Mirror

Explore the Mirror-maker's House in The Sinking City 2. Find loot, examine clues, and uncover secrets on the ground floor, first floor, and flooded basement.

Alright, let's talk about the Mirror-maker's house. It's a pretty significant spot in northern Oldgrove, a big white place with a brick and wrought iron fence. You can get in through the front or back doors. It's got two floors and a basement, so be prepared to explore. ### Ground Floor This area is rougher than most places in Oldgrove. Expect water on the floor, damaged walls, and parts of the ceiling looking ready to give way. Right by the front door, you'll find a lootable trunk. The main room is pretty empty, but in the side room, there's a stack of envelopes on a table. Examining these might give you some flavor text. Now, pay attention: one of the walls near that table is actually illusory. Behind it, you'll find a small table set within some kind of circle. On it sits a tiny coffin and a mirror on a red pillow. Interacting with this mirror is key – it'll reveal Omens that point you towards the basement. Also on the dining room table, grab the Antipsychotics and the newspaper article titled Eligible Bachelor. ### First Floor This floor is in similar disrepair. You'll see planks covering large sections of the floor, and a big plant growing right in the middle. In the first area, there's a grand piano with a lootable trunk next to it. To the right of that trunk, there's an entrance blocked by a fallen statue. Inside that room, you can examine a large stack of books and newspapers. Charles Reed will comment, "Somebody's been doing their homework." Near a tipped-over bed, you'll find an Occult tome and a First aid kit. In the next room, there are even more newspapers. Look for one on an easel near the back that mentions "...the biggest mirror exhibition in the history of Oakmont, including master Randall's finest creations." You can also examine the bulletin board above the desk, which talks about turning his manor into a museum of vintage mirrors. ### Basement 1 This part of the basement is partially overgrown, with most items pushed into a corner. You'll find another lootable trunk down here. ### Basement 2 This level is flooded, and the walls are overgrown. After the first corner, you'll find a mostly empty room. However, if you're following the Omens or use your Mind's Eye, you'll spot an illusory wall at the back. This leads to another flooded room that connects to a stone-floored area. Here, you'll find a stone altar with a tiny casket and a photograph. Behind the altar, there's a pillar with an occult sign on the floor. On this pillar is a mirror you can examine. Be warned: standing near this mirror causes constant sanity drain. The last section of the basement is brick-lined with pipes and boxes, but there's nothing significant there. ### Loot Summary * Trunk (ground floor, near the front entrance.) * Antipsychotics (ground floor, dining room table) * Trunk (first floor, near the piano) * First aid kit (first floor, near the overturned bed) * Trunk (basement 1, at the bottom of the stairs) ### Related Cases This location is tied to the case Through the Looking Glass.
