Besides the exquisite combat skills and mesmerizing Leap of Faith, stealth-based mechanics have always played an essential role in Assassin’s Creed stories, and Eavesdrop is one of them.

It somewhat limits your capabilities, but knowing all the nuances will allow you to continue to learn the secrets of the soldiers and nobility.
Assassin’s Creed Mirage: Eavesdrop Mechanics Explained
As we said, to Eavesdrop in Assassin’s Creed Mirage, you must fulfill several stealth-based requirements. But first, you should find a suitable target. The fact is that your character will not listen to the dialogue of a random passerby or lonely soldier since this simply does not make sense. Therefore, you should activate Eagle Vision and look for targets with a small speaker icon above their head. It is worth noting that there are not so many chatty NPCs in AC Mirage, but it is enough to know all the city gossip and essential quest dialogues.
Having found a suitable target, you should be as stealthy as possible so that the NPC does not stop talking. After you have ensured that the NPCs do not notice you, you should hide in a haystack, in a closet, in a crowd of people, or sit on the bench. It is an essential stage since any other methods of hiding will not work. Simply put, standing around the corner of a building or on a beam above your target’s head, you can not eavesdrop.
