The Throwback We’ve Been Waiting For: Basim’s Story
It’s been a ride of mixed emotions with Ubisoft’s recent titles, but Assassin’s Creed Mirage is the throwback fans have been dying for. If you’ve followed the series, you’ll immediately recognize Basim, who is now leading us through a rollercoaster of missions. We’re talking disguises, scaling structures, and assassinations that lead you to the pinnacle of the Order’s hierarchy. But it’s not all going to be a cakewalk; one member you’ve got to take down comes with a challenging yet captivating puzzle.
“This game follows the story of Basim, who a lot of the fans will be familiar with, and has them go to many locations assassinating individuals until the player reaches the Order’s highest members.”
The Quest that Ends in a Library: Where to Find the Book Puzzle
So you’re on a mission that leads you through the halls of a grand palace. The end goal? Qabiha, the Caliphate’s former concubine, who’s secretly the Head of the Snake. She’s holed up somewhere, but where? Well, the answer lies in a book puzzle located within the palace’s library.
“The Book puzzle will be found during the mission taking place in the palace, which will lead the player to Qabiha, the Caliphate’s former concubine, who’s revealed to be the Head of the Snake.”
Here’s the kicker: You can even get a helping hand from Makira, who’s also roaming the palace. Follow her discreetly, and she’ll lead you straight to the library where the puzzle is situated.
“The player can also secretly follow Makira as she will lead them to the library.”
Arib’s Poem: Your Ticket to Solving the Puzzle
As soon as you enter the library, you’re likely to come across a poem penned by Arib, which reads:
“Rage as the ocean, I’ll sweeten your storms.
Scorch as the desert, I’ll bathe in your heat.
Strike as the cobra, but plunge in my breast.
Soar as the dove, but alight in my nest.”
This isn’t just artistic flair; this is your guide. Keep your eyes peeled for four colored books: blue, yellow, black, and white.
Placing the Books: How to Solve It
It’s time to tie all these clues together. Head upstairs and you’ll see four podiums where you can place these books. But beware, order matters!
- Start by placing the blue book, symbolizing the oceans.
- Next, the yellow book takes its place, akin to the scorching desert.
- Follow this with the black book, representing the venomous cobra.
- Finally, put the white book, symbolizing the peaceful dove.
“The first book is the blue book, represented by the oceans. The second book is the yellow book, represented by the desert. The third book is the black one, represented by the cobra. The final book will be the white one, represented as the dove.”
Do this correctly, and voila! A hidden door opens, and you’re face-to-face with the Head of the Order.
