After completing the first sub-region of the Mirror Isles in Order of the Sinking Star, you will have a new area with 8 more puzzles to solve. The puzzles in this sub-region mostly have creative answers. As such, we have a guide covering all Mirror Isle puzzles (part 2) for Order of the Sinking Star, and you can find the full step-by-step solutions below.
We start with Puzzle 9 because it’s a continuation from Part 1 of the Mirror Isle puzzles from the first sub-region.

The first puzzle is an introduction to the cloning process. Unlike previous puzzles, you have two yellow circles to activate; they both need to be activated at the same time. So, you need to copy yourself to tackle that.
Start by pushing the right mirror upward by 1 square and then 1 square to the right. Then go for the left mirror. Push it 1 square left, 1 square down, and 3 more squares left. Now, stand on the right side of the left mirror and teleport. This will produce a clone of you on the southeastern isle, while also keeping a copy of you on the original isle.
Now, you need to transfer your original character to the southwestern isle. Push the right mirror up by 1 square to remove the mirror-in-mirror effect. Stand in the same row as the left mirror and teleport to the southwestern isle.
Once you have both characters on separate target isles, you need to have them both on the yellow circles to beat the puzzle. You can use the squares on the edge to create the required distance between the two characters. Try to get your left character to the top square of his isle. Now, if you move left, up, or right, only the character on the right will move. This way, you can adjust the distance between the two characters so that they can go over their circles simultaneously.
Mirror Isle — Puzzle 10
This puzzle requires you to have three characters at the same time. Cloning them is not difficult, but creating the correct distance between the three characters to have them all on their corresponding circles is a bit of a pain.
Leave the right mirror be and just push the left mirror downwards by 2 squares to create a mirror-in-mirror effect. Now, stand one square away from the right mirror and teleport. This will create a clone of you on the southern isle, while keeping the original one on the northern isle.
Use the edge squares to remove the horizontal distance between the two characters. Now, stand in the same spot as before — one square away from the right mirror — and teleport again to create another clone on the southern isle. All you have to do now is send the original character to the southern isle as well. So, push the left mirror into the water and then use the right mirror to teleport to the southern isle.
You should have all three characters on the target isle now. Use the edge squares to create a horizontal distance between them. Each character should be in one row while having a single square horizontal distance from each other.
Hub Area Puzzle 1
After beating Puzzle 10, you will be back to this sub-region’s hub area again. You can use the teleporter platform on the right side of the puzzle entrance as a shortcut to return to the Crossroad or other sub-regions. Forget about that for now.
You continue by going upwards towards the clay platforms. Stand at a proper distance from the window in the top-right corner of the screen to teleport to the snowy area, and then launch the next puzzle.
Mirror Isles — Puzzle 11
Push the southern stone 1 square to the right, and then push it all the way up until it drops into the water and connects the southern and central isles to each other. Move to the central isle and use the mirror to teleport to the western isle.
Push the mirror 6 squares up and then use it to teleport to the northern isle. Move the pink stone 1 square down and press the teleport button to send the stone to the western isle. Now, teleport yourself. You can stand one square closer to the mirror to teleport.
Push the pink stone 1 square up, then push it to the right to drop it into the water and create a bridge. Take the mirror to the central isle using the bridge and place it on the same column as the first bridge we created with the yellow stone. Now, move south on the same column, and use the mirror to teleport to the eastern isle and solve the puzzle.
Mirror Isles — Puzzle 12
The goal here is to bring the yellow stone to the southwestern isle using the mirror, and then create a bridge with it to move to the northern isle.
Start by teleporting yourself to the eastern isle. Push the mirror 2 squares up and 1 square left. Use the teleport button to transfer the stone to the top side. Push the stone up by 1 square. Then, push the mirror down by 2 squares. Teleport the stone to the southwestern isle. Then, teleport yourself next to the stone.
Push the stone 1 square left and then all the way up to create a bridge and activate the green circle.
Mirror Isles — Puzzle 13
Similar to the last puzzle, we also need to create a bridge here, but in a creative way. The dark stone is stationary and immovable. So, you will only have the mirror, the pink stone, and your own character.
Push the mirror 1 square up. Then, push the pink stone 1 square down and 2 squares right. Teleport the stone and push it 3 squares to the right. Now, push the mirror to the right until it hits the stone. Teleport the stone once more, and it should spawn on the middle row.
Go behind the stone and push it all the way to the right to create a bridge and activate the yellow circle.
Hub Area Puzzle 2
After beating Puzzle 13, you will be back in the hub area with a new pink stone available. You will need to use this stone to create a path towards the three remaining puzzles in the area.
Push the pink stone 1 square to the left, 1 square down, 1 square right, 1 square down, and then all the way to the right. Stop at the rightmost square. Don’t drop the stone into the water.
Teleport the stone through the mirror. Now, walk towards the clay square on top of where you pushed the stone earlier to teleport yourself next to the stone.
Once there, push the stone 1 square to the left and then teleport it. It will create the bridge we wanted, and you can now complete the rest of the puzzles in this sub-region.
Mirror Isles — Puzzle 14
Push the purple stone 1 square down, 1 square right, 2 squares down, and 6 squares right. It should be placed on the rightmost tile on the southern isle. Then, push the mirror 2 squares right, 1 square down, and 1 square right.
Teleport the stone now, and it will create a bridge between the two isles, allowing you to activate the yellow circle and move to the next puzzle.
Mirror Isles — Puzzle 15
This is the most difficult puzzle of this sub-region. The goal is to use the pink stones to create space and teleport to creative spots so that you can activate the yellow circle.
Start by pushing the pink stone on your isle up by 1 square. Then, push it 1 square to the left and 2 squares up to drop it into the water.
Now, push the mirror over the pink stone. This way, you will be able to teleport to the northern isle. Push the next pink stone 2 squares down and 1 square to the left. Teleport the stone to its new location, which is inside the water, next to the southern isle.
Finally, teleport yourself onto the pink stone, and you can activate the yellow circle.
Mirror Isles — Puzzle 16
The solution to this puzzle is to drop all three stones into the water to complete the half-made bridge. But the order in which you put stones into the water matters a lot.
To begin, push the mirror right by 1 square. Then, push the stone on your isle 1 square to the left and 1 square down. Now, push the mirror 1 square up, 1 square right, and 2 squares up. You need to place it on the top tile of this isle. Move the stone two squares to the right and teleport it. This will complete the right side of the bridge. Teleport yourself over the same stone, and you can reach the northern isle now.
Now, push the stone on the left onto the stone in the water. Then, teleport the stone to the western isle. Stand in the middle of the bridge and teleport yourself to the western isle.
Push the stone on the western isle 1 square to the left, then push it all the way up and drop it into the water. It should be just left of the mirror. Teleport yourself to the northern isle once again.
There is only one stone remaining now. Push it towards the only remaining spot in the water to complete the bridge. Use the teleport again to go to the western isle. Now, push the mirror to the right and take it to the northern isle via the bridge. Your only task now is to position the mirror in a way that lets you transfer to the southern isle. If you place it adjacent to the end of the bridge, you can teleport to the target isle and activate the yellow circle.
Hub Area Puzzle 3
Although we are done with all the puzzles in this subregion, you still need to move either up, down, or right to explore a new subregion. The path downwards is easy. You just go back to where you entered this subregion and then go downwards.
For the path up or right, you will need that pink stone. So, hold the rewind button to get the stone back. Now, you can use the mirror to teleport it back to the top clay row and push it into the water to explore the northern sub-region. Or, you can push it all the way to the left on the same row of clay tiles and then teleport the stone to have it on the bottom row of the snowy area. With one push to the right, it will create a bridge towards the eastern subregion.
