Mirror Isles · Creator’s Room 22

Four purple crystals and two distant circles

Match the four purple crystals, the two starting figures and the stair-shaped main island. The two circles are far apart, one at northeast and one on the isolated northwest island.

An orange-clothed figure and a dark-clothed figure start at the southern entrance, beside a column of four purple crystals and a mirror to the west. The main island steps northeast to one gold circle. Another circle is on a separate northwest island.

Stop after any hint. The full route and later-state picture stay hidden until you open them.

Hint 1What to notice

The crystals must make stable intermediate positions in the water before the dark-clothed figure follows. Track each solid crystal separately from its pale landing.

Hint 2What to set up

First build a western base and a southern base. A later crystal uses those two positions on its way to the gap below the northwest circle.

Hint 3The decisive move

The fourth crystal stands above the northwest base. The dark-clothed figure then follows the western, southern and northwest positions while the orange-clothed figure stays on the main island to move the mirror.

Open the full routeSolution spoilers and the target state
  1. Make the western and southern bases

    Move the mirror to the entrance bay’s northwest edge. Move the first purple crystal west out of the column, then south onto the light at the island’s southern end. Use the object interaction to send it into the western water, where it sinks into a base. Bring the second crystal to the same southern light and reflect it onto that western base: it remains upright above the first crystal. Now push the mirror east to the entrance bay’s eastern edge. Check the upper crystal’s pale landing in the water south of the island, then reflect that upper crystal there. It sinks into the southern base while the western base remains.

    The western and southern low bases are now separate; the remaining crystals are still at the entrance.

  2. Send the third crystal to the northwest base

    Return the mirror to the entrance bay’s northwest edge. Move the third crystal west and south onto the same entrance light, then reflect it onto the western base. Move the mirror east to the bay’s eastern edge and reflect that upright crystal onto the southern base. Push the mirror north to the main island’s upper bend, on a row below the northwest circle. Reflect the same upper crystal into the water gap below that target island: it sinks into the third base. Compare the three separated low positions in the picture.

    Three low positions are visible in the water: west of the entrance, south of it and below the northwest circle island.

  3. Place the fourth crystal above the northwest base

    Return the mirror to the entrance bay’s northwest edge. Bring the fourth and final entrance crystal onto the southern light and reflect it onto the western base. Move the mirror east and reflect it onto the southern base. Push the mirror along the northeast steps to the southern edge of the northeast-circle branch. Use the object interaction again to send this crystal onto the northwest base. It now stands above that base, giving the later character a higher landing.

    The fourth crystal has reached the higher position above the northwest base; the dark-clothed figure is still waiting at the entrance.

  4. Send the dark-clothed figure along the prepared route

    Bring the mirror back to the entrance bay’s northwest edge. Leave the orange-clothed figure on the main island. Use the dark-clothed figure’s pale landing from the southern light to send that solid figure onto the western base. Move the mirror east and transfer the dark-clothed figure onto the southern base. Push the mirror north to the upper bend and transfer that figure onto the higher crystal below the northwest island. Check the solid figure at each stop before moving the mirror again.

  5. Reach the two circles

    Push the mirror farther north along the northeast branch, stopping above the northeast gold circle. Its westward light now meets the northwest circle’s row. Use the mirror interaction to send the dark-clothed figure onto that northwest circle; the picture shows the solid figure there, not only a reflection. Walk the orange-clothed figure onto the main island’s northeast circle. The recording shows both occupied circles, then returns to the world map.

    The dark-clothed solid figure has reached the northwest gold circle. The orange-clothed figure is still on the main island beside the mirror.

Check your result

The first three crystals form separate western, southern and northwest bases; the fourth stands above the northwest base. The dark-clothed figure reaches the northwest circle, while the orange-clothed figure remains on the main island and reaches the northeast circle.

If your attempt went wrong

If a reflected landing is still in open water, compare which base is missing. The second crystal first stands above the western base before it makes the southern base; the third visits both of those positions before making the northwest base. Keep the fourth as the upper northwest crystal. Send the dark-clothed figure only after those positions are ready, and check for a solid figure at each stop rather than treating the pale outline as an arrival.
