Unveiling the Secrets of Assassin's Creed Mirage: Mastering the Art of Eavesdropping

Assassin's Creed: Mirage revisits the roots of the series by emphasizing the authentic experience of being an assassin throughout different historical periods. By assuming the role of Basim, the mentor of Valhalla's Eivor, players can witness the origins of the Brotherhood before it becomes known as the Assassin's Creed.

This approach allows players to employ stealthy tactics such as blending in and discreetly eavesdropping on conversations to gather valuable intelligence from guards and other non-player characters in Assassin's Creed: Mirage. Certain missions necessitate remaining undetected and carefully listening to significant conversations in order to obtain treasures, documents, and other valuable items.

How To Eavesdrop In Assassin's Creed: Mirage

To progress the storyline and acquire important items or information on a target, Basim will need to eavesdrop on various conversations during several quests. The specific mission, "Follow Nur's Lead," requires Basim to infiltrate an enemy outpost and engage in covert listening. Unfortunately, some players are experiencing difficulties in initiating the eavesdropping process. To ensure a successful eavesdropping operation without raising suspicion, follow these steps:

1. Basim should remain hidden or inconspicuously blend into the surroundings.

2. Basim must carefully observe the ongoing conversation.

Players may find it easier to use the eagle to uncover and mark targets from above.

Unlike enemy NPCs that glow in red, they will glow orange.

Without the eagle vision, they will have a speaker mark above their heads.

Players must find a way to blend in and stay out of sight.

In the Follow Nur's Lead mission, players must hide in a stack of hay and click the R3 on the PlayStation or R-stick on the Xbox.

In the conversation, Basim will gather useful information for his mission and discover valuable items during side quests in AC Mirage.

Moreover, Basim can discreetly hide near the target NPCs by using benches, hiding booths, and flowerbeds, ensuring that he remains out of their sight.

Players must be careful not to leave the haystack or the blending-in area, as doing so will either expose Basim's whereabouts or terminate the conversation. Nevertheless, players can exit the listening area, then return to have another chance to secretly listen in. In Assassin's Creed: Mirage, there are multiple occasions to overhear conversations that consistently lead to fascinating discoveries. Therefore, it is advisable for players to thoroughly explore their surroundings, make use of Basim's eagle, and leverage his Eagle Vision abilities to maximize their chances of uncovering these valuable opportunities.

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