How to Obtain and Use a Magic Mirror in Terraria

The Magic Mirror is one of the unique items in Terraria, which can be used from your inventory. When using this mirror, the player teleports to the last spawn point (the spawn point can be changed with the bed).

Teleportation does not occur immediately, but approximately in 1.5 seconds after use. If you delete or place a spawn point on the bed during this interval, the player will appear at a new spawn location. The mirror can be used an infinite number of times, and it does not require mana. Being such a convenient item, many players are wondering how to get a Magic Mirror in Terraria. In this guide, we will answer your question.

Where to Find a Magic Mirror in Terraria?

There is only one way to find a magic mirror – you have to look for chests located in secret places. A golden chest has a maximum probability of giving this item. Pay attention, that you cannot craft it. So everything depends on your luck.

The mirror is an extremely useful thing for fast travel, which allows escaping in case of danger (for example, when the player is surrounded by mobs).

In version 1.3, an analog was added, which is called “Ice Mirror.” It can be found in ice chests in the underground snow biome. It is similar to a magic mirror and differs only in appearance.

Also, both types of mirrors are used as ingredients to create a mobile mobile phone.

Interesting Facts About the Magic Mirror

  • In version 1.2.4, a return potion was added, which performs the same function as a magic mirror, but teleports the player to the spawn point without a delay of 1.5 seconds.
  • If you teleport during a fight with the Wall of Flesh, you will immediately die at your spawning point, while the tombstone will say, “(player’s name) tried to escape…”
  • If you use it when fighting with a wyvern, it will come to your house and probably kill all NPCs.
