Unlocking the Through the Looking Glass Quest
Getting Started: Before diving into the "Through the Looking Glass" quest, certain prerequisites must be met. Players must first complete the world quest series "In the Wake of Narcissus" and the "Book of Esoteric Revelations" world quest. Keep in mind that this quest remains hidden, not appearing in the journal even after meeting the necessary requirements.
Looking Glass Locations and Puzzles

Mirror Location 1: Orthant Puzzle Dive
Start from the nearby Teleport Waypoint, swim down inside the ruins, and follow the path to the orthant puzzle. Illuminate torches with Pyro attacks and douse others with Hydro attacks to guide the fish through the sunflower painting.
