The Sage: mirror seals, Mirror Walk and its return effect

Open the One-way Mirror

Speak to Eleanor in the One-way Mirror in the Main Hall. That mirror requires all four seals; kneeling before it alone cannot remove them. Reach the four separate seal chambers through other Mirrors of Life.

Use the Mirror of Life in Prison Tower for the upper-left seal, East Gallery for lower-left, Archives for lower-right, and Mechanic’s Ascent for upper-right. Stand on the ground before a usable mirror and hold Down until the charge and transfer complete. The Paris Streets approach requires completing the Death story encounter at Altar of Bones in the Catacombs.

Strike each seal to start its ambush, then defeat all three enemy groups. When all four seals have disappeared, return to the One-way Mirror to continue Eleanor’s story.

First claim Life Drain

Complete the Succubus encounter in the Hall of Mirrors and interact with the reward orb to receive Life Drain. Winning the fight and leaving without claiming its reward is not enough for the confirmed Sage prerequisite.

Then return to Eleanor in the Mausoleum of the Queens, Holy Innocents’ Cemetery. Finish the scene and interact with her reward orb to obtain Mirror Walk. The map references below locate the encounter and the mausoleum room.

Place a mirror before taking damage

Cast Mirror Walk to leave a mirror lasting 15 seconds. Cast again before it expires to return to that position. Returning consumes the mirror immediately, so it cannot be used for another return without placing a new one.

The return restores 50% of the health lost since placement. For example, losing 80 HP after placing the mirror restores 40 HP on return, before any other effects. It does not restore half of your maximum HP or automatically refund all damage taken.

Choose a return position you can use

As a combat approach, place the mirror where you want to return, then move out to attack. Keep the 15-second limit in mind and recast while the mirror is still available. A mirror placed after you were injured does not recover damage that happened before placement.

Mirror Walk is separate from Mirrors of Life used for saving and recovery, and from the mirror passages on the map. Check the spell details for mana cost and its Works of Mercy.
