How To Increase Hidden Ones Rank
After completing the prologue and finishing up the Taking Flight mission, Basim is welcomed as an Initiate among the Hidden Ones. He trains day-in and day-out withRoshan, the Assassin who recruited him, to become worthy enough of the title. He is quickly sent back to the heart of Baghdad to hunt down members of the Order, the tyrannical and seemingly diabolical organization at odds with the Hidden Ones. Once Basim returns to the heart of Baghdad, he is instructed to investigate the identities of the main members of the Order. He befriends new allies, makes new enemies, and slays his way through the lower ranks of the Order and their sympathizers. He works alongside fellow Hidden Ones like Roshan, Fuladh, and Rebekah, while building relationships with rebellious souls like Ali.
Knowing that Basim begins as an Initiate means there is likely a pathway to increasing his Hidden Ones rank. This is true, and doing so does not require any excess effort outside progressing through the main story.In fact, Basim earns promotions within the Hidden Ones and increases his rank as he assassinates the senior officers of the Orde. Naturally progressing through the main story will rank up Basim while earning him a talisman for each promotion.

The above list is pretty simple to digest, and achieving each rank of assassin is equally straightforward. In Assassin’s Creed Mirage, completing specific missions mean a bit less than assassinating members of the Order. These do go hand-in-hand, however, as the main story sees Basim eliminating the Order one-by-one.The catch here is that Assassin’s Creed Mirage gives players a bit of freedom in choosing which investigations to follow, thus potentially changing the order of assassination targets. In the end, the difference in target is not significant, and the player cannot kill the ‘most important’ members of the Order first. Choose the paths that are interesting and pursue them; rank is not as important as one may think. In fact,completing side missions and other objectives before tackling the main scenario will provide Basim with additional skill points he would otherwise miss. These missions allow him to truly become a master assassin by beefing up his personal skill set. Finish off the hierarchy of the Order to achieve Master rank and enjoy all that comes with it.
