Demo puzzle atlas: Mirror Isles and Heroes

If the current retail Reset does not restore a room, the October 17 developer note recommends Undo back to the start, then Reset. The reset regression remains open; Kingy has not tested the workaround. The recorded layouts and community-recreation tests below retain their original dates and build limits.

The developer fixes several Skipping Stones checkpoints and exploits, a bad-checkpoint cascade in Skipping Stones to Lonely Homes, an early Mirrors and Stones exploit and a missing trader companion in a mirror level. The note does not map each fix to the room numbers used here. Keep the original recording dates and compare your starting layout; Kingy has not replay-tested these routes after the patch.

Mirror Isles puzzle 1–23 follows this guide collection’s page order. These are guide numbers, not verified in-game display numbers. The original mirror_* filenames remain search aliases; they do not always match the guide number.

The atlas covers 23 Mirror Isles rooms in Joric’s June 17 recording and the first eight recorded Heroes of Hauling rooms in Cappa Games’ recording published June 23. Neither inspected segment shows a native build number. Match the starting arrangement before following a route; this is not a directory of every current demo or full-game puzzle.

Kingy visually reviewed starting, intermediate and exit states in the recordings. Mirror Isles routes 9, 10, 12 and 23 were also manually completed in the separate community recreation. The Heroes routes were not. No route has been replayed by Kingy in the native demo or checked against its current build.

The first four entries correspond to the row of four stars on the main Mirror Isles island, from left to right in Joric’s overview. Entries 5–6 are the pair northeast of that row; 7–8 are the pair on the small island southeast of it. The linked community map provides individual entrance pins.

Room numbers refer to Joric’s video order. Identifiers such as mirror_1 are community-reported native file names; the descriptive titles and schematic diagrams are Kingy’s.

The eight Heroes entries follow the first eight rooms completed in Cappa Games’ recording. The fourth returns to the overworld before the fifth entrance is selected, so this is a recording sequence rather than a universal player order. The first and fifth share a corridor shape but feature different heroes and routes. Their descriptive names are Kingy’s; search Heroes to show those eight entries.

Start with the diagram and the room description. Hint 1 points to the relevant idea; Hint 2 names the arrangement you need. The full route includes a timestamped gameplay player, so you can compare a difficult position before making the next move.

Directions mean up, down, left and right in the recorded view. Diagrams simplify island shapes and spacing; use the gameplay frame for exact tile positions and mirror orientation.

“Mirror action” means the primary action for the trader using your configured controls. Directions refer to the recorded view, not a fixed keyboard or controller binding.
