The first mirror: reach the southwest island

Four islands, a northeast mirror and a gold circle to the southwest. Match this layout, then choose a hint if you need help reaching the exit.

Four islands: an upright mirror on the northeast island, the Trader starting southeast, a small northwest island, and a gold exit on the large southwest island.

Hint 1What to notice

Watch the pale reflection as you approach the light beneath the mirror. It shows a reachable landing on a different island.

Hint 2What to set up

The northwest island is a stepping stone. You do not need to walk across the water or move the mirror.

Hint 3The decisive move

After transferring northwest, walk west along the light. When the reflection reaches the southwest island, use the mirror interaction again.

Open the full routeSolution spoilers and the target state
  1. Enter the first light strip

    From the southeast starting island, walk east onto the north–south strip of light beneath the mirror. Check that the pale reflection is standing on the small northwest island, then use the on-screen mirror interaction.

  2. Move the reflection onto the exit island

    You are now on the northwest island. Walk west along its lit row, towards the island’s left end. Watch the corresponding reflection travel south, past the starting island and onto the large southwest island.

  3. Transfer and finish

    With the reflection safely on the southwest island, use the mirror interaction again. Walk west across that island to the gold exit. The recording shows the completion flash and transition to the next room.

Check your result

The Trader is on the southwest island and reaches its gold circle. Merely reaching the northwest island is only the intermediate state.

If your attempt went wrong

If the reflection is over water or still on the southeast island, adjust your position along the lit row before transferring. Compare the four-island layout first; do not substitute South-world stone or lily-pad instructions for this room.
