Players encounter a familiar fantasy trope of a talking mirror in Baldur's Gate 3 but this mirror doesn't answer questions, it asks them.

There is a magic mirror in Baldur's Gate 3 that blocks the entrance to a secret laboratory. The game gives players many choices so most players may think they can break the mirror or move it. But this situation is a little different. This mirror asks questions and wants some pretty specific answers.

Unfortunately, answering incorrectly can force players to take alternate routes that involve unpleasant decisions. Those who want a clean campaign in Baldur's Gate 3 will want to know the answers the mirror desires instead of guessing and potentially getting locked out of a secret area.

Within this chamber is a quasit, an evil-aligned familiar companion who will "help" with the quiz answers. However, he mentions that balsam is good for burns and this is not true; balsam cleans wounds. He may be misleading but he will join the party and attack on command.

In the current timeline of Faerun, Ilyn Toth is nowhere to be found so the player will have to pretend to be a close friend to fool the mirror. The Ornate Mirror is a construct and not naturally evil-aligned but it does need to verify the individual as an ally of Ilyn Toth before allowing passage and that is a sketchy individual. Players will need to show off their knowledge about alchemy and Ilyn Toth's enemies.

Baldur's Gate 3 is available now for PC. The PlayStation 5 version will be available on September 6th, 2023. A version for Xbox Series X/S is still in development.
