Hereā€™s How to Answer the Ornate Mirror in Baldurā€™s Gate 3 (BG3)

Youā€™ll find the mirror in question in a cellar in the Blighted Village and, when you activate it, itā€™ll start quizzing you. The answers you can give vary a little depending on which character youā€™re in control of but, for the sake of this guide, letā€™s assume youā€™re in charge of your own custom character.

Firstly, save your game before talking to the magic mirror, just in case your finger slips. Being in the same room as a fire-spewing sphere is not a pleasant experience. Hereā€™s how to answer each question.

  1. Tell it your name
  2. Yes, an ally! Iā€™m an ally of your masterā€™s!
  3. A foul lich. May he die a thousand more deaths (or whatever negative response you have).
  4. To clean a wound
  5. Iā€™d look for whatever spell will rid me of this worm in my head.

Answer correctly and youā€™ll be able to step through the gap where the mirror was and head further into the laboratory. Those, then, are all Ornate Mirror questions in Baldurā€™s Gate 3 answered.
