Baldur's Gate 3: The Mirror of Loss - Solving the Act 3 Puzzle After Patch 5

The Mirror of Loss is a powerful artifact in Act 3 of Baldur's Gate 3 that has been the subject of much discussion since the release of Patch 5. Players have been wondering if the Mirror's functionality has changed, particularly with regards to the availability of the +2 stat bonus and the Charisma +1 bonus, and whether the Mirror can be used multiple times.

To start with, it's important to note that the Mirror of Loss has always had certain restrictions in place. If a player receives the +2 stat bonus before the prompt for the Charisma +1 bonus, they will not be able to get the Charisma +1 bonus. This is because the Mirror of Loss will refuse the player once they have received the +2 bonus. This behavior has been consistent since the release of the game.

Another aspect of the Mirror of Loss that hasn't changed is the presence of the Arcana and Religion checks. The Religion check has always been higher, making it more difficult to pass. However, players who fail the check can still use the Mirror of Loss up to seven times in an attempt to obtain the +2 bonus. This means that players who are struggling to get the bonus have multiple chances to succeed.

It's worth noting that the information provided in this article is based on the information provided in the post and may not be accurate for all players or situations. The behavior of the Mirror of Loss can vary depending on a player's choices and actions, so it's important to experiment and see what works best for your specific playthrough.

In conclusion, the Mirror of Loss in Act 3 of Baldur's Gate 3 has not undergone any major changes with the release of Patch 5. Players should keep in mind the restrictions and limitations of the Mirror, as well as the presence of the Arcana and Religion checks. With perseverance and experimentation, players can still use the Mirror to their advantage and obtain the powerful +2 bonus.
