What are the Mysterious Shards used for?

You will learn about the Mysterious Shards after eliminating Al-Ghul, the first leader of the Order of the Ancients. The next missions will lead you into the Wilderness, to Anbaru, and then to the Northern Oasis. There, under the water, there is a secret passage leading to a hidden room. In that room you will find three gear chests, which can only be opened by spending shards. They contain the legendary, fully upgraded gear for Basim.

1. The first chest costs two shards. It contains the Samsaara, a dagger that heals Basim every fifth blow dealt.
2. The second chest costs three shards. It contains Shamshir-e Zomorrodnegar, a sword that halves Basim's health, but in return significantly increases inflicted damage.
3. The third chest costs five shards. It contains the Milad's Outfit that disorients nearby pedestrians when performing an air assassination.

There are two shards in each region. They are carried by the black-clad members of the Order of the Ancients who are escorted by the guards. They patrol the area and are automatically hostile, so they will attack you on sight. You can steal the shard, or take it after killing them. You will automatically receive it at the moment of the enemy's death, even if you killed him from a distance, for example with a throwing knife. If you have completed the investigation related to the discovery of the underwater chamber under the Oasis, these enemies will appear on the map.
