As you make your way through , playing as Basim, you will be tasked with eliminating several targets with the first major enemy being Al-Ghul.After infiltrating the Damascus Gate Prison early in your attention will turn to eliminating the first of five targets. With the game set in the desert, many of the locations that you will visit are settlements, and Caravanserai set just outside of Baghdad, is the one where you will find Al-Ghul.
Before trying to enter Caravanserai you should summon Enkidu to scope out the area and plan a route in, with one option a secret entrance on the north side of the settlement. It is a section of water that you can swim through which takes you under the outside walls allowing you to enter unnoticed. However, you can enter in a number of ways as long, as you blend in with the locals once inside. The easiest way to do this is to stay with groups, continue to keep moving, and stay in the shadows when possible. The other option is to go in and take down enemies one after another with stealth. The areas under the walls are safe, but the upper walls surrounding Caravanserai are full of guards keeping watch who will need to be assassinated.

Once you near the settlement you will receive the objective to lure Al-Ghul out to be able to assassinate him.
You need to cause a distraction that will trigger Al-Ghul to come out of hiding.
As is the case in many scenarios in there are two different ways this can be accomplished. The first and more obvious way to lure out Al-Ghul is by speaking to a merchant just outside the main entrance to Caravanserai. He will ask you to find and return items that have been taken from him.
This will require you to sneak into the complex unnoticed by using the secret entrance, but this method will still see you needing to take out a number of enemies. There will be several guards as soon as you emerge from the river, but they can be easily dispatched.
The merchant's crate can be found in the southwest corner of the Caravanserai, but whichever route you take you will need to either be quick or carefully take out guards one at a time. In particular, there is one guard, who is near to the package that is not easy to remove without others seeing. There is a nearby musician who will start playing after you have spoken to him, giving you enough time to work your way around without being seen and retrieve the items.

Once you have picked up the blue crate you will then need to escape Caravanserai, by jumping over the wall and returning them to the merchant. He along with other merchants will walk in

is filled with puzzles for you to complete and one of the first you will discover is the Upper Harbor Gear Chest. There are a number of quests and puzzles for you to solve throughout your time in Baghdad and the surrounding districts including the Tales of Baghdad Quests.
Players of will soon realize that they will need crafting materials to upgrade their items in the game. These can be found in several different manners throughout the game, but players might not be able to find them consistently, particularly at the beginning of their journey. However, there are consistent methods of finding them, if players know where to look as they traverse the city of Baghdad.
In , the final Head of the Order must be found and eliminated to free Baghdad, which turns out to be the former concubine of the Caliphate, Qabiha. Qabiha is a clever woman, and the Palace is well protected when Basim seeks to infiltrate it. Doing so without getting caught will be easier said than done, and once inside the Palace, it is quite challenging to leave it without being followed by every Guard in the vicinity.
Assassin’s Creed Mirage is the latest in Ubisoft’s blockbuster series, and a bit of a throwback to an earlier time for the series. Rather than a big overstuffed RPG, Mirage is more of a traditional action-adventure experience, and as such, some folks more used to recent games like Assassin’s Creed Odyssey and Valhalla may need to adjust slightly.
Basim's main weapon in is a sword, so it's important for him to wield one that looks good as he slices and dices through the guards of Baghdad. Unlike other recent titles, alternative weapons like axes or bow aren't present in the game, meaning that one sword or another will remain equipped throughout the entire game. None of the available blades in are entirely lacking in style, but some are more basic than others, making abandoning less glamorous options once others become available to Basim a good call.
A hallmark of any game in the series, Basim must eliminate targets throughout , one of those being Al-Mardikhwar. This target is one of the Order members at the end of the multiple Investigations that began at the Sharqiyah Bureau for the Hidden Ones in Baghdad. Finding and eliminating him will take some creativity from Basim, as well as help from the Rebels.
Assassin's Creed Mirage is a return to the series' roots in a sense, bringing players to 9th Century Baghdad. But how does it stack up so far compared to the recent series entries? Here is our review in progress.
There are nine Wilderness Gear Chests scattered around the outskirts of Baghdad in . These chests contain the Hidden One Dagger and Hidden One Sword, as well as their respective Upgrade Schematics. The last three chests contain pieces for the Isu set. Each item from these chests is extremely powerful and boasts a compelling reason to acquire it, but it will be no walk in the park. All the Wilderness Gear Chests are hidden in restricted areas, making it difficult for any assassin to find them.
Daggers play a big role in , so picking the design with the best looks can have a surprisingly major impact on the game experience. Although each dagger has its own unique stats, it's possible to prioritize aesthetics thanks to a transmog system included in the game. Blacksmiths will change a weapon to have the look of another for the reasonable price of 50 dirham, so it's easy to pick a blade that has the perfect perk and make it look like one that offers a little more flair.
represents a concerted effort by developer Ubisoft to return this once immensely popular franchise back to its beloved roots. In spite of abandoning the controversial RPG-style gameplay of the past several entries in the franchise, maintains an impressive array of customization options — most significantly in the character aesthetic department. Though the latest installment in the series has a limited supply of unique outfits and costumes when compared with previous installments, the developer has evidently elected to value quality over quantity as the vast majority of 's apparel options are exceptionally well-designed — though, inevitably, some are so much better than others.
Looking for the Abbasid Knight Upgrade Schematics across Baghdad in is a perplexing challenge. However, it is completely worthwhile. When out of enemy sight, the Abbasid Knight Outfit slowly regenerates Basim's health, making it ideal for an assassin of his nature. The Abbasid Knight Sword and Dagger that come with the set are also worth picking up. However, the set isn't finished even if you have all the pieces. To properly complete the collection, you must find all the Abbasid Knight Upgrade Schematics scattered throughout the map.
