First free Eleanor’s mirror
Complete the four seal encounters described in the Sage guide, then return to Eleanor’s One-way Mirror in the Main Hall and continue the scene. In the maze, stand on the ground before a mirror and hold Down to kneel. A pointing shade gives a direction; a normal reflection can transport you, while a red hostile reflection attacks. Continue holding until the interaction completes.
The pointing shade can deceive you
Use the blue shades to inspect the direction they indicate, but watch for the later flickering, distorted shades: their pointing is deceptive. The Reflection Deceives clue warns about this change. Instead of repeating the loop, make for Recurring Belfry and search its lower-left side for the normal reflection surrounded by hostile mirrors. The room diagram below marks that precise mirror.
Kneel at the normal mirror in Recurring Belfry
Descend through Recurring Belfry, using its side passages to reach the lower floors. Find the normal mirror on the left at the position highlighted below. Stand before it and hold Down until you are transported to The Descent into Memory. The correct interaction is kneeling; attacking the mirror is unnecessary. Nearby red reflections are not this exit.
Save, descend and claim the Succubus reward
After arriving in The Descent into Memory, use its Mirror of Life, then follow the descending staircase toward Belmont Manor and the Succubus encounter. Defeat her and interact with the reward orb to claim Life Drain. To obtain Mirror Walk afterward, return to Eleanor in the Mausoleum of the Queens in Holy Innocents’ Cemetery.
