Assassin’s Creed Mirage Trophy and Achievement Guide

This time round, the Assassin’s Creed series is appealing to our nostalgia, reverting back to those raw and visceral instincts we experienced in the first AC adventure. The newly bustling streets and sun-soaked rooftops of ninth-century Baghdad are your playground, a colorful and vibrant world filled with infinite threats.

As Basim—a wayward street urchin with waking dreams of the fearsome jinni that haunts this place—you must go on a quest that is as much about uncovering your fate as it is documenting the ancient history of this city. Similar to the original Assassin’s Creed game, the story is spread out across a finite but rich map. Gone are the sprawling landscapes of past entries as Assassin’s Creed Mirage offers a much more linear, focused narrative that left me thinking about that platinum trophy prospectively dangled in front of my face.

Simplicity and a return to the core mechanics that made us love the series in the first place are at the heart of the design behind Mirage. For every leap of faith, stealth takedown, and triumphant perspective, you’ll take away a further understanding of the stealthy mysteries that lie within Baghdad’s darkness and another trophy to add to your collection, of course.

An Introduction to AC Mirage Trophies

The trophy difficulty in Mirage is a friendly 3/10. So, whether you’re a veteran assassin or a newcomer to the series, you’ll find the path to platinum to be an exhilarating yet achievable feat. With an estimated 20 to 30 hours of gameplay needed to snatch that platinum, you’re in for a ride that’s long enough to satisfy your gaming cravings, yet short enough to keep the adrenaline pumping from start to finish.

And guess what? The offline trophies are where the real action is at, boasting a collection of 51 shiny accolades waiting to be unlocked. But there are no online trophies to fret over. So, you can take a breather and focus on honing your skills in the single-player campaigns. Although, there’s a tad bit of a challenge with a single missable trophy (You Snooze, You Lose). But no worries, with a little attention, you’ll achieve that one too.

Mirage is all about giving you a fair playground. The difficulty level doesn’t affect trophy attainment, which means you can slide through the narrative on Easy mode if that’s your jam, or ramp up the challenge if you’re in for a gritty play. Moreover, you only need a single playthrough to grab all the trophies.

There is another thing to keep in mind the PS4/PS5 Crossbuy is a go. Plus, the Free-Roam and Level Select features stick around after the story concludes, so you can trot back to any missed collectibles or just soak up the scenic beauty of Baghdad post-narrative. And, a pro tip before we venture forth: sync or save all those viewpoints as you traverse through the storyline. It’s a time-saver that’ll unveil the map, making your trophy hunting spree a breeze.

1. Focus on the Story First and Sync All Viewpoints

First things first, concentrate on the plot. The story isn’t just a thrilling ride through ninth-century Baghdad; it’s your golden ticket to unlocking collectibles and other goodies. And, while you’re at it, sync all those viewpoints. They’ll unfog the map, reveal collectibles, and become your fast-travel best friends.

2. Get the Collectibles

3. Compete the Contracts from the Board to Upgrade Gear and Unlock the Skills

4. Miscellaneous Trophies

By now, you’ve probably got a majority of the trophies. But, there might be a few elusive ones still playing hard to get. Again enter the bustling city, finish the remaining challenges, and claim every last trophy.

Tips and Tricks

Now that we’ve got a solid game plan with our trophy roadmap, let’s sprinkle in some sage advice to smooth out those rough edges on our journey.

1. Stealth is King: In the heart of Baghdad, where danger lurks around every corner, being a shadow can be your best choice. Mirage places a hefty emphasis on stealth, making it crucial to master the art of moving unseen. Whether it’s a high-stakes mission or a stroll in the market, a silent approach could save your hide and pave the way to a flawless victory.
2. Viewpoint Syncing: Syncing viewpoints reveals the map, making collectibles and other points of interest visible. In this latest entry of the series, we have an amazing Assassin’s Focus feature to scan and take down a group of enemies.
3. Merchant Favor Tokens: Spend these tokens at traders to reduce prices. It’s a boon for resource gathering, especially when you’re stocking up on components for upgrades.
4. Guaranteed Pickpocket: Enable Guaranteed Pickpocket in the game options, it turns every pickpocketing attempt into a success, making it a breeze to gather resources and complete related trophies.
5. Prioritize Tool Upgrades: When it comes to upgrading, tools should be your priority. Other than improving your abilities, these are also crucial for unlocking some trophies.
6. Keep an Eye on Your Inventory: Regular checks will ensure you’re well-stocked and ready to face any challenge thrown your way. It’s all about being prepared, right?
7. Time-Savers: Use time-savers like enabling fast travel through viewpoint syncing and making the most of in-game options. Every second saved is a second closer to that platinum glory.
