The world of Assassin’s Creed has always been full of twists and turns. It;s no surprise to find that the Hidden Ones, as well as the Assassins, have had to deal with all sorts of ambushes and betrayals throughout the years. In the latest entry, a confrontation with Basim’s mentor falls into the same category. This is how to defeat Roshan in Assassin’s Creed Mirage.
Assassin’s Creed Mirage Roshan Boss Guide
With the end in sight for Assassin’s Creed Mirage as part of the In Pursuit of Truth questline, players venture back to Alamut to find the ancient fortress under siege. Free your fellow assassins and beat back the invaders. Then, the real prize is the ancient Isu temple that lies beneath the headquarters of the Hidden Ones. This is where Basim is going to find out just who he is.
Unfortunately, Roshan, the mentor who took him in and nurtured the street thief into a master assassin is hell-bent on preventing players from opening the temple. A battle is inevitable. This is the only boss fight in the game that might be a test for some.
First off, any attacks against Roshan will see her parry and deal damage back to Basim. There is no way of harming her unless you attack her weak spot first. Target her with a Throwing Knife and aim for her right shoulder. Doing so successfully will trigger a cutscene that kicks off the fight properly.
From here on, combat is more similar to how players have been dealing with the various enemies in Mirage. Roshan attacks quickly and with considerable force. Mix up attacks that can be parried as well as those that must be dodged. She is skilled in dodging one way and coming back with a slash, as well as some extended combos. Always be prepared to dodge if you are not confident of parrying.
The best way to deal damage to Roshan is to be patient and master the parrying timing. This will momentarily stun her, opening her up to combos from Basim. If you back away too much, do watch out for her leaping attack as well. Keep it up, and eventually, the student will surpass the master. This paves the way for Basim to find out his origins.
