The Satiric Poet is one of the first five contracts you will be able to pick up in Assassin’s Creed: Mirage. This contract gives you Scholar Favor Tokens and a new dagger called the Rostam Dagger upon completion. This mission tasks you with moving a poet to safety and asks you not to take damage in the process for an extra reward. The guide below goes over how to start the Satiric Poet and how to easily complete the contract without taking any damage.
You will find the Satiric Poet contract at the Hidden One’s Bureau on the contract board.
When Does The Satiric Poet Contract Become Available?¶
The Satiric Poet contract will appear in the first set of five contracts you get in Mirage. These appear directly after you finish the Zeroing In main quest. To claim this quest go to the Hidden One’s Bureau. On the wall inside, you will see the contract board. Interact with it and move over until you see the Satiric Poet. Take note of the rewards, and the contractor’s request to not take any damage. Once you are ready to take it, remove it from the board. You can now find it in the contract session of your investigations menu. Open this session and track it to mark it on your map.
How To Guide The Satiric Poet to Safety¶
You will be headed to an area directly across the river from the Soap Boiler’s District in the Quadrangle of The Persians. Once near the quest marker, unleash your falcon into the sky, and follow the yellow marker to hone in on the location of the Satiric Poet. Once you have him marked, head over and speak with him under the doorway. He will tell you he made some enemies and needs you to guide him to safety. For this mission, the additional request is that you don’t take any damage while helping the Satiric Poet to safety. Proceed to follow him, he will stop shortly after you begin the walk as a board blocks the road forward. Break it down with an attack and he will begin moving again. In our playthrough several NPCs kept hanging close to the door, wait for them to move before hitting it to avoid attracting the guard’s attention.
(1 of 5) Once you get to the quest marker, use your falcon to hone in on the poet’s location.
You will now start following the poet down the newly opened road, soon though, you will stop at a courtyard where a young man is being kept by the guards. The poet will reveal that the young man is his nephew and ask you to save him. The Poet will hide behind some nearby crates until you clear the courtyard. There are five guards that you need to take out here, we recommend that you start with the archers up top. The first archer will keep his back to you, so sneak up behind him and kill him quickly with an assassination. The second archer can be taken care of in the same method or by luring him into the flower bed directly behind him.
For the three guards on the ground, there are a couple of different ways to deal with them. You can either use the flower beds around the square and the flower pile in the middle of the square to lure them over and kill them. If you have throwing knives, then you can easily assassinate them from the second archer’s spot. Watch to see how much health will be taken off when you hit them. You don’t want to throw a knife until it’s confirmed that you have a kill. If you can’t reach the guard directly below you, then just move over the top of his position and assassinate him from above. After the area is clear, the Satiric Poet will begin moving along to the next area.
This time you will need to take care of four guards, three of which are hovering under a large doorway that you won’t be able to stealth your way around. You will find a loot chest with throwing knives on top of the building where the poet is hiding, and on the building almost directly across from the first loot chest. You will want to use the area near the second loot chest to use your new throwing knives on the guards. There’s really no other way to go around this without risking taking damage and gaining notoriety. Be sure to cut the rope on the nearby sandbags to get their attention if whistling isn’t working. Ideally, you should only aim for the guard’s heads when they are close enough to guarantee a kill. Once they are cleared out, the Satiric Poet will begin to walk again, after a short distance he will stop at his final destination at the start of the Abbasiyah Territory.
Speak with him here, he will give your reward of forty-five Components, two Scholar Favor Tokens, and the Rostam Dagger. If you complete the mission without taking damage, you will also receive 65 coins and two more Scholar Favor Tokens.
