Parry at the right time and fight the Shakiriyya one-on-one to defeat them in Assassin's Creed Mirage (AC Mirage). Read on to see different ways to defeat Shakiriyya and how to get The Shadow and The Flame achievement.

How to Defeat Shakiriyya

Defeat Shakiriyya on a One-on-One Battle

The most optimal way to defeat the Shakiriyya is to beat them in a one-on-one battle. This reduces the likelihood of getting killed by other enemies if you decide to battle it alongside other enemies.

Throw a Fire Pot at the Shakiriyya

Another way to defeat the Shakiriyya is to throw a Fire Pot at it. Fire Pots instantly kill enemies when it explodes near them.

This is a high risk method as the Shakiriyya may attack you as you are carrying or throwing the fire pot at them. In addition, the fire pot causes splash damage and you will likely catch fire in the process.
