Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, mysterious shards. I wanna get close to you.
What good would an open-world game be without collectibles?
If you’re looking to search for some treasure Indiana Jones style, the Assassin’s Creed Mirage Mysterious Shards might scratch that treasure-hunting itch.
Finding all 10 Mysterious Shards in AC Mirage will let you open up three secret chests in the Northern Oasis, as part of The Calling.
Listen to our new Gaming podcast, One More Life – the next episode is about AC Mirage!
Open up the three chests and you’ll get your hands on the Samsaama Dagger, Shamshir-e Zomorrodnegar Sword and Milad’s Outfit Armour – the Legendary Isu weapons and armour set.
You will definitely want to grab these items as soon as possible, which you can start doing as soon as you find the Oasis during Nehal’s Calling Case, after completing My Old Home upon bagging your first major assassination.
Read on to find out how to find Mysterious Shards in AC Mirage and where the locations of all 10 are.
How to find Mysterious Shards in AC Mirage
You’ll find Mysterious Shards in Assassin’s Creed Mirage on Tha’abeen members – NPCs that patrol the streets wearing black robes.
To collect a Mysterious Shard off of one of these Tha’abeen members, you can either pickpocket them or kill them and collect the item from their corpse. Lovely.
A golden icon will appear over the heads of the NPCs carrying the Mysterious Shards when you get close enough to them (after you complete My Old Home), and there are two in each of the five areas – Wilderness, Round City, Karkh, Abbasiyah and Harbiyah.
We recommend you use Eagle Sense/Vision and Basim’s eagle, Enkidu, to find them patrolling urban areas in each district.
All Mysterious Shard locations in AC Mirage
The best way to find all 10 Mysterious Shard locations in AC Mirage is to check out the incredibly helpful video from YouTuber ConCon above. Use this short but sweet upload to find the rough locations of each Mysterious Shard (and see where to use them).
If you’d rather have a written list, though, we’ve got you covered! Just remember that the Tha’abeen don’t stick to the same spot, and instead walk a pre-determined path – so you might not find them in the exact same spots, but nearby.
Here’s how to find all Mysterious Shard locations in AC Mirage:
- Abbasiyah | Around the Scriptorium in the north-west of the district
- Abbasiyah | Around the east of the district/crossing over into the Karkh border
- Harbiyah | Around the south-west of Damascus Gate/Quadrangle of the Persians
- Harbiyah | Around the east of Upper Harbor, in the Khuld area
- Karkh | Around the north-east of the district
