The most important information about achievements/trophies in Assassin's Creed III Remastered

1. Our guide is for the remastered version of Assassin's Creed III Remastered. The original PC version of Assassin's Creed III has been removed from the shops selling digital versions of games. The original version can still be purchased on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 - both in the digital and physical version.
2. Assassin's Creed III Remastered has 55 trophies (including the platinum trophy) and 54 achievements. These trophies/achievements are both for the original version of the game and the DLCs which are part of the remaster. The PS4 version has one extra platinum trophy.
3. Assassin's Creed III Remastered doesn't have a multiplayer meaning that none of the trophies/achievements require you to play this mode. All achievements/trophies are unlocked in the single-player mode.
4. As for the platinum trophy, the one available in Assassin's Creed III Remastered doesn't require a lot of skills. Instead, you will need to spend a lot of time to get it. One of the main reasons is that you need to complete the game in 100%. This means that you need to get 100% synchronization in every mission, complete all side activities, and get all the collectibles. All of this can take you up to 70 hours, especially when you have to replay missions multiple times due to failing an optional goal.

Of course, you won't be able to get this trophy/achievement right away. Try to visit these people every time you go back to the Homestead.

When you reach that place, you will get a short mission in which you have to kill a specific soldier or rescue a citizen. Complete them. After that, the game will add a new icon marking a person you have to speak to. However, that NPC won't have much to say for now. You need to complete a few minor missions before you will be able to liberate a district. Sadly, they won't get marked on the map. To discover them, you need to walk around a district and look for citizens harassed by the Templars. You can also do that by standing on synchronization viewpoints. By revealing a part of the town, you discover all missions in that particular district. The fastest way to find these missions is to follow the maps presented in our guide.

After completing enough of these minor missions, you will be ordered to liberate a district from the Templars. To get this trophy/achievement you have to focus on only one town. Boston should be quicker - it has fewer minor missions.
