A guide detailing how to use and locate the teleporting mirrors in Mina the Hollower, originally reported by Johnny Yu on Polygon.
Yacht Club Games is back at it with Mina the Hollower, and players diving deep into the retro inspired action adventure are finding plenty of secrets to uncover. Among the more intriguing mechanics hidden across Tenebrous Isle are the game's reflective surfaces. While you can simply interact with them to watch Mina make funny faces, these mirrors double as a fast travel network that transports you straight to Mirror's End in the Astral Orrery. Activating these portals is not just a neat trick for getting around because you will need to sync up specific combinations to reach a hidden spark generator and progress further into the game. Johnny Yu breaks down the full mechanics and regional layouts in the original guide over at Polygon.
Finding and activating these portals requires a bit of environmental awareness, ranging from straightforward room placements like the one in Radiant Manor to trickier puzzles involving hidden pathways. For instance, reaching the Queensbury Crypt mirror requires burrowing into a wall mounted candle to access a secret room. There are six functional mirrors scattered across the various regions of Tenebrous Isle, each tied to a specific color and zone. Since you need to activate at least a trio of them to unlock the path ahead, knowing which regions connect to the Astral Orrery will save you a lot of backtracking.
Getting inside these portals also breaks away from standard interaction prompts. Instead of pressing a button, players need to physically run right into the glass by holding forward until Mina phases through. Once you hit the gold mechanism inside to unlock the room, you open up seamless two way travel between Tenebrous Isle and the Astral Orrery. For the exact region combinations and step by step directions on every single mirror location, check out the complete guide on Polygon.
