
The second sculpture on this island is on the ramparts leading up to the synchronisation point in the northeast, next to a treasure map. Rotate it left so that the largest circle lines up with the biggest rock on the left, next to the boat.
7. New Bone, Serranilla (400,92)
Image 1 of 2
This stele is in the northwest of the island, conveniently where the warehouse guard and his muse will be talking. It’s one of the easiest to solve: flip the overlay so that the four rectangles cover the rocks at the bottom.
8. Santanillas, Chinchorro (187,221)
Image 1 of 2
There’s only one Mayan stone on this island, but there were two in the original game, located in the ruins near the centre of the occupied island. Flip it so the thicker, parallel lines connecting two of the circles are around the two pillars at the top.
9. Sacrifice Island, Conttoyor (18,548)
Image 1 of 2
Next to the synchronisation point in the centre of the island. All you have to do is flip the overlay so that the thicker, parallel lines of the triangle join up the two rocks at the bottom.
10. Tulum, Conttoyor (30,382)
Image 1 of 2
This one’s on the west side of the island, not far from where you finish the Overrun and Outnumbered mission (which immediately follows Nothing is True). To solve the puzzle, flip it almost fully so that the two circles on the same line match up with the top and right pillars.
11. Tortuga, Punta Guarico (846,352)
Image 1 of 2
Just up the hill from the plantation’s northern beach, you’ll find another Mayan stele, not far from the island’s synchronisation point. Solving it is as simple as flipping the overlay so that the smallest circle is on the rock at the bottom, and the line shoots off towards the ocean.
12. Pinos Isle, Castillo de Jagua (303,452)
Image 1 of 2
There are two Mayan stones up for grabs on this island, the first of which is just a short walk south of the synchronisation point in the northwest. Rotate the grid left to match the rectangle with the collapsed pillar at the top.
13. Pinos Isle, Castillo de Jagua (312,454)
Image 1 of 2
The second stele on Pinos Isle is east of the synchronisation point, on the hill overlooking the shipwreck on the shore. And solving it is very simple: flip it so the rectangle aligns with the wall at the top.
14. Long Bay, Charlotte (502,216)
Image 1 of 2
You need to progress the main story until you gain access to Long Bay and reach the Observatory. Once there, the stele is to the left of the main entrance to the Observatory.
15. Isla Providencia, Serranilla (487,33)
Image 1 of 2
You also need to progress the main story to unlock Isla Providencia, which houses the final two Mayan stones. The first stele on the island is in the northernmost temple ruin area close to the beach where the Jackdaw fast travels to.
16. Isla Providencia, Serranilla (476,16)
Image 1 of 2
The second stele on Isla Providencia is just to the right of the synchronisation viewpoint in the southernmost temple.
As mentioned, once you’ve gathered all 16 Mayan stones, return to the locked door back on Tulum, Conttoyor, near the beach in the northeast. You’ll be greeted by a short climbing section in the temple before grabbing the Mayan Armour. You’ll also get the Yax Tun pendant, which absorbs all gunshots without you having to wear the (frankly, kinda ugly) Mayan fit like you had to in the original game.
