Assassin’s Creed Mirage brings forth an intriguing side quest involving the collection of enigmatic Mysterious Shards scattered across Baghdad. These shards serve a dual purpose: not only are they vital for progressing in the quest, but they also unlock unique gear. If you’re struggling to locate these Mysterious Shards, fret not – this article has you covered.
Assassin’s Creed Mirage Mysterious Shards
Mysterious Shards hold a special place in Assassin’s Creed Mirage. You’ll first encounter them after successfully assassinating your initial high-ranking Order member. Nehal, your companion, will guide you to a hidden spot in the Northern Oasis, where these shards can be exchanged for potent loot.
The significance of Mysterious Shards in obtaining unique gear might not be immediately apparent, leaving some players perplexed about their purpose and how to acquire them.
For those struggling to find Mysterious Shards, here’s a comprehensive guide on how to obtain them in Assassin’s Creed Mirage.
How to Get Mysterious Shards
While you can technically begin your quest for Mysterious Shards once Basim arrives in the Wilderness, it’s advisable to progress further in the story before attempting to locate these collectibles.
- Specifically, working through the “My Old Home” story quest is recommended.
- Completing this mission triggers the appearance of Mysterious Shards on your map and navigation bar, making it considerably easier to find them.
- This quest becomes available after dispatching your first Order member.
Once you’ve addressed “My Old Home,” keep an eye on your navigation bar as you explore the diverse territories in Assassin’s Creed Mirage. Eventually, you’ll notice the Mysterious Shard symbol appearing on the bar.
- Eliminate the elite Order member indicated by this symbol to claim the collectible.
- Notably, there are two such Order members in each of the game’s five territories, so use the in-game collectible lists to keep track of your remaining targets.
Now, let’s delve into the locations of Mysterious Shards:
Mysterious Shards Location
10 Mysterious Shards are dispersed across Baghdad and its neighboring landscapes, yet unlike Gear Chests, Lost Books, and Enigmas, you won’t find maps available for purchase from the Cartographer NPC that reveal their whereabouts.
Below, we’ve provided an overview of the typical locations of these enigmatic Mysterious Shards in Assassin’s Creed Mirage:
- In front of Damascus Gate Prison in Harbiyah.
- Between the Upper Harbor and Khurasan Gate Guardhouse in Harbiyah.
- Near the stable by The Bazaar in Karkh, often patrolling near the House of Poulterers.
- In front of the Harbor Camp in Karkh, moving towards the Great Garrison.
- Patrolling the Suburb of Kahtabah in Abbasiyah, near The Four Markets.
- Near the Scholar’s Estate in Abbasiyah, often near the Tax Collector’s Mansion.
- In the Administrative District by the Round City, close to the Soap Bar District.
- South of the Harem in the Round City, not far from Basra Gate, patrolling near the Qadi District Office.
- Outside of Anbar. Continue out of town from the stables and take a right.

How to Use the Shards
So, what exactly can you do with these enigmatic Mysterious Shards once you’ve gathered them?
- Head to the secret chamber located in the Northern Oasis to exchange your Mysterious Shards for Isu-themed loot.
- In the central chamber, you’ll find three smaller chambers, each protected by forcefields.
- Examine the plinths in front of these forcefields – they display the number of pips, indicating how many shards you need to spend for each item.
What’s worth noting is that all these rewards are fully upgraded, boasting top-tier stats and unique perks:
- Two Mysterious Shards: The Samsaama, a dagger with +27 damage and +27 defense damage. It also comes with the Life Steal perk, healing 10% of your HP on every fifth hit.
- Three Mysterious Shards: Shamshir-e Zomorrodnegar, a sword with +46 damage and +78 defense damage. It features the Blood Price perk, which enhances your damage by 50% but reduces your health by 50%.
- Five Mysterious Shards: Milad’s Outfit, a complete armor set. It boasts the Forgotten Terror perk, causing successful aerial assassinations to trigger a flash of lightning that disorients bystanders within a 15-meter radius.
