Mirror, Mirror: all six memorial candles and Ulv’s Longbow

1. Find the crying mirror

Jagex’s patch notes name the quest “Mirror, Mirror”. MetaBot’s data and a wiki talk-page note give the in-game name as “Mirror Mirror”, so either may appear in your Journal. Jagex added the quest in update 0.10.2 on February 24, 2026, so many guides and videos predate 1.0.

1. Head west of Emberwood Village, past the green dragon. VGC routes through Bleakfields Valley and Witchwillow Range to Emberwood’s south-western edge, where the mirror stands in a ruined building. You hear crying as you approach.
2. Speak to the mirror. A figure sealed inside by a necromancer asks for three ritual reagents. The objective reads: “Gather dragon blood, spectral silver thread and a ritual spellbook”.

2. Dragon blood and the bedraggled spellbook

gamever lists the Green Dragon at 2,800 health at power level 5: weak to Water, resistant to Fire and immune to Burning and Poison. VGC’s guide dates from May 2026, before 1.0; check routes against your own map.

1. Dragon blood: kill the green dragon near the mirror, or dragon wolves. VGC calls the wolves probably easier; Gaming Toolkits calls them safer.
2. Spellbook: enter Emberwood Village and find the destroyed windmill on its west side. The wiki says the bedraggled spellbook is inside; VGC says to Windstep onto the top of the broken windmill. Check both if you don’t see it.
3. Keep the spellbook with you when you visit Edna. The quest objective sends it to the mirror, but the wiki’s thread recipe also lists it as one of Edna’s inputs.

3. Edna’s spectral silver thread

1. Find Edna’s skeleton in Dragon’s Run, east of Emberwood Village: a crumbling stone house near a willow grove and a rundown gateway. She sits against the corner on the right.
2. Interact with her to hear the list, then bring 1 silver bar, 1 fine thread, 1 sacred oil and 6 soul fragments.
3. Hand them over. She makes the spectral silver thread and returns to rest.

4. All six memorial candle locations

Return to the mirror and hand over the three reagents. The figure gives you a small piece of their soul, which is what lights the candles. The objective becomes “Rekindle the memorial candles across Ashenfall.” Guides also call them memory candles or skull candles.

Candle areas are highlighted blue on your map. Gaming Toolkits suggests lighting the one beside the mirror first, then sweeping the rest. Numbers are checklist labels, not a required order. Locations come from the wiki’s October 16 revision and match VGC’s region list.

5. Finish the ritual and claim Ulv’s Longbow

1. With all six candles lit, speak to the mirror again.
2. The figure starts a ritual they say will take about a week, and tells you there’s no need to wait. The quest completes and you receive Ulv’s Longbow and its recipe.

What Ulv’s Longbow is for

It’s a power level 5 longbow built for opening shots. Its numbers match the Willow Longbow: 65 base damage, a ×2.7 multiplier and 1,300 durability. The difference is a bonus against targets that aren’t yet in combat. The wiki puts that at 15%, the same as a trick shot, and the item text says it deals extra damage to unaware targets. Sneak up and open with it rather than counting on it for sustained fire.

More copies are made at a Fletching Bench from 12 Willow Logs, 8 Fine Thread, 10 Animal Bone, 4 Green Dragonhide Leather and 12 Dwellberries (wiki recipe). Ascension Cores at the Mystic Forge raise its base damage to 82, 100 and 118 at power levels 6, 7 and 8. The wiki says the power level 9 step isn’t in the game yet. For comparison, gamever lists the power level 7 Yew Longbow at 101.

Jagex’s hotfix 0.10.2.2 (March 2026) fixed Ulv’s Longbow so it can be placed on a weapon rack correctly.

If a reagent or candle won’t register

In our October 19 searches we found no Steam or wiki report of a candle refusing to light. These checks can’t repair every quest-state bug. If the objective stays stuck, note the step, your platform and installed version before reporting it to Jagex.

1. Can’t get into Emberwood Village: progress Withering Heights or reactivate the statues. A 1.0 video description says to unlock the barrier at the four shrines first.
2. Edna won’t make the thread: the Journal names the end product, but Edna’s list asks for plain fine thread. An August wiki edit cleared up this mix-up. Carry exact quantities, and the spellbook too.
3. No candle objective yet: you must hand the three reagents to the mirror first. The candle stage starts after that conversation.
4. Can’t find the Stormtouched Highlands candle: go east from the garou castle to the dragon spine, then north. Don’t head straight north-east.
5. Stuck between rocks in Emberwood: Jagex’s 1.0.1 notes fix a spot there where players could fall indefinitely.
6. In co-op, check each player’s own objective. The 1.0.1 notes also fix quest items picked up early in multiplayer blocking entry to the next region; they don’t name this quest. The new Completed Quests tab shows whether it already finished.
