Where to find mysterious shards in Assassin’s Creed Mirage?
There are 10 mysterious shards scattered across Baghdad and the surrounding landscape. However, unlike Equipment Chests, Lost booksAnd Riddlesyou cannot purchase maps showing their locations from the Cartographer NPC. Below you will see a map showing the general locations of Mysterious Shards Assassin’s Creed Mirage:
Here are some tips to help you find these items:
- Mysterious shards are carried by followers of the Order of the Ancients. These followers tend to patrol around a small area (marked on the map above), and are sometimes accompanied by bodyguards.
- We recommend that you ping the map via Eagle visionwhich is done by pressing the “V” key on the computer or the left side of the D-pad on the console. The radius is so large that you can see shard bearers nearby. Alternatively, you can use your eagle, Enkidu, to scout from above.

- Once you spot an Order member, Basim will notice that the person looks suspicious. If you are spotted, they will become hostile and you will have to fight them.
- If you approach carefully from behind, you can assassinate your target, along with their bodyguards. It’s also possible to pickpocket the target to steal the shard, but there’s a good chance you’ll be spotted once the NPC quickly turns around. If you successfully stole the shard and don’t want to fight back, you can simply run away and break line of sight.
Once you’ve collected enough shards, you can exchange them for rewards in the secret room in the Northern Oasis.
