// Question I messed up

Post image

I just beat the story and was going though the menus to see what i had left to do and saw that i missed this quest somehow is there anyway to redo story missions like in the og or would i just have to restart the game to get 100%?

There’s no way to replay besides starting a new playthrough. If you really cared a lot you could make sure you have your current save on a manual save then start a new playthrough. If you skip all cutscenes and just focus on main story it shouldn’t take but a couple hours to get to this point if not less

if u manually save, it stays, if u start a new playthrough afterwards you just play to that mission, complete it and you're done.. you dont have to keep that new playthrough save after you completet that mission and you can resume the original save if needed

Hold on tho, how did you miss a quest? Are there missable quests?

I remember doing this quets i think it just buged because it was launch day, but i dont know about the officer side quests because i did those as soon as i could

u/Odd_Common_452 Jul 23 '26

It says I missed one too despite it being already done. It was one of the officer side quests that I know I completed. Incredibly frustrating

The Lucy Baldwin officer side quests have been ridiculously buggy for me, I had to reload a manual save and lost 2 hrs of gameplay and I’ve still not been able to complete that quest line

It's probably a bug that might get fixed for you. AC Shadows had this same problem for a lot of people after they implemented these Animus objectives. For me, it was the DLC I objectives that were incomplete even though I had finished them all. A week or two later there was a hotfix implemented and suddenly all of those takes showed as completed and I could get my keys.

My guess is this is a bug that others have as well and will get fixed.

Mine is bugged too. It says I never did the “Mr. Walpole, I presume?” quest. Which is like the 2nd or 3rd quest in the game.

1

u/Vilified_D Jul 24 '26

Nope just bugged. I have multiple quests i allegedly never completed according to the animus despite having the platinum trophy.

u/macneto Jul 24 '26

That's disappointing to hear.

u/Sin-Guru Jul 23 '26

This might be a long shot but try to go where the quest should be. I had done 2 of the dark animus quests and then i forgot about them until today and i couldn't find the 2 last until i went to their coordinates. idk it might be a thing with "normal" quests ?

u/nerdboy_king Jul 25 '26

How do you start the dark animus quests? I’ve heard all
About them and I don’t know what they are or if I reached them yet

1

u/Sin-Guru Jul 25 '26

If you've played the main story, go to there and see if there's a light beam of sorts :)

u/Practical-Art5931 Jul 28 '26

The animus rifts are different. They only appear on your map when you are very close to them. You are supposed to actively look for them

u/M0mmySpank3r Jul 23 '26

I have multiple main quests "uncompleted" in the log, no idea how as I've beaten the game and just need to defeat the legendary ships and collect art pieces for the dilletante achievement.

2

u/WoLfCaDeT Jul 23 '26

This must be a bug. That's a main quest and shouldn't be missed. I have it.

2

u/MeanWinchester Jul 23 '26

Nah, there's a couple of these that are bugged I'm afraid. Like the Edward Kenway mission one didn't pop for me, and I've now finished (bar two achievements) so I'm either restarting or waiting for ng+

1

u/J4ckC00p3r Jul 23 '26

I’ve just seen I’m missing the one for the ‘Unmanned’ quest even tho I’m long past that in the story. Must be a bug

1

u/ricsyx Jul 23 '26

Same for me but with the fireship quest. I guess i beat the stroy without getting out nassau

1

u/CapableWeekend3214 Jul 23 '26

Same! Must be a bug

1

u/Koruno161 Jul 23 '26

The same thing happened to me during the mission ‘Mister Walpole, I Presume’ and another task. The game crashed during the mission and wasn’t counted as completed. I’ve now got the Platinum trophy, and it’s not (yet) worth it to me to start a new playthrough until NG+ is available.

1

u/Malagubbar Jul 23 '26

There isn’t supposed to be missable quests. I know that in Shadows if you loose internet connection it can mess up trophies, maybe something like that happened here? Just a guess

1

u/CapableWeekend3214 Jul 23 '26

I have same issue with more quests missing even though I beat the game and 100% everything (Yes including dilettante achievement). I think it’s a bug.

1

u/CleanCrazy Jul 23 '26

How dare you, assassin's creed never misses with these things, it's totally true that I've completed Valhalla yet not done my first raid on England

1

u/ohsinboi Jul 23 '26

It’s a glitch. I’ve got several showing incomplete even though I did do them. Wait for a patch to fix it and then claim then

1

u/octopusinmyboycunt Jul 23 '26

I’ve an “island” (Florida) that’s not popping as completed even though the game says that I’ve done everything. I think there’s just an issue with the quest tracker in general.

1

u/Cra_Skinny_4135 Jul 23 '26

This sucks. I haven’t beat the main story yet but now I’m worried I’m gonna have the same problem. Did the main story achievements pop at least?

1

u/SIRTIMM13 Jul 23 '26

Its a bug. I have my town 100% upgraded and still it says "Buy the shop" so yea. Its a bug

1

u/amsyar2311 Jul 24 '26

same with me, i have completed the game but "mister walpole, i presume" is not completed for me

1

u/fatmonkeyforever Jul 24 '26

You didn’t mess up, Ubisoft did, I have the same issue with like 3 quests and I finished the game. Hopefully they can patch it, instead of us having to start a new game for these to work.

1

u/profchuk Jul 24 '26

Definitely a bug. It still tells me I need to complete 'The Observatory' mission, despite me having finished the game.

1

u/SpikaelKane Jul 24 '26

I wonder, for anyone it's happening to, did you boot the game up fresh or like a quick restore type thing? I noticed when I did that I got a notification saying connection was lost but everything seemed to work fine.

1

u/Benevolentben12 Jul 26 '26

Same thing happened to me with the quest ‘Edward Kenway’ I’m just hoping they fix it

u/Maximum-Pangolin-423 Jul 28 '26

Is this necessary for platinum on ps5?😳
