Destiny 2's Witch Queen campaign features eight levels that are packed with combat encounters and story beats. The Mirror is one of the easiest missions in the campaign, yet it can be somewhat disorienting for your first time through.

This mission focuses heavily on using the Deepsight mechanic to destroy hidden objects. Even if you don't struggle on Legendary, you might get stuck on some of the Deepsight sections. This guide will cover the best loadouts for this mission and how to use Deepsight to complete each puzzle.

Locate The Psychic Concentration

Destiny 2 The Mirror First Fragment

You'll start this mission at the southern entrance to Miasma, a small part of Savathun's Thorne World. The waypoint on your HUD will bring you to the entrance of this region's Vow of the Disciple raid. A swarm of Scorn enemies are protecting the entrance, guarding a strange Darkness Fragment floating in the center. You'll need to eliminate the Chieftains, then destroy the fragment to proceed. The enemies aren't that tough.

Once the fragment is broken, turn around and follow the path to the sunken building just north of your location. A second Darkness Fragment is present here, blocking the path forward. Breaking the shard will remove the Darkness gate and let you progress.

Destiny 2 The Mirror Scorn Adds

You should now be in Witch's Echo. Use your Sparrow to quickly traverse the area, eventually entering a cavernous area protected by a small group of Scorn. Once again, they shouldn't pose much of a threat. If they push you, find nearby cover and focus on the Chieftain. Past the enemies will be a Deepsight orb, allowing you to find the path forward.

Using Deepsight

Destiny 2 The Mirror First Deepsight

Interacting with the Deepsight orb will shift the Hive statue in front of you, causing it to point in the right direction. This Deepsight also allows you to walk through certain walls, appearing transparent with a slight grey mist. Follow the path until you reach a rather spacious room with yet another Deepsight orb.

Reveal The Path

Destiny 2 The Mirror Deepsight Darkness Gate Room

Near the back-end of the room will be two groups of Scorn. An Abomination will spawn by itself on the left, the right group consisting of various Scorn adds. Throw your grenade on the right pack of adds to quickly take them out, and use your Heavy weapon to deal with the Abomination.

With the Scorn dealt with, interact with the Deepsight orb at the center of the room. Facing the Darkness gate, turn left to find a transparent wall you can run through. Following this path will lead you to a short platforming section. As in previous missions, use the Deepsight orbs to reveal nearby platforms and the path forward.

One-Shot Snipers


Destiny 2 The Mirror Sniper Tip

Scorn snipers are dealing twice as much damage as usual. This will be patched next season. For now, play through this section cautiously, taking out any Scorn enemies from a distance.

Destiny 2 The Mirror Platforming Fragment

Now that you've finished the platforming section, you'll now have to face a small group of Scorn guarding yet another Darkness gate. These enemies deal high damage, but they're fairly weak. A well-placed grenade or rocket should kill most of them. If you're struggling with this part, use the platforms you just came from as cover, picking away at the enemies from a distance. Once dealt with, look behind a Hive brazier to your left and destroy the Darkness Shard. This will remove the gate and reveal the path forward.

Destroy The Interference: Gate #1

Destiny 2 The Mirror Statue Deepsight Area

You'll enter a circular room that has a single Deepsight orb. Interact with it, then go right. You'll find a second Deepsight orb and a Hive statue. Using this orb will point you to the right of this corridor, yet it's blocked. You'll need to destroy two Darkness Fragments to remove the gate.

The first fragment is located directly behind the gate. Turn around, and you should see a small group of Scorn in a newly-revealed room. Killing these Scorn will let you destroy a floating shard near the ceiling.

To find the second fragment, you must backtrack to the circular room you came from earlier. Wait for your current Deepsight buff to expire, then use the orb in the room. Head left this time. Once again, you'll need to kill a small band of Scorn and a Chieftain. The shard is floating in a circular structure bathed in red light.

With both fragments destroyed, head back to the circular room and re-activate Deepsight. Head right to find the Hive statue again. Swing right to find the next room and Darkness gate.

Destroy The Interference: Gate #2

Destiny 2 The Mirror Gate 2 Room

In between the two Hive statues in this room has a Deepsight orb. You'll find a Darkness gate to your right that requires three Darkness Fragments to be shattered. Before you work on destroying the fragments, be sure that the Scorn in this room are dealt with first. Two Abominations will spawn near the back, so use your Heavy and Super to quickly kill them. The rest of the enemies shouldn't give you much trouble.

The first fragment is right above the Deepsight orb. Invoke your Deepsight power, look directly up to find a new platform. Climb onto the platform, then look to the ceiling to find a glowing Darkness Fragment.

You'll find the second fragment to the left of the Deepsight orb. Run to the very back of the room and look left. You should see a transparent wall hiding a fragment.

The third fragment is hiding under the room. From the second fragment, turn around and run near the Darkness gate. Left of the gate is a transparent floor you can drop through. You'll find the fragment down here. Climb back up when you're done to run through the gate.

Continuing On The Path

Destiny 2 The Mirror Main Gate Fragment

Clearing the second Darkness gate will lead you back to the large circular room you came from earlier. You can now destroy the fragment floating in the circular pit on the floor. Thankfully, this is the last gate you need to open this mission. Follow the newly-opened path to reach the first and only encounter in this mission.

Defeat Skirvaa, Abhorred Chieftain

Destiny 2 The Mirror Boss Encounter

Encounter Breakdown

Objective

Defeat Skirvaa, Abhorred Chieftain

Notable Enemies

Raiders, Abominations

Shields

None

Before you start the encounter, equip the best DPS weapons in your inventory. The faster you kill this boss, the sooner the encounter will end.

This encounter is your typical Destiny boss encounter. A massive Scorn Chieftain named Skirvaa will spawn at the other end of the room. This enemy deals massive damage with its Arc launcher, so be sure you never stay too far from cover. You'll initially get pushed by Scorn Lurkers and Ravagers, Raiders sniping you from the sides of the arena. Kill the Raiders immediately, and use a spare grenade or melee ability to clear out the melee units.

Pools Of Light


Destiny 2 The Mirror Boss Encounter Energy Tip

Energy pools will spawn periodically during this encounter. Stand in them to gain significantly increased ability and Super regeneration for a short time.

Besides the initial wave of enemies, your top priority should be to kill this boss as soon as possible. The second Skirvaa dies, the encounter needs. Skirvaa isn't particularly tanky, so give them everything you've got. A good Rocket Launcher and DPS Super is enough to kill them outright or bring them to critical health.

Should Skirvaa survive, a few more waves of Scorn enemies will spawn. It's mostly more melee units, although a wave spawns when Skirvaa reaches 33% HP that contains two Abominations. If they spawn, kill the Abominations before refocusing your attention on Skirvaa. Kill the Chieftain as soon as you can, and the encounter will end.

Unveil The Memory

Destiny 2 The Mirror Altar of Reflection

Savathun's unique icon will appear near the Rally Flag you placed earlier. Jump atop the hanging platform behind the icon to activate the portal ahead. This portal will take you to the Altar of Reflection, a secluded area in Savathun's Throne World. There are no enemies here; simply follow the waypoint on your HUD to reach your objective. The final room will let you relive one of Savathun's memories, ending the mission.
