I have no idea how I did this other then I guess I stuck to the rooftops to much to avoid guards when wanted and stuck to stealth as much as possible but I managed to complete my entire first play through of Mirage without ever fighting a Shakiriyya (the high wanted level enemies). Only reason I realized it was that I checked the achievements and then saw I only had 7/8 enemies discovered.

Other than that, I never really used the collapsed-able scaffolding or the pole for crossing gaps.

So now I’m curious, anyone else miss anything their first playthrough or until/near end game?

PS - Fuck the “Blade in the Crowd” achievement, took hours to unlock.
