Cast a reflection and attack from a distance.
Upgrade: Reflection extends farther and can pick up items.

The Shadow Mirror is a Curio in Specter of Torment.

Usage[]

When used, a shadowy doppelganger is projected in front of Specter Knight, mimicking his movements and extending his attack range by proxy. Activation of the mirror itself does not use up Darkness; instead, Darkness is drained for every attack the reflection makes.

Pressing the Curio button while the mirror is active will cause the reflection to disappear. The reflection also vanishes if the player does not have enough Darkness to mimic an attack.

When upgraded, the mirror's reflection extends out further and it can be used to pick up items from a distance (except for Red Skulls).

Availability[]

Access to the Shadow Mirror can be purchased from Red for Red Skulls 6 in the Tower of Fate after completing Pridemoor Keep. It then has to be collected by completing its dedicated Curio stage. It can also be upgraded by Legion for Treasures icon 4000.

Trivia[]

  • While most of the Curio stages are cursed so that Specter Knight cannot use his scythe, the stage for this Curio is the only exception.
    • The reason for this is yet "
      another
      ancient skeleton secret."
  • This Curio is very similar to Custom Knight's Shadow Knight Relic.
