‘Den of the Beast’ Quest Glitch Fix and Walkthrough- Assassin’s Creed Mirage

‘Den of the Beast’ quest in Assassin’s Creed Mirage is a part of The Warlord Investigation, which requires players to assassinate Warlord Wasif a.k.a Al-Mardikhwar, in a Templar hideout located inside the Great Garrison. However, a game breaking glitch is causing players difficulty to progress through the mission.

During the ‘Follow the Steward’ objective in this mission, the Steward stops moving, resulting in a crucial cutscene not being triggered. This hinders the progress of the mission as the Steward is supposed to unlock a door to the Garrison to continue the mission.

To fix the ‘Den of the Beast’ quest glitch in AC Mirage:

Follow the brown key icon on your compass when the Steward is unable to move further.

First, you need to speak to Ali before this mission, who will be waiting for you on a rooftop opposite the Great Garrison. He will tell you that one of the stewards inside the Garrison is loyal to him. He can be found near the cookhouse and will help you once he notices your red sash.

Along with that, Ali will tell you his plan of freeing Beshi and the other rebels. Now what you need to do is go near the main entrance of the Garrison and eavesdrop nearby civilians. Through eavesdropping, you’ll be made aware of holes in the northern wall of the Garrison.

2. Entering the Garrison

At the top, you’ll notice a few guards whom you need to either assassinate or get past using distractions. It is recommended to reduce noise as much as possible. From the top, drop down to the lower platform just below it, which will be directly above a haystack just beside the cookhouse.

As soon as you enter the door inside Wasif’s room, a cutscene will trigger showing Wasif killing Beshi, which gives you more of a reason to eliminate him. Ali will also appear at the scene and fight the guards.

Your objective will be to defeat all the guards with the help of Ali. Once the fight ends, another cutscene will trigger. Ali will inform you that he will free the other rebels captured inside.

5. Finding the Warden to Free the Rebels

Continue inside the Garrison until you reach a locked door where the rebels are being held captive. The rebels will tell you that the warden has the key to their cells.

Go back outside and make your way to the upper level to find the warden. Activate your Eagle Vision to find a guard with a key icon above his head. That will be the warden, who is in possession of the key to the rebels’ cells.
