Assassin’s Creed Mirage: Where to find the Excavation Site (Find the Missing Brother)

Find the Missing Brother is a main storyline quest in Assassin’s Creed Mirage that will see you venture across ancient Baghdad. The Excavation Site is a location you eventually need to find, although you won’t be given a quest marker to find this important area.

For most important quest locations in Assassin’s Creed Mirage, you will have a waypoint at the top of your HUD that at least points you in the general area you need to go. When it comes to finding the Excavation Site in Find the Missing Brother, however, you need to piece together its position on the map through a crudely drawn map.

If you just want to skip all the extra steps and simply find the Excavation Site in Assassin’s Creed Mirage yourself, here’s where you need to go.

Where is the Excavation Site in Assassin’s Creed Mirage?

After getting Hamid to provide you with a map pointing to the Excavation Site by completing the House of Wisdom portion of the Find the Missing Brother quest, you can go into your Investigations menu and open the site map yourself. Here you will see a red “X” that marks the location of the Excavation Site, although the supposed landmarks around this spot aren’t too apparent.

The Excavation Site is south of an Oasis marked on your map and even further south of Abbasiyah. Use the map above for reference. To find this spot, you need to go fairly far out into the wilderness. This will be the perfect excuse to call your mount in AC Mirage and travel faster to the location.

How to infiltrate the Excavation Site in Assassin’s Creed Mirage

Now that you have reached the Excavation Site in Assassin’s Creed Mirage, it’s time to enter this restricted area to find your clues. Outside of the restricted area is a band of mercenaries overlooking the dig. Though these resemble the enemies you commonly fight in the city, these guys can actually be your allies for one Power Favor Token.

Aside from this, you can simply sneak into the Excavation Site yourself and avoid detection by sneaking around the dig site. Given the sheer number of areas you can cover, I actually found this one of the easiest locations in Mirage to remain undetected.

The chest you need to find in this section of the quest is hidden behind a moveable platform found at the southeastern edge of the Excavation Site. After clearing out the guards, simply move the furniture to the left and you will have your clues.

You’ll need to remain undetected while opening the chest and you can use Enkidu to tag all of them. When you find the clue at the site, you’ll learn that Ahmad could be at the hospital. The remaining part of the quest will have you travel to Great Bimaristan.

At Great Bimaristan, you’ll eventually find Ahmad, and the case of the Find the Missing Brother will be closed after your talk.
