As you progress through AC Mirage, you will eventually carry out investigation of a figure named Al Bahamut. Here is how to do it.
Al Bahamut is one of the targets in AC Mirage that requires investigation before we can assassinate him. You must gather clues to discover his identity and then take him out. However, the investigation of Al Bahamut will not appear until you have completed all the contracts you get in Karkh, Abbasiyah, and Sharqiyah Bureaus.
Once you have completed these contracts in the Branching Out chapter, a cutscene will trigger where Basim wakes up in his old house. Nehal and Basim will talk, and after the cutscene is over, you will be ready to gather the information regarding Al Bahamut.
There are a total of four cases that you need to complete to complete the Al Bahamut investigation. In this guide, we have prepared a detailed walkthrough of the investigation with all four cases. The Head of the Snake walkthrough
As mentioned above, you must complete four cases to gather all the information regarding the Al Bahamut investigation in AC Mirage. The foremost quest in this investigation is The Head of the Snake mission. So, open the Investigation Tab and select The Head of the Snake mission. You will get the objective of tracking Roshan and Fuladh’s lead.
In addition, you will also get a quest marker leading to your destination, Harbiyah Bureau. Either fast travel or parkour all the way to reach the location. After arriving, Basim and Roshan will discuss the potential suspects, which are likely to be Al Bahamut, leader of the Order of the Ancients.
These names are Muhammad, the Governer, Qabiha, the Concubine, and Arib, the Poet. Basim’s job is to investigate each suspect and see which one is Al Bahamut. It is up to you which name you want to investigate first. However, we will go to Arib first, then Qabiha, and lastly, Muhammad. Find Arib
To investigate Arib, the Poet, open the Investigation Tab and select The Poetess’ Abode to get the objective of finding Arib. Upon looking at the map, you will see the Arib’s location southwest of Round City. This is the next part of the Al Bahamut investigation in AC Mirage.
Follow the marker to the Arib’s house northwest of Kufa Gate. Upon interacting and hearing her conversation with her Patron, Basim will knock. The patron will answer the door but will refuse to let Basim meet Arib. He will further mention that there is no need to be the Order’s spy because she has sent all of the Order’s letters back to the Postal Bureau. The Postal Bureau
You need to go to the Postal Bureau to dig through the letters in the Al Bahamut investigation in AC Mirage. If you do not see the quest marker to the location, select it via the Investigation Tab. Follow the marker leading to the Order’s letters.
However, the guard at the gate will not allow you to enter the Bureau. Looks like Basim needs to find another way to get inside. Travel to the west of the Bureau and climb up to the top. Take out the guards watching the tower.
Now, look at the hatch to kill the fourth and final guard at the top. Follow the route inside and drop down the ladder. Take out the guard overlooking the Bureau on your left. Use eagle mode to see the locations of all the guards inside.
Stealthily kill all the guards to avoid getting caught and to investigate in peace. Once all the foes are dead, look around to find the letter. There will be many letters with markers, but Arib’s letter will be on the table northwest of the Bureau, by the locked door, as shown in the image above. The Garden Recital
Now, you need to find Arib and show her the letter in the Al Bahamut Investigation in AC Mirage. Track the Garden Recital via the Investigation Tab to gain a marker to the location. Once you have the letter and the marker, sneak out of the Bureau and walk towards the recital.
After entering the recital, sit on the marked seat to trigger a cutscene.
