Assassin's Creed Mirage tells the story of Basim, a thief who undergoes a drastic transformation and becomes an assassin. On his return to Baghdad, Basim must rid the city of the malevolent individuals who are part of the Order.

Given their status, it is no easy task to take them down, which is why Basim needs every little help that he can get. After a certain point in Assassin's Creed Mirage, players will unlock new tools. If used properly, they can make Basim's mission of liberating Baghdad easier. Since there are several tools in the game, it is not easy to focus on a single one.
