Mirror of the Lake

The **Mirror of the Lake** is the Mirror Dungeon of Season 3. It is unlocked by completing Canto II, but the encounters within can change depending on how far one has progressed through the main story.

## Rewards

### Normal

Normal Mode of this Mirror Dungeon have a 3-day max weekly rewards system in place, where the first three reward claims after a dungeon runs in a week (regardless of completion level) will reward the player with extra resources, namely:

* 250 Free Lunacy
* 45 XP for the Limbus Pass
* 100 Manager EXP

Once the Weekly Rewards bonus has been used up, the player will only receive 30 Limbus Pass XP and 100 Manager EXP for any subsequent Mirror Dungeon runs.

### Hard

Hard Mode of this Mirror Dungeon is nearly identical to Mirror of Mirrors Hard, in that beating it consumes all three weekly bonuses along with a once-per-week bonus exclusively for the Hard difficulty. With all three Weekly Reward Bonuses and the Hard Bonus in place, beating it rewards the player with:

* 750 Free Lunacy
* 225 XP for the Limbus Pass
* 150 Manager EXP

**Once the Weekly Rewards and Hard Bonus has been used up, the player will only receive 30 Limbus Pass XP and 100 Manager EXP for any subsequent Mirror Dungeon runs.**

## Starter Buffs

All Starter Buffs may be freely activated or deactivated.

### Secondary Starter Buffs

Secondary Starter Buffs may be activated after their parent buff has been activated. They may be deactivated independently of their parent buff, but deactivating the parent buff will always deactivate the secondary buff also.

### Wish of Stars

After all the primary Starter Buffs has been unlocked, a prompt will appear before each Mirror Dungeon run allowing the players to activate one-time-only buffs using Starlight. There are three such buffs that can be chosen from:

 Rights
 Triumphant Return
 Goals

## Mounting Trials

After each floor's Floor Boss encounter, players may choose a buff to be granted to enemies in future floors along with the usual post-boss E.G.O Gifts. Refusing the Gift will prompt the game to choose a random buff instead.

### Hard Difficulty

MD3 Hard uses a completely different pool of Mounting Trials after each Floor Boss.

## List of E.G.O Gifts

Most E.G.O Gifts from the Mirror of Mirrors can also be found in the Mirror of the Lake. However, some of them need to be unlocked first. The Entry Ticket and Golden Entry Ticket have been removed entirely.

## Encounter Details

### Combat Encounters

The enemies that can be encountered in this dungeon continue to expand floor by floor until floor 3. The specific enemies fought however will be limited to how far the player has progressed in the story. (Example: A player who has not finished Canto V will be unable to encounter Twinhook Pirates)

* Floor 1 contains enemies from Canto 1 to Intervallo 1
* Floor 2 contains enemies from Canto 1 to Intervallo 2
* Floor 3 contains enemies from Canto 1 to Canto 5
* Floor 4 contains the same enemies as Floor 3

Hard Mode adds an additional 5th floor. This contains the same enemies as Floors 3 and 4, except all encounters are now 2-wave encounters.

### Abnormality Encounters

†: These Abnormality Encounters can only be found after the [New Discovery] Starter Buff has been unlocked.

In addition to these, Steam Transport Machine, Shock Centipede, and Faelantern can only be found after the [New Discovery] Starter Buff has been unlocked.

### Bosses

Much like the combat encounters, certain bosses require the player to complete a certain chapter before unlocking the boss. This includes all floor 1 bosses, the Corroded Inquisitors on floor 2, the Intervallo bosses on floor 3, and Kromer on floor 4.

Hard Mode adds a 5th floor, but otherwise shares the same encounter pool for the first 4 floors.
