Blade in the Crowd Trophy Not Working – How to get it? AC Mirage

Assassin’s Creed Mirage has had a great launch, but there are still a few bugs here and there that need to be ironed out. Recently, players have discovered a new bug that makes the Blade in the Crowd Trophy unachievable.

The trophy doesn’t pop up even if players do the work required to achieve it. It’s a simple bug, but it can hinder progression for players aiming for a completionist run. Before we get into the solutions, let’s dive into the trophy itself and how to get it.

1. How to get the Blade in the Crowd Trophy in Assassin’s Creed Mirage?

To get the Blade in the Crowd Trophy, players need to assassinate 10 guards while blending in a crowd. The easiest way to do so is by travelling to the Damascus Gate Prison, going to the courtyard, and killing the guards there.

The area’s filled with small crowds with guards patrolling it, making it perfect for you to make your move. Blend in the crowd and whistle to lure enemies in and kill them when they’re close enough. 

Whatever you do, make sure you’re blended in with a crowd; otherwise, the game won’t count the kills for the trophy. If you run out of enemies, you can leave, and fast travel away and then head back again to repeat the process on newly spawned enemies.

Another easy way to get this trophy is by hiring Merchant groups with Merchant Tokens. Take them to the Damascus Gate Prison courtyard, then Focus Assassinate all the guards while using them as cover, and that’s it.

While the trophy isn’t hard to get, it’s bugged for many players, which prevents them from getting it. If you’re one of the unfortunate ones who just can’t seem to get it even after killing a lot of guards while blending in, don’t worry, as there’s a fix for it.

3. 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.
