Achievement – Find a magic mirror

 I’ll be honest – almost none of the skills matter in this run. Choices are far more important to getting this achievement. The only skill check that matters is your Intrigue, to allow a couple of choice points to open up. I also worked on athletics and reflexes specifically to get the different weekend activities. This didn’t get me any new epilogue panels, but it is another way to win without becoming a lumen.

*From this point, you have enough Court Manners to survive a check later on, and you’ve gotten your Intrigue check. Use the rest of this playthrough to unlock new outfits or read the skill flavor texts. So long as you make the right choice points, you should see the same ending regardless of what mood you’re in, what you do on the weekends (with one exception I will flag) and what skills you learn.
