“You Snooze, You Lose” Achievement Guide – Assassin’s Creed Mirage

Assassin’s Creed Mirage has over 45 achievements for players to unlock, and some of them are a bit easier to unlock than the others. But we all know that completionists are going to go for all of them regardless of the difficulty because it’s satisfying and it’s what they do.

One such achievement is the You Snooze, You Lose achievement, which requires players to pickpocket a guard who’s been hit with a blowdart. Sounds easy, right? It is pretty easy to unlock, but there are some conditions that you must keep in mind.

To unlock the You Snooze, You Lose achievement in Assassin’s Creed Mirage, players need to:

• Find a guard carrying an item.
• Put them to sleep with a blowdart without killing them.
• Pickpocket them while the guard is temporarily sleeping.

It’s pretty straightforward, as long as you remember the conditions above and go for it. Before we get into the unlocking part, let’s first dive into the details of where to find a guard carrying an item since guards seldom have items on them.

1. How to find a guard carrying an item?

The best way to find a guard carrying an item that can be pickpocketed is by entering a stronghold or an area that contains a Mysterious Shard holder. Both of these items can be easily looted from sleeping guards.

Strongholds have locked doors that require keys to unlock, and they’re held by guards inside the restricted area, making it perfect for you to go and grab them. You can spot the guard carrying it by simply using either Eagle Vision or Enkidu.

Mysterious Shards are usually carried by enemies walking in small groups around Baghdad, which makes it an easier method as it eliminates the risk of entering a restricted area. But they will get hostile if you get close, so plan your moves.

2. How to unlock the You Snooze, You Lose achievement?

After locating a guard with a key or Mysterious Shards, players must hit the guard with a blowdart to put them to sleep temporarily. They can then pickpocket the guard while they’re still sleeping and unlock the achievement.

Remember, you won’t get the achievement if you kill the guard or pickpocket him after he’s awake. He has to be under the effect of the blowdart and temporarily sleeping for the achievement to unlock.

That’s all you need to know about unlocking the You Snooze, You Lose achievement in Assassin’s Creed Mirage.

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.
