Pro Tip: Activate Eagle Vision and look out for a white soundwave circle on-screen. This will tell you the distance Basim needs to be within to hear the conversation.

Basim will be first tasked with eavesdropping during the Follow Nur’s Lead mission where he has to listen in on a discussion between two guards. However, you can also eavesdrop whenever an opportunity arises.

  • Summon Basim’s eagle friend Enkidu to scope out the area.
  • Look out for an orange icon resembling a speaker in your worldview and heads-up display.
  • Quickly get into position and start eavesdropping once the prompt appears.

2. Tips for Eavesdropping in AC Mirage

  • Make sure Basim is extra quiet when approaching his hiding place. Guards always investigate any suspicious sounds and if they do so then you can lose the ability to eavesdrop.

  • Be aware of your surroundings when leaving your position after eavesdropping. Patrolling guards can change their routes so ensure that you don’t run into one!

3. Eavesdropping Glitch in AC Mirage & How to Fix it

Multiple players have reported failed eavesdropping attempts, even after doing every step correctly. This might happen after Basim is in position, but no prompt appears on-screen.

While this issue is not entirely common, it can be a frustrating problem for those who do encounter it. Ubisoft is yet to come up with a fix for it but here’s what you can do instead.

  • Identify your target correctly.
  • Test your controls on any passerby before beginning the quest. R3 on Xbox, R-stick on PlayStation and mouse button on PC should toggle target lock and the left button on controllers and V on PC should toggle Eagle Vision.
  • Once everything is good to go, lock on and wait for the eavesdropping prompt to pop up.

Well, that’s all you need to know about eavesdropping in Assassin’s Creed Mirage. Just be aware of everything around you and stay out of trouble. Happy eavesdropping!

About Assassin’s Creed Mirage

Assassin’s Creed Mirage is an action-adventure game developed by Ubisoft Bordeaux and published by Ubisoft. The game is the thirteenth primary installment in the Assassin’s Creed series and the successor to 2020’s Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. While its historical timeframe precedes that of Valhalla, its modern-day framing story succeeds Valhalla’s own.

Set in 9th-century Baghdad during the Islamic Golden Age—in particular during the Anarchy at Samarra—the story follows Basim Ibn Ishaq (a character first introduced in Valhalla), a street thief who joins the Hidden Ones to fight for peace and liberty against the Order of the Ancients,[b] who desire peace through control. The main narrative focuses on Basim’s internal struggle between his duties as a Hidden One and his desire to uncover his mysterious past.
