)Introduction
Welcome to the Assassin’s Creed Mirage Trophy Guide! AC Mirage goes back to the roots with gameplay similar to Assassin’s Creed 1. The amount of content and map size is also comparable to AC1 and significantly smaller than the latest main title AC games. It’s a pretty quick and easy platinum. The story lasts around 10+ hours, there are side quests called “Contracts”, and 170 Collectibles total. All collectibles are needed to “fully explore all territories”, except Enigma Solutions of which only one is required for trophy purposes (finding the Enigma Scrolls is enough to complete all territories). There is only one missable trophy for pickpocketing a guard affected by a blowdart, the problem being that it only works on a few specific guards carrying keys or mysterious shards.
Step 1: Play through Story & Sync all Viewpoints [12-15 Hours]
Because some Collectibles are gated behind story progress it’s best to focus on the story first. After finishing the story you will have access to all Collectibles. What difficulty you pick doesn’t matter, everything is obtainable on ‘Easy’ difficulty. During the story watch out for the following:
- [MISSABLE] You Snooze, You Lose – this requires you to use a Blowdart on an enemy soldier carrying a key and pickpocket him. It only works on enemies who have an orange key icon over their head
. Alternatively, it works on enemies carrying 
Mysterious Shards (only 10 total in the game). There are very limited opportunities for this, making it highly missable (civilians with keys don’t count). You gain access to the Blowdart automatically from the story, after Main Quest: Branching Out (shortly after assassinating the 1st Order Member called “Al-Ghul”). Then go loot one of the enemies holding a Mysterious Shard Collectible. You can find an enemy with a key on the roof of “The Bazaar” in Karkh district:
- [TIME SAVER] Enable Guaranteed Pickpocket in game options – Press Touchpad > Touchpad again to open Menu > Options > Gameplay > Guaranteed Pickpocket = ON. This successfully completes every pickpocketing attempt without needing to input the QTE sequence. You can sell pickpocketed items to Traders for money.
- [TIME SAVER] Spend Merchant Favor Tokens at traders to reduce all prices by -30% & Buy 100 Components (Cogs) whenever available – You need a total of 1460 Components (Cogs) to fully upgrade all Tools. They are the rarest resource in the game. The fastest way is to buy them. By default they cost 5 Dirhams per piece but you can reduce the price to 3 Dirhams per piece by spending “Merchant Favor Tokens” to get a discount. These Tokens come from pickpocketing people, and once spent the discount is applied permanently across all traders in the game. When you have enough money, spend it on buying 100 Components for 300 Dirhams. It takes a while for merchant inventories to replenish so check back from time to time. This reduces the grind for all Tool Upgrades later on. Don’t waste money on Steel Ingots & Leather, you get more of those than you need.
- [TIME SAVER] Sync All Viewpoints – Viewpoints unfog the map to reveal collectibles and can be used as fast travel points. Unlocking all of these early will save time during quests, allowing you to fast travel everywhere instead of walking. You should start working on these after finishing the Prologue, as soon as you unlock the Camel mount so you can ride everywhere quickly. It takes around 2-3 hours to sync all Viewpoints and unfog the whole map. See Viewpoint Locations.
Step 2: Collectibles [5 Hours]
After the story you will have access to all Collectibles.
See Assassin’s Creed Mirage Collectible Guide.
Step 3: Play Contracts to Unlock All Skills & Fully Upgrade All Tools [2 Hours]
After doing all Main Quests and Collectibles, you will still need 13 skill points. To get these, you will need to finish most of the Contracts (Side Quests). They are started on the quest board in 
Hidden Ones’ Bureau. These also reward you with more materials for upgrading all Tools. While you do this, remember to keep buying stacks of 100 Components (Cogs) from traders whenever available. To fully upgrade all tools you need: 1460 Components + 675 Steel Ingots + 675 Leather.
Steel Ingots and Leather shouldn’t be a problem if you didn’t overspend them on Weapon/Outfit upgrades. If you run short on these you can buy them from traders too.
Step 4: Miscellaneous Trophies [2 Hours]
All you might have left are some Miscellaneous Trophies. Most of them should have unlocked naturally by now but anything you have left can quickly be farmed in the open world.

Great guide as always, PowerPyx team!
I have been looking forward to this for a while. I’m a fan of the much larger AC games, but it will be nice to play a game similar to the original in size and not a full collectathon for the platinum. It’s a shame there’s the highly missable trophy, but as long as no collectibles glitch out I’ll be happy.
How would you rate this in terms of fun/interest? Like story, gameplay, etc.
Thanks for the guide, PowerPyx!
This might be a bit of an odd question but which trophy among the misc. trophies is definitely the one that won’t accidentally unlock by simply playing or 100%ing the game, so I have to actively go for it. I’m preparing for a milestone (SM2 and P5 Tactica) and I’m finishing games with only ~99% trophy completion before I finish those two and don’t want to mess up. Would ‘Dawn and Dusk’ be a good one to not unlock?
An easy one to avoid on purpose would be “Unstoppable”. Just don’t use Assassin’s Focus if you want to keep it for last.
Jesus Christ, how do I refill throwing knives? I’ve been walking with 0 for a hour. Whas a stupid game.
Easiest way is to buy them from Traders.
Knives are everywhere you just need to look harder …they are inside open chests and also they are stuck on crates always about 2-3. Helps also when you buy the skill to retrieve knives back from dead bodies.
There is a lot of chests in the game with free knives, use the eagle eyes to view the chests glowing. Or simple buy knives on the merchants.
At all the assassin’s hideouts you can find a chest that will give you some I think.
Thank you for the trophy guide. This game’s Platinum trophy is about what I expected when it comes to difficulty and length, but it’s strange that there is a missable trophy in an open world action-adventure game like this (at least it’s only a single easy one).
From the reviews I’ve watched, it still doesn’t interest me because the classic AC formula is boring to me now, the game has cosmetic microtransactions, and I haven’t felt compelled to play an Ubisoft game since 2017.
Thank you so much for this! What did you think of game itself?
Thanks for the guide. If definately looks more like a DLC and collectaton than a fully flesh AC game. But looks fun too.
Well it was supposed to be a Valhalla DLC, so
Unfortunately no auto pop and even some trophies are unobtainable after loading the cloud save from ps4 to ps5 like the 10 minute combat trophy. Eagle’s will.
I started another playthrough and it popped in the same location on ps5
How do you do the cloud save transfer? I’m playing on PS5, and want to save right before trophy pop and upload save to cloud to pop them on PS4. The old games had option to upload to cloud, but I don’t see it on this one.
It goes automatically, check ur save file with a cloud icon. If it doesn’t save right away, delete ur last manual or auto save cloud file and save again. Then it will have a new cloud save file as well
Best way for dual platinum is keeping a save before each trophy, then going to ps4, completing the objective and going back to ps5 to get it there like in watch dogs.
The 20 scaffolding trophy (gifted escapist) can also be done through saving and reloading, that will respawn it
Thank you Power. Looks fantastic. Will start today.
After the assassinating Al Ghul I still can’t unlock Skill Extra Tool Capacity 1 it’s greyed out and says Progress further in the story any idea why? I want the missable trophy out of the way asap but i can’t
Return to the Hidden Ones Bureau to turn in the quest, then it unlocks.
Is that the only spot/time to get the Snooze you loose trophy? I tried doing it but once I KO’d the guard with the dart all it said was “kill” not pickpocket
There are a few more opportunities in other main quests and in a contract, but not many.
If the prompt doesn’t come up reload last autosave and repeat. Also make sure it’s the correct guard who holds the key (there are other big armored guards in the area who don’t have a key).
Thank you Power for continue making great guides. I exciting to play AC Mirage later tonight.
Poster Boy trophy is completely bugged for me and I don’t know how or why, I’ve just farmed out every notoriety related trophy (kill a shakkariya, survive level 3 for 10 minutes, etc.) but now as I head around and tear down 3 posters and become anonymous the trophy doesn’t unlock, I’ve tried reloading back to really early saves before I’ve even gotten notoriety once and it still isn’t working at all, I don’t understand.
Update on Poster Boy: I got it but you need to have MAXIMUM notoriety, the third icon on the bar does not cut it, the ENTIRE line has to be red.
No, I did it with only three, toy can’t be seen you have to be anonymous with all three killed before you pull down the poster, you can’t be in the middle of a chase and the Ninja dude can’t be coming after you.
The trophy poster boy is glitched for me. Despite doing everything right it will not unlock. Tried 3 times.
I have the trophy now. The problem was when I was taking down a poster it was in a quest area, it triggered the quest and glitched. Luckily I had another save, i loaded it up and got it on my 1st try. Different location of course.
is the snooze you lose trophy only for guards with keys? wouldn’t the guards with the mysterious shards also work
Would need someone to test this as I already have the trophy. They can be pickpocketed and are hostile so in theory this could work.
(Edit: apparently works, thanks everyone for confirming! It’s updated in the guide, makes it less missable)
I got the trophy pickpocketing one of those guards that carry those mysterious shards, after hitting him with the blowdart.
It works
For “Gifted Escape” I have a save point right in front of the structures…Can I just destroy it & reload my save or do I have to repawn at the Sync point for it to properly track?
Update: Yup it works. Was father than spawning in & running to the location
Blade in the crowd doesnt pop, despite doing everything (with merchants + will regilar crowd).
Can I get trophy – Stay at maximum notoriety for 10 minutes. For example can i stay at synchronization tower for example during maximum wanted level? Or I must be in conflict near guards directly?
Just checking, but it sounds like the two trophies with 10 minute time requirements need to be all at once, not cumulatively across multiple wanted/combat engagements, correct? So, you need to spend 10 minutes continuously in those two states to get the trophies?
They must be done in one single 10 minute encounter (it’s not cumulative).
Can you fix the website? It keeps refreshing over and over again and it’s hard to follow the guide! Thank you 🙂
Please try updating to latest version of iOS firmware to fix it. It’s an Apple iOS firmware bug (specifically iOS Webkit), but should be fixed in latest firmware. I was able to replicate this on older firmwares but it no longer refreshes on current firmware. Hope that fixes it, let me know 🙂
I can confirm the You Snooze, You Lose trophy can be unlocked using the blow dart while collecting the mysterious shards from guards i unlocked it in the city of anbar so it’s not limited to guards with a set of keys
There is also another guard you can pickpocket in mission: Dogan bin Arslan mission (Informant).
Can confirm that the You Snooze You Lose trophy can be unlocked via the mysterious shards.
That’s for the post about the Poster Boy trophy, i had originally thought it was bugged or glitched until reading the above post and managed to get the trophy.
I don’t know if it was a glitch, but for the Silencer trophy I tossed a knife at the horn on a dead guy and got it.
So if you’re like me and suck at aiming, you can easily do this while they’re laying on the ground sucking up the Bagdad Dirt.
Hello Pyxy !
Thanks for this genius guide.
Report of potential glitched trophy:
Blade in the crowd
is unobtainable for some players, also there is another way to get it, by walking with a group of merchants.
Personally I tried the way you wrote about, maybe for 30 times. Still didn’t get it.
Thanks !
For me it worked how I wrote in the guide. It popped when I was standing with a regular crowd of people and whistled to lure a guard (I only did 2 kills walking with merchant group, other 8 kills were with random civilians).
If it doesn’t pop maybe rebooting game and redoing the kills helps.
Make sure your kill animation is you walking toward the guard for the kill. Your trophy will pop after 10 kills with this animation.
Did You get this trophy? I killed way more in the crowd and nothing :/ maybe only merchants count, dont know. Is there a way to fix it.
Weird, i got a bug on Dervis’ Artifacts. On the Harbiyah district it says i got 3/4 and i can see the pickpocket target on the map. Thing is, i already stole it, i cant pickpocket the guy again. Not sure if i’m going to get the trophy when i get the last one… Anybody else had this?
The Curio Collector is obtained after pick pocketing all 18 Dervis Artifacts. I am just now realizing this and have been killing all of them. Though some people are reporting they’ve accidentally killed one and still got the trophy. So I’m wondering if you actually have to pickpocket all 18 artifacts or will the action of turning them all into Dervis pops the trophy as well?
The actual trophy trigger is bringing them to Dervis, the trophy pops after that. So as long as you got all 18 artifacts (regardless of whether you killed the NPCs or not), you’ll get the trophy.
I can confirm that the Snooze you lose trophy can be obtained from the people carrying mysterious shards. IMPORTANT: it does not work when you have the auto-collect skill from the trickster skill tree (if you purchased it just reset skills). I just got the trophy this way.
The (scholar) trophy is glitched. I got all the lost books and obtained all the trophies in the game but whenever I try to return the book it won’t let me. (Basim) says not just yet to (Al Jahiz) although I have all the books. This was on PS5
the trophy is bugged for me too. Hope they will fix it soon
Not glitched, there is another book after you give him the 6.
I have this too… Been trying it for ages… Also the 10 kills blended in the crowd trophy dont pop up…
I got Snooze You Lose trophy from sleep darting someone with a mysterious shard
The snooze you lose trophy does also work on the people carrying the mysterious shards, i’ve just done it.
Thanks for confirming! 🙂
The ‘You Snooze You Loose’ trophy is also obtainable if you use the blow dart on someone who is carrying a mysterious chard. It’s the same principle as when doing this on a guard with a key. Use the blow dart to knock them out, and then loot the body for the chard.
I got the trophy this way. So that makes it a lot less missable. Hopefully this will help someone out.
You can obtain the “You Snooze, You Loose” achievement on a side contract as well. Specifically confirmed on a contract named “The State Official”, which you have to infiltrate the prison and kill a official.
The Snooze You Lose achievement isn’t exactly missable. Another location should you use up all the Shards and all quest keys:
On the roof of the Bazaar, there is a big enemy that carries a White Key. This guy keeps respawning with the key (or at least did for me).
That one works for the achievement.
This is a great alternative, thank you for posting this! I’ll add this spot to the guide.
Only thing is he doesn’t respawn with the key for me after using it. I looted the key from him and used it on the chest behind him, fast traveled away to other end of map and came back. The enemy respawned but without a key. So it’s still missable if you end up looting his key and already used it.
I killed a Shakiriyya and didn’t get the trophy. Either having mercenaries attack him voids the trophy or using poison does. My poison finished him off.
If you’re going for this trophy, don’t use either to be safe.
Oh and the easiest way to get Notorious trophy is to just kill the head of the order. Afterwards you have max notoriety and you’re ina secluded area that nobody can reach. You can just sit there for ten minutes and go make a victory sandwich or something.
Hi Power I’m missing one trophy for the platnium it’s called Tools Of The Trade my shop won’t refresh stock to get enough cogs to buy last upgrade can you help? Id like to know how often stock refreshes I’ve tried dying, loading the game back up, spamming pass time on bench and waiting an hour or two doing nothing and it doesn’t work any advice please.
Finally got the platnium trophy it takes about 6-7 hours for trader stock to refresh
Killing the horn bearer and then throwing the knife works too. If he’s flipped just lift him and throw him for a better position.
How long exactly does it take for Merchants to replenish their stock? I’ve been running around grabbing collectibles for at least an hour and all traders I’ve visited still don’t have any cogs. What’s the in-game trigger? Cause from what I can tell, it’s definitely not time.
I got both the survive for 10 mins trophies against chickens. Just ran away from combat and jumped onto a ledge where the chicken couldn’t reach me to attack and waited. Maybe a glitch ????
The Blend in the crowd trophy wont pop for me anyone Else?
Has anyone found all 25 Databases for Citizens of the Caliphate? I have 24/25.. and I have done absolutely everything including all contracts. Any idea where the last one is?
So I found out that the one I’m missing is “Ning The Treasurer” it didn’t pop/unlock her codex information under Citizens of the Caliphate. Is anyone else having this bug as well?
Thank you for this guide
I alwayse come to your guide for any game
But i have to tell you that i take a manul save on my ps5 before i got the skills and all collectable trophy
When i upload it to my ps4 i got most of the trophies for ps4 version
I platinumed the ps4 version under 15 min. Most of combat trophies required just to kill a guard and all will pop out
I finished the game and have both costumes but the Masquerader trophy wont pop.
Same here
Even if you complete the game fully, you can search for a guard with a key in contract missons. Thats how I got the you snoose you lose trophy. I did it after completing 100%
I happen to get the grand bazaar gear chest in Karkh early BEFORE the mission that puts you in that area. I did not notice that the gear chest counter did not go up and now I am way past the point where I have an auto save. I have 4/6 chests in that area. The only other I need is the one in Qasr Salih.
Does this bug out the 100% completion trophy or will it be ok once I get that mission?
You can do a quick double trophy in this game, can check my name on trophy board somewhere and see I spent 30-45 minutes get it.
So what helped me was having 1 board quest left (so pretty much do the 10 and do rest on the ps4 save and one merchant chest to open).
So what I spent most time was finding a merchant chest.
Double platinum done quickly.
For the Up in Smoke trophy, do you have to be in active combat?
Hi Powerpyx,
Can you please do a video guide for “Spend Merchant Favor Tokens at traders to reduce all prices by -30% & Buy 100 Components (Cogs) whenever available” I mean how exactly does those merchant look like and can you buy all components you need on only just one?, and with tools I guess you mean the knives, blowdarts etc. right?
Explorer trophy did not pop after 100% collectibles completed (all in orange colour). 7 books also collected and case closed.
Only solved 1 enigma puzzle. Going to solve the rest to see if that helps.
Anyone with similar issue ?
The blade in the crowd trophy was very glitchy. I did it in the prison, you can blend with the prisoners in the patio and they don’t get scared like regular people
For some reason Spread the News (use Munadi 3 times) is stuck at 66%. Anyone else having issues completing this?
For the scaffolding trophy, Gifted Escapist, there are 3 scaffolding right next to one another at the Excavation Site in the western part of the map. The downsides are it’s a bit of a hike and it’s guarded.
There are three broken trophies. 1) Scholar. I receive the costume but not the trophy. 2) Explorer. I have all the wilderness chests but 1 didn’t count.
The Scholar trophy is not broken, cause you have to beat the story first so that you have access everywhere and the final book is not marked on the map, but it´s still there at the location of PowerPyx video.
Quotation: “No Autopop. Save Transfer is supported in both directions (from PS4 to PS5 & PS5 to PS4) through Ubisoft online cloud (not through local save). It automatically downloads the last Ubisoft Cloud Save you made, requires internet connection. However, this doesn’t autopop any trophies. Some combat trophies pop after doing one more of the required task, but no story trophies autopop. You’d have to manually transfer save before every individual trophy and redo the last part that triggers the trophy.”
Well this seems to be not correct, cause for me all trophies triggered by means of redoing the required tasks, but as for the story trophies ones, well I got them all autopoped when I did a faction contract.
And I only need to replay the story a bit until I´ve reached Bagdad, for the Riddle Me This trophy.
Also it is highly recommendable that before doing a new game to backup your save to the cloud, otherwise your current progress will be deleted.
Masquerader trophy is bugged. I’ve completed main campaign and I also unlocked all the costumes (including both nedeed) but trophy doesn’t pop.
So. the trophy is really buggy (or misssable at least) and there is no way to get it if you missed during the campaign. Luckily, I still had a save for the second half of the game.
The point is that in the mission “great symposium” you MUST match the “White Patient Robe” suit. On my first playthrough, I ran directly to the boss. Although the suit is automatically awarded upon completion of the mission, it does NOT count, you must pick and wear it manually durning the mission.
Hope that helps someone
Eagle’s will can be done with snakes, go to the oasis with the viewpoint, there’s 3 snakes there, just get close but not so close it can hit you, stand there for 10 minutes and the trophy pops
Thanks for the guide!
For the Gifted Escapist Trophy, there’s an alternate farming location. Fast-travel to the viewpoint south east of the Upper Harbor, and make your way to the Harbor using the most direct way (through the arch and to the right). You will see a scaffolding soon. Directly in front of the harbor is a second one, and from there go around the building’s right wall to find a third.
Alternating this with the Damascus Gate farming location will only take 5 iterations, instead up to 20 with the Damascus Gate one alone.
Any suggestions for the “Spread the News” trophy? It seems bugged and no matter what I do it just doesn’t unlock.
By the way, Masquerader is missable.
I eliminated Al-Rasibu with a throwing knife from afar without getting close to him, and then carried on the story. Went back to the location where the disguise should be and it’s not there
Great Guide but I would like for you to update *Gifted Escapist*
There is a much, much faster method that I have just done today. Rather than loading a Viewpoint, you can change your difficult. Change to any difficult and When doing so the world reloads and the Scaffolding respawns. You can continue to do this for the 20 times and it will then count to the trophy.
If you want you can have both methods on the list but I’m surprised no one tried this sooner!
Hey, sorry bit late to this game. How do I get more components after finishing main story? I heard contracts do not give you enough, I need 1400 plus for the tools trophy. To the traders restock daily? I have enough money to keep buying but alarmed that it’s taking so long to restock. Grinding in chests sounds a nightmare ahhh
Good guide. The trophy “Blade in the crowd” to me it only counted kills with the merchant groups, the trophy icon is the group in the game you have to hire using a green coin.
Not sure if it’s a bug or glitch, i almost went crazy when killed 30+ guards in the “normal” crowd and nothing, only popped using the merchant.
