Puzzles & Codes
How To Solve The Observatory Puzzle In Assassin’s Creed Mirage
To solve the Observatory puzzle in Assassin’s Creed Mirage, head behind the building during the A Life’s Work quest and climb onto the movable shelving unit. Use a Throwing Knife through the window to destroy the wooden bar blocking the front door.
Once inside, collect the three missing pages around the Observatory area. One page is inside the building, another blows away and must be chased across nearby rooftops, and the final page is located near the top of the Observatory dome.
Return all three pages to Al-Mahani outside the Observatory to complete the quest and earn a Skill Point.
All Gear Chest Puzzle Solutions In Assassin’s Creed Mirage
Most Gear Chests in Assassin’s Creed Mirage are locked behind environmental puzzles, hidden keys, barred doors, or destructible walls. Common solutions include moving shelves, throwing Throwing Knives through windows to break door bars, and using explosive red jars to destroy fragile walls or floors.
Several chests also require story progression before they become accessible, especially late-game locations in Karkh. Using Eagle Vision regularly helps identify destructible objects, movable shelves, hidden windows, and keys much faster.
The hardest chest puzzles are usually found in Upper Harbor, The Four Markets, House of Wisdom, Dur-Kurigalzu, and Al-Jahiz’s House.
Locations & Collectibles
How To Unlock Every Hidden One Bureau In Assassin’s Creed Mirage
The Hidden One Bureaus in Assassin’s Creed Mirage unlock naturally as you progress through the main story and investigate targets across Baghdad. Each bureau acts as a Hidden Ones safehouse, fast travel point, contract hub, and story location.
Most bureaus are hidden beneath rooftops rather than accessible from street level. Use Enkidu to scout for the classic Assassin insignia and look for a green rooftop with an opening or skylight you can drop through.
There are four main bureaus in the game located in Harbiyah, Abbasiyah, Karkh, and the Round City. Once you enter a bureau for the first time, it permanently unlocks as a fast travel point.
All Tales Of Baghdad Locations And Rewards In Assassin’s Creed Mirage
There are 6 Tales of Baghdad side quests in Assassin’s Creed Mirage, spread across Harbiyah, Abbasiyah, Karkh, and the Wilderness. Completing them rewards Skill Points, Dirhams, and Power of Favor Tokens.
Most Tales of Baghdad are short narrative-focused quests involving investigations, rooftop traversal, combat encounters, or environmental puzzles. They are also required for full district completion and count toward the Explorer trophy.
None of the Tales are missable, so you can complete them after finishing the main story.
Where To Find Every Dye And Costume In Assassin’s Creed Mirage
In Assassin’s Creed Mirage, dyes are unlocked through story progression, eliminating Order Members, collecting Historical Sites, completing high-difficulty challenges, or purchasing them from merchants across Baghdad.
Costumes work differently from outfits. They completely change Basim’s appearance while keeping the stats of your currently equipped gear. Most costumes are earned through collectibles, major side activities, or endgame challenges.
Some exclusive dyes and costumes are also tied to Full Synchronization, Permadeath Mode, Twitch drops, Ubisoft Connect rewards, and DLC content.
All Lost Books Locations In Recommended Order In Assassin’s Creed Mirage
There are 7 Lost Books in Assassin’s Creed Mirage, including one hidden secret book unlocked after finding the others. Returning every book to Al-Jahiz at the House of Wisdom unlocks the Scholar trophy and cosmetic rewards.
The best way to collect them is by district progression. Start with the easier books in Harbiyah and Abbasiyah, move into Karkh and the Wilderness, then save the Palace of the Green Dome book for late game story progression.
Most Lost Books require small environmental puzzles involving barred doors, movable shelves, oil jars, or rooftop entrances.
Systems & Mechanics
How Pickpocketing Works And How To Steal Easier In Assassin’s Creed Mirage
Pickpocketing in Assassin’s Creed Mirage uses a quick-time event where you press the steal button a second time while a shrinking diamond lands inside the blue success zone. Successful steals reward Dirhams, trinkets, keys, or valuable Favor Tokens.
The easiest way to steal without failing is enabling Guaranteed Pickpocket in the gameplay settings. You can also unlock the Pickpocket Master skill to widen the timing window or use Sleep Darts to loot unconscious targets without triggering the mini-game.
Using Eagle Vision helps identify valuable targets quickly since rare loot carriers glow gold instead of white.
How Investigation Missions Work In Assassin’s Creed Mirage
The investigation system in Assassin’s Creed Mirage works like a detective board instead of a traditional linear quest log. You gather clues through exploration, eavesdropping, pickpocketing, contracts, and stealth missions to slowly uncover the identities and locations of Order of the Ancients targets.
Every clue adds new information to the Investigation Board, unlocking additional leads, side objectives, and eventually the final assassination mission. Most major targets remain hidden behind question marks until enough evidence is collected.
If you ever get stuck, open the Investigation Board and hover over locked nodes to see exactly which clue or activity you still need to complete.
Best Way To Earn Tokens Fast In Assassin’s Creed Mirage
The fastest way to earn Merchant Tokens, Scholar Tokens, and Power Tokens in Assassin’s Creed Mirage is enabling Guaranteed Pickpocketing and farming crowded market districts like Karkh Bazaar or the Round City.
Turn on Eagle Vision to identify NPCs carrying glowing gold pouches, then rapidly steal from targets while moving through crowds. You can also complete Bureau Contracts for guaranteed token rewards and bonus payouts.
If NPCs stop spawning, changing the game difficulty and switching it back instantly refreshes the crowd and creates new pickpocket targets.

Trophy: Master of His Fate
Earn every trophy.
Type: Platinum
Tags: Misc
Unlock Details
Earn every trophy.
Missable
Trophy: Masquerader
Obtain both disguises in Baghdad.
Type: Bronze
Category: Missable
Unlock Details
You need to obtain both disguises in Baghdad, and this one is missable if you are not paying attention during specific missions. The White Patient Robe is obtained naturally during the story, but the Eunuch Tunic must be looted during The Great Symposium when you reach the basement cells, so make sure you grab it from the corpse before moving on. If you miss it there, you can still get it during The Servant and the Impostor by stealing it from tailors on the rooftops near the Harem, so use Enkidu to spot them quickly and save yourself some wandering.
Trophy: You Snooze, You Lose
Pickpocket a guard affected by a blowdart.
Type: Bronze
Category: Missable
Unlock Details
Pickpocket a guard while they are unconscious from a blowdart. This trophy is missable, so make sure you do it once blowdarts are available. Only two enemy types count. Guards carrying door keys, marked with the key icon in Eagle Vision, and guards carrying Mysterious Shards, marked with the shard icon. Mysterious Shard carriers are the safest choice since they are usually alone and not in Restricted Areas. Shoot the blowdart to knock the target unconscious, then pickpocket them while they are asleep. Do not kill them, or it will not count. Take your time, confirm the icon with Eagle Vision, and grab the loot while they are snoring.

Collectible
Trophy: Curio Collector
Pickpocket all 18 artifacts and bring them to Dervis.
Type: Silver
Category: Collectible
Unlock Details
Pickpocket all 18 artifacts and bring them to Dervis. These collectibles become available after you meet Dervis again during his second quest. The artifacts are carried by specific NPCs across five districts and are marked with a golden pickpocket icon once you are close enough. Use Enkidu in static mode to tag the yellow beams of light from above, since these targets do not always show on the compass until you are nearby. The pickpocket timing is slightly tighter than normal, so stay calm and do not rush the input. Once you have collected all 18 artifacts, return them to Dervis. Turn in the last one and the trophy unlocks. Take it district by district and it stays very manageable.
Trophy: Explorer
Explore all Baghdad territories.
Type: Silver
Category: Collectible
Unlock Details
Explore all territories in the Baghdad region. This trophy is tied to clearing the map rather than pure completion, but it still asks you to interact with most of what Baghdad offers. You need to uncover the region by synchronizing Viewpoints and discovering collectibles as you move through each district. Most collectibles must be found, but you do not need to solve every Enigma. Completing just one Enigma is enough for this trophy. Use Enkidu often. Switch to his static scan and tag the yellow beams of light to mark points of interest from the air. Many collectibles will not appear on the map or compass until you are very close, so scouting from above saves a lot of time. Move district by district, clear the fog, and the trophy will unlock once the entire region has been explored.
Trophy: Riddle Me This
Solve an enigma to obtain a treasure.
Type: Bronze
Category: Collectible
Unlock Details
Obtain a treasure by solving an Enigma. You only need to complete one for this trophy. Enigmas are letters you find around Baghdad that describe a location through riddles and drawings. After picking one up, read it in Inventory, then Bag, then Enigmas to understand where to go. Once you reach the correct spot, you can collect the treasure, which is usually a dye or talisman. Do not go to the treasure location before finding the letter, since the item will not be there. Solve one Enigma from start to finish and the trophy unlocks.
Trophy: Scholar
Bring all 7 lost books to Al-Jahiz.
Type: Bronze
Category: Collectible
Unlock Details
Bring all seven Lost Books to Al-Jahiz at the House of Wisdom. These books are collectibles scattered around Baghdad and are required to fully clear the regions. Each Lost Book is found inside a locked building that acts as a small environmental puzzle. Figure out how to enter the building, retrieve the book, and move on to the next one. None of them require combat mastery, just observation and patience. Once you have collected all seven, return to Al-Jahiz and deliver them. The trophy unlocks as soon as the final book is turned in. Take your time with these. They are meant to be thoughtful, not stressful.
Grind
Trophy: The Hands of a Thief
Pickpocket 50 people.
Type: Silver
Category: Grind
Unlock Details
Pickpocket 50 people. When using Eagle Vision, NPCs fade out and anyone carrying loot will have a pocket highlighted in white or yellow on their back. Approach from behind and press Triangle to pickpocket them. To make this much easier, turn on Guaranteed Pickpocket in the settings. Open the menu, go to Options, then Gameplay, and enable it. This removes the QTE entirely and lets you pickpocket instantly. You can do this anywhere, but the market area in Karkh is ideal due to the dense crowds and constant movement. Pickpocket regularly as you pass through busy areas and this will unlock faster than you expect, while also supplying you with useful loot and tokens.
Trophy: Tools of the Trade
Fully upgrade all tools.
Type: Silver
Category: Grind
Unlock Details
Fully upgrade every tool. All tools are upgraded through Banu Musa in the Hidden Ones’ Bureau once they are unlocked. Upgrading tools requires raw materials, with Components being the main bottleneck since you need a large amount overall. Do not rush this. Buy materials from traders when you can, pickpocket regularly, loot every chest you see, and complete contracts from the Hidden Ones’ Bureau to keep resources flowing. This is a long-term trophy that comes together naturally if you stay consistent with looting and contracts. Upgrade tools whenever you have the materials instead of saving everything for the end. Once the final tool reaches its last upgrade, the trophy unlocks.
Combat
Trophy: A True Hidden One
Assassinate 10 guards in a row without triggering open conflict.
Type: Bronze
Category: Combat
Unlock Details
Assassinate ten enemies without ever being detected. If an enemy spots you and enters combat, your progress resets and you must start again. Stealth is everything here. Restricted areas are ideal since enemies are packed closely together, but take it slow and plan each kill. You do not need to use the Hidden Blade. Throwing knives work perfectly and often make this much safer from a distance. To make this easier, assassinate two or three nearby enemies, then fast travel far away and return. The enemies will respawn, letting you repeat clean kills without risking detection. Stay patient, stay unseen, and once you chain ten clean takedowns, the trophy unlocks.
Trophy: Ambush
Have 10 guards trigger traps.
Type: Bronze
Category: Combat
Unlock Details
Have ten guards trigger traps. Traps unlock the same way as other tools after Branching Out, once Banu Musa lets you choose and expand your loadout. Equip traps from the tool wheel and throw them directly into patrol paths or chokepoints where guards are guaranteed to walk. You do not need kills. A guard simply triggering the trap is enough for it to count. Poison or sleep traps both work, so use whichever fits your playstyle. Place them calmly, let enemies walk into them, and move on. Loot Tool Chests or buy traps from traders to stay stocked. This one stacks quietly in the background while you play stealthy.
Trophy: Attention Seeker
Distract 10 guards with noisemakers.
Type: Bronze
Category: Combat
Unlock Details
Distract ten guards using noisemakers. Noisemakers unlock the same way as other tools after Branching Out by talking to Banu Musa. Equip a noisemaker and throw it near guards to pull their attention to the sound. As long as a guard reacts and moves to investigate, it counts. You do not need to follow up with a kill or stealth action. Use them frequently while sneaking through restricted areas and this will stack quickly. Loot Tool Chests or buy noisemakers from traders to stay supplied. Sometimes noise is the cleanest solution.
Trophy: Blade in the Crowd
Assassinate 10 guards while blending.
Type: Bronze
Category: Combat
Unlock Details
Assassinate ten guards while blending with the crowd. You are considered blended when standing next to a group of three or more civilians and a white outline appears around Basim. While blended, use a whistle to lure a nearby guard toward you. When they step into range, assassinate them normally. Markets and busy streets make this much easier since crowds are constant. Stay patient, let the guard come to you, and disappear back into the people like nothing happened.
Trophy: Eagle's Eye
Kill 75 guards with throwing knives.
Type: Silver
Category: Combat
Unlock Details
Kill 75 guards using throwing knives. This stacks over time and can be worked on from very early in the game. Throwing knives are one of the most efficient tools, especially for stealth kills. After completing the main quest Zeroing In, upgrade the throwing knife to boost its damage and make kills more reliable. Unlocking the Knife Recovery skill is strongly recommended, since Basim can only carry four knives by default and recovering them after kills saves a lot of downtime. Use knives whenever you spot isolated guards or patrols you can thin out quietly. Loot Tool Chests or buy knives from traders to stay stocked. Keep using them naturally during infiltration and this will unlock without feeling like a grind.
Trophy: Eagle's Will
Survive 10 minutes in open conflict.
Type: Silver
Category: Combat
Unlock Details
Survive ten minutes in a single, uninterrupted open conflict. Conflict begins when you attack enemies, are spotted in restricted areas, or are seen in the city while at maximum notoriety. Once combat starts, eliminate all enemies except one. Keep that final enemy alive and stay engaged with them the entire time. Do not run away or break line of sight, since losing contact can end the conflict and reset the attempt. Focus on dodging their attacks and playing defensively. All ten minutes must happen in one continuous fight. Stay calm, keep moving, and let patience do the work. When the time is up, the trophy unlocks.
Video Guide: https://www.youtube.com/embed/Enjboar6Dh0
Trophy: Headhunter
Headshot 20 guards with throwing knives.
Type: Bronze
Category: Combat
Unlock Details
Headshot 20 guards using throwing knives. This stacks across the game and pairs perfectly with Eagle’s Eye. Aim slightly above center mass and throw the knife directly at the head. Stationary or unaware guards make this much easier, especially during stealth sections. Upgrading your throwing knives helps ensure clean kills, but precision matters more than damage here. Stay patient, line up the shot, and the headshots will come naturally.
Trophy: Silencer
Destroy a Horn Bearer's horn with a throwing knife.
Type: Bronze
Category: Combat
Unlock Details
Destroy a Horn Bearer’s horn using a throwing knife. These enemies use their horns to call reinforcements, so stopping them early is key. Activate Eagle Vision to highlight the Horn Bearer. Their body will glow red and the horn itself will appear yellow. Aim carefully and throw a knife directly at the horn to break it. You do not need to kill the enemy for this to count. Take your time lining up the throw, especially before they spot you. One clean hit to the horn and the trophy unlocks.
Video Guide: https://www.youtube.com/embed/xdGDKjvAUGE
Trophy: Sleep Tight
Put 10 guards to sleep with blowdarts.
Type: Bronze
Category: Combat
Unlock Details
Put ten guards to sleep using blowdarts. Blowdarts become available after completing the main quest Branching Out, when Banu Musa lets you choose your first tool in the Hidden Ones’ Bureau. Select blowdarts, then equip them from the tool wheel. Aim at a guard and fire to knock them unconscious. You do not need to stay hidden afterward, as long as the guard falls asleep from the dart. Upgrades are not required for this trophy, but they make using the tool more flexible later. Loot Tool Chests or buy blowdarts from traders to stay stocked. Use them during normal stealth play and this will unlock naturally.
Trophy: Surprise!
Assassinate 10 guards from hiding spots.
Type: Bronze
Category: Combat
Unlock Details
Assassinate ten guards from hiding spots. Use classic stealth spots like hay piles, benches, rooftop gardens, or behind curtains and corners. Hide, then whistle to lure a guard toward you. When they get close enough, assassinate them from cover. You do not need special timing or upgrades for this, just patience. Use hiding spots whenever you see them and this will unlock naturally as you play sneaky and smart.
Trophy: The Shadow and the Flame
Defeat a Shakiriyya in combat.
Type: Bronze
Category: Combat
Unlock Details
Defeat a Shakiriyya in open combat. These elite hunters only appear when your notoriety reaches the maximum level, so you will need to cause enough trouble for them to be sent after you. Once they spawn, there is no stealth option. Shakiriyya cannot be assassinated and must be fought head-on. They are fast, aggressive, and relentless, so stay focused. Parry often, dodge when pressured, and do not get greedy with attacks. Create space, punish openings, and keep your stamina under control. Win the fight and the trophy unlocks. It is meant to feel intense. Survive it, and you prove you belong in the shadows.
Trophy: Unstoppable
Kill 5 guards with one use of Assassin's Focus.
Type: Silver
Category: Combat
Unlock Details
Kill five guards using a single activation of Assassin’s Focus. Assassin’s Focus unlocks after completing the first Ancient Order case and eliminating Al-Ghul, The Slayer. By default, you can only tag two enemies, so you must unlock Assassin’s Focus Capacity 1 and Capacity 2 to increase the limit to five targets. These upgrades require a total of eleven skill points. Make sure your Focus bars are fully charged by performing stealth kills before attempting this. Find a group of five guards close together, activate Assassin’s Focus, tag each one, and execute them in one sequence. Set it up calmly and this will feel effortless when it clicks.
Trophy: Up in Smoke
Affect 20 guards with smoke bombs.
Type: Bronze
Category: Combat
Unlock Details
Affect 20 guards using smoke bombs. Smoke bombs unlock through the same process as other tools after Branching Out by speaking with Banu Musa. Throw a smoke bomb into a group of enemies to affect multiple guards at once. This works especially well during open combat or crowded restricted areas, where one bomb can tag several targets. You do not need to kill anyone for it to count. Loot Tool Chests or buy smoke bombs from traders to keep your supply up. Use them whenever things get messy and this trophy will unlock naturally.
Misc
Trophy: Bird of Prey
Tag 100 guards using Enkidu.
Type: Bronze
Category: Misc
Unlock Details
Tag 100 guards using Enkidu. This will happen naturally as you play and scout areas. Press Up to control Enkidu, then hold R2 to stabilize and start tagging enemies marked with a white circle. Each tagged guard counts toward the total, and progress carries across the entire game. Use Enkidu whenever you enter restricted zones or objectives to plan routes and mark threats. Be aware of Marksmen, since they can shoot Enkidu and temporarily disable him. Keep tagging as you explore and this trophy will unlock on its own without any grinding.
Trophy: Crossing Paths
Complete a Tale from Baghdad.
Type: Bronze
Category: Misc
Unlock Details
Complete any Tale from Baghdad. These are side quests found naturally in the city and are not picked up from the contract board. There are six Tales of Baghdad in total, each marked with its own icon on the map. You only need to finish one for this trophy. Most of them are short, story-focused quests that involve helping people around Baghdad. Pick whichever one you stumble across first and see it through to the end. Once the tale is completed, the trophy unlocks.
Trophy: Cutting Edge
Fully upgrade a weapon.
Type: Bronze
Category: Misc
Unlock Details
Fully upgrade any weapon. You can do this with either a sword or a dagger, since those are the only weapon types available. Upgrades are done at the Blacksmith once you have the weapon’s schematics and enough raw materials. A full upgrade requires steel ingots and leather for both upgrade tiers, with the second tier costing more than the first. Steel ingots and leather can be bought from traders, looted from chests, pickpocketed from NPCs, or earned through contracts from the Hidden Ones’ Bureau. Pick a weapon you like, focus your resources on it, and once it reaches its final upgrade level, the trophy unlocks.
Trophy: Dawn and Dusk
Use benches to pass time 5 times.
Type: Bronze
Category: Misc
Unlock Details
Use benches to pass time five times. Find any bench and sit on it by pressing Triangle to blend in. While seated, hold Triangle to fast forward time until day turns into night or night into day. You can use the same bench every time, it still counts. Do this five times and the trophy unlocks. Sometimes waiting is the stealthiest move.
Trophy: Defender of the People
Complete 10 faction contracts.
Type: Silver
Category: Misc
Unlock Details
Complete ten faction contracts. Contracts unlock after finishing the main quest Zeroing In, when the notice board becomes available in the Hidden Ones’ Bureau. You start with five contracts, and each one you complete unlocks another. They usually involve theft or assassination and are quick to finish if you stay focused on the objective. Each contract also has an optional bonus condition that rewards extra materials if you complete it, but the bonus is not required for the trophy. Work through them at your own pace and treat them like short side jobs between main missions. Once you complete ten, the trophy unlocks.
Trophy: Fashion Statement
Apply dye to an outfit.
Type: Bronze
Category: Misc
Unlock Details
Apply a dye to any outfit. Open your Inventory, select your outfit, and choose one of its available dyes to change its appearance. Dyes can be bought from traders or earned by solving Enigmas around Baghdad. Each outfit has its own set of dyes, so you only need one unlocked for this to count. Apply it once and the trophy unlocks instantly. Style matters, even in the shadows.
Trophy: Fearless
Synchronize all viewpoints in Baghdad.
Type: Silver
Category: Misc
Unlock Details
Synchronize all Viewpoints in the Baghdad region. There are 21 total, spread across the map. Climb to the highest point at each Viewpoint and synchronize to clear the fog and unlock fast travel. Nothing tricky here, just classic Assassin’s Creed exploration. Sync them as you naturally come across them to save travel time later. One leap of faith at a time and this will be done before you know it.
Trophy: Gifted Escapist
Collapse 20 scaffolding structures.
Type: Silver
Category: Misc
Unlock Details
Collapse 20 scaffolding structures. Scaffolding is made of wooden platforms and supports attached to buildings throughout the city. Run past a scaffold and press Triangle to collapse it. You can do this naturally as you explore, since scaffolding is common in most districts. If you want to speed it up, collapse one, fast travel far away, then return and collapse the same scaffold again after it respawns. There is no danger or timing involved here. Keep knocking them down as you move through Baghdad and this will unlock before long.
Trophy: Hoarder
Save up 2007 dirhams.
Type: Bronze
Category: Misc
Unlock Details
Save up 2007 dirhams at the same time. This is about holding the money, not earning it over time. Dirhams come from selling loot to traders, completing contracts, and pickpocketing NPCs. Loot can be found in chests or taken directly from pockets, and upgrading pickpocket skills helps you pull higher-value items more often. Just avoid spending for a bit. Let the money stack until you hit 2007 dirhams in your inventory at once and the trophy unlocks. A little self-control goes a long way.
Trophy: Notorious
Stay at maximum notoriety for 10 minutes.
Type: Silver
Category: Misc
Unlock Details
Stay at maximum notoriety for ten straight minutes. You reach maximum notoriety at level four by killing guards or civilians until the city fully turns against you. Once you hit level four, stop escalating things. Do not tear down wanted posters, do not bribe Munadis, and do not kill the Shakiriyya that hunts you. Any of those will reset the timer. You can run around the city, stay on rooftops, or hide in a hiding spot. Just keep the notoriety active the entire time. All ten minutes must be done in one continuous stretch at maximum notoriety. Lay low, let the heat simmer, and once the time passes, the trophy unlocks.
Trophy: Patron of Industry
Pay merchant groups 5 times.
Type: Bronze
Category: Misc
Unlock Details
Pay merchant groups five times. Merchant groups can be found selling goods in the streets and will create noise to distract nearby guards. To pay them, you need a Merchant Favor Token. These tokens can be obtained by pickpocketing NPCs or by completing contracts from the Hidden Ones’ Bureau. Approach a merchant group, interact with them, and spend the token to trigger the distraction. You can pay the same group multiple times if you want. Do this five times total and the trophy unlocks. Sometimes commerce is the best cover.

Type: Bronze
Category: Misc

Become anonymous by removing wanted posters at max notoriety.
Type: Bronze
Category: Misc
Unlock Details
At maximum notoriety, become anonymous by tearing down wanted posters. First, raise your notoriety to level four by causing trouble until the city fully turns against you. Once you are at maximum notoriety, look for wanted posters with your image posted on city walls. Interact with them to tear them down.

It is a clean way to end the chaos you started.
Trophy: Potion Collector
Obtain 10 elixirs.
Type: Bronze
Category: Misc
Unlock Details
Obtain a total of ten elixirs. Elixirs act as health potions and are used automatically when your health is low by pressing Down. Basim can only carry three elixirs at a time, but this trophy tracks the total number obtained, not held. You will naturally reach ten very early just by playing. Elixirs can be bought from traders or found inside Tool Chests. Pick them up whenever you see them and this trophy will unlock without any effort.
Trophy: Self-Improvement
Unlock 23 skills.
Type: Silver
Category: Misc
Unlock Details
Unlock all 23 skills. Skills are split across three branches: Phantom, Trickster, and Hunter, and you need every one of them for this trophy. Skill points come from progressing the main story, completing faction contracts from the Hidden Ones’ Bureau, returning all Lost Books, and finishing every Tale of Baghdad. Not every contract rewards a skill point, but you still need to complete them to unlock the ones that do. There is no trick here, just full engagement with the game’s content. Play through the story, clear side quests, and collect everything tied to progression. By the time you have done all required activities, you will have enough points to unlock every skill and earn the trophy.
Trophy: Serving the Light
Reach the maximum Hidden One Rank.
Type: Bronze
Category: Misc

Trophy: Spread the News
Use the services of a Munadi 3 times.
Type: Bronze
Category: Misc
Unlock Details
Use the services of a Munadi three times. Munadis can be found around the city and are used to clear notoriety. When your notoriety is raised, approach a Munadi and pay a Power Favor Token. They will announce your forgiveness and immediately reset your notoriety back to normal. You can do this at any notoriety level, as long as it is not already clear. Power Favor Tokens can be obtained by pickpocketing NPCs or by completing contracts from the Hidden Ones’ Bureau. Use a Munadi three separate times and the trophy unlocks.
Trophy: Street Cleaner
Hide 5 bodies in bales of hay.
Type: Bronze
Category: Misc
Unlock Details
Hide five bodies in bales of hay. After killing someone, stand next to the body and press Triangle to pick it up. Carry it to a bale of hay or a hay cart and press Triangle again to stash the body. You do not need to use the same hay pile each time, and you can hide multiple bodies in one spot if you want. Hay carts also count. It does not even have to be guards, civilian bodies work too. Do this five times and the trophy unlocks. Quiet streets, clean work.
Trophy: Thick Skin
Fully upgrade an outfit.
Type: Bronze
Category: Misc
Unlock Details
Fully upgrade an outfit. You can only wear one outfit at a time, and upgrades apply to the entire outfit rather than individual pieces. Go to a Tailor once you have the outfit’s schematics and enough raw materials. A full upgrade requires steel ingots and leather for both upgrade tiers, with the second tier costing more than the first. You can get steel ingots and leather by buying them from traders, looting chests, pickpocketing NPCs, or completing contracts from the Hidden Ones’ Bureau. Pick one outfit you like, commit your resources to it, and once it reaches its final upgrade level, the trophy unlocks.
Trophy: Treasure Seeker
Open a token chest.
Type: Bronze
Category: Misc
Unlock Details

You only need to open a single token chest for the trophy. Spend the token, grab the loot, and it will unlock immediately.
Story
Trophy: Bal kullun mumkin
Discover Basim's past.
Type: Gold
Category: Story

Roadmap
Early Game
Assassin’s Creed Mirage starts off in Anbar and quickly transitions into Alamut, where you learn the basics of stealth, combat, and parkour. Take this time to get comfortable with movement and tools, especially pickpocketing and using cover, because the game rewards patience over rushing in.
Once you reach Baghdad, things start to open up, but do not feel pressured to do everything at once. Focus on the main investigations while grabbing viewpoints and experimenting with your tools along the way. A good early tip is to rely on stealth kills and avoid open combat whenever possible, it saves resources and keeps things much smoother.
There is one early missable to watch for during The Great Symposium, so stay alert when exploring restricted areas. If you ever feel unsure where to go or how to approach a mission, you can always Ask Gami for quick guidance without spoiling anything.
Mid Game
As you progress through the different districts of Baghdad, the investigation system becomes the core of the experience. You will be tracking multiple targets across Abbasiyah, Karkh, and Sharqiyah, so take your time connecting clues and planning your approach before jumping into each assassination.
This is where your tools and upgrades really start to matter. Invest in upgrading your favorite tools and experiment with different approaches like distractions, smoke bombs, or ranged takedowns to make encounters easier. A strong tip here is to upgrade throwing knives early, since they are one of the most reliable ways to handle enemies quietly.
You should also start making steady progress toward collectibles and side activities without going out of your way to grind. Pickpocket when you can, complete contracts naturally, and explore areas as they come up so you are not stuck doing everything at the end.
Late Game
As you approach the final investigations, the missions become more focused and guarded areas become tougher to navigate. This is a good time to make sure your gear, tools, and skills are upgraded so you are fully prepared for what is ahead.
Before committing to the final sequence, take a moment to wrap up any remaining side content or upgrades you care about. There is a clear point of no return, so being prepared here will make the ending much smoother and less stressful.
A helpful tip for late game is to slow down and observe enemy patterns before acting, especially in heavily guarded areas. If something feels overwhelming, step back, reassess, and approach it differently instead of forcing it.
Trophy Cleanup and Extra Tips
After completing the story, you will return to free roam and can clean up most remaining trophies and collectibles without any pressure. This includes finishing contracts, collecting artifacts, solving enigmas, and wrapping up any missed objectives.
Focus on what you have left and tackle things in small chunks rather than trying to do everything at once. Many trophies will already be close to completion just from natural play, so this phase is more about finishing touches than grinding from scratch.
If you are missing something specific or cannot figure out where to go next, this is where Gami really shines. Use Ask Gami to quickly get the answer you need and keep your progress moving without breaking your flow.

Puzzles & Codes
How To Solve The Observatory Puzzle In Assassin’s Creed Mirage
To solve the Observatory puzzle in Assassin’s Creed Mirage, head behind the building during the A Life’s Work quest and climb onto the movable shelving unit. Use a Throwing Knife through the window to destroy the wooden bar blocking the front door.
Once inside, collect the three missing pages around the Observatory area. One page is inside the building, another blows away and must be chased across nearby rooftops, and the final page is located near the top of the Observatory dome.
Return all three pages to Al-Mahani outside the Observatory to complete the quest and earn a Skill Point.
All Gear Chest Puzzle Solutions In Assassin’s Creed Mirage
Most Gear Chests in Assassin’s Creed Mirage are locked behind environmental puzzles, hidden keys, barred doors, or destructible walls. Common solutions include moving shelves, throwing Throwing Knives through windows to break door bars, and using explosive red jars to destroy fragile walls or floors.
Several chests also require story progression before they become accessible, especially late-game locations in Karkh. Using Eagle Vision regularly helps identify destructible objects, movable shelves, hidden windows, and keys much faster.
The hardest chest puzzles are usually found in Upper Harbor, The Four Markets, House of Wisdom, Dur-Kurigalzu, and Al-Jahiz’s House.
Locations & Collectibles
How To Unlock Every Hidden One Bureau In Assassin’s Creed Mirage
The Hidden One Bureaus in Assassin’s Creed Mirage unlock naturally as you progress through the main story and investigate targets across Baghdad. Each bureau acts as a Hidden Ones safehouse, fast travel point, contract hub, and story location.
Most bureaus are hidden beneath rooftops rather than accessible from street level. Use Enkidu to scout for the classic Assassin insignia and look for a green rooftop with an opening or skylight you can drop through.
There are four main bureaus in the game located in Harbiyah, Abbasiyah, Karkh, and the Round City. Once you enter a bureau for the first time, it permanently unlocks as a fast travel point.
All Tales Of Baghdad Locations And Rewards In Assassin’s Creed Mirage
There are 6 Tales of Baghdad side quests in Assassin’s Creed Mirage, spread across Harbiyah, Abbasiyah, Karkh, and the Wilderness. Completing them rewards Skill Points, Dirhams, and Power of Favor Tokens.
Most Tales of Baghdad are short narrative-focused quests involving investigations, rooftop traversal, combat encounters, or environmental puzzles. They are also required for full district completion and count toward the Explorer trophy.
None of the Tales are missable, so you can complete them after finishing the main story.
Where To Find Every Dye And Costume In Assassin’s Creed Mirage
In Assassin’s Creed Mirage, dyes are unlocked through story progression, eliminating Order Members, collecting Historical Sites, completing high-difficulty challenges, or purchasing them from merchants across Baghdad.
Costumes work differently from outfits. They completely change Basim’s appearance while keeping the stats of your currently equipped gear. Most costumes are earned through collectibles, major side activities, or endgame challenges.
Some exclusive dyes and costumes are also tied to Full Synchronization, Permadeath Mode, Twitch drops, Ubisoft Connect rewards, and DLC content.
All Lost Books Locations In Recommended Order In Assassin’s Creed Mirage
There are 7 Lost Books in Assassin’s Creed Mirage, including one hidden secret book unlocked after finding the others. Returning every book to Al-Jahiz at the House of Wisdom unlocks the Scholar trophy and cosmetic rewards.
The best way to collect them is by district progression. Start with the easier books in Harbiyah and Abbasiyah, move into Karkh and the Wilderness, then save the Palace of the Green Dome book for late game story progression.
Most Lost Books require small environmental puzzles involving barred doors, movable shelves, oil jars, or rooftop entrances.
Systems & Mechanics
How Pickpocketing Works And How To Steal Easier In Assassin’s Creed Mirage
Pickpocketing in Assassin’s Creed Mirage uses a quick-time event where you press the steal button a second time while a shrinking diamond lands inside the blue success zone. Successful steals reward Dirhams, trinkets, keys, or valuable Favor Tokens.
The easiest way to steal without failing is enabling Guaranteed Pickpocket in the gameplay settings. You can also unlock the Pickpocket Master skill to widen the timing window or use Sleep Darts to loot unconscious targets without triggering the mini-game.
Using Eagle Vision helps identify valuable targets quickly since rare loot carriers glow gold instead of white.
How Investigation Missions Work In Assassin’s Creed Mirage
The investigation system in Assassin’s Creed Mirage works like a detective board instead of a traditional linear quest log. You gather clues through exploration, eavesdropping, pickpocketing, contracts, and stealth missions to slowly uncover the identities and locations of Order of the Ancients targets.
Every clue adds new information to the Investigation Board, unlocking additional leads, side objectives, and eventually the final assassination mission. Most major targets remain hidden behind question marks until enough evidence is collected.
If you ever get stuck, open the Investigation Board and hover over locked nodes to see exactly which clue or activity you still need to complete.
Best Way To Earn Tokens Fast In Assassin’s Creed Mirage
The fastest way to earn Merchant Tokens, Scholar Tokens, and Power Tokens in Assassin’s Creed Mirage is enabling Guaranteed Pickpocketing and farming crowded market districts like Karkh Bazaar or the Round City.
Turn on Eagle Vision to identify NPCs carrying glowing gold pouches, then rapidly steal from targets while moving through crowds. You can also complete Bureau Contracts for guaranteed token rewards and bonus payouts.
If NPCs stop spawning, changing the game difficulty and switching it back instantly refreshes the crowd and creates new pickpocket targets.
