Set in the 9th-century medieval city of Baghdad, Assassin's Creed Mirage returns to the roots of the franchise with a focus on parkour and stealth. While the game is not as long as more recent installments in the series, it nonetheless presents players with plenty of challenges.
There are 50 achievements of varying difficulties in the game, and the hardest achievements in Assassin's Creed Mirage take skill, patience, and sometimes a bit of luck to unlock. Knowing exactly what these challenges entail and how to beat them will help players looking to 100% the game.
Best Games Set In The Desert
A lot of games take to the desert, showcasing the biome's beauty as well as danger.
7 Scholar - Bring All 7 Lost Books To Al-Jahiz
There are seven Lost Books to be found in Assassin's Creed Mirage, with one found in Karkh and Abbasiyah respectively, two in both Harbiyah and the Wilderness, as well as one in the Round City but players must have at least started The Serpent's Nest quest to get this one.
To return the seven Lost Books to Al-Jahiz and earn the Scholar achievement, players must have progressed far enough in the story to have met him. He can be found just outside the Round City in his house.
6 Self-Improvement - Unlock All Skills
There are twenty-three skills available in Assassin's Creed Mirage and to get the Self-Improvement achievement, players must unlock all of these. Skill points which are used to unlock skills, are acquired by completing missions and progressing through the main story in general. Players cannot grind for XP by going around and killing lots of enemies.
Assassin's Creed Mirage: 7 Most Beautiful Locations In Baghdad
There's no shortage of beautiful locations in AC Mirage's version of Baghdad.
Other than playing the main campaign, the best ways to get skill points are by collecting all the Lost Books and completing Tales of Baghdad side quests. Certain contracts found at the Hidden One Bureaus will also reward players with skill points. If there aren't any available, players will need to first complete other contracts before new ones are added to the board.
5 Silencer - Destroy A Horn Bearer's Horn With A Throwing Knife
The difficult thing about the Silencer achievement is that players are unlikely to use a throwing knife on a Horn Bearer's horn given that this is a secret and hidden achievement. The easiest way to complete Silencer is to find a Horn Bearer before combat starts and throw the knife at their horn while it is on their back.
This is a good tactic to use in general, as it will prevent Horn Bearers from sounding the alarm and rousing their fellow guards, which means that players will have fewer enemies to fight or run from.
4 Hoarder - Save Up 2007 Dirhams
2007 is the year that the original Assassin's Creed game was released, and it is also the amount of Dirhams that players will need to amass in order to unlock the Hoarder achievement. There are many ways to make money fast in Assassin's Creed Mirage, including completing contracts and pickpocketing the citizens of medieval Baghdad.
To make pickpocketing easier, players can wait until they unlock the Pickpocket Master skill. Other than the Dirhams that players will steal, players will also loot trinkets that can then be sold to merchants.
3 Gifted Escapist - Collapse 20 Scaffolding Structures
While collapsing scaffolding structures is not hard, especially as players don't have to hit pursuing enemies with them, simply finding twenty is the difficult aspect of this achievement. However, if players are actively looking for them as they explore and complete other challenges and achievements, it becomes a lot easier.
One of the easiest ways to quickly complete the Gifted Escapist achievement is to locate the Excavation Site for the Find the Missing Brother quest, as there are three scaffolding structures here. Players can visit viewpoints to respawn scaffolding.
2 Eagle's Will - Survive 10 Minutes In Open Conflict
Eagle's Will is easily one of the hardest achievements in Mirage as players have to survive 10 minutes in combat. Interestingly this is a throwback to the Eagle's Flight achievement from the original Assassin's Creed game, and one of many small Easter eggs in the game.
7 Ways To Fully Immerse Yourself In Assassin's Creed Mirage
There are several ways that players can improve the immersion factor in Assassin's Creed Mirage.
There are ways to cheese this achievement for example by finding single targets that may even be animals in the wilderness, players can simply dodge their attacks without finishing them off for 10 minutes. However, truly skilled (and confident) players can challenge themselves to take on a large contingent of guards somewhere in the city, making sure they drag the fight out for at least 10 minutes.
1 Blade In The Crowd - Assassinate 10 Guards While Blending With The Crowd
What makes the Blade in the Crowd achievement so hard is that guards are normally positioned at a safe distance from crowds large enough for Basim to blend into. In order to assassinate ten guards while blending in, players can hire merchants to get close to the guards and then use Assassin's Focus to take out multiple targets at once.
City gates or entrances to large out-of-bounds locations such as the prison are ideal places to complete this achievement, but players will have to move to new sites after one round of assassinations.
