Mirror Isles · Creator’s Room 21

One island, a purple crystal and two circles

Match the two distinct characters, the purple crystal and the two separated circles. One target lies west of the island rather than on another visible island.

A single island narrows towards the west. A mirror stands near its upper middle, a purple crystal is nearby, and orange-clothed and dark-clothed solid characters stand to the northeast. One gold circle is on the island; another is in the water to the west.

Hint 1What to notice

The purple crystal can provide a standing point south of the island. One character needs to remain on the main island to move the mirror.

Hint 2What to set up

After the crystal is south, the dark-clothed character can reach its top through the mirror. Check the solid character’s arrival, not just the pale outline.

Hint 3The decisive move

With one character on the southern crystal, push the mirror back north. This sets up the western circle while the orange-clothed character can still reach the island’s circle.

Open the full routeSolution spoilers and the target state
  1. Place the crystal south of the island

    Use the orange-clothed character to push the purple crystal west to the island’s far tip. Go around to the mirror’s north side and push it south until it shares the crystal’s row. Use the mirror interaction on the crystal; the recording shows the solid crystal arrive in the water directly south of the island.

  2. Put the dark-clothed character on the crystal

    Keep the orange-clothed character on the main island. Use the mirror interaction with the dark-clothed character’s reflected position on the southern crystal. Confirm that the solid dark-clothed character, rather than only a pale outline, is standing on top of that crystal.

    The dark-clothed solid character stands on the southern purple crystal; the orange-clothed character is still on the main island.

  3. Raise the mirror and reach both circles

    From the mirror’s south side, push it back to the island’s northern edge with the orange-clothed character. The dark-clothed character on the crystal now has a reflected position at the western circle. Use the mirror interaction to reach that circle, then move the orange-clothed character east onto the circle on the main island. The recording shows both target positions followed by the completion wash.

The dark-clothed character transfers onto the western circle while the orange-clothed character remains on the island to reach its eastern circle.

Check your result

The purple crystal is in the water south of the island. The dark-clothed solid character reaches the western circle, and the orange-clothed character reaches the circle on the island; the completion wash follows.

If your attempt went wrong

If the dark-clothed figure is only a pale outline above the crystal, complete that transfer before raising the mirror. Keep the orange-clothed character available on the main island to push the mirror north. Use this room’s pictured landing points rather than assuming every later reflection must land on ordinary ground.
