The gear chest is a vital collectible in Assassin's Creed Mirage, housing essential items such as fresh weapons, new apparel, and upgrade blueprints. Players can acquire directions to these chests and other collectibles from cartographers, though they lack guidance on how to reach them.
An especially challenging chest to access in Assassin's Creed Mirage lies within Four Markets, situated on the western side of Baghdad. While locating the chest is relatively simple with the aid of the compass and Eagle Vision, players must thoroughly explore the entire market to discover the path leading to it.
How to Get the Four Markets Gear Chest in AC Mirage
Where to Find the First Clue
The entrance to the building holding the Four Corners chest can be accessed through a precarious stone wall located at the rear. Those who have experienced previous Assassin's Creed games will be familiar with the technique of demolishing such walls by hurling an oil jar at them. Interestingly, although the area lacks any visible oil jars, this remains the sole method to breach the wall.
Players have the option to carry an oil jar from a different area in Baghdad, but they can also utilize Eagle Vision to locate oil jars in the adjacent room. Unfortunately, the door on the closer side is barricaded, while the one on the farther side is locked.
Simply scanning the surroundings wouldn't reveal the whereabouts of the key, but players can stumble upon a nearby clue. By scaling the chest-building, they will come across a table adorned with scrolls. On this table, there is a written notification that Basim can peruse, indicating that the proprietor of the building is enjoying tea in the Silk Quarter. It is important to note that the term "Silk Quarter" used in the notification corresponds to the area referred to as "Four Markets" within the game. Therefore, to locate the owner, players should explore the neighborhood situated just north of the building.
Where to Find the Four Markets Storage Key
Players may need to search extensively to locate the key. The owner of the key is located quite far from the chest, and there is also another key available in the market known as the Four Markets Chest Key. This secondary key unlocks a separate chest containing crafting materials.
The appropriate key is possessed by an individual situated on the second floor of a building to the north of the Four Markets map marker. The desired building can be identified on the map.
In Eagle Vision, the key owner becomes visible once Basim approaches. Those who have upgraded Enkidu can also spot the key from above. To reach the key owner's floor, players can either use the doorway on the right or simply jump through the window next to him. Obtaining the key requires a medium pickpocket attempt.
How to Get Through the Stone Walls
Once Basim obtains the key, he can make his way back to the chest and unlock the door. Subsequently, players can proceed to unbar the rear entrance, retrieve an oil jug, and transport it to the massive stone wall that is three times its normal size. To gain access, all that needs to be done is to hurl the jug at the wall, causing sufficient damage to breach it.
However, players haven't finished facing challenges just yet. There is yet another formidable barrier of unstable stone hindering Basim from accessing the upper floor, where the coveted chest eagerly awaits. To overcome this obstacle, players are required to ascend onto the wooden awning positioned just above the deteriorated stone wall.
The window in this location is secured by strong bars preventing Basim from accessing it directly. However, the gaps in the bars are wide enough to accommodate a dagger. The window is strategically positioned to provide a favorable angle for players to target and strike the oil jugs located in the center of the room. By successfully hitting these jugs, players can cause enough damage to the stone ceiling, creating a passage to the treasure chest.
To complete the task, players must then move a stone shelf from the lower floor and position it beneath the newly created opening in the ceiling. Once the shelf is in place, players can climb up and unlock the Four Markets gear chest.
The Zanj Uprising Dagger contained within provides increased regular damage but reduced defense damage compared to the initial dagger. Additionally, it possesses a unique capability to replenish Stamina upon successfully evading an attack.
