Assassin’s Creed Mirage has 10 Mysterious Shard Locations. Finding all Mysterious Shards is required to get 100% completion in all districts for the Explorer trophy & achievement (fully explore all territories). They are also needed to unlock the 3 chests in the Secret Chamber, reached by diving down Northern Oasis. The chests give two weapons and the secret Milad’s Outfit.
The Shards are part of the Main Quest “The Ancient Place” from Nehal. This quest starts after assassinating the first main target “Al-Ghul”. Should a shard not spawn, you must advance the story.
They are all pickpocketed from NPCs in black robes who walk around with guards. They are patrolling on scripted paths. Their exact location varies because they are constantly moving but they will always pass by the same place if you wait there. They will also show on the map when nearby and appear on the compass at the top of the screen. If one doesn’t show up, you can summon the eagle and tag the yellow beams of light, those are undiscovered collectibles.
Nothing is missable, everything can still be collected after the story.

How to Use Mysterious Shards in Secret Chamber
After collecting all Shards, go to the Northern Oasis in the Wilderness, east of Anbar (the starting town). Dive down in the Oasis to reach an underwater tunnel. Go all the way to the end to find the Hidden Chamber.
There are 3 pedestals where you can insert the shards. They cost 10 shards total (2 + 3 + 5 shards).
They unlock the following gear:
2 Shards (Left Pedestal): The Samsaama
3 Shards (Right Pedestal): Shamshir-e Zomorrodnegar
5 Shards (Middle Pedestal): Milad’s Outfit
That’s all of the Mysterious Shards in AC Mirage. For all other collectible types refer to Assassin’s Creed Mirage Collectible Guide.
