Assassin's Creed III Remastered Master Assassin Trophies: Full List & Tips

A sourced walkthrough of the Assassin's Creed III Remastered Master Assassin trophies, with the full platinum checklist, sequence trophies, and tips.

What the Master Assassin Trophy Actually Asks of You

The Master Assassin trophy in Assassin's Creed III Remastered is the platinum. It requires every base-game trophy in the PlayStation platinum set; the Tyranny of King Washington add-on trophies are a separate 100% completion track. The base-game checklist spans the campaign, the Homestead, naval missions, privateer contracts, clubs, collectibles, and other optional systems.

The checklist below is drawn from a PlayerSquared community platinum save set covering the PS4 versions CUSA11711 and CUSA11560, captured on 2026-11-10. If you play on another platform, treat the requirement descriptions as a guide and confirm the exact list in your own trophy or achievement menu, because the source documents the PlayStation set specifically.

One detail worth noticing up front: the source's final entry reads "Master Assassin — Get every trophy." For the PlayStation platinum, that means the base-game trophy set; the Tyranny of King Washington add-on trophies are tracked separately.

Story Trophies: A Sequence-by-Sequence Checklist

Most of the Assassin's Creed III Remastered Master Assassin trophies arrive automatically as you push through the main story. The sequence trophies are unmissable, but they are also the reason a single missed mission constraint can stall the platinum later — the Perfectionist trophy depends on constraints you complete during those same sequences.

TrophyRequirement (as documented in the source)
Rude AwakeningRe-enter the Animus
Mystery GuestComplete Sequence 1 & 2
How D'ya Like Them ApplesComplete Sequence 3
Heroes are BornComplete Sequence 4
The Day the Templars CriedComplete Sequence 5
Tea is for EnglishmenComplete Sequence 6
The Whites of Their EyesComplete Sequence 7
Caged WolfComplete Sequence 8
Two if by SeaComplete Sequence 9
Grim ExpectationsComplete Sequence 10
Difficult EndComplete Sequence 11
The Sum of TruthComplete Sequence 12
No Good Deed Goes UnpunishedOpen the Temple Door and learn Desmond's fate
Criss CrossComplete Present – Skyscraper
Daddy DearestComplete Present – Stadium
The End is NighComplete Present – Abstergo
FinComplete each of the epilogue missions unlocked after the credits roll

The Desmond "Present" sequences are easy to overlook because they break up the historical campaign. In the save set, each one sits on its own slot right after the sequence that precedes it, which tells you how tightly they are spaced.

The source also references Completionist and Multitasking by name inside the walkthrough without spelling out their requirements in full. If either is still locked at the end of your run, check the in-game trophy description rather than relying on a secondhand summary.

Side-Content Trophies: Where Most Players Get Stuck

These are the Assassin's Creed III Remastered Master Assassin trophies that do not come for free. Every one of them is tied to an optional system — the Homestead, the economy, hunting, clubs, or naval side missions.

TrophyRequirement (as documented in the source)
Spit RoastPerform a double assassination using a musket
Whit's fur ye'll no go by ye!Block a firing line 5 times by using a human shield
House PartyRecruit any of the Artisans and see them settled on the Homestead
A Complete SetSee all the optional characters settled at the Homestead
Man of the PeopleLiberate all districts in Boston OR New York
By Invitation OnlyBe invited to join a Club
Monopoly ManSend a convoy to Boston, New York and the Frontier
Magna cum LaudeHave a Trainee reach the Assassin Rank
All Washed UpComplete all Naval Missions aboard the Aquila
Entrepreneur, not Pirate!Complete all 12 Privateer Contracts
Blowing in the WindRetrieve every page for one of Ben Franklin's Almanacs
Patent Not PendingCraft one of Franklin's inventions to decorate your Manor
Bring Down the HouseExplore Fort Wolcott
Kidd GlovesUncover the mystery of Oak Island
PredatorHang 5 enemies by using rope darts
Coureur des BoisExchange undamaged pelts at all different general stores
Circus ActKill 15 guards with a single cannon shot
Original GamerWin a game of Fanorona, Morris and Bowls on the Homestead
In Good StandingComplete all challenges for any of the Clubs
PerfectionistComplete 100% of all main mission constraints
Eye WitnessWitness a predator killing an enemy
An Extraordinary ManComplete the Encyclopedia of the Common Man
Prince of ThievesLoot a convoy without killing any of its guards
Jager BombAfter becoming fully Notorious, kill 10 Jagers before losing your notoriety

Two of these deserve a warning. Perfectionist requires full constraints on every main mission, so anything you skipped during the story has to be replayed — the source's own save replays Sequence 6-2 with the hidden blade and five stealth kills. An Extraordinary Man depends on scanning Homestead residents going about their routines, which is slow and easy to leave until last.

The Tyranny of King Washington Trophies

The save set closes with the three King Washington episodes — Infamy, Betrayal, and Redemption — and lists ten additional DLC trophies tied to them. These are separate from the base-game platinum set and matter for 100% completion, not Master Assassin.

TrophyRequirementEpisode label in source
Uniquely FamiliarReceive an unexpected giftInfamy
FrontiersmanReach 100% synchronization in the FrontierInfamy
West Point PaybackDefeat Benedict ArnoldInfamy
The New Tea PartyReach 100% synchronization in BostonBetrayal
BlindsidedDefeat PutnamBetrayal

First in the HeartsDefeat George WashingtonRedemption
A Wolf in Sheep's ClothingKill 25 enemies while staying cloakedInfamy
Frequent FlyerUse Eagle Flight to travel 1 kmBetrayal
AftershockKill 125 enemies using Bear MightRedemption

The synchronization entries are the ones to plan around if you are pursuing 100% completion beyond the platinum: each episode asks for 100% in a specific region, so collect the Memory Artifacts as you pass them instead of doubling back. These add-on trophies are separate from the Master Assassin platinum requirement.

Fast Tips from the Community Save Set

Even if you never touch a downloaded save, the walkthrough notes are useful, because they describe how little work some of the slower trophies actually need.

  • Magna cum Laude: the source simply loads a save and waits about two minutes for the Trainee to reach Assassin Rank. In your own game, that means the trainee leveling continues in the background while you do something else.
  • Jager Bomb: once you are fully Notorious, keep moving and stealth-kill Jägers as you pass them — the source notes they usually walk alone. Hide in a hay pile if your health dips.
  • Prince of Thieves: attack a convoy bare-handed, then loot it. Killing a guard voids the attempt, so keep your weapons sheathed.
  • Circus Act: a single cannon shot needs to account for 15 guards, so wait for a dense formation rather than firing at scattered soldiers.
  • Coureur des Bois: this one is about undamaged pelts, so a clean kill matters more than a fast one — sell a perfect pelt at each general store to tick it off.
  • Original Gamer: all three Homestead minigames count, so find the bowls court and work through Fanorona, Morris, and Bowls in one session.
  • Eye Witness: the source finds a predator killing an enemy by heading west from a fixed position, which confirms the event is a world encounter you can stumble into rather than a scripted mission.

What the Platinum Save Set Does and Doesn't Do

Per the thread's own notes, each folder holds one CUSA region, and the set reportedly works across both EU and US versions; the author offers to re-region a save if yours does not match. Some saves are homemade and others are improved versions of existing uploads. The most important caution is that some trophies may pop at the same time, which the author flags as a legitimacy concern. In other words, a save set is a reference tool for understanding requirements as much as it is a shortcut.

FAQ

Is the Master Assassin trophy the platinum in Assassin's Creed III Remastered? Yes. Master Assassin is the platinum. Its requirement applies to the base-game trophy set; the King Washington add-on trophies are separate.

Do I need the King Washington trophies for the platinum? No. The Tyranny of King Washington trophies are add-on trophies and are not required for the Master Assassin platinum; they matter for 100% completion.

Can I use the save set if my region doesn't match? According to the thread's notes, each folder contains one CUSA per region and the saves reportedly work with both EU and US versions. The author also offers to re-region a save if you send yours, so region mismatch is not necessarily a dead end.

What is the safest order for the Assassin's Creed III Remastered Master Assassin trophies? Clear the story without skipping mission constraints, because Perfectionist forces replays of anything you left behind. Then work through Homestead recruitment, naval and privateer missions, and the remaining base-game collectibles and challenges. Play the King Washington episodes afterward only if you also want 100% completion.
