The Ornate Mirror is a Magic Mirror in BG3. It can be found in a hidden room in the Alchemist’s Cellar in Blighted Village and will ask you five questions that need to be answered correctly to gain access to another room with plenty of loot, including The Necromancy of Thay.
How to find the Ornate Mirror in BG3
The Ornate Mirror will be found in at the bottom of a well within the Blighted Village by going through a Hatch at the coordinates: X: 34, Y: 378. There, you will end up in an Apothecary’s Cellar. To get to the Ornate Mirror, follow these steps:
- Go immediately left and pull the lever on the wall.
- The hidden room will remove a bookshelf and there, you will gain access to the hidden room.
Once you have walked behind the bookshelf, all that’s left to do is answer the questions correctly. Since there are multiple answers to each one, it could take a few attempts to pass the rest. To make things easy, here is a compiled list of all the correct answers.
All answers to the Ornate Mirror in BG3
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Speak your name | Tell it your name |
| Step forward and declare yourself an ally | Yes, an ally! I’m an ally of your master’s |
| What think you of the zulkir known as Szaas Tam? | A foul lich. May he die a thousand more deaths |
| Tell me, why might one use balsam ointment? | I read a doctor’s journal—he used balsam to clean a wound |
| If you could see anything in me, what would it be? | I’d look for whatever spell will rid me of this worm in my head |
Answering the Ornate Mirror wrong will result in the mirror’s disgruntled attitude and will unleash a fight upon you.
The room it unlocks contains all sorts of useful ingredients that can be used to make potions or traded. It does have some traps, though, so keep your wits about you.
Once you’ve looted everything, pull the lever on the right-hand side of the room to open the exit.
It’s not the only thing to do in Blighted Village. While you’re there, stop the windmill and rescue the Gnome.
