The Hangman trophy/achievement in Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced requires you to kill 10 enemies by hanging them with the rope dart. It seems straightforward, sure, but if you’re a trophy or achievement hunter and want to get it done as quickly as possible but don’t know where to do it properly, then it’s going to be so annoying.
Unlock the Rope Dart First
Before we begin, there are a couple of things you need to consider. Remember that if you haven’t progressed through Story Sequence 3, then you don’t have the Rope Dart just yet. It’s the 5th mission in that sequence and it’s called Sugarcane and its Yields. Make sure you have it, then attempt this.
Make a manual save before going for this achievement. The reason is that it might be bugged, or the game might not properly count your kills toward the trophy. If that happens, simply reloading your save should fix it. It’s not widely reported as buggy, but achievements that require hitting a specific number can sometimes be a headache. So, better safe than sorry.
The Hangman Trophy Best Farm Location: Cat Island
Right off the bat, travel to Cat Island. I did it so easily here.
Once you’ve spawned there, head northeast. If you see any enemies there, just stay hidden in the bushes. When the coast is clear, continue your path to find a ladder leaning against a tree.
Climb up the ladder. If there’s an enemy beneath you, then there are two prompts that appear: assassinate and hang. You hang them to start your killing spree. If there’s not, just hang in there a little bit. Then continue along the tree branches and roofs to find your next target.
Keep doing it until you meet your quota. If you keep getting spotted here, just kill a couple of guards, then attempt this. For the record, kills are cumulative.
Don’t forget the alternative location is Tortuga (848,350) in which you can also apply this method.
