Assassin’s Creed Mirage has plenty of collectables for eagle-eyed players to find, and one such collectable is enigmas. These puzzling letters and drawings will lead Basim in the direction of treasure such as talismans and outfit dyes, if you can wrap your brain around them.

The A Holy Hoard enigma features a drawing of what looks like some religious buildings, with a red cross marking the location of our treasure. If you’re not sure where to begin when hunting this particular enigma down, here’s the A Holy Hoard enigma solution in Assassin’s Creed Mirage.


Where to find the A Holy Hoard enigma in Assassin’s Creed Mirage

If you’re yet to track the A Holy Hoard enigma down in Assassin’s Creed Mirage, it can be found in the Khuld area of Harbiyah between the Prince’s Gate and Khurasan Gate Guardhouse.

As always, if you’ve visited this area before, the enigma will appear as a golden scroll icon on your world map and HUD. If you’ve already retrieved it, it’ll appear as a white cross on your world map instead. All of your unsolved enigmas can then be found in Basim’s bag in your inventory.

If you make your way to the Prince’s Gate and follow the wall to the west, you will find a small building that you can enter. Go inside and the enigma will be on a small shelf in this room.

That said, there are a lot of buildings that this could be around Mirage’s Baghdad. Alas, if you’ve visited this place before, the trees and crosses above the entrance will help you with working out exactly where it is, and that’s the Nestorian Monastery.

You’ll want to go north past the Upper Harbor and through the Ditch Sluice of the Fief to reach the area. Once you get there, there is a viewpoint, Tale of Baghdad, and a lost book to retrieve here. First, though, let’s find our treasure!

If you look at the A Holy Hoard enigma clue, you’ll see that our treasure is by a tree behind the monastery. Go round the back of the monastery, where the coast is, and look for a large tree by some broken boats in the northeast corner of the area.
