Nostradamus Enigmas are scattered throughout the in-game world of Assassin’s Creed: Unity. In order to complete Nostradamus Enigma, Arno needs to find a series of symbols located in the environment using Eagle Vision.
For more help on Assassin’s Creed: Unity, read our Murder Mysteries Clues Locations, Outfits and Equipment Unlock Guide.
Assassin’s Creed: Unity Nostradamus Enigma Symbols Locations
Each symbol has a riddle which, once decrypted, leads to another symbol.
You need to keep on doing this until you get to the last symbol. One good thing about these missions is that all symbols are located in the same vicinity.
I would recommend synchronizing all View Points in the area to make this relatively easier.
After all symbols of a puzzle are found, Arno will receive a Fragment which can be used in a secret room of the Café Theater located in the Mansion’s Basement.
