The "Friend to All" trophy in Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced is earned by interacting with seven distinct species of friendly animal scattered across the game's open world. The seven you need are a cat, dog, cow, pig, parrot, tortoise, and monkey.
None of them are missable in the traditional sense, but the monkey in particular requires a specific story unlock before you can interact with it, so don't expect to knock this trophy out in one early sitting. The rest can be found organically as you explore the Caribbean, and most will cross your path naturally if you spend any time in the major settlements.
Cat and dog
Cats and dogs are the most common animals in the game and the easiest two to tick off. Both can be found in virtually every major settlement, so your safest bets are the big cities: Havana, Kingston, and Nassau all have several of each wandering their streets. Smaller islands also have them, but if you're trying to be efficient, head to any large town and keep your eyes open. Walk up to either animal and press the interact button to pet them. That's all there is to it.
Tortoise
Tortoises are found near coastlines and beaches throughout the Caribbean, and there are enough of them around that you're unlikely to have to go far out of your way. If you're struggling to spot one, check the beaches in and around the main cities, or head to Tulum or Cape Bonavista. Cape Bonavista is actually the very first location you visit in the game, so there's a chance you'll tick this one off before you've even thought about the trophy.
Cow and pig
Cows are common and can be found across various locations without much effort. Pigs are a bit more specific. Based on firsthand experience, the most reliable place to find them is Kingston. Once you're in the city, have a look around the settlement's outskirts and farming areas. Interact with a pig there and you can cross another animal off the list. Don't leave Kingston without doing this, as pigs are harder to come by elsewhere.
Parrot
Parrots are easy to miss entirely if you don't know where to look, because they're not wandering around in the open like the other animals. Instead, they're found next to the pigeon coops where you pick up Assassin contracts across the islands. Beside most of these coops is a small bird cage containing a parrot that you can feed. The interaction prompt will appear when you're close enough. While you're in the area you'll also come across plenty of chickens, and it's worth feeding those too just in case they count toward the trophy.
Monkey
The monkey is the trickiest of the seven, and unlike every other animal on this list, you cannot simply find one in the world and interact with it. You need to progress through the story until you unlock a monkey as a ship pet for the Jackdaw. Once you have it, select the monkey as your active pet. You'll notice it sits beside you at the ship's wheel while you're sailing, but the moment you step away, it vanishes from the deck. To interact with it, head inside your cabin on the Jackdaw and look toward the far end of the room. The monkey will be there waiting. Walk up and pet it, and that's your seventh and final animal done, which unlocks the "Friend to All" trophy.
