The Castle of Mirrors is an attraction in Mishelam Wonderland.

Background[]
Initially presented as an attraction, the Castle of Mirrors is a large castle filled with mirrors, ancillary spheres and clocks, resembling a large fairytale castle. The stated goal is to climb the central staircase to the top, ring the bell and pray in front of the large mirror to have a wish granted.
After Dieter Crois' declaration of independence, the new Secretary of Defense Arios MacLaine takes KeA to Mishelam. The Special Support Section follow suit, finding the theme park overrun with Pleroma Grass, and after fighting several cryptids, they reach the Castle of Mirrors where the bell is tolling.
With the central staircase locked, the SSS climb through the fiend infested castle until they reach the top, where they find a hidden room behind the large mirror. There, Arios, Mariabell Crois and KeA are waiting with a massive alchemical machine.
Mariabell reveals that funding and development for Mishelam, including the Wonderland, were all part of the 1000 year plan of the Crois Family of Alchemists to create an artificial replacement for their lost Sept-Terrion. Mishelam itself is built in an area with an especially notable concentration of spiritual energy through the septium veins running below, with the Castle of Mirrors acts as the fourth and final point in an alchemical cross, designed to receive the channeled energy from the Moon Temple, Sun Fort and Stargazer's Tower and the Geofront through the Thaumaturgical Sector of the Orchis Tower.
The SSS try to stop the process, but Arios stands in their way and defeats them easily, forcing them to watch as KeA ascends to become the Sept-Terrion of Zero. Afterwards, Erebonia and Calvard begin their invasion of Crossbell after the IBC's asset freeze, but the three new Aions, empowered by KeA, easily defeat the invading force, with Aion Type-α obliterating Garrelia Fortress with the new Sept-Terrion's power over the higher elements.
The SSS end up arrested on the spot by the Crossbell Defense Force and Noel Seeker, with Arios confirming to Lloyd that he was the one that killed Guy Bannings.

Treasure Chests[]
Key | Contents | Chest Quote |
---|---|---|
1 | Shield 3 | [40/61] At last, he moved his hands from behind his back. Small enough to fit over his palms was a chest--one of a dark, cherry-red wood framed with a steel that was painstakingly etched end to end with florae. |
2 | Secret Arcadia | Where do treasure chests come from? Well, when a carpenter and pile of lumber love each other very much... |
3 | EP Charge III | Things are going in some interesting directions, eh? No wonder they call him Detour Crois. |
4 | Chitin Armor | ZCF and Mishelam Wonderland collaborated to invent new playground equipment. But after months of work, all they came up with was a swing and a Mish. |
5 | Lumiere Sandals | [41/61] Genevieve recognized the craftsmanship right away. No one held the same love for carpentry as her one and only Jubilee. As she made to snatch it from Cyril's hands, he raised it over his head. |
6 | Celestial Balm EX | Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the chestiest of them all? |
7 | Dragon Vision | Monsters: Ra Cailum ×8 |
Arc en Ciel tried to recruit me as a stage prop, but I hate being boxed into only one kind of role. | ||
8 | Criminal / Onyx Gem | Monsters: Malignant Eye ×8 |
Are you back because you thought I was booty-full? | ||
Congratulations! After a game and a half of being a police detective, you finally managed to find the real Criminal. I guess you can stop playing now. |
