A modern Assassin’s Creed game will have lots for players to do, and that’s not including the exploration part. From synchronizing many of the different viewpoints to engaging in side activities, an Assassin is meant to be a busy person. However, in Assassin’s Creed Mirage, the busywork has been reduced quite significantly, leaving room for more meaningful content that can be quite educational. This guide on how to find all the Historical Sites in Assassin’s Creed Mirage will lead you on a trip through some fascinating history.
Assassin’s Creed Mirage Historical Sites Locations
One of the key components when trying to get 100% completion for any of the regions in Assassin’s Creed Mirage, Historical Sites have no gameplay impact whatsoever. Instead, they function as educational touchstones for players to learn more about 9th-century Baghdad, its culture, and the people from that time. As such, there can be some really interesting snippets here and there, especially for history buffs.
