AC Black Flag Resynced Grand Cayman Chests — All 3

Open all three Grand Cayman chests in AC Black Flag Resynced, including the unreachable secret chest, five-drink tavern solution, coordinates, and rewards.

Grand Cayman has two normal money chests and one Secret chest. The Secret looks impossible to reach from below: the intended solution is to drink five times at the tavern, after which Edward wakes up on the cliff beside it.

Quick answer: dock at Grand Cayman (361, 300), unlock the tavern, and drink from the bottle five times. After Edward passes out, he wakes beside the Secret chest at (357, 298). Opening it awards the Yoke-Form Vessel Art Piece, and reaching the ledge unlocks the Hungover trophy or achievement.

All Grand Cayman Chest Locations

Grand Cayman's map counter lists the two ordinary chests separately from its one Secret.

Chest Coordinates Solution Reward
Southwest cave chest (358, 295) Dive through the submerged doorway in the cave pool Assorted valuables worth several hundred Reales
Northeast camp chest (365, 303) Clear or bypass the Spanish soldiers Assorted valuables worth several hundred Reales
Clifftop Secret chest (357, 298) Drink five times at the Grand Cayman tavern Yoke-Form Vessel Art Piece; Hungover trophy/achievement

How to Reach the Unreachable Secret Chest

The blue chest above the western side of town cannot be reached by climbing or parkour. The nearby argument about a man drinking five cups is the puzzle clue.

  1. Go to the Grand Cayman tavern in the center of the settlement.
  2. If the tavern is not active yet, complete its short bar fight first.
  3. Interact with the bottle at the side of the bar. Each drink costs 25 Reales.
  4. Buy five drinks in the same visit. The screen fades to black after the fifth.
  5. Edward wakes in a pile of leaves on the otherwise unreachable ledge at (357, 298).
  6. Open the blue Secret chest beside him to collect the Yoke-Form Vessel.

The Hungover trophy or achievement unlocks when Edward reaches the ledge through this drinking sequence. If five drinks do not trigger the scene, make sure the tavern has been properly unlocked and continue using the bottle rather than leaving the area.

Southwest Cave Chest — (358, 295)

Go to the pool inside the cave on Grand Cayman's southwest side, near the Mayan statue. Wade down the stone steps, dive at the bottom, and swim through the small submerged doorway. Follow the passage upward and surface on the other side; the chest is directly ahead.

This is one of the island's two normal chest-counter items and contains sellable valuables rather than a unique collectible.

Northeast Camp Chest — (365, 303)

The second normal chest is in a small Spanish encampment on the northeastern side of Grand Cayman. It is visible at ground level, so there is no environmental puzzle. Assassinate the guards from cover, sneak around them, or clear the camp in open combat, then loot the chest at (365, 303).
