The Ultimate Guide to Master Basim's Eagle Enkidu in Assassin's Creed Mirage

In Assassin's Creed: Mirage, players will encounter numerous enemies patrolling Baghdad. They will undertake various contracts, such as assassinations, ally escorting, and stealing valuable items from heavily guarded locations. Some missions are more challenging than others, particularly in areas teeming with guards and enemies. Identifying the whereabouts of everyone, even with Eagle Vision, is often difficult since its range is limited to Basim.

Fortunately, Assassin's Creed: Mirage introduces a helpful resource for players - Basim's eagle companion, Enkidu. Enkidu operates like a drone, providing players with a controllable camera to survey the area from an aerial perspective. This unique ability unveils hidden locations, potential entrances, and even allows players to mark guards for easier tracking. Here's an overview of how Enkidu can be utilized in Assassin's Creed: Mirage.

How To Use Enkidu In Assassin's Creed: Mirage

Enkidu can be summoned by pressing up on the D-pad on console (or B on PC). Once summoned, players will enter an aerial perspective and gain control of the bird. By using the thumbstick to the left or right (A and D on PC), players can guide Enkidu's flight direction. Tilting the thumbstick up or down (W and S on PC) will adjust Enkidu's altitude. A keybindings menu will appear at the bottom of the screen when controlling Enkidu, providing a comprehensive list of the bird's actions. Enkidu's speed can be increased using the boost key. The Hide Icons key can be utilized to conceal certain icons, such as chest locations and NPC positions. Toggling the "panel" will display or hide a special information panel that presents details specific to the player's current location.

One of Enkidu's most valuable abilities is the ability to go "stationary." Activating this will cause Enkidu to cease movement in mid-air, allowing players to experience the bird's perspective in first-person and making it easier to monitor patrols, mark guards, and reveal hidden areas. Occasionally, players controlling Enkidu will encounter a gold circle that expands and contracts with movement. This signifies that Enkidu can uncover a concealed item, location, or NPC. To unveil the secret, players must move the circle until it contracts as much as possible, causing it to vanish and revealing a new marker on the map. While controlling Enkidu, players are also able to create their own markings which can be viewed when controlling Basim.

Furthermore, it is crucial to acknowledge the presence of unique Marksman foes in certain regions. If Enkidu ventures too close to a Marksman, they will endeavor to shoot down the bird in mid-air. As a result, players will be unable to summon or employ Enkidu unless they distance themselves sufficiently from the Marksman or eliminate them.

Enkidu serves as a precious asset in Assassin's Creed: Mirage, and players are highly encouraged to utilize him frequently to gain a comprehensive awareness of the terrain and familiarize themselves with the targeted area before dispatching Basim for the necessary operations.
