The best thing about the Assassin’s Creed franchise is the social stealth elements. Even if the entries with heavy RPG features dropped the ball, Mirage brought many things back to make the game an assassin’s paradise. However, some like to fight enemies face-to-face, and this installment offers many ways to do that. Yet, those who want to take out the endless hordes of guards in Baghdad might want to look for the best armaments. If that’s your case, here’s a list of the best 6 weapons in Assassin’s Creed Mirage.
Assassin’s Creed Mirage: Best 6 Weapons to Get First
This time, Basim isn’t a walking arsenal like his other Assassin buddies in Greek or Nordic lands. He only needs a good sword and a trusty dagger to finish the job. Still, the game has many ones to choose from, which is why we made a list of the best weapons you can get first in Assassin’s Creed Mirage.

1. Initiate of Alamut Sword
- Obtainable during the game’s prologue by progressing through the “A New Beginning” mission.
The Initiate of Alamut Sword is the first good weapon you’ll get in the game, and it can carry you through this entry’s latest chapters. It has fantastic defensive capabilities that’ll let you retaliate against your enemies with more strength. If you’re confident about your parrying skills, you can’t go wrong with this blade.
2. Zanji Uprising Sword
- Found inside a gear chest in the Harbiyah region.
If you’re not too confident about parrying, there’s a weapon that’ll let you bring the rolling frenzy you can find in some Souls games. The Zanji Uprising Sword is perfect for those who can dodge at the last moment. If you manage to pull it off, you can then strike the enemy back with increased potency, making this weapon a high-risk, high-reward one.
3. Rostam Sword
- Finish the “Weapons Dealer” contract.
We’ve discussed weapons that lean onto defensive tactics; now, let’s discuss one worthy of a berserker. The Rostam Sword is one of the best weapons in Assassin’s Creed Mirage that you’ll get after fulfilling an optional contract. This sword increased its damage with every hit, making it fantastic for those relentless assassins. If you’re all about aggressive attacks and don’t care much about stealth, this weapon is for you.

4. Hidden One Dagger
- Found in the Wilderness. Head North, and use Enkidu to mark the first chest you spot while facing the said direction.
If you want to explore outside the walls of Baghdad, you’ll have the opportunity to find the Hidden One Dagger. This weapon’s skill is situational, as you must attack poisoned enemies with it to activate the ability. What this dagger does is create a poison cloud if you attack an enemy under the poison effect. You’ll need to use your tools or other weapons for that, but if you manage to do this, you’ll be a damage-over-time assassin.
5. Initiate of Alamut Dagger
- Obtainable during the game’s prologue by progressing through the “A New Beginning” mission.
Like the Alamut Sword, you’ll get this during the game’s first missions. This weapon, as you might’ve guessed, works perfectly with the blade from the same set. When you parry, you’ll damage the enemy’s defense, leaving them open for a deadly blow. We recommend combining this dagger with the Rostam Sword if you don’t want to give your enemies quarter or breathing room.
6. Rostam Dagger
- Obtainable as a reward from “The Satiric Poet” contract.
We couldn’t mention the blade without bringing up the dagger. This dagger is great for those who want to use every tool in their repertoire regardless of the distance. This weapon increases the damage of your throwing knives at a close distance, making it a must for those who like using tools in combat. Plus, if you pick the right skills, you can recover all the knives you throw during combat.
