The underground | The Magic Mirror King's Quest Guide

You start the first chapter of the story in the woods. Do not wait and head in the only possible direction, ahead. Run forward, following the path to reach the well.
After you reach the well, you can interact with it to take a look down. Unfortunately, it is too deep for you to be able to go down. Therefore, you need to do something about it.
After you walk around it, on the other side, there is a crank, thanks to which you will be able to throw the rope down. During the interaction, you will have to keep tapping the S key, to be successful.
Interact with the well again, this time to have your character descend safely. You do that by tapping the S key. In the meantime, the narrator - protagonist- starts telling his story.
As soon as you reach the bottom, you need to approach the mattress, leaning against the wall of the cave. After you interact with it, it flips over and reveals a door. You can open it.
At the other side, you walk onto stone ledges. The only thing you can do is walk ahead.
After a while, you reach a chasm , which your character can hop over automatically. In the very same way, he handles the stone steps.
In the next location, you find two spinning wheels. Spin the one on the right, which opens the passage that you can see in the distance. By spinning the one on the left, you make a huge bed crush your character. As a result, you will have to start over (fortunately, you respawn in the same spot).
Now, simply approach the passage and walk into the next chamber.
As you follow the corridor, you can interact with the pile of junk, in order to hear the narrator narrating in a sentimental voice. However, this is not an important element of the game.
Then, you run into a bed. If you lie down on it three times in a row, you unlock a special Steam achievement: "Napping on the Job".
As you proceed, you notice lots of beds hanging down from the ceiling. Even though they keep swaying, they are no threat to you so, you can move along.
Then, you will have to cross over a unstable bridge- there is nothing here that could go wrong and you cannot fall down. In the distance, you notice a napping dragon and the Magic mirror that you are looking for.
At the other side, you find a rope, onto which you climb to get to the ledge.
Once there, go up ahead and take the path into the cave. You will be back again to the elevation, because you cannot do anything there, as of yet.
After a while, you reach a room with old furniture in it. You can take a look at the ancient books here, which will be commented upon by the narrator. The more important thing is to give a spin to the spinning wheel, which moves the huge bell.
Since the noise wakes up the dragon , interact with the nearby bed quickly and hide inside. As soon as the danger is over, you can backtrack to the fork.
On the abovementioned elevation, approach another spinning wheel and use the item that currently is sitting in your inventory (press TAB and select the item from the list). Otherwise, you will be unable to start the mechanism.
If everything goes fine, the bridge drops, which enables you to cross to the other side, which you need to do.
On the next ledge you find a corpse of an adventurer, which will be commented upon by the narrator. You now need to approach the steep wall and walk carefully over the narrow pathway. Right next to you, there is the dragon lurking so, you will soon encounter it.
After a while, you reach the ladder, thanks to which you will be able to descend to a lower level of the cave.
