The "Edward Catway" trophy in Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced is one of those objectives that sounds simple until you realise the game gives you absolutely no guidance on how it works. The requirement is to destroy 50 potted plants, but there are two things you need to know before you start smashing pots at random.
First, only specific types of pot count: those containing regular plants, flowers, or fruit such as oranges and lemons. Second, and more importantly, you cannot destroy them with weapons. Hitting pots with your sword or shooting them with a pistol will not register for the trophy at all. The only method that counts is physically knocking them over by rolling into or stepping over them.
Which pots count and which don't
Not every decorative pot in the game will contribute to the trophy. The ones that count are those visibly containing living plants of some kind, whether that's foliage, flowering plants, or fruit-bearing plants. Empty pots, barrels, and other breakable objects around the environment don't register. It's worth taking a second to look at what's in a pot before committing to rolling through a whole row of them, just to make sure you're not wasting time on objects that won't count.
How to break the pots correctly
The only valid method is physical contact. On PS5, the roll button is circle by default, and rolling directly into a potted plant will knock it over and count as destruction. You can also step over smaller pots to topple them. Do not draw your sword and do not pull out a pistol. Neither of these will register the pot as destroyed for the trophy's purposes, even if the pot visibly breaks. It has to be your body doing the work.
The fastest farming method
Rather than wandering the Caribbean hoping to stumble across enough pots, there's a much more efficient route. Fast travel to Great Inagua and head to the manor grounds. The area around the manor has a good number of potted plants clustered together, which makes it easy to roll through several in quick succession without having to walk far between them.
Once you've knocked over every pot in the area, fast travel to the nearest viewpoint and then return. All the pots will have respawned, ready to be knocked over again. Repeat this loop until the trophy pops. Depending on how many pots are available per cycle, it should take a handful of runs to hit the 50 required.
