How to Find and Activate Mirrors: Step-by-Step
To ensure you never miss a save point, follow these elaborated steps during your exploration:
Step 1: Scout for the “Mirror Glow”
Hollower Mirrors emit a faint, pulsating purple light that is visible even through some thin walls. When entering a new sub-room, pause for a second and listen for a low humming sound. This audio cue is often the first sign that a checkpoint is nearby.
Step 2: Crack the Breakable Walls
Yacht Club Games loves their secrets! Many mirrors in Mina the Hollower are tucked away behind cracked tiles or false walls. Use your whip or secondary weapons to hit any wall that looks slightly out of place. If you see a “puff” of dust, you’re on the right track.
Step 3: Clear the Immediate Threat
A Mirror cannot be used if enemies are currently targeting you. Before interacting with the glass, make sure to clear out any nearby mobs. Once the combat music fades, you are safe to approach and “attune” to the mirror.
Step 4: Perform the Activation Ritual
Stand in front of the mirror and press the interact button. This will restore your health and Spark (energy) to full. Once activated, the mirror will be added to your map. To unlock fast travel between them, you must find the “Shattered Shard” item later in the story!
