Mercurius Nostradamus Enigma is probably the first Enigma you will try to solve in Assassin’s Creed Unity. This is because it is located in the very room that tells you what Enigmas are and what Fragments are for.

As you get to inhabit Café Théâtre you will have to take the tour of the house. This tour will probablyt take you to underground chambers among which is the Armor Room. This room holds the armor of a famous assassin, but it is locked away and you will need to collect all the fragments scattered around Paris to be able to unlock the armor and deservingly wear it. Mercurius enigma start right next to the Armor Room. Those of you that did not yet reach Café Théâtre you will find it in Ile Saint-Louis district east of Notre-Dame (just across the river).
Mercurius Enigma Starting Location
Once inside
From where you get the task to explore the Café Théâtre there’s a stairwell leading into the basement. First door in front of you (shown on the screen above) will take you to the assassin’s hideout so turn right and keep going until you reach the Armor room
This is the map location of where the stairwell begins.
Once you get to the Armor Room you will find the start of this enigma.
Map shows the exact location of where the actual Enigma starts
1st Riddle Solution
The lady of the domicile
Judges comings and goings
From her couch-like throne
At the top of the stair.
Mentioning lady of the domicile made me think this has to do something with Cafe Theatre since that is our home in the game. I went around the house looking for a lady in a couch-like throne at the top of the stair, so I went up to the first floor and I started hearing a chime that happens when you are near a riddle solution.
Climb up to the first floor of the house (that is 2nd floor for all you US folk out there) and you will see a painting of a lady and a couch next to her.
Activate your Eagle vision and you will see the rune you can interact with
Map shows exact spot of the first riddle’s solution, just keep in mind you have to be up on the first floor.
Zoomed out map for better overview.
2nd Riddle Solution
Lowly sinners, as each we are,
Aspire to the domed heav’ns.
Fickle fate points beyond,
Where a supine city Beckons.
I suspected that this Enigma will be related to your house and “domed heav’ns” part of the riddle caught my eye. What better place for a dome than the roof? Upon going up there I found the dome and the solution to the second riddle as well.
Climbing up on top of the roof of the house revealed a nice dome structure for me to explore.
Using Eagle Vision on the top revealed the solution to the second riddle
to avoid the glitch when you accept the quest from book look above you and you will see the symbol. interact with it and after that the quest can be solved with the answers of the riddles
Hey guys I had the same problem. You literally have to walk into the symbol until it says interact. It didn’t work until I walked into the wall where the symbol was. Try that
ok whenever the rune doesn’t interact, it means that you have another quest going on, i noticw that by starting over it resets all , just look on map when the parchment is still lit ( not darkened) it means it hasn’t been tracke yet.
I was having the same problem until I watched a video guide and discovered that you have to interact with the very first rune which is on the wall right where you pick up the mission. Then I could interact with the second and third runes as well. This guide seemed a bit misleading because the author only specified to interact with the second and third runes.
I’m having the exact same thing happening. I found the riddle icon on the solution, yet the option to “Interact” never comes up. Possible glitch missed right after the game release? Also, I’m not getting the same riddles that this person who posted this article.
Same thing happened to me. You have to click the book at the beginning twice because the first time it gives you the introduction to what the Nostradamus Enigmus is. When that comes up, then close out of that and click the book again and it will start the mission.
First go to the mercius enigma start and activate eagle vision and interact with the symbol you see then do all this other stuff I had trouble here too
Same and it’s the last one ?
it wont work at the top of the dome.

its just keeps telling me to find the symbol. I found it on the wall with eagle vision. I have no option to interact with it.
Same here. Went back several times to no avail.
you have to interact with the symbol above the pedistal where u got the quest first then go upstairs
I love you dude, been trying to get this one to work forever but this is what was missing the whole time, nobody ever mentioned it.

You have to go back to the armor room and the symbol will be where the book was to start the mission and you can carry on

Thank you for that! helped a lot
It worked thanks
you have to stand against the wall to get the option to interact with it, at least I got that when i tried it
First go to the mercius enigma start and activate eagle vision and interact with the symbol you see then do all this other stuff I had trouble here too
You need to interact with the start of the riddle again, outside the armor room. For some reason this first riddle is bugged
Try going back Down to the first enigma then coming back. I had the same problem and tried this and then it worked
