Mirror Dungeon Event

Mirror Dungeon Event

---

This is a corridor of a large, wooden mansion. Its floorboards are ancient.

You can hear creaking noises approaching from a distance. Something walks in this direction.

'My master had a very unfortunate life.'

'I am the butler of this house.'

'Sad, sad things happened here. Many sad things.'

'I still carry with me my master's portrait because no one remembers them anymore.'

'How is it? Can you see it well?'

Say that you can't see it well. Envy & Pride Advantage check. Pass to gain a Sinking E.G.O Gift. Who will step forth? Envy/ Pride Advantage: ≥ 9 No Advantage: ≥ 18 Check Passed 'I see.' 'If my master is gone from the painting, the memories... what shall I do?' 'What if... one day I start doubting that I ever had a master...' Only the painting remains in the hallway now. E.G.O Gift Headless Portrait Earned! Check Failed 'That cannot be.' 'Look not at the time that is spent, and focus on the painting.' 'The face of my master, who had to go through so much.' You had to sit there and stare at the painting for a while. All allies lose 10 HP and SP.

Say that you can see it well. Envy & Sloth Advantage check. Pass to level up currently deployed Identities. Who will step forth? Envy/ Sloth Advantage: ≥ 7 No Advantage: ≥ 14 Check Passed 'Is not the face of my master so graceful? The eyes, so deep. The gaze, so noble.' 'Thank you. I am starting to remember. The face of my master, reflected on your very own eyes.' All Deployed Identities gain 2 Levels Check Failed 'If you really can see my master's countenance... that's not the face you'd be making.' 'And those unimpressed, lifeless eyes aren't the look one would wear upon seeing my master's face.' We were quickly deemed unwelcome, and were chased out of the mansion. Identities without Envy Affinity Attack Skill lose 10 HP and SP.

Trivia

• Portrait of a Certain Day's mirror dungeon event bears extreme resemblance to a passage from Emily Brontë's novel Wuthering Heights, where the maid Nelly Dean is showing a houseguest a portrait of her late master Edgar Linton following the major events of the novel.
• The E.G.O art for this Abnormality features aspects from the Sinners that is using its E.G.O. This is currently the only Abnormality that does so.
  • Yi Sang's Bygone Days feature pieces of broken glass, while the portrait the Abnormality is holding is replaced by a broken mirror.
  • Gregor's Bygone Days feature insectile appendages, while the portrait the Abnormality is holding has insectile appendages emerging from it.
• The scenery outside the manor in the E.G.O Background of this Abnormality resembles the forest seen in the Battle Background of Faelantern.
  • This may be due to the fact that in Mirror Dungeons, the E.G.O Gift from this Abnormality ('Headless Portrait') can be fused with Faelantern's E.G.O Gift ('Midwinter Nightmare') to produce a unique Tier IV E.G.O Gift ('Black Sheet Music') that is only obtainable through this method.
