There is a harbor in the northeastern part of medieval Baghdad. The plot of AC Mirage will take the protagonist there quite early. His goal will be to contact the mysterious Beshi and free the rebels arrested by the guards.
Even though Upper Harbor is swarming with guards, it's still worth checking this restricted area. Besides a story mission taking place in this location, the ship moored in the harbor has an extremely interesting treasure. However, to get to it, you will have to solve a tricky puzzle requiring you to move crates. This page will help you with that.
How to get on the ship?
The ship docked in the harbor is part of a larger guarded zone. To get on board, you will have to sneak or eliminate enemies. Fortunately, the game has generously placed environmental elements in this area, which will make the entire process easier for you.
At the very beginning, we recommend hiring a street musician, who for 1 scholar token will distract some guards (you can find more about finding and using tokens on this guide page). Then sneak into the area from the right side. After eliminating/sneaking past a few single enemies, hide in a small building in the middle of the area.
From there, quickly climb onto the crane next to the ship. At its top, use throwing knives to cut the rope holding the goods. The cargo will fall on the heads of the two guards standing below. You can easily kill the last guard patrolling the ship itself by jumping on him from the ropes suspended above the deck.
How to solve the puzzle with the chests?
The cabin with chests is located to the left of the gangway. You have to maneuver the cargo in such a way as to clear the path to the golden gear chest. The above video will show you solution for the puzzle.
The reward will be a special outfit for Basim - Zanj Uprising Outfit.
