"Assassin's Creed Mirage: Epic Showdown Eliminate Al-Ghul! " #assassinscreedmirage Part 15/24

Assassin's Creed Mirage is a 2023 action-adventure game developed by Ubisoft Bordeaux and published by Ubisoft. The game is the thirteenth major installment in the Assassin's Creed series and the successor to 2020's Assassin's Creed Valhalla. While its historical timeframe precedes that of Valhalla, its modern-day framing story succeeds Valhalla's own. Set in 9th-century Baghdad during the Islamic Golden Age—in particular during the Anarchy at Samarra—the story follows Basim Ibn Ishaq (a character first introduced in Valhalla), a street thief who joins the Hidden Ones to fight for peace and liberty, against the Order of the Ancients,[b] who desire peace through control. The main narrative focuses on Basim's internal struggle between his duties as a Hidden One and his desire to uncover his mysterious past. Originally envisioned as an expansion for Valhalla, the game was reworked into a standalone title to expand its scope. The design philosophy behind Mirage—the first game to be developed primarily by Ubisoft Bordeaux, previously just a support studio—was to return to the series' roots by focusing on stealth, parkour, and assassinations over the role-playing elements featured heavily in recent installments. As a result, the game is much smaller in scale than its predecessors and combines elements introduced in them with those found in earlier installments of the franchise. Mirage was released for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S on October 5, 2023. A mobile version is also scheduled to release for iOS on iPhone 15 Pro models in early 2024. Upon release, the game received generally positive reviews from critics, who praised its world design, focus on stealth and return to form of the franchise, though some criticized the characters and the story's reliance on previous installments in the series. Follow Roshan and she’ll lead you to a set of horses. Hop on the horse she doesn’t mount and continue following her. Roshan will speak to you about the contract and give you some words of encouragement and she leads you to the assassination contract’s destination. When you arrive, dismount the horse and follow her up the nearby hill. She’ll brief you on Al Ghul and suggest, once again, that there are multiple routes to our target. When she’s done, we’re free to take down Al Ghul however we wish. Before we do anything, summon Enkidu to scope out the area. A major thing you’ll notice while soaring up here is a hidden entrance on the north wall. We can dive beneath the river here, pass through a hole beneath the wall and emerge inside the Caravanserai. That’ll be our main way inside. Dispatch Enkidu and we’ll be ready to head in. Our first job is to lure Al Ghul out. There are two methods of accomplishing this throughout the Caravanserai: using the merchant next to the entrance gate as a distraction or helping the workers inside the Caravanserai to diminish his workforce. Both will eventually converge once we lure out Al Ghul. Let’s run through both methods right now. It’s time to dish up some sweet, sweet revenge. Both opportunities will now have you positioned in the centre of the Caravanserai. Regardless, we’re going to head outside for a second. Use the hidden entrance we found on the Caravanserai’s north wall to exit the plaza, then head around to the back entrance of the Caravanserai. It’s on the west wall of the plaza, as shown on the map above. When you’re here, climb the boxes and other scaffolding found next to where the guards are positioned, being careful not to catch their attention. You’ll find yourself on some beams jutting out from the back of the fort’s walls. Cross them to the right, make your way around to the perimeter walls, and then take out the guard attacking the nearby wooden post. Climb the ladder to his left, being careful not to walk into the line of the sight of the guard above. Assassinate the guard when he’s not looking. Finally, align yourself on the perch overlooking Al Ghul’s balcony. When you’re in position, it’s time to strike. Air assassinate Al Ghul to claim your target. After watching Basim’s final conversation with Al Ghul, we’ll need to deal with the two soldiers who witnessed the murder. We’ll earn a new ability here: Assassin’s Focus. By pressing R3, we can chain together a sequence of assassinations quickly. When ready, press R3. You’ll be able to take down both guards in front of you in seconds by aiming the cursor at them and pressing R1 / RB, then pressing X / A to execute the attack. Take both guards down and you’ll cue a cutscene, ending the mission.
