Hall of Mirrors -- Path of Exile

A Sanctum run contains 4 floors, each containing 8 rooms. The 8th room of each floor always contains a Boss. Players can choose to engage in a room every time they encounter the portal to the Sanctum in an area or map, or defer up to 8 rooms (1 floor) to be run consecutively at a later time. Crashing during a Sanctum room will reset progress for that room and will resume the same area on your next map. Aureus and rewards are only locked in upon successful completion of a room. Each Sanctum run is independent between characters on the same account.

  • Find the Exit (locate the exit door)
  • Defeat all the Guards (defeat every unique Guard)
  • Survive (avoid the traps)
  • Defeat the Boss (minibosses based on map bosses)

Ah, the Hall of Mirrors! It's a unique and challenging room type found within The Forbidden Sanctum, Path of Exile's end-game Delve mechanic. Prepare for a battle of reflexes and spatial awareness against a powerful boss!

Layout:

  • The Hall of Mirrors features a central platform surrounded by mirrored walls, creating a disorienting maze-like environment.
  • The boss, Lycia, appears at the edge of the room, but her reflections constantly shimmer and move within the mirrors, making it difficult to pinpoint her true location.

Enemy:

  • Lycia, the Sanctum Mirror Witch: She wields powerful arcane magic, unleashing shockwaves, summoning spectral blades, and even teleporting around the room, leaving behind echoes that mirror her attacks.

Challenges:

  • Identifying the True Lycia: To damage her, you must target the real Lycia within the reflections, requiring careful observation and quick reflexes.
  • Dodging Mirrored Attacks: Both the real Lycia and her reflections launch projectiles and shockwaves that bounce off the mirrors, creating unpredictable attack patterns.
  • Managing Space: The constant movement of reflections and limited space on the central platform can make it tricky to maneuver and avoid attacks.

Tips for Conquering the Hall of Mirrors:

  • Focus on movement skills: Dodging mirrored attacks and repositioning quickly are crucial.
  • Utilize sound cues: Lycia's voice often changes pitch or echoes when she teleports, helping you identify her real location.
  • Observe attack patterns: Watch for subtle differences in projectile direction or animation speed to distinguish real attacks from reflected illusions.
  • Don't get overwhelmed: Stay calm and focus on identifying the true Lycia amidst the confusion.
  • Consider the Relics: Certain Relics can highlight the real Lycia for a short time, providing a tactical advantage.

Rewards:

  • For conquering the Hall of Mirrors and defeating Lycia, you'll be rewarded with:
    • Valuable Sanctum Chests with high-tier loot.
    • A significant amount of Offering Vessels.
    • The opportunity to progress further in the Sanctum and face even greater challenges.

Overall, the Hall of Mirrors is a thrilling test of your reflexes, spatial awareness, and ability to focus under pressure. By employing sharp observation, strategic movement, and careful targeting, you can overcome this unique boss encounter and claim your rewards.
