Mirror of the Beginning

"Are we too late...?"

This article covers content that has been scrapped or removed, and is no longer available in the game.

The Mirror of the Beginning was the Mirror Dungeon of Season 1. It is unlocked by completing Canto II.

It was removed along with the Mirror of Mirrors, and replaced with the Mirror of the Lake as part of the December 14th, 2023 update. However, all Abnormalities, enemies and E.G.O Gifts that were previously present in this dungeon, can still be encountered in future Mirror Dungeons.

Rewards

Mirror Dungeons have a 3-day max weekly rewards system in place, where the first three dungeon runs in a week (regardless of completion level) will reward the player with extra resources, namely:

• 250 Free Lunacy
• 15 XP for the Limbus Pass

Once the Weekly Rewards bonus has been used up, the player will only receive 10 Limbus Pass XP for any subsequent Mirror Dungeon runs.

Removed Events

The following event nodes were removed with the June 29th, 2023 update as they had been made obsolete with the reworked Mirror Dungeon.

Image	Event	Details
Vending Machine and Oceanic Waves	Health Recovery	Healed the HP for all allies by a variable amount depending on the current floor. Appears to have been related to the Abnormality Opened Can of WellCheers.
Mirror Room	Sinner Recruitment	Allowed for the recruitment of another Identity, with their level depending on the current floor. (Level 10 at Floor 1, Level 15 at Floor 2, and Level 20 at Floor 3) May have had some connection to the Mirror developed by Yi Sang.
Reinforced Ampule Exchange	Sinner Power-up	Increased the level of selected Identities by 5. The number of selectable Identities was equal to the current floor.

Vending Machine and Oceanic Waves

---

In an empty space,
you find a lone vending machine.

Where does it get its power…?

Besides that, what’s with this sound of crashing waves?

Regardless, this vacant lot looks to be a good place
for your Sinners to take a break.

Standing in front of the vending machine, you see rows of buttons.

Press one. With just a single press, the machine ejected one can after another. All the cans are purple. You can’t fathom the meaning of the ships and grapes doodled on them, but they somehow feel familiar, and well… cheery. They should be okay to drink. You passed the cans out to the Sinners. All Allies healed for 10/15/25 HP.

Mirror Room

---

Up ahead, you see some sort of ray of light.

Looking closely, there are numerous tall mirrors.
They all face each other.

While examining them,
you feel the need to stand before the mirrors.

The room, wall-to-wall with reflections, is quiet and chilly.

Stand in front of one. You seem to have lost consciousness. When you came to your senses, you found yourself in a dreamscape of infinite selves. There, you encountered those placed between limitless possibilities beyond the mirrors. Event: Sinner Recruitment!

Reinforced Ampule Exchange

---

The machine seemed to be well-maintained.
Not a single speck of dirt rested on its surface.

[Please select an ampule and go atop the table.]

Those were the instructions on the display next to it.

Behind that display, you see ampules containing
liquids of various colors, like red, green, and white.

You carefully get on the cold operating table.

Choose an ampule. [Confirmed choice of ampule.] A foreboding mechanical arm suddenly began to move, taking out your selection and plugging it into another machine. [The pain is temporary.] The arm swung wildly, jabbing a large needle into the Sinner. [Noise over 90 dB detected. More than 30 minutes of exposure may permanently damage eardrums.] The display plainly warned, but that obviously didn’t help palliate the scream. Event: Sinner Power-up!

Removed Enemies

Mirror of the Beginning
Removal Date	Image	Details
June 29th, 2023	Baba Yaga	One of the possible final bosses of Floor 3 was the Baba Yaga encounter, featuring the same 4 waves of reminisced neighbors and freezing miner slaves found at the end of Branch J-03. It was removed due to its unpopularity for being a time consuming battle.
	Peccatulum (Easy)	All Peccatulum were replaced with the buffed counterparts made for Mirror of Mirrors.
	Doomsday Clay Doll	The 3 Doomsday Clay Dolls encounter as a floor 2 boss was removed. Likewise, various other floor 2 bosses were reworked, such as the amount of Pink Shoes slaves being doubled, or the Inquisitors getting Peccatulum sidekicks.
July 6th, 2023	Floor 2 Bosses from Canto 2 (Easy)	All boss encounters involving the lesser cyborgs and Pink Shoes slaves were replaced with harder encounters featuring You Want To Get Beat? Hurtily? and Clippity-cloppity? Tap Away!
