Master the Art of the Boat Heist Contracts in Assassin's Creed Mirage

In addition to the main storyline, Assassin's Creed Mirage presents players with various side missions known as contracts. These missions allow Basim to assassinate targets, acquire valuable items from contractors, and earn additional coins and rewards.

Among the early missions available in Assassin's Creed Mirage, the Boat Heist stands out as a particularly challenging endeavor for Basim. His objective is to penetrate the heavily guarded Ditch Sluice of the Fief and pilfer a boat for the contractor. This guide will assist players in successfully accomplishing their mission while maintaining their anonymity.

Starting The Boat Heist Contract In AC Mirage

Upon Basim's arrival in Baghdad and his encounter with Roshan at the Hidden One's Headquarters, a range of contracts become accessible. Once Basim has accepted a particular contract, he can easily navigate to the Investigations menu and select the desired contract. As for the Boat Heist mission, it can be found in Harbiyah, near the viewpoint of the Nestorian Monastery. Basim can either opt to swiftly travel to the monastery and make his way southwest to the fort within the village, or alternatively, he can utilize the synchronized fast travel point near the Dyeing Factory in Harbiyah and proceed in a northerly direction.

Infiltrating The Ditch Sluice of the Fief IN AC Mirage

To successfully infiltrate the fort, pull the lever, and avoid detection, the following steps should be followed:

1. Make sure Basim carries a sufficient supply of knives and blowdarts.

Use Basim's eagle outside the fort to locate the boat and mark all the guards in the compound.

With all the guards tagged, go to the northwest corner of the fort.

Players may want to use Eagle Vision to keep track of the guard's movements.

Climb up to the top of the wall and assassinate the guard inside.

Use the right exit to kill the guard watching the boat with a throwing knife, or use a jump assassination.

Use another throwing knife to kill the seated guard near the grass.

Sneak back to where Basim killed the first guard. Then, loot the chest and exit north.

Assassinate the guard when he's looking outside the fort.

Sneak along the wall and throw a knife to kill the guard patrolling left to right.

Do the same for the seated guard. Or use Basim's Chain Assassination ability to kill both in one action.

Kill the guard behind the steps.

Interact with the lever to open the gate and dive into the water.

If all the guards in this vicinity have been killed, Basim will go unnoticed.

Use the boat to escape through the gate and head for the final destination in the Upper Habor in Harbiyah.

That's all Basim requires to discreetly pilfer the boat. Players can safely head back to the fort to collect any remaining treasure chests without concern for detection during the mission.
