Hey Fellow Gamers.
Today I bring you my first battle mission in Assassin's Creed Mirage. More importantly, it is my first fighting mission in Baghdad city. I shared how I reached Baghdad city and found the Beauru in my last post. I was also tasked with finding Ali's location based on Nur's contacts. I also shared about how I met Bashi at the docs, who is a merchant and a rebel leader.
Bashi agreed to help me find Ali in exchange for releasing some rebels who were kept as prisoners by the soldiers of the port. Those rebels were also his companions and friends with Ali. So, it was possible to get some information from them about where they took Ali.
I first scanned the full area to spot the enemies. I needed to be aware of the archers as they could spot me easily and could be quite troublesome as I needed to climb up to towers and rooftops to reach them and then kill them. The Photomode was quite the help in spotting the enemies. After building a plan, I was now ready to launch my attack.
- Arecher on the rooftop. Luckily he's looking in the other direction.
- Two soldiers in front of the ship and one to the left just by the stairs. He's guarding the rebel prisoner.
- One soldier on this roof just beside the fire. But he is busy cleaning his weapon and two others on the other side of the building, at the corner. Hopefully, none of them can see me.
The soldier sitting behind me was my first kill but I had to wait for the other one who was standing to look away. He is one of the strongest soldiers and I can't win against him in a direct battle. So, I needed to sneak up behind him and then assassinate him before he noticed me. He also had the key to the room where the first prisoner was locked. So, I had no choice but to engage with him. Otherwise, I would not take the chance to fight him.
By the time I killed this big-strong soldier, the two soldiers in front of the ship noticed me and started running towards me. And I also needed to kill the soldier guarding the door. I can't fight 3 of them at once so I rushed to the soldier guarding the door and dealt with him first. It made the fight against those others easier for me. I mean it was not easy but if I were to fight 3 of them, it would end with me being dead.
If you notice just behind me, you will see a dead soldier on the first-floor rooftop. I had to kill the soldier cleaning his weapon and the two others at the corner of the building to reach here cause this dead soldier was guarding another prisoner and I needed to release him too. If you just zoom the picture, you can see all their dead bodies and that is why I chose this position and this angle to capture the picture.
Now I needed to enter the ship and release another prisoner from there. The photo mode was great for spying on enemies. I could easily move my camera and zoom in to see what the enemies were doing and which way they were looking.
There were only two of them on the ship and both seemed to be in a relaxing mode. As I was playing in stealth mode, I guess they did not notice what was happening at the port. And they both were facing the sea, so I dove underwater as it helped me to stay hidden from them and the archers on the rooftops. And as they were looking at the other side, I used the stairs on the port to get on the ship.
There was a legendary chest with valuable items on the ship and I had to solve a critical puzzle to reach it. There was nothing to photograph there, so I decided to skip that part of my photographs. And the picture below I took after completing the mission. Now I had to meet with Bashi at the fishing docs. You can see him waiting for me at the docs and he is right in the middle of the picture.
The conversation with Bashi happened in a cinematic scene. He brought one of the prisoners I released earlier and from him, I learned about Ali. According to him, they separated Ali from the rest of the soldiers and took him somewhere else to question and torture. They are intending to get information out of Ali about the Creed.
You can get a hint about what I was talking about earlier about Ali's position from these cinematic scenes below. Let's see if I can find him.
I hope you liked my storytelling and the pictures I took. A lot more happened during the mission but I chose the scenes where I could get a good image and it's quite hard to get the perfect timing while fighting to take a picture. I'm working on that and hope soon will be able to share cool shots while fighting enemies. If any of you played the game before, please give me suggestions about how to play it better.
Thanks a lot for the time to read the post.
