Mysterious Shards are a bonus item throughout that can be used to unlock extra bonus items. Players will encounter a Shard early in the game at the end of the tutorial, but it will not be until the end of the first main investigation in Baghdad that players will be able to encounter them again. This will happen when Roshan tells Basim to reconnect with Nehal after he admits that he is troubled by how they parted.
Mysterious Shards are one way to find premium Gear, although they will only unlock one full set of Gear in total. Players can find more Gear by opening chests, but Mysterious Shards are also the only way to finish Neha's Calling Investigation. This will lead players to search for Mysterious Shards and find a hidden chamber.

When Basim finds Nehal, one of the recurring secondary characters in , again she will ask him to investigate the Mysterious Shards to help her out. This will start Nehal’s Calling Quest on the Investigation menu, and Basim will have to track down a mysterious area in the desert. She will give him a couple of clues as to where to find this area, and Basim will agree to try to help her with her obsession.
This is also the time when Basim can start finding Mysterious Shards, as before that while they are listed as a collectible in each region on the map of Baghdad, it will not be possible to find them. Like with Dervis’ Artifacts, players will have to find them by wandering around various parts of the map. They will spawn randomly, and when players approach they will learn that Order members are transporting them around Baghdad.
Once Basim has found an Order member with a Mysterious Shard, they can follow them throughout the streets of historical Baghdad to find a good place to ambush them. Players have toassassinate the Order member to get the Shard, but this might be dangerous as most of them also travel with guards. Look for hiding places along the road to lure guards away and whittle down their numbers. Once the Order member is alone, do the same thing to take them down and get their Shard piece.
The best way is typically to find a haystack, as Basim will not likely be noticed, and it will count as a stealth kill even if civilians and guards are nearby. Hide in a haystack and pull the Order member in to assassinate them.
Basim can find the place by searching for the right area, as the clues suggest that it is near an oasis north of the ‘Aqarquf Dunes. There is a Synchronization Point right next to an oasis drawing on the Northeast corner of the map, and that is where Basim should head. Dive into the water and into a cave and follow it through until the end to find the chamber with pillars inside.
