Tales of the Mirror: 100% Walkthrough & Guide

• Remember to try talk all available topic to all of the character you meet and explore the place as much as you can. I only mark the improtant part.
• There are also combine clue that lead you to the wrong reasoning. But if you aim for the achievemnt then you still have to go for them anyw. I only mark the improtant clue which can use to question and combine to the right clue.
• If you find it annoying to check which line to mark, just mark them all, then in combine mode, use button next to combine button to find out which line is clue and which is not. But there also necessary lines that NOT clue.
• When you go back to the tavern, if the mirror have a speech balloon “…” it mean you should talk to it about the “words”.
