During one of Baldur’s Gate 3 ‘s side quests , while exploring a basement in the Withered Village , we may come across a mysterious riddle that quickly raises doubts among any player: a magic mirror that asks us questions with several possible answers.

Correct answers for the mirror
The decorated mirror you find in a basement in the Withered Village will ask you up to 5 different questions that you can answer in several ways.
However, to answer each question correctly you will have to choose the answers below:
- Question #1: Answer with option number 1 (tell your name).
- Question #2: Answer with option number 1 (claiming to be an ally of his master).
- Question #3: Answer with option number 2 (feel hatred towards Szass Tam).
- Question #4: Answer with option number 1 (balsamic ointments are used to clean a wound).
- Question #5: Answer with option number 2.
These are all the correct answers to give the mirror for each question. Once you’ve pleased it, it will step aside and you’ll be able to enter a large room containing several items of interest, the crown jewel being the book of Thayan Necromancy . Additionally, if you have Astarion in your party, you’ll gain an Inspiration point .
Alternatively, you can also answer the first question with the Intimidation option . If you pass the skill check successfully, the mirror will open without you having to answer correctly . If you fail, that’s a different story (see below).
It is worth mentioning that depending on the character you use to interact with the mirror, you may have a special dialogue option available to you related to your character’s class , race , or abilities . You might be tempted to use one of these special responses, but we recommend that you don’t. It is preferable to limit yourself to answering the responses we have shown you before, this way you will be 100% sure that you don’t fail any of them and don’t have an unpleasant surprise.
What happens if you answer wrong to the decorated mirror?
Obviously, answering with a response that does not please the magic mirror has negative consequences (also failing the Intimidation roll).
- If you answer wrong, the mirror will end the conversation
- Additionally, the mirror will send out a sphere of fuelthat burns your characters with fire if they are in its path.
- The sphere can also awaken a series of skeletons from nearby gravesto start a battle.
Due to the high number of skeletons in the area, trust us, you don’t want to fail a mirror answer . If this is the case, we recommend that you load a previous save file to avoid a bad time, and answer all the correct answers that we have shown you above.
