Hint 1 — a direction to explore

Reveal solution / story details

The mirror can stand on a submerged crystal. Check how moving it beyond the starting island changes the reachable landing positions.

Hint 2 — the useful arrangement

Reveal solution / story details

Use the starting crystal beneath the mirror. Send the other crystal into the water beside the exit island’s eastern arm, then use that same landing for the trader.

Observed solution and gameplay

Reveal solution / story details

The last reflection lands beside the exit island’s arm. Walk from that crystal to the exit circle. The early push counts are not transcribed.

Times in brackets are from Joric’s June 17, 2026 demo recording (see Sources). The clip under the last step is the same room in the released game: Retail puzzle 15 in Game Guides Channel’s October 12, 2026 recording, which follows this route to the exit.

  1. Push the starting crystal up and left to the upper-right island’s northwest edge, then into the water above that edge. Bring the mirror left and push it north onto the submerged crystal (8:03).
  2. From below the mirror, reflect onto the upper-left island. Move its crystal down and left into the mirror’s horizontal line, at that island’s southwest corner (8:08).
  3. Reflect yourself back to the right island. Step out of the mirror’s vertical beam and activate reflection. The crystal transfers into the water at the far-eastern end of the exit island’s projecting arm (8:09–8:10).
  4. Return through the mirror to the upper-left island. Walk left onto the square the crystal occupied, then activate reflection. You land on the submerged crystal beside the exit island (8:12).
  5. Walk left onto the island and up to the exit. The trader reaches it and dialogue appears at 8:14.
