If there’s one thing that an assassin needs, it is a plethora of tools to let them take down their enemies faster. This is no exception when it comes to Basim. Assassin’s Creed Mirage features several tools you can obtain and upgrade to make your assassinations much easier. Yet, those eager assassins might have to wait until they have the best tools for their repertoire. But don’t fret because here we have an in-depth guide with every material you need to make your gadgets the deadliest.
Assassin’s Creed Mirage: How to Unlock Tools
To unlock tools in Assassin’s Creed Mirage, you must finish the prologue first. After a few cutscenes and training montages, you’ll find yourself in Baghdad again, ready to make your way through the ranks of the Hidden One. To unlock tools, head to one of The Banu Musa siblings inside a Hidden Ones Bureau. They will give you a crash course in tools and let you get the first one.
After that, to get more tools, you must invest skill points in the Trickster skill tree. These are the ones you should get to increase your tools’ capacity:
- Extra Tool Capacity 1: 2 Skill Points
- Extra Tool Capacity 2: 2 Skill Points
- Extra Tool Capacity 3: 2 Skill Points
Each skill will allow you to unlock new tools, with you having 5 tools by the end of the game. The torch doesn’t count as a tool, as it can’t be upgraded.
