Chamber of Command in Gauntlet of Shar

[Sohamkar]

Does anyone know what to do with the Chamber of Command in the Gaunlet of Shar, You can reach it by jumping (with featherfall spell) from area near the orthon. There is one broken Mirron of Loss and One Shar Mural / Painting / Some books.

I have found two loose tiles after passing 2 fairly hard perseption checks. Both only contained 40-50gold but nothing else.

My guess is that it has something to do with the normal mirror outside but I have not found anything yet. Figrued a light cantrip might work since it "consumes light" but nothing. Turning all the lights on/off changed nothing either. Id say its likely has something to do with the murals words.

As far as I could tell it's practically a treasure room to loot and the mirror foreshadows some things in Act 3 at the conclusion of Shadowheart's arc.

True,
I have no idea what to do here besides the one chest and 3 hidden tiles with little gold

You can find a silver key behind the broken mirror but I have no clue what you use it on. Game bugged out on me with one of the hidden tiles and says that I can't reach it even though I'm standing right in front of it and can clearly reach it so there might be something in the bugged hidden tile, I only found gold in the other 2 hidden tiles.

You will find a whole Mirror of Loss in Act3

So, I think this area has some cut content.

Just above it is a spider's corpse and if you pass a few skill checks and lick the spider meat(Passing a constitute check) you learn the meat has been charmed and you're told it's a succubus charming the meat. However, there is no succubus in the temple at all. There's also a very auspicious chest on a perch just to the top right of the spider meat that's rather obviously inviting and well lit but nothing happens - there's not even a trap to disarm.

I would have thought the Chamber of Command would have been where the Succubus stayed and would have lead to a unique interaction(Charming the main character and possibly tempting you over your romance interest which would annoy them or just a simple mini-boss fight). There's nothing there at all. The mirror that's broken, when you inspect it and - I think - pass a perception check or religion check, the narrator tells you the mirror is broken and useless. If you read the book you pick up in the room there's a note about how the previous occupants(Shar worshippers) might be lucky enough to find a similar mirror to know it's true purpose. From what I could see there is no other mirror in the shar temple.

All in all: I think it was where a succubus was supposed to be and it would have provided another side quest or just a straight forward mini-boss.

Edit:

Apparently this was noticed before re the spider meat and mentioned in a thread here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1086940/discussions/0/3823048293507833976

Looks like you could talk to the Displacer Beast who would tell you she's in love with the demon you have to kill for Astarion's companion quest. I never had the chance cause I couldn't catch up to the Displacer Beast.

So, maybe it was just a loot room.

The key is for the chest that's right beside where you found it. lol. This all adds to the feeling it was an area that has cut content in it(Why have a key to a chest right beside the chest you unlock it with?).

there is a locked gilded chest just to the right of the entrance to the room that it unlocks, if you already picked the lock then the key is essentially useless

the broken mirror is just a teaser of the real one to find in act3

Oh, I've found several chests that had the key to it hidden pretty close by. I assume it's for a party that doesn't run a rogue.

Dont asume everything is cut content.
