Assassin's Creed Unity Guide: Where to Find All 18 Nostradamus Enigma Symbols

Even after the single player campaign is complete and Arno Dorian's story has been told, there are still many things to see and do in Assassin's Creed Unity. One of the more popular options among players is to find and solve all 18 of the Nostradamus Enigmas, unlocking the Thomas De Carneillon armor, as well as the Accurate Prediction, and From the Past trophies and achievements in the process.

We won't lie to you, even with our help the journey is going to be a long one, but having completed it ourselves, we have a few tips to see that you don't make the same mistakes we did, as well as a full guide to show you exactly where you need to go, and what you will have to do.

• Spend some time synchronizing with the districts in Paris. This will open up the map and allow fast travel between points of interest. Synch points are indicated by Eagle icons on the map.
• Try to stay on street level when you're traveling on foot. While the rooftops will prevent you from running into pesky Extremists, the constant climbing and jumping will slow you down.
• Further to our previous tip, avoid Extremists and random events at all costs, unless you don't care about how long this takes. Simply run past Arno's enemies and toward your objective.
• Start points for each Enigma are found on your map. Look for an icon that resembles an ancient scroll, then match the puzzle name (Saturnus, for example) with our solutions down below.
• If you know you're in the general area where a riddle or solution is found, listen closely for a distinct sound that grows stronger as you get closer.
• Once you know you're within a few feet of the symbol, use your Eagle Vision to confirm its location and interact with it.
• Some of our map images are zoomed in to give you an idea of where a symbol is located within a building or small area. Note the district in the image to help you narrow down your search.

How to Unlock the Armor of Thomas De Carneillon

By returning to the Café Théâtre in the Ile de la Cité district, players can enter the underground section of the mansion to claim their reward for finding all 18 of the Nostradamus Enigmas. It should be noted that if this section of the mansion is blocked off, the mansion likely requires upgrades before it can be accessed.

Head down into the underground section, interacting with the console that sits just at the base of the stairs. This will unlock the door to the Cella Constellatio. After heading inside and dropping down, take note of the symbols on the floor. Players will need to reference these symbols with the ones lining the wall, then match up the pillars. This will open a door high up on the wall, one which can only be reached by climbing the pillars. Start at the ledge where you stool prior to dropping into the room.

With the previous puzzle complete, head back to the center console and interact with it to open the door to the Cella Astri. For this players must align the planets, and this can be done by interacting with the three consoles in front of them. To make this easy, here is how you unlock your reward.

• Interact with the left console three times
• The center pedestal need only be used once
• Adjust the third console three times

Go back out to the main area and once again interact with the console at the base of the stairs. This will open up the Cella Vaporis door, but instead of a riddle, players must use their parkour skills to navigate across the walls. This is complicated by steam that will knock Arno off the wall. Players can try to time and anticipate the steam, but we found success just moving as quickly as possible. It will not be unheard of for players to have to attempt this dozens of times.

With all three obstacles now taken care of, players can head to the room just above the mansion's training area and equip the Thomas De Carneillon armor.
