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.
Among other assassination targets such as Fazil the Great Scholar, Basim will have to find a way to quietly eliminate Al-Mardikhwar. Basim and Ali ibn Muhammad approach the Great Garrison in order to find and free Beshi, along with other captured rebels. They must infiltrate and find the Warlord Wasif, Al-Mardikhwar's real identity, to end the mission.

To enter the Garrison, use some eavesdropping and careful planning to move into the fortress and meet the Steward. There are other ways to enter the Inner Garrison, but this one will lead the player on the most direct and quieter path. To do so, look for thearcher standing near one of the main entrances.
It is possible to approach and sneak behind him, assassinating him if you so wish along the way. This will get you into position to drop hidden to a bit of wall that Basim can slip under and into the main part of the fortress where the Steward is located.
Once inside, use the Eagle Sense to spot where the Steward is waiting by the cookhouse. By moving upward directly from where Basim entered, it is possible to sneak past the Guards and make your way to the back where you can approach the Steward unseen. Talk to him, and he will direct you to follow him by staying in the shadows unlike when Basim stayed directly beside the Merchants when infiltrating the Damascus Gate Prison.
Assassinating the guards at the entrance, including this archer and the other main guard nearby, might be seen by civilians, causing Basim's Notoriety to increase. Distract or sneak past them to avoid this, or take the risk. One level of Notoriety will not affect the rest of the quest and it can be lowered as soon as you have finished.
Trail the Steward through the fortress, staying in the grass and edging along the wall and up high where necessary. He will lead you and wait for you to make it where you need to go before moving forward. Taking out thespearman who is watching the row of guards as they have an inspection is necessary for Basim to continue moving along sneakily. He can sneak behind the archer, but if he does not assassinate or distract him, the archer will spot him as he tries to move beyond that point.
Continue following the Steward, quietly assassinating anyone that he must, although it is possible to distract the guards enough

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.
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.
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.
