Where to find all Assassin's Creed Mirage Mysterious Shards

There are 10 Assassin’s Creed Mirage Mysterious Shards to find around Baghdad. Collect them all and you can unlock the Assassin's Creed Mirage secret armor and weapons. The Shards themselves are part of a collection of Isu artifacts carried around by members of the Order of the Ancients you'll find wandering around in Assassin’s Creed Mirage. They can be quite easy to find by accident as you walk around and spot the icon on your compass, but the Baghdad map is pretty big so not all the shards are easy to just walk into. For that reason I’ve laid out the locations for all 10 of the Mysterious Shards in Assassin’s Creed Mirage below to help you.

Assassin's Creed Mirage Mysterious Shard locations

There are 10 Mysterious Shards to collect, with each map zone containing two – so that’s eight across the four main city zones and two in the desert wilderness area. To get each one you can either be stealthy and pickpocket them off their Tha’abeen member owner. Or just assassinate them to loot the body add their Mysterious Shard to you collection. Either way this will also contribute to the investigation case from Nehal called “The Calling”.

Below are maps showing the general area of where I found each Mysterious Shard, and a few more specific locations. Just be aware that because all the shard holders wander around, they might not be in the exact same spots for you. Be sure to track them using your compass and map whenever possible – the Mysterious Shard icon should appear on your compass when you happen to get within 100m or so!

Here's a Baghdad map of all the mysterious shards you can find there:  

1. Harbiyah Shard 1: Just outside Damascus Gate in the Quadrangle of the Persians area of Harbiyah.
2. Harbiyah Shard 2: Near the Upper Harbor in the eastern Khuld area of Harbiyah.  
3. Abbasiyah Shard 1: Near the Four Markets location in the Suburb of Kahtabah area on the east side of Abbasiyah.
4. Abbasiyah Shard 2: Next to the archway southwest of the Tax Collector’s Mansion in the Fief of Rayasanah area of Karhk. The archway itself is on the border between the fief area in Karhk and the Haylanah area of Abbasiyah.
5. Karhk Shard 1: Near the west entrance of the Bazaar in the Tabik area of Karhk.
6. Khark Shard 2: Near a scaffolding archway northeast of the Confiscation Warehouse and northwest of Sharqiyah Gate. The archway is on the border between the Sharqiyah and Tabik areas of Karhk.
7. Round City Shard 1: In the Round City’s Administrative District, near the northernmost viewpoint and the Mazalim Courts.
8. Round City Shard 2: Near the Kufa Gate on the southwestern border of the Round City. Follow the gate road northeast towards the main palace and you’ll the Tha’abeen member should be nearby.

9. Wilderness Shard 1: In the western part of Anbar across the bridge. Anbar is northwest of Baghdad across the ‘Aqarquf Dunes.

10. Wilderness Shard 2: Around the west side of the town of Jarjarayah, which is south-southeast of Baghdad on the bank of the river Tigris.

Once you have all the Mysterious Shards take them to the hidden temple found below the Northern Oasis. There you’ll be able to unlock the special secret armor, sword, and dagger to give Basim some unique powers, including disorienting lightning bolts and double damage at the expense of reduced maximum health.
