It wouldn't be an Assassin's Creed without an incredible set of armor that's only obtainable by completing a specific set of tasks. In Assassin's Creed Mirage Basim can don the Isu Armor inspired by the technology of those in the past and in this Assassin's Creed Mirage Isu Armor Guide we'll show you how to get it.
Assassin's Creed Mirage Isu Armor - Start The Quest
After defeating the first member of The Order, Al-Ghul The Slaver, you'll run into your childhood friend Nihal again. Once you start speaking with her she'll tell you she's been investigating some of the strange symbols you saw so many years ago.
With that she'll also tell you she felt something "ancient" calling to her to the north of the Dunes as she was headed to the Oasis.
Assassin's Creed Mirage Isu Armor - Hidden Cave
The location that Nihal is telling you about is a Hidden cave at the Oasis to the northwest of Alamut and to the North of the Dunes.
Once you reach the oasis you need to dive into the water. Keep diving down and you'll find a cave entrance and an air pocket. Inside are three pedestals where you can spend your Mysterious Shards at to obtain Isu-inspired gear.
The Isu gear in Assassin's Creed Mirage is a Dagger, a Sword, and an Armor set.
Assassin's Creed Mirage Isu Armor - Mysterious Shards
In order to purchase the Isu armor in Assassin's Creed Mirage you need to collect the Mysterious Shards that are scattered around Baghdad and it's surrounding regions. Each of the regions of the game will have two Mysterious Shards that you can obtain.
You can obtain these shards in a number of ways. You can pickpocket them from the possessor or murder them. The easiest way to obtain these items though is by killing the possessor from a distance. Unlike looting other items off enemies you can use a throwing dagger to kill them from a distance and you'll still obtain the Mysterious Shard.
You can purchase the dagger, sword, and armor as soon as you've collected enough of the Mysterious Shards so you don't need to only return when you've got them all. Make sure you're checking back when you can.
Assassin's Creed Mirage Isu Armor and Weapons
Once you've collected the Mysterious Shards you can purchase all of the Isu armor and weapon pieces. Their stats are around the same as the standard items that you'll have access to but their abilities are far different.
The focus of these abilities is to promote even further the idea of stealth as the most important factor of Assassin's Creed Mirage. It's far batter to lash out in the shadows for powerful damage, than end up in a fistfight.
The Isu Armor and Weapons of Assassin's Creed Mirage are as follows:
For 2 shards, you can purchase the Samsaama Dagger. It's description reads
Ancient magic steals life force for the wielder
- Dmg 27
- Def. Dmg 47
- Life Steal - Every fifth hit heals Basim for 10% of his health
For 3 shards, you can purchase the Shamshir-e Zomorrodnegar Sword. Its description reads:
The Isu sacrificed much to destroy their foes
- Dmg 46
- Def. Dmg 78
- Blood Prince - Maximum health is lowered by 50% but damage is increase by 50%
For 5 shards, you can purchase Milad's outfit. Its description reads:
Unseen Isu energies overwhelm the weak-minded
- Forgotten Terror - Successful Air Assassinations set off a flash of lightning to disorient bystanders within a 15m radium
The Isu weapons and armor aren't quite the "super armor" that they've been in the past but if you're a specifically stealthy player then that extra 50% damage is a big boon. It doesn't matter what your health is when you're doing 150% damage.
The Isu Armor harkens back to the ages 70+ thousand years ago when the Isu first were in charge of the world. That means in a very ancient setting you'll be equipping yourself with a futuristic set of armor.
