Lost Books in Assassin’s Creed Mirage are a type of collectible scattered throughout Baghdad. Each region has at least one of them, and there are a total seven that can be found. You need to collect each and give it to Al-Jahiz in the House of Wisdom to complete the quest connected to it.
Not only do you get rewards for completing the quest, but these Books also need to be found to 100% all districts in the game. Finding them isn’t really an easy task, but with this guide, we hope you can accomplish it with ease.
1. All Lost Books locations in Assassin’s Creed Mirage
Lost Book | Location |
Harbiyah Lost Book #1 | Nestorian Monastery |
Harbiyah Lost Book #2 | Great Mosque |
Abbasiyah Lost Book | Observatory |
Wilderness Lost Book | Tuesday Market |
Karkh Lost Book | Karkh Harbor Camp |

For every book you collect, you get a Skill Point which is always useful. In addition to that, you get one Scholar Token for each book you return and upon collecting and giving all of them to him, you obtain the Scholar Costume and unlock the Scholar Trophy / Achievement. With that out of the way, let’s get into it.
I. Harbiyah Lost Book #1
Book: Al-Tabari: Tafsir of Al-Tabari
Location: The Al-Tabari: Tafsir of Al-Tabari Lost Book is located in the Nestorian Monastery. The catch here is that the book’s located underground in the wine cellar. Head down, using steps leading down to the cellar on the Western side.
Down here, you’ll find three movable shelves. These block the way to the Book. What you’ll need to do is pull these shelves back and return to the original place where you found a dead end. Here, slide under the gap in the wall, turn left, and head through the curtains in front, and you’ll find what you’re looking for.
II. Harbiyah Lost Book #2
Book: Kalila wa-Dimna
Location: This book is not exactly located at the Great Mosque but in a building just Southwest of it, in the Quadrangle of the Persians District. Head to the southwestern side of this building and climb, as the front door is barred.
Enter through the window, and inside, at the bottom of the stairs, you’ll notice a red pot behind some metal bars. Use a Throwing Knife to detonate it, and go back outside to enter from the previously barred door. In the room, you’ll find the book on the left-hand side.
III. Abbasiyah Lost Book
Book: Al-Kwarizmi: Al-Jabr
Location: This book is located close to the House of Wisdom, at the westernmost point of the city, just West of the Observatory Viewpoint. Here, head to the door of the building in front and break the door.
Inside, pull back the bookshelf between the screens, and you’ll get access to the staircase. Head up the stairs, and you’ll find the Lost Book among some scrolls on the table.
IV. Wilderness Lost Book
Book: Suleiman al-Takir: Accounts of China and India
Location: This book is located in the South section of Wilderness, precisely in the Tuesday Markets, outside Pomegranate Gate. Head to the southern corner of the market’s main building and climb onto the red awnings.
After climbing up, you’ll be able to reach a balcony with an iron door. The Lost Book will be just beyond the door, but tread carefully as there’ll be a guard inside.
V. Karkh Lost Book
Book: The Banu Musa: Book of Ingenious Devices
Location: This book is located in a building next to the Harbor Camp in the Sharqiyah District. Its exact location is on the second floor of the building, on the river to the West of the Harbor Camp.
On the eastern side of the building, there’ll be a hiding spot with a blue curtain over it. Use that to climb and reach the platform above. Here, you’ll come across a window through which you’ll need to use a Throwing Knife and unbar the window on the opposite side.
When it’s done, head to the western side of the building and climb through the unbarred window. You’ll find the Lost Book on a table inside, along with some scrolls.
VI. Round City Lost Book
Book: Al-Sikkit: Diwan Abu Nu’as
Location: This book is located on the second floor of the Palace of the Green Dome. A thing that you should keep in mind is that you’ll only be able to enter the palace after the Serpent’s Nest mission.
Once you do the mission, the window inside which the book is located will be open. Drop down from the Viewpoint and head to the southeastern end of the balcony to get inside and collect the book.
VII. Secret Lost Book
Book: Kitab al-Azif
Location: This book won’t appear on the map like the other ones. Head to the swamp at the southeasternmost point of the map, and you’ll come across the Sulecia-on-the-Tigris ruins.
In the center of these ruins, you’ll notice a breakable patch on the ground that can be destroyed. Head up the ladder nearby and you’ll find two small throwable pots. Throw these from the top to destroy the patch on the ground and collect the final Lost Book.
That’s everything you need to know about the Lost Books in Assassin’s Creed Mirage.
2. 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.
