Assassin's Creed III: What to Do After Beating the Main Story

Yes, the game continues seamlessly after the credits. Here's everything waiting for you in post-game Colonial America and the Frontier.

Major Post-Game Activities

• Homestead Missions: Complete all artisan quests to max out the manor, unlocking crafting recipes and convoy upgrades.
• Naval Missions: Finish the privateer contract chain for the Aquila's best upgrades and the "Captain of the Aquila" outfit.
• Liberation Missions: Free all 6 districts in Boston & New York to unlock the "Liberator" achievement/trophy and Washington's uniform.
• Collectibles: Feathers (50), Almanac Pages (36), Trinkets, Locked Chests, Peg Leg Trinkets (Captain Kidd's treasure).
• Hunting & Crafting: Master the hunting system for rare pelts (beaver, bear, elk) to craft every pouch/holster upgrade.
• Frontier Exploration: Find all viewpoints, caves, and hidden locations (e.g., the Hermit's shack, Kanien'kehá:ka village).

New Game Plus (NG+)

Not a separate mode. Reload your post-game save—you keep all weapons, outfits, money, and collectible progress. Replay any mission from the DNA tracker with full gear.

DLC (Essential for Full Story)

• The Tyranny of King Washington (3 Episodes): Alternate-history campaign where Washington becomes a monarch. ~6–8 hours.
• Benedict Arnold Missions: 3 missions exposing Arnold's betrayal (originally PS3/PS4 exclusive, now all platforms).
• Hidden Secrets / Ghost of War / Dangerous Secret: Pre-order/retail exclusive missions.

AC3's post-game is meaty—treat the credits as a midpoint, not the end.
