The Stone Mirror, also localized as Mirrorstone, otherwise known as Kyouseki (mirror stone), is a consumable found throughout the Fatal Frame series. The stone mirror is the third of three recovery items, the other two being Herbal Medicine and Sacred Water. The item consists of a highly polished stone resting on a small cloth. According to in-game descriptions, the stone houses a protective spirit that gives the item its healing effect.
The stone mirror, when held by the player, revives the character automatically after their health is depleted. This can only be done once for each stone mirror. The potency of the stone mirror makes it one of the most valuable items in-game, and it is subsequently rarer than the other two restorative items. The stone is only activated when the player's health is depleted and cannot be used through the Menu Screen.
Prior to Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water, the player can only hold one Stone Mirror at a time.
Trivia[]
- The stone mirror, along with most other recurring items, received a slight change in design for the release of Fatal Frame IV: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse.
- Many cultures hold superstitions about mirrors. Many believe mirrors are able to reflect the soul, which could indicate why the stone mirror is given its abilities in-game.
- The stone mirror is tied with the Ink Bottle for the highest amount of Spirit Points per individual item in Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water at 5,000 points each.
