Uncover the Hidden Riches: Unlocking Scholar's Estate Gear Chest in Assassin's Creed Mirage

In Assassin's Creed Mirage, gear chests hold some of the most valuable collectibles. These special chests contain weapons, clothing, and upgrade schematics that Basim can use to enhance his gear at tailors and blacksmiths.

Unfortunately, accessing each gear chest can be quite challenging. Among the toughest ones to unlock is the gear chest located in the Scholar's Estate, situated in the southwest of Baghdad. Unlike most gear chests, this particular one is locked. Players must locate the key in order to unlock it and obtain its contents.

How to Reach the Scholar's Estate Gear Chest

The Scholar's Estate is completely enclosed by walls, with a significant number of guards constantly monitoring every part of the grounds. While some walls are equipped with spikes that render them unclimbable, others are as easily scalable as any other wall in Baghdad.

By employing Eagle Vision, players will have the ability to locate the gear chest situated on the second floor of the main building. To gain entry unnoticed, players should focus their attention on the northeast side of the building, where a vulnerable window can be found. Ascend to the wooden platform directly beneath the window, taking the most direct route possible, and Basim should avoid detection by the guards.

The wooden bars covering this window are the kind players can destroy. Either a regular attack up close or a thrown dagger should demolish this barrier and let players in.

To overcome the forthcoming obstacle, start by shifting the left bookshelf to generate some leeway. Subsequently, retract the right bookshelf to establish sufficient room for accessing the chest.

The chest is securely locked, but a clue left on a nearby table hints at the whereabouts of the key. According to the note, the key can be found in the storage room of the Scholar's Estate. Although it doesn't provide much information, it does imply that the key is within close proximity. While players won't be able to spot it using Eagle Vision from their current location, Enkidu with the first upgrade should be able to locate it from above.

Where to Find the Key for the Scholar's Estate Gear Chest

The storage room is located in the east corner of the estate, just past the practicing guards in the courtyard. Players can avoid detection by sticking to the rooftops until they reach the front door of the storage room. However, the front door is locked, and there are two guards positioned by the back door.

Basim has multiple options for dealing with the two guards, including a direct attack. Once the guards are incapacitated, the back door can be easily opened. To obtain the key, players should check the table in the alcove to the left. Additionally, don't forget to search the small chest in the storage room for valuable resources. Players can now return to the chest and open it.

Within the chest lies the Abbasid Knight Sword (or one of its upgrade schematics). This illustrious blade inflicts identical harm to the sword Basim wields at the beginning, boasting a distinctive ability known as On the Edge. As Basim's vitality dwindles past the halfway mark, his nimble strikes deliver an additional 30% in devastation.

Assassin's Creed Mirage is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
