You'll want to know how to find out the solution to the 'A Challenge' Enigma in Assassin's Creed Mirage if you want your cosmetic reward. Assassin's Creed games have always put a big focus on collectibles, with some older entries being infamous due to the amount of them. 

In Mirage, there are a wide variety of collectibles, but each requires you to engage with the mechanics more, whether it's pickpocketing for Dervis' Artifacts or deciphering riddles and maps for the Enigmas. If you want some in the game with the latter, check out our breakdown of the Assassin's Creed Mirage 'A Challenge' Enigma location, solution, and reward.

Where is the 'A Challenge' Enigma?

You can find the Assassin's Creed Mirage 'A Challenge' Enigma location in the Abbasiyah region (marked on the map above).

The exact location is on the west side of the region, south of the House of Wisdom, where the Enigma can be found on a small table on a wooden balcony.

You'll need to remain in the Abbasiyah region to figure out the 'A Challenge' solution and get your reward, as it can be found in a watermill to the east of the Observatory (marked on the map above). 

This Enigma is another letter, giving a series of instructions which point you toward the reward. In short, it directs you east from the Observatory to an island between the rivers running through Baghdad, where you can find three windmills. 

I found getting the reward for the Assassin's Creed Mirage 'A Challenge' Enigma to be a little more involved than some of the others, so follow these steps below directly:

  • Head to the westernmost watermill
  • Climb the building and head to the side with the wheel
  • You'll notice a window with two wooden posts

  • Look through the window and aim your throwing knife at the barred window to the left
  • Throw the knife and open the window
  • Head around to the opened window and jump inside

Once you're inside the mill, the 'A Challenge' Enigma reward can be found below, inside a walled-in pit. Head over and interact with the point to get the Black Rostam dye

That's all for our explanation of the Assassin's Creed Mirage 'A Challenge' Enigma, and now you know the location where to begin the Enigma, along with how to solve it and get your reward.
