Remnant 2‘s The Awakened King DLC arrived with a lot of new content and loot, but in classic Remnant fashion, the best things are locked behind obscure secrets. In the Glistering Cloister, you will find a gothic room with a floor that looks like a dark pool of water. Inside, there’s a riddle on a table that makes zero sense, and a loot drop you can’t quite reach. Here’s how to solve the mirror room puzzle in The Awakened King, ignore the red herrings and grab the ring.
How to Reach the Glistering Cloister Mirror Room in Remnant 2
Introduced as part of The Awakened King expansion in Losomn, Glistering Cloister can be found in the northeastern end of Forlorn Coast, beneath the big collapsed bridge you’ll spot on your way to the castle. It’s an optional area that takes you to Bruin, Blade of the King boss, and the mirror room comes on the way to the arena.
The layout looks very similar to a capital T. You enter at one end of the top horizontal line, Bruin waits at the bottom vertical section, and the mirror room is at the opposite end of that top line. The hallways might be a little tricky with some confusing passageways, but it’s easy once you know you have to head to the end of the T.
Remnant 2 map layouts are rarely static. This mirror room is an “injectible” event, which means even though it appears most frequently in the Glistering Cloister, it can spawn in other Fae palace maps like the Gilded Chambers, Pathway of the Fallen, or Shattered Gallery. The room is a large, open Gothic hall with a reflective, dark mirror surface on the floor. There are balconies above, but the action happens on the ground level.

When you walk in, the first thing you’ll probably inspect is a table with a note. The riddle reads as follows:
A bird alight, Without a wing, A lauded song, No voice can sing, A branch that falls, Without a sound, Will what is hidden, E’er be found?
That note is just for flavor. I wasted much time to decipher if I needed to equip a specific bird-related ring or listen for a sound cue. It’s a trap here set to waste your time. The actual riddle solution lies within the mirror. Look closely at the reflection, you will notice that the world down there doesn’t correctly match the world up here.
Walk around the room and stare down at that reflective floor. You will see the differences between reality and the reflection—specifically, a glowing golden vase that appears in the mirror but doesn’t exist in reality above. Take a second to figure out where that reflected vase should have been placed if it were to exist on the real floor.
After you confirm its exact position, shoot with the weapon at the exact vase area in the room. With that, the pottery will break, and a purple item will drop to the ground near the pillar base. That’s your reward for the puzzle.
If you can’t be bothered to line up the shot or can’t find the specific vase, you can brute force this. Explosive weapons like the Meridian or large AoE melee attacks like the Spectral Blade’s whirlwind can hit the invisible object without precise aim. Just blast the shelves on the central pillar, and you’ll likely trigger the drop by accident.
Your reward for busting the ghost pottery is the Shaed Stone ring, a solid pickup for caster builds. It provides a flat 12% increase to Skill damage. While that might sound normal compared to some complex conditional rings, it’s a generic “always-on” buff that needs no setup.
Especially for the Ritualist from the DLC or a heavy damage-dealing Hunter, this ring is great to push your DPS numbers further with no need to worry about procs or cooldowns. The damage increase applies to all skills, which makes it a good pick for most ability-specific builds.
