Assassin's Creed Mirage Enigma guide: How to solve A Challenge

The setting of Assassin's Creed Mirage is not quite as big as the three previous installments in the Assassin's Creed series. Fans who pick up this game will be treated to a scaled-down game that gets rid of the sprawling worlds and RPG elements that were present in AC Origins, Odyssey, and Valhalla. Instead, the game provides a gameplay experience that is similar to the earlier games in the series.

However, this does not mean that ninth-century Baghdad is completely devoid of side activities. There is still plenty for you to do when you want to take a break from the game's main quest line.

One of these side activities is called Enigma. This side quest involves a multi-part puzzle that will always reward you with a new outfit or talisman to change Basim's appearance.

As the Enigma's name suggests, this riddle will challenge you to find a hidden treasure.

You will notice that the riddle is alluding to a location where a water wheel is situated. Additionally, lines nine to eleven refer to something that was taken down so that a scribe could write on it. Another important tidbit is that the location is east of a place where people observe.

With this information, you will be able to deduce that the location you are seeking is a building producing paper with a water wheel east of the Observatory.

To solve the Enigma, go towards the direction that is being indicated and start searching there. The building you are looking for is on the south side. It is also the one closest to the bridge and the Observatory.

Once you've located the building, take a peek behind the water wheel. You will be able to see that there is a barred window that you can open with Basim's throwing knife. After you've destroyed the barrier, head into the building and grab the treasure.
