If you want to achieve 100% Assassin's Creed: Black Flag ResyncThere are tons of collectibles to acquire. From song sheet music to boxes, portraits and model ships, there's a lot to find throughout the Caribbean. One of the locations you will encounter later in the game is the island of Misteriosa, a large Mayan temple guarded by Spanish soldiers.
Along with the usual collectibles, this location also boasts two Mayan stelae that you'll need to tackle if you want to unlock the secret armor in Tulum. Here's where to find everything on the island. Then you'll hit 100% and never have to come back again.
All Misteriosa collectible locations
To find Misteriosa, you'll need to head south to the Serranilla region, northeast of the fort, a cluster of islands. As with other locations in this upper region, there are two Spanish ships guarding the island. You'll need to deal with them to safely dock and explore the island.
Because of this, I recommend upgrading your Jackdaw enough to take two 4-star ships. Utilizing mortars and ram attacks to disable boats before they can retaliate can usually cause a lot of explosive damage. Always remember to board this ship. This will allow you to repair the Jackdaw and take down the other ships guarding the island.
Once you are able to explore the island, you will encounter several Spanish soldiers scattered throughout the ruins. You can easily get overwhelmed if you're not careful, so pay attention!

The first Mayan stele is located right after you defeat the Spanish soldiers after climbing the first wall. Go to the stone tower where the sniper was and follow the path down to the east. There's one more guard down there, so you'll need to kill him before running to the Mayan monument near the water. Rotate the symbol on the floor until it lines up with the snake head and pillars along the wall. This may take a few tries as queuing is a bit tricky.
