The Assassin's Creed Mirage Excavation Site holds clues to find the missing Musa brother, but only after find the site southwest of Baghdad. You'll begin your investigation at the House of Wisdom into Ahmad ibn Musa's disappearance, which will get you a map from an assistant showing you a rough location of the order's guarded dig site in Assassin's Creed Mirage, though it's a bit vague. To save you time working it all out and get you there quickly, here's the exact location of the Assassin's Creed Mirage Excavation Site, and where you can find the clues.
Assassin's Creed Mirage Excavation Site location
The assistant at the House of Wisdom provides you with a map you can read by opening the Excavation Site case and selecting the related clue. It points to a rough location in the wilderness southwest of the Abbasiyah area of Baghdad - I've marked the precise location on the in-game map above, so use that to find the dig site more quickly.
Assassin's Creed Mirage Excavation Site chests and clues
When you get to the Excavation Site you'll find it's heavily guarded, so sneak around to find the clues you need if you don't want to deal with a huge fight. As we mention in our Assassin's Creed Mirage tips, this is a good chance to scout the whole area with Enkidu, marking guards and possible opportunities or issues ahead of dealing with them.
The chest you're looking for can be found in the southern part of the Excavation Site - use Eagle Vision as you explore to spot the glowing gold shape of the chest. You'll discover it's actually in a wall, although you just need to move the shelf to the left to get at the chest. Loot it and you'll pick up a letter revealing the missing Musa brother might be at the Bimaristan back in Baghdad, closing the Excavation Site case and allowing you to continue with the investigation. However, before you leave be sure to loot other chests to get various resources that'll help you upgrade Assassin's Creed Mirage outfits and weapons.
To make this objective easier, I recommend speaking to the mercenaries near the dig site entrance as they can be hired for one mercenary token to protect you – they'll rush to your aid if you're spotted by a guard, which should start a pretty big scrap, giving you a perfect opportunity to skulk about with Eagle Vision active to spot the chest you need.
