Al-Ghul, a formidable member of the Order that you must eliminate, presents a significant challenge in Assassin’s Creed Mirage. In this guide, we’ll provide you with the most accessible method to defeat Al-Ghul, focusing on the ‘crate merchant’ mission.
The ‘Crate Merchant’ Mission
The Initial Approach
As you prepare to face Al-Ghul, remember that you have multiple options for dealing with this Order member. In this guide, we’ll concentrate on the ‘crate merchant’ mission, offering a strategic approach to your encounter.
Utilize Your Eagle for Surveillance
Begin by using your eagle as a surveillance instrument to scan the area and identify potential openings. You’ll notice a hidden passage on the right side of the building and a climbable tree on the left, granting access to the Caravanserai.
The Sad Merchant and the Crate
Your mission begins by approaching the main entrance and engaging with the sad merchant. He will seek your assistance in retrieving a specific crate from inside the Caravanserai. Accept the mission and proceed.
Stealthy Entry and Crate Retrieval
- Head to the left side of the building and climb the leaning tree. Hang on to the walls until you reach the corner of the left-side wall. Jump over the wall and descend the stairs with caution, ensuring you don’t alert any guards.
- Activate your eagle vision (V) to locate the crate guarded by two nearby guards, with another pair patrolling on the right. Wait for the right moment to assassinate the guards on the left side. You can use a whistle or the X button to lure one guard away and then eliminate them quietly.
Moving Inside the Restricted Area
With the crate in your possession, toggle your eagle vision (V) while moving within the restricted area to anticipate the guards’ movements. Proceed to the gazebo at the center of the Caravanserai and cross to the other side.
Delivering the Crate
- Approach the room near the corner of the main entrance to find a barred door. Remove the bar, allowing you to deliver the crate to the merchant. After some dialogue, you’ll gain access to the area without the guards turning hostile.
- Join the merchant group and wait until Basim hints at the “right opportunity” to attack. Utilize the stairs on the left side before the guards reach the merchants. Assassinate any guards blocking your path, then climb the ladder to the rooftop.
The Climactic Assassination
An assassination prompt will appear on the ledge, initiating a crucial cutscene. Following this, you’ll receive a tutorial on using your assassin’s focus. Once completed, witness another pivotal cutscene, marking the successful conclusion of your first main quest.
With Al-Ghul defeated and the ‘Crate Merchant’ mission accomplished, you’re now on your way to unraveling the secrets of Assassin’s Creed Mirage.
