If you are tracking down the best dagger in Assassin's Creed Mirage, we have you covered. Assassin's Creed Mirage may not be a massive RPG like the previous games, but there are still plenty of armour and weapons to acquire and equip.

Getting your hands on the best dagger in the game will make you much stronger in combat, and keep you alive as it even heals you. Here is how to unlock the best dagger in Assassin's Creed Mirage.

What is the best dagger in Assassin's Creed Mirage?

From our experience, we recommend the Isu dagger called The Samsaama. This legendary weapon is very powerful and reasonably easy to get your hands on. You can get it relatively early in the game, but you do need to make some progress before this Isu weapon becomes available.

How to get The Samsaama dagger

Make your way through the main story up until the point where Nehal tells Basim about the Isu symbols, her investigation, and how she sensed something ancient near the oasis to the north.

Travel to the oasis in the center of the desert in the northern part of the map, then dive down into the water. You will find an entrance under the water - go through it and follow the cave until you enter a room with three doors covered by forcefields.

If you approach any of the pedestals in front of the doors, you will be asked for Mysterious Shards. These items are held by members of the Order who can be found around Baghdad. There are ten of them to find, if you check your map you will see which regions of the city the shard holders are in.

Travel to the areas where the Mysterious Shards can be found, then use Enkidu to locate the Order member, who will glow red once found. Pickpocket the shards, then once you have enough you can return to the Isu cave. There are ten in total, but you only need two for the dagger. That said, it is worth your while to collect them all as the full set is very powerful.

Insert the Mysterious Shards into the pedestal in front of the dagger (on the left as you enter) to lower the shield and retrieve The Samsaama.

The unique ability of the Samsaama dagger is that it heals you for 10% of your health on every fifth hit. This makes it particularly great for sustained combat, as the more hits you get in, the more you keep your health topped up.

Furthermore, the dagger comes fully upgraded, meaning you get a really strong dagger for just a bit of busy work, and you don't need to go through the hassle of upgrading it yourself.
