Resonance Mirror Room Puzzle Solution — Chapter 5 (Colour Reflector)

Last verified: 2026-09-10 · Game version: Launch

Resonance mirror room puzzle

The mirror-room puzzle behind the "O over a line" door in Chapter 5 — align three colored lights to the central pillar's dots. Walkthroughs also call this room the colour reflector chamber, the coloured-lights puzzle or the coloured-mirrors puzzle; it's the same chamber, and Chapter 5 has a second, different light puzzle (see below).

Do this before you aim anything: several of the mirrors sit under petrified growths, and a beam can't be redirected off a mirror that's still covered. Burn the growths off first — one covered mirror is enough to break the whole route.

Quick Solution

Reflect the three colors onto the central pillar's matching dots:

  1. Red: shine the rightmost mirror → shine the right side of the pillar
  2. Blue: left mirror → back-lower mirror → middle mirror → left side of the pillar
  3. Green: back-right mirror → back of the pillar

After the pillar lowers, use the pedestal that appears.

Step 0 — burn the growths off the mirrors

This is the step players skip, and it's why a beam often looks like it stops dead. Before rotating anything:

  1. Sweep each coloured source (red, green, blue) slowly across the room
  2. Where a beam meets a petrified growth, hold it there until the growth burns away
  3. Only then start aiming — the cleared mirrors are the ones used in the route above

If a mirror still won't take the beam, check that segment for growth you missed; the beam is not hitting a wrong angle, it is hitting a covered mirror.

How It Works

  • The goal is to reflect red/blue/green onto the central pillar's matching colored dots
  • A colour has to bounce through the reflector chain — shining a source straight at the column does nothing
  • Blue has the longest path (through 4 mirrors) — reflect step by step
  • All three aligned lowers the pillar and reveals the pedestal

Why you're stuck: the blue path is the longest and easiest to fumble — follow "left → back-lower → middle → pillar left", don't skip a mirror.

Not the bull-pillar puzzle

Chapter 5 has a second light puzzle that gets mixed up with this one: the gem puzzle at the bull pillar in the abandoned camp, solved with the Sphere's Splitting Light mode rather than mirrors. If the room you're in has a bull carved on it, you want the bull pillar puzzle instead.

FAQ

Q: How do you solve the mirror room puzzle in Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy Chapter 5? A: Burn the petrified growths off the mirrors with the light beams first, then reflect the three colours onto the central pillar's matching dots — red via the rightmost mirror, blue through the left → back-lower → middle chain, green via the back-right mirror. All three aligned lowers the pillar and reveals the pedestal.

Q: Why won't the mirrors in the Chapter 5 mirror room reflect? A: Almost always because the mirror still has petrified growth on it. A covered mirror can't take the beam, and one covered mirror in the chain breaks the entire route — sweep each colour across the room and burn the growths off before aiming.
