One of the most confusing solutions to a mission you might come across in Assassin’s Creed Mirage is The Serpent’s Nest Book Puzzle found later in the game. The mission might seem easy initially to some of you but can turn out to be rather confusing due to one crucial detail that the game does not give you an idea about anywhere.
Now, before moving ahead with the guide, we would like to warn you about the potential spoilers that might hamper the surprise element. So if you wish to give the puzzle a try on your own first, you should turn back right now. With that warning out of the way, let us check out the Serpent’s Nest Book Puzzle solution.
How To Solve The Serpent’s Nest Book Puzzle
Initially, you will have already collected all four, different colored books that are an essential part of the mission. Now to solve the puzzle, simply follow the below steps:
- The mission begins when you reach the library and come across a poem that you will have to read to get the hints.
- Turns out the poem will connect the four different colored books – blue, yellow, white, and black to four different items that are a dove, a cobra, the desert, and the ocean.
- Now the easiest part of this puzzle is obviously matching which color book goes with which item and you could have figured that by now which is:
- Blue Book – Ocean
- Yellow Book – Desert
- Black Book – Cobra
- White Book – Dove
- So now you will have to head up to the stairs where you will find the altars where you have to place these four books in the right order to solve the puzzle.
- However, this is where it gets tricky if you go ahead and place the book in the above order from left to right, the puzzle won’t be solved and nothing will happen.
- This is due to a crucial detail that the game misses to inform you about, which is, similar to how Arabic is read and written from right to left, you need to place the books from right to left in the above order.
- So, the order that the books will go in will be the blue book sits to the extreme right, then the yellow book to the left of it, the black book follows, and then the white book to the extreme left.
Putting the books in this sequence will give you the Serpent’s Nest Book Puzzle solution. After that, you will witness a cutscene that will reveal a secret passage leading you to Qabiha in her secret chamber where you can kill her.
