Assassin’s Creed Mirage: Cheats and Secrets

by Fernando Diaz / Articles, Cheats / 05 Jan 2022

All Lost Book Locations

The Basics:

Books to Find: 7 in total.

Location: Mainly in Baghdad. Good news is -> you won’t have to stray too far from the city for most of them.

Where to Drop ‘Em Off: When you’ve got some books to hand over, make your way to the House of Wisdom in Abbasiyah. There, you’ll find Al-Jahiz – he’s the main guy collecting these.

Rewards? Here’s the Breakdown:

Snagging a book earns you a skill point. A nice little boost for your gameplay!

Hand over a book to Al-Jahiz and score a Scholar Token. These are handy for persuading musicians and setting up distractions.

Collect all seven, and you’ll be rocking the Scholar Costume. It’s all about the style, but your stats won’t change.

Let’s Dive In: Book Locations!

In Harbiyah:

“Al-Tabari: Tafsir of Al-Tabar”

Location: Nestorian Monastery in the northeast. Check out the west side and you’ll find a path leading underground.

“Kalila Wa-Dimma”

Location: Great Mosque, which is down in the southwest. Nearby, there’s a two-story building with a window calling your name.

Over in Abbasiyah:

“Al-Kwarizmi: Al-Jabr”

Spot: A house across the river from the House of Wisdom. There’s a blocked doorway inside and a bookshelf that’s hiding something good.

Karkh Insights:

“The Banu Musa: The Book of Ingenious Devices”

Head to the Harbor Camp in the northeast. It’s a restricted zone, but if you’re sneaky and use the rooftops, you can bypass the guards and find a door with a secret latch.

Round City:

“Al-Sikkit: Diwan Abu Nu’as”

Aim for the Palace of the Green Dome right in the heart of the Round City. You’ll access this zone later in the game. Once inside, there’s a library puzzle and a valuable book prize.

Wilderness Stash:

“Suleiman al-Tajir: Accounts of China and India”

Location Breakdown: Head straight for the Tuesday Market. Inside, you’ll spot a guard house. Don’t let it intimidate you. Just make your way upstairs (there’s a handy ladder inside to help you out; that’s where you’ll find this gem.).

The “Secret” Lost Book:

“Kitab Al-Zahif”

The Scoop: Okay, this one’s kinda special. It’s unmarked, so it won’t tick off any region completion boxes. But, if you wanna truly wrap up Al-Jahiz’s quest, you’re gonna need this. To find it, make your way to the Historical Site: Seleucia-on-the-Tigris. You’ll have to venture to the ruins chilling in the swampy area down at the southeast edge of your map. Now, there’s a floor in these ruins that’s just begging to be busted. Climb up, grab one of those red explosive vases, and let it fly at that floor. Voila! Your hidden book awaits.

Wrapping Things Up with Al-Jahiz:

Once you’re loaded up with all the books, head back to Al-Jahiz at the House of Wisdom in the Abbasiyah district. Hand them all over, and bask in the glory as you unlock the Scholar trophy/achievement. Oh, and that satisfying feeling of a job well done…
