Harbiyah Gear Chests – 6
Harbiyah has six Gear Chests: the Zanj Uprising Outfit and the Zanj Uprising Sword, plus two upgrade schematics for each. Most of them are locked away behind shelf puzzles or barred doors.
1 – Zanj Uprising Outfit
2 – Zanj Uprising Outfit Schematic
3 – Zanj Uprising Outfit Schematic
4 – Zanj Uprising Sword
5 – Zanj Uprising Sword Upgrade Schematic
6 – Zanj Uprising Sword Upgrade Schematic
1 – Zanj Uprising Outfit
Location: On board the boat at the Upper Harbor
You come here during the Ali ibn Muhammad investigation, when you free one of the rebels on the boat. Grab the Gear Chest while you are on board. The room below deck is blocked by movable shelves.
There is enough room to push the shelves to the sides. Rearrange them until you can reach the back of the room, where the chest is.
2 – Zanj Uprising Outfit Schematic
Location: Roof of the Khurasan Gate Guardhouse
Head to the Khurasan Gate Guardhouse. An elevator rope takes you up to the top of the courtyard wall.
On the roof is a fenced-in area with the chest inside, guarded by another shelf puzzle. There is a terracotta pot behind the shelf. Destroy it with your knife first, so you can push the shelf to the back. Then destroy the other terracotta pots and slide through to the chest.
3 – Zanj Uprising Outfit Schematic
Location: Inside the Prince’s Palace, ground level
The Prince’s Palace is heavily guarded, but the interior is small. Once you are inside and have dealt with the guards, the chest is easy to reach on ground level.
4 – Zanj Uprising Sword
Location: Damascus Gate Prison, below the main entrance
Just below the guards at the prison’s main entrance is a room with a barred door.
Go around to the other side of the door. There is a hole in the metal fence, where you can throw a knife through to open the door. Then walk back and through the door to the chest.
5 – Zanj Uprising Sword Upgrade Schematic
Location: Guard tower at the Metal Factory, upper floor
The chest is heavily guarded behind a barred door on the upper floor of the guard tower.
Go to the other side of the door. Throw a knife through the small open window to destroy the barrier, then go through the door to the chest.
6 – Zanj Uprising Sword Upgrade Schematic
Location: Center building of the Soap Boiler’s District
The second sword schematic is in the protected area of the Soap Boiler’s District. Look for the center building with the colorful soaps spread out in front of it.
Enter at ground level and destroy the ceiling with one or two throwing knives. Then climb up and open the chest.
Harbiyah Lost Books – 2
There are two Lost Books in Harbiyah: Al-Tabari: Tafsir of Al-Tabari and Kalila wa-Dimna. Both are hidden behind puzzles.
1 – Al-Tabari: Tafsir of Al-Tabari
2 – Kalila wa-Dimna
1 – Al-Tabari: Tafsir of Al-Tabari
Location: Secret basement near the Nestorian Monastery
Find the secret basement entrance near the Nestorian Monastery.
The basement has another moving shelf puzzle. On one side is a blocked slide-through passage at the bottom of a wall. You can move two shelves to free it, but it is still blocked on the other side of the wall.
On the other side of the basement is a shelf you can pull all the way towards you. This opens the blocked passage, and you can slide through to the other side of the room.
The Lost Book is on a bookshelf behind a curtain.
2 – Kalila wa-Dimna
Location: Building with a barred door, together with the Kalila and Dimna Historical Site
This Lost Book shares a building with a Historical Site orb. The front door is barred, so climb up to the open window to get in.
Pick up a throwing knife in the room with the open window if you do not have one. Go down the stairs and throw the knife at the red oil flask.
The explosion opens the barred door, and the book is inside.
Harbiyah Enigma Solutions – 3
Harbiyah has three Enigma scrolls. Each one is a drawing or a text that leads you to a hidden treasure. Picking up the scroll counts for the collectible, and solving it gets you the reward.
1 – A Holy Hoard
2 – Find What I Stole!
3 – Left Behind
1 – A Holy Hoard Enigma Solution
Enigma scroll: Inside an open house on the ground floor
Treasure: Nestorian Monastery
Reward: Tan Abbasid Knight Outfit Dye
The house with the scroll is open, so you can walk straight in and pick it up.
Open the scroll in your bag inventory under Enigmas. It shows a drawing of a church with an arrow pointing to an X underneath a tree.
Solution: The church is the Nestorian Monastery in the north. The treasure pile is on the eastern waterside at the base of a big tree.
2 – Find What I Stole! Enigma Solution (Soap Boilers)
Enigma scroll: Campsite by the water at the base of the city walls, southwest of the Qutrabbul Gate
Treasure: Fabric market next to the Soap Boiler’s District
Reward: Black Zanj Uprising Outfit Dye
The scroll is at a small campsite near the water, at the base of the city walls southwest of the Qutrabbul Gate.
Open the scroll in your bag inventory under Enigmas. It is a text titled Find What I Stole!
Solution: The text mentions the Soap Boilers, the district south of the scroll. The whole area is full of colorful fabrics, but the treasure is not in the soap-making complex itself. It is at the fabric market nearby. Look for the colorful triangle fabric roofs. In the center of them is a little house, and the treasure is inside.
3 – Left Behind Enigma Solution
Enigma scroll: Room with two barred access points in Harbiyah
Treasure: Abandoned village on the west coast of the Wilderness
The scroll is inside a room with two barred access points at the location shown on the map. Collapse the scaffolding to get in through the window. The scroll lies next to a dead body.
Open the scroll in your bag inventory under Enigmas. It shows houses by the water with a red lion or bear.
Solution: Something happened with a wild animal in a village. Leave Baghdad and head to the west coast of the Wilderness. There is an abandoned village full of wild animals that attack you on sight. Follow the coastline south and stay near the water until you see the hanging fish and the pier. That is where the treasure is buried.
