- Push the brown boulder north into the water gap between the starting and central islands. It becomes a crossing at 5:53.
- Use the mirror to reach the long left island. Push the mirror north until it lines up with the top island. Stand well south of it, check that your reflected image is beside the crystal, and transfer to the top island (5:58).
- Move the purple crystal until its reflection lands on the left island. Transfer the crystal and yourself back there; both are on the left island at 6:08.
- Push the crystal right into the water gap between the left and central islands. Bring the mirror down to that row and push it right across the submerged crystal onto the central island.
- Push the mirror to the central island’s right edge (6:19). Walk south over the brown boulder until your image reaches the far-right exit. Activate reflection to materialize on the exit at 6:21.
