Enkidu will help you spot an NPC to pickpocket. Return to building with the key, open it up, and go to the storage room for the explosive keg. Carry to back of locked building and throw it to destroy the breakable wall. Throw a knife at the breakable ceiling here to blow it up, and go up to get to the chest. Pickpocket the guard to get the key.
5. Zanj Uprising Dagger Upgrade Schematic 1	Inside Hammam in Yasiriyah - use the breakable window on the west wall to get inside. Move the movable object from the wall, and take the oil jar. The south part of the house has a breakable wall to use this on, and grab the chest inside.

The Abbasiyah district in Assassin's Creed Mirage features six chests - all with weapons, or weapon upgrade schematics. The Abbasid Knight Sword is a hard-hitting weapon, and features the perk, On The Edge. When your Health is below 50%, it begins to deal 30% damage on all Light Attacks, making it a great ally in combat.

You’ll pick up a pair of upgrades for this, and then find the Zanj Uprising Dagger. While it doesn’t hit quite as hard as the sword, the Second Wind perk lets you refill 10% of your Stamina each time you successfully dodge. This is invaluable in more dangerous combat, such as with mercenaries and elite guards.

Item Name:	Item Location/Tips:
1. First Shard	NPC that explores Yasiryah - no guards.
2. Second Shard	NPC that wanders Haylanah, has a powerful guard.

The Mysterious Shards might not appear on your map in this game. They do not unlock until you’ve reached certain parts, so keep that in mind.

The first Mysterious Shard for Assassin’s Creed Mirage’s Abbasiyah district is incredibly simple to get. The NPC has no one watching their back and often find themselves near hay carts, so you can defeat them and sneak away safely.

When you go hunting for the second shard in Haylanah, they do have guards however. You can bribe nearby mercenaries with your tokens, if you aren’t feeling confident enough about overcoming this particular fight.

Item Name:	Item Location/Tips:
1. "A Life's Work"	Beneath Yasiryah Viewpoint in the north, speak to the man on the bench outside the Observatory.
2. "Blade In The Crowd, Tool In The Shed"	East Haylanah, southeast of Pharmacy, a Hidden One will call to you.

Tales of Baghdad are essentially side quests you can unlock as you progress through this district in Assassin’s Creed Mirage. The first one, “A Life’s Work,” takes significantly more work to complete than the second.

The NPC is missing three pages of his treatise, and needs you to help him find them. Conversely, the second, “Blade in the Crowd, Tool in the Shed” just requires you to defeat a couple of guards. That one is so much easier to complete.
