How to Control and Use Enkidu in Assassin’s Creed Mirage
The best way to use Enkidu in AC Mirage is to help you with scouting and to give you an overview of an area. Note that you can only call upon Enkidu while you’re outside. He can’t really take advantage of his flying high indoors. While controlling Enkidu, you’ll be able to place custom markers, which can be useful to mark discovered viewpoints, shops, and more.
Another great use for Basim’s eagle is to find specific quest objectives. When doing this, Enkidu’s direction circle will turn yellow, indicating that a quest objective is nearby. As you fly looking for it, pay attention to the circle’s size. The smaller the circle gets, the closer you are to what you’re looking for. When Enkidu pinpoints the location, it will be marked on the map for Basim to go to.
While you’re using Enkidu, you have several controls at your disposal to make it easier to navigate. For instance, you can fly around, boost his speed, or slow down to stationary mode to get your bearings. Moreover, you can use Enkidu to place markers in the world and have the option to hide icons if your screen gets too cluttered. Consult the table below for the full list of controls for Enkidu on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
