The Mirror by Zontik Released

New Mission
Released April 24, 2008 - The Mirror a mission for T2 by Zontik

Updated version released on April 29, 2008.

The Mission:
Mr. Garrett W. Spector has a strange vision in which he has been hired to locate and retrieve a mysterious mirror in a world that has never seen one before.

Impressions:
This is an excellent mission. It is very challenging and makes you think. You must read everything carefully for hints about what to do next. The map is not large, but Zontik has used the space very well. You will need to climb and also do a bit of swimming. There are plenty of hints to guide you, though they are not typically direct instructions. I found that some clues were much harder to figure out than others, but generally all the information was given somewhere in the mission.

The city is a pretty place. There are some very scenic areas. The music was fantastic. I very much enjoyed the vocal piece used in the beginning. The music used for the Magic Harp was another of my favorites. That Zontik payed close attention to mood was obvious in his musical choices. Overall, this mission was well thought out and well executed.

The replay potential for the mission is also very good as the mirror's location is randomly selected each time you play, and the location does not depend on which difficulty level you choose, either. I would definitely recommend playing this mission if you like a challenge and like to solve puzzles.

Special Instructions:
You will need to install Cool Codec to see the intro & outro movies. The codec is included in the zip file. See the readme file for instructions.

Stats:
My first time through on Normal took 2:34:09. I found 1818/2320 loot and 3/7 secrets. I got stuck twice and needed additional help from the forum.

Screenshots:

If you need some help figuring this one out, visit the Forum Discussion Thread. You will find lots of hints & help there.
