Assassin's Creed Mirage is officially out, and most players have been having a blast playing as Basim. Originally a thief, he has a life-changing experience, and he ends up joining the assassins to fight the Order. On his journey, Basim will encounter many enemies, some of whom are easy to defeat while others require hard work.

The lesser enemies rely on their sheer numbers to bring down the players. No one likes dying at the hands of random guards, which is why choosing the right difficulty in Assassin's Creed Mirage is important. If players end up selecting the wrong one, it could ruin their playthrough.

Difficulty Differences In Assassin's Creed Mirage

Players will find three difficult options when they start their adventure in Assassin's Creed Mirage. These are:

  • Easy
  • Normal
  • Hard

As always, Easy will be the preferred choice for those wanting to experience mainly the story of Assassin's Creed Mirage. Playing on this particular difficulty means that players will have a noticeably trouble-free experience. Easy lowers enemies' defection speed and searching time. This can save a lot of time and allow players to quickly progress through the story. It also makes pickpocketing easier, enabling players to rack up money, tokens, and other items at a faster rate. Finally, choosing the Easy difficulty means that the damage received from enemies and their resistance to attacks will be reduced. So, players can take them down quickly and more efficiently.

Most people will opt for Normal difficulty, which falls between Easy and Hard. Given the fact that it is next in line after Easy, it offers a more challenging experience. On Normal difficulty, enemies will not let Basim off as easily. Everything from enemy resistance to pickpocketing is more difficult. Players should select Normal difficulty in Assassin's Creed Mirage only if they want better balance.

The final difficulty in Assassin's Creed Mirage is Hard. In this mode, the overall game becomes much tougher. The detection speed and search time of enemies are increased. Pickpocketing NPCs is harder and requires much more attention to carry out successfully. Enemy resistance and damage are also enhanced. Clearly, the Hard difficulty is meant for players who want to test the extent of their skills. The game becomes challenging and requires absolute focus even while dealing with lesser enemies.

How To Change Difficulty In Assassin's Creed Mirage

If players choose the wrong difficulty at the beginning, they can change it later. To do so, pause the game, then push the touchpad on the PS5 controller. Scroll down to Options, press X, and then use the R1 button to open the Gameplay Menu. Navigate to Difficulty, and select the one that is most suitable.

Assassin's Creed Mirage is now available on PS5, PS4, PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
