In every region of Baghdad in Assassin’s Creed: Mirage, there will be a collectible labeled on the map called “Tales of Baghdad.” These vaguely named collectibles can be hard to find, and there is no real solution given to Basim as he traverses the city and becomes a Hidden One. Therefore, players have to seek answers independently to figure out how to solve these puzzles.
In Assassin’s Creed: Mirage, players will be tasked with finding and solving many different types of puzzles, but the Tales of Baghdad quests are a special type of puzzle. They allow Basim to interact with the people of Baghdad by helping them with something they need, usually finding it for them. Each one is slightly different, but they all have the same basic problem-solving process.
Tales of Baghdad Quest Solutions In Assassin’s Creed: Mirage
Using Enkidu’s Eye or finding a close Synchronization Point is the best way to see each quest’s location. There is one in each section of the Assassin’s Creed: Mirage’s map, although they will not always pop up when players activate the first Synchronization Point in a given region. Generally, activating the closest Synchronization Point will do the trick; if not, Enkidu can find it while surveying an area. The icon will look like the golden flower symbol that the game uses as a save icon.
The Tales of Baghdad Quests all have rewards of either skill points or Dirham, the game’s currency that can be used to purchase upgrades for weapons or outfits in Assassin’s Creed: Mirage, making them worth the effort to help someone out.
Once the location has been found, Basim can travel there and activate the quest. There will not be a given or automatic quest activation for the Tales of Baghdad. Instead, look around for someone Basim can talk to, usually with a conversation icon above their head. They will be close to the quest marker but not necessarily right on top of it. Once Basim has spoken with them, they will tell him what they are looking for or need him to do, and he can then choose to do so.
Once the conversation is over, use Basim’s Eagle Sense to find your objective. These quest objects usually glow orange, and the Tales of Baghdad quests often require players to look for particular things, such as a gravestone or pages of a book. When you are done, if the quest does not automatically update, return to the quest giver and speak to them to finish it. Although they all require Basim to find slightly different things, it will be the same basic process to solve each Tales of Baghdad puzzle in Assassin’s Creed: Mirage.

Summary: The next chapter of the Assassin’s Creed franchise arrives with Assassin’s Creed Mirage. Players will take on the mantle of Basim Ibn Ishaq as they embark on an adventure in Bagdhad, with the core plot set 20 years before Valhalla. Mirage will see the return of elements of the series’ foundations and some of the more beloved features from games such as Origins and Odyssey, with the return of the eagle mechanic. Assassin’s Creed Mirage will also be the first game in the franchise that will tell its story entirely in the world of the Assassin, meaning no future modern elements will be in this entry. Additionally, Mirage will be a core single-player experience with a reduced scope, focusing heavily on narrative and gameplay instead of a massive open world.
