The A Challenge Enigma in Assassin's Creed Mirage will test your riddle solving skills and your ability with a throwing knife. If you don't have any knives in your inventory, we recommend stocking up on some as it can take a few attempts to get the knife in the right place later on.

Without further ado, we're here to show you how to solve the A Challenge Enigma in Assassin's Creed Mirage.

Look through the window and activate your Eagle Vision, then look inside to your left. You should see a red lock being highlighted on a small window here. You need to break this lock to get inside the building.

Use a throwing knife and aim it at the red lock here. There's a single knife to be collected outside of this window if you need one. Once you hit the lock, the window behind the lock will open. Head around to where the newly opened window is and climb inside the building.
