Tracking Down Red Howler Monkeys in Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced

Need help finding red howler monkeys in Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced? Here is where to locate them, how to hunt them efficiently, and what upgrades they unlock.
Revisiting classic open world titles with modern visual upgrades is a major trend right now, and Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced is no exception. While the updated release brings a fresh coat of paint to Ubisoft's beloved pirate adventure, the core progression systems remain faithful to the original release. If you are diving back into the Caribbean to hunt, sneak, and fight your way through the campaign, you will eventually need to track down specific wildlife to upgrade your gear. One of the most sought-after materials early on comes from the elusive red howler monkey, which is required to craft the Dart Pouch II upgrade.
Unlike regular howler monkeys that populate various regions of the map, the red variant is restricted to a single location. According to a detailed guide by Marloes Valentina Stella over at Polygon, players can find these creatures on Isla Providencia located at coordinates 480, 16 on the southern side of the map. This area unlocks naturally during the Marooned main quest. Once you reach the island, head toward the western viewpoint near the Mayan stone location, follow the path east, and look behind the fallen rectangular pillar where two red howler monkeys dwell in the trees.
Efficiency matters when you are grinding out crafting materials and cosmetics like the Pallas Athena figurehead. Firing a loud pistol will immediately scatter your targets, so players should rely on sleep darts to secure clean takedowns. For those looking to maximize their yield without unnecessary backtracking, equipping the Exotic Sea Shells trinket grants double rewards per hunt. It is a minor detail, but knowing the exact routing saves considerable time as you kit out Edward Kenway for the harder naval challenges ahead.
