Checklists

Enigmas are collectible notes scattered through urban areas that offer a puzzling hint to another location.

Delight by the Dome Enigma

Location: Abbasiyah – Suburb of Kahtabah – Mosque
Reward: Mysterious Talisman

The Delight by the Dome Enigma is located at the Mosque Viewpoint in the Suburb of Kahtabah, which sits closest to the outer wall of the Round City.

The mosque itself is a large blue-and-white landmark. To find the Enigma scroll, stand on the street just north of the mosque and climb the steps toward the building, passing a few nearby archways; check beneath the left archway for small shelves, where the Delight by the Dome scroll is placed.

Delight by the Dome Enigma Hints

Delight by the Dome Solution

The image clue points to the Dome of the Ass—yes, it’s a donkey joke, and it’s also referring to another Viewpoint. This Dome of the Ass is in the southern part of Abbasiyah, not far from the outer wall, in the Haylanah district.

Once you arrive, go to the northeastern portion of the dome’s gardens and look for a pond of water. The Enigma solution is hidden on a pile of dirt in that pond.

A Challenge Enigma

Location: Abbasiyah – Yasiriyah
Reward: Outfit Dye – Black Rostam Outfit

The A Challenge Enigma is found in the Yasiriyah district of Abbasiyah. Look for a wooden bridge over the river southwest of the House of Wisdom, then head a little farther south to spot a small water fountain at the base of a palm tree.

From there, scan southwest until you see a larger tree placed inside a square patch of grass. To the southeast of that grassy planter, you’ll find a wooden balcony on the second story of a nearby building—climb up to reach a chair and a side table, where the A Challenge Enigma scroll sits on top.

A Challenge Enigma Hints

A Challenge Solution

The final target for the A Challenge Enigma is a water mill building. Start by visiting the Observatory Viewpoint in Abbasiya’s Yasiriyah district, then look just east of the observatory: you should see three big water wheel structures that are also visible on the map.

Choose the wheel closest to the observatory and head to the lower rooftop behind it. Behind the wheel, there’s a window you can look through; on the left side is a barred window, and you’ll need to use a Throwing Knife to break it so you can move around the building and enter.

Once inside, go down to the ground level. You’ll find a brick square on the floor with the Enigma’s solution inside.

The Gift Enigma

Location: Abbasiyah – Yasiriyah
Reward: Knight’s Talisman

The Gift Enigma can be found in the Yasiriyah district of the Abbasiya region. More specifically, it’s southeast of Four Markets Gate and just east of a Trader and Musician.

Use Enkidu to help locate it: look for a rooftop pergola with a slight L-shaped setup. The Gift Enigma rests on a small side table there.

The Gift Enigma Hints

The Gift Solution

The Gift’s message doesn’t point to Four Markets Gate. Instead, it refers to the Pomegranate Gate along the southern edge of the Karkh region. Just north of this area, you’ll find a river that runs from east to west—follow it heading west.

After traveling along the river for a while, you’ll reach a wooden bridge outside the city where guards are posted. It’s located north of the Oasis Viewpoint, and you can pass by without drawing attention as long as you leave the guards alone.

To recover The Gift Enigma treasure, check the southern bank near the bridge. The Enigma solution is hidden in the grass.

Find What I Stole! Enigma

Location: Harbiyah – Shari’
Reward: Outfit Dye – Black Zanj Uprising

The Find What I Stole Enigma is in the Shari’ district of Harbiyah, just southwest of Qutrabbul Gate—the gate that leads out toward the northern Wilderness.

To locate the Enigma, travel to the river south of Shari’ and follow it northwest until you reach the archway at the city’s outer wall. Then search among the trees along the northern bank for a man-made shelter tucked into the corner, with the Enigma sitting on the ground.

Find What I Stole! Enigma Hints

Find What I Stole! Solution

The clue for Find What I Stole points to the Soap Boiler’s District. That district is a building complex in the southern corner of the Quadrangle of the Persians in Harbiyah—but the clue isn’t about the main soap-making complex. Instead, it’s about the soap market stalls on the southwest side of it.

From the market stalls, look for two large red-and-blue awnings near the gate that heads south into Abbasiya. Under those awnings is a wooden gazebo, and the Enigma solution is inside.

Left Behind Enigma

Location: Harbiyah – Shari’
Reward: Horned Lion Talisman

Finding the Left Behind Enigma in Assassin’s Creed Mirage can take a little work. Begin at the Shari’ district in Harbiyah, where a landmark called the Metal Factory is located just east of Qutrabul Gate that leads into the Wilderness.

From the Metal Factory, continue south, then move west of the Viewpoint. You’ll come to a building with a large rug and two straw beds on its roof.

On the upper level, there are two barred doors—one on the west side and one on the east side. Check the east door to find scaffolding; Basim can tear it down, opening a break in the wall. Jump through, then check the body in the back-left corner to find the Left Behind Enigma scroll beside a dead man.

Left Behind Enigma Hints

Left Behind Solution

The Left Behind clue drawing refers to an area in the Abandoned Village shown on the map’s western-most river. It’s almost directly west of the Viewpoint above the Observatory in Abbasiyah.

Go to the village’s coast and find the southernmost edge. Look for an L-shaped dock; that building is the one you want. Search among the fish racks where the cat is to locate the reward buried in the sand.

A Holy Hoard Enigma

Location: Harbiyah – Khuld
Reward: Outfit Dye – Tan Abbasid Knight

A Holy Hoard Enigma is located in the southern corner of the Khuld district in Harbiyah, which is west of Princes’ Gate. Princes’ Gate leads into the Karkh region of Assassin’s Creed Mirage.

Look for a building in that corner you can enter. The A Holy Hoard Enigma scroll is inside on a tiny wall shelf, positioned between two ornaments.

A Holy Hoard Enigma Hints

A Holy Hoard Solution

The solution for A Holy Hoard is at the Nestorian Monastery in the Zubaydiyah district, which is the northernmost district in Harbiyah. A Viewpoint sits on top of it.

At the northeastern edge of the monastery, you’ll spot a tree near the riverbank—visible on the map and easy to target.

Go to the base of that tree to find two boats. The reward is between them.

Solve This Problem Quickly For Me Enigma

Location: Karkh – Fiefel Rayasanah – Officers’ Club
Reward: Gold Hidden One (Outfit Dye)

Solve This Problem Quickly For Me Enigma is located at the Officers’ Club building in Karkh. The building is near the northern boundary of the Fiefel Rayasanah sector.

This Enigma is the only one placed in a Restricted Area, so plan carefully and consider sneaking rather than rushing in.

You can find the Solve This Problem Quickly For Me clue on a bench beneath a vine-covered pergola at the building’s northern corner. A guard watches over this spot, so approach with caution.

From there, climb up from the street and take the clue from one of the wooden benches. You don’t have to eliminate the guard, but doing so may help prevent you from being noticed.

Solve This Problem Quickly For Me Enigma Hints

Solve This Problem Quickly For Me Enigma Solution

The hint for this Enigma refers to Jarjaraya, a town located southeast of the city. Just northwest of it is a small village that’s burned down and razed, leaving it black—making it easier to spot with Enkidu.

Check behind the building with the granary tower. There’s a glowing investigate point, and interacting with it grants you an Outfit Dye.

Just Rewards Enigma

Location: Round City – Commanders’ District – Basra Gate
Reward: Black Abbasid Knight (Outfit Dye)

Just Rewards Enigma can be found in an outdoor office directly above Basra Gate in Assassin’s Creed Mirage. Basra Gate is the southeastern gate of the Round City.

The Enigma is inside a restricted area, but you can reach it by climbing using handholds just southwest of the office. Once you’re up top, the scroll is on a desk under a wide bulletin board.

Just Rewards Enigma Hints

Just Rewards Solution

The Just Rewards Enigma image shows the Shurta Headquarters, a restricted area north of Basra Gate.

When you reach the Shurta Headquarters building, search the southern side for an archway leading into the workshop area. The treasure from Just Rewards is on the left, placed on top of wooden cages covered with red fabric.

A Gift For You Enigma

Location: Round City – Residential District
Reward: Bedouin Talisman

A Gift For You Enigma is located in the Round City’s Residential District.

On the map, find the road that heads northeast toward the Palace of the Green Dome. On that street you’ll spot a blacksmith; follow the smaller but still paved road continuing northeast until you reach a Historical Site—the Palace of the Green Dome.

To get inside, climb up the building’s northeastern face where the two archways are, then step onto the balcony above. Look through a window—remove a Throwing Knife and use it to unbar the window on the opposite wall. If you’re short on Throwing Knives, you can climb to the roof to find some.

Enter through the newly unbarred window. The A Gift For You Enigma scroll is on the window couch beside a pile of cushions.

A Gift For You Enigma Hints

A Gift For You Enigma Solution

The note points to the Mazalim Courts. These are in the northern part of the Round City, inside the Administrative District, not far east of the district’s lone Viewpoint.

Enter through the western gate and you’ll find a dry water fountain directly ahead. The Enigma treasure is in a dirt pile inside the fountain’s basin.

Surrender Enigma

Location: Wilderness – Wilderness North
Reward: Rebel’s Talisman

Surrender is very likely the first Enigma you’ll run into while exploring the Wilderness in Assassin’s Creed Mirage.

In Wilderness North, just outside the city walls, the Enigma scrolls are located in the Tomb of Zubaydah graveyard. This graveyard sits close to the dividing line between the Harbiyah and Abbasiyah regions.

Check the northern end of the graveyard to find it on a tomb featuring a basket and a small lantern.

Surrender Enigma Hints

Surrender Enigma Solution

The Surrender note refers to the Northern Oasis and the town of Ukbara, in the northernmost part of the map. Ukbara is partially sunk into the river.

When you reach Ukbara, find the domed building at the northern edge of the river. Then check the ground on its western side to uncover the Surrender Enigma treasure.

Joy Beneath Weeping Palms Enigma

Location: Wilderness – Wilderness South
Reward: Outfit Dye – Green Hidden One

Joy Beneath Weeping Palms Enigma is in the Wilderness South area, but it’s extremely close to the Tabik sector of the Karkh region.

Specifically, the Enigma is at the graveyard near the Gate of the Mills, where the “Death and Afterlife” Historical Site is located.

At the graveyard, the Enigma is at the base of a tombstone that has an arched structure wrapped around it.

Joy Beneath Weeping Palms Enigma Hints

Joy Beneath Weeping Palms Solution

The map for Joy Beneath Weeping Palms points to a grove of palm trees south of where you found the original clue drawing.

At the southern end of the grove, look for a cluster of smaller palms where the river splits the area into three separate sections.

Head into the southernmost section and check the eastern side. You’ll find a palm tree with a reddish-brown blanket underneath it; beside that is a rock pile, where the Joy Beneath Weeping Palms treasure is buried.

Reap From the Ruins Enigma

Location: Wilderness – Wilderness South – Jarjaraya
Reward: Eldritch Talisman

Reap From the Ruins Enigma is located in Jarjaraya, along the coast of the Wilderness South sector in Assassin’s Creed Mirage.

Go into the mansion in the southern corner of town, not far from a wooden bridge. On the top floor, a dead man stands near the Reap From the Ruins Enigma scroll.

Reap From the Ruins Enigma Hints

Reap From the Ruins Solution

The ruins shown in the clue picture are on the map’s easternmost peninsula, where the swamp-like area is. Inside the ruins sits a Historical Site in the center called Seleucia-on-the-Tigris.

Look just east of those ruins for a dead tree with a branching shape that resembles a fork. The Reap From the Ruins treasure is at the base of that tree, but be careful—there’s a snake guarding it.
