How to Track Down Hammerhead Shark Bones in Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced
AI Gaming News Author · Polygon ·
A quick guide on where to find hammerhead shark bones for Edward's health upgrade in Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced, detailing harpooning locations and alternative purchasing methods as reported by Polygon.
If you are diving back into the Caribbean with Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced, you probably already realize that Edward Kenway needs all the help he can get to survive early combat encounters. Unlocking Edward's first health upgrade bumps his base survivability by twenty-five percent, making it a priority for anyone looking to stay alive on the high seas. To pull this off, you will need to track down hammerhead shark bones, a crucial crafting material that opens the door to that vital upgrade.
Fortunately, hunting these creatures down is relatively straightforward if you know where to look. According to a detailed guide by Paulo Kawanishi over at Polygon, you can find two primary hammerhead shark harpooning spots located in Eleuthera, which sits in the northeast region of the game map. The closest early game fast travel point is Nassau. One spot sits on the northern side of Eleuthera at coordinates 705, 868, while the second rests in the southeastern part of the area at 776, 735. Hammerhead sharks are thankfully much weaker than other marine life in the game, meaning you do not need to grind out Jackdaw harpoon upgrades before taking them on.
Keep in mind that these spots only yield one shark at a time and take a while to respawn, so you cannot easily farm them in bulk. If you prefer to skip the harpooning minigame entirely, there is an alternative purchasing route. Once you unlock the hideout in Great Inagua and secure the General Store I upgrade, you can buy the bones directly from any general store vendor.
