Mirror Isles · Creator’s Room 8

The bent island and southwest exit

Match the long bent island, two separated rocks and the small southwest gold-circle island. Choose a hint to keep the rest of the solution hidden.

A long bent main island: one rock at its far western end, a second rock and mirror at its eastern end, and a small gold-circle island below and to the left.

Hint 1What to notice

Make room to move the eastern mirror before taking it towards the bend. The nearby rock can be moved out of its way.

Hint 2What to set up

The western rock provides a turning point below the bend. It is not a direct bridge to the small exit island.

Hint 3The decisive move

Use that extra standing point to bring the mirror around the bend, then along the upper arm to the far western tip. Check the southern reflection from there.

Open the full routeSolution spoilers and the target state
  1. Clear the eastern end

    Move the rock beside the eastern mirror north off the island, making a flat stone. Use that extra space to reposition the mirror onto the main island’s lower horizontal corridor, with room to move it west.

  2. Prepare the outside of the bend

    Go to the far western rock. Push it east along the upper arm until it is above the vertical bend, then south down the bend and off its bottom edge. It becomes a flat stone immediately below the main corridor.

    The western rock is now a flat stone below the bend, giving space to reposition around the mirror.

  3. Bring the mirror around the bend

    Move the mirror west along the lower corridor to the bend. Stand east of it on the corridor and check that the pale reflection is on the new flat stone immediately south of the bend. Use the mirror interaction to transfer onto that stone, putting you south of the mirror. Push the mirror north up the bend, then go to its eastern side and push it west along the upper arm. Leave it at the far western tip, where its southern light reaches the small exit island.

  4. Transfer onto the small island

    Stand east of the mirror along the upper arm. Check that the pale reflection is on the southwest island, then use the mirror interaction. Walk onto the nearby gold circle. The recording returns to the regional map after completion.

Check your result

The mirror ends at the western tip of the main island’s upper arm, and the character stands on the gold circle of the separate southwest island.

If your attempt went wrong

If you cannot get around the mirror at the bend, check that the western rock has been pushed south off the bottom edge to make the extra standing tile. If the final reflection is over water, check the mirror’s western position and your distance along the upper arm.
