Getting through the mirror

[Fendelphi]

So anyone figured out how to get through the mirror?

Read the books in the area. They have the answers to his questions. But i think you have to tell the mirror that you work for the wizard before he asks you the questions.

You mean the one in the village basement? That's easy...

All clues are in one book pretty much in the first room of the cellar iirc

I found this mirror on my second playthrough. On the first playthrough I didn't even notice the mirror and my party walked right through it.

Be careful. There are some hideous bugs down there.

Maybe I was just overthinking it. I thought I had to find something special to get through, but I simply declared myself an ally and passed through easy enough.
Was there a way to get through without declaring yourself an ally?

Haven't tried but there is no penalty for saying that you are. You're just lying.

Does the book you find down there do anything beyond speak with the dead?
