The Lake of Kalandra
The Lake of Kalandra is an area found in the Kalandra League. Players can use Mirrored Tablets to create paths leading to treasure or enhancement that make the Lake's shrouded waters more rewarding the deeper you go, but also make the encounters more difficult.
Mechanics
Mirrored Tablet
Every area and map in Kalandra League contains a Mirrored Tablet altar used for constructing your Lake of Kalandra. Each Tablet allows you to place 1-2 Reflections (tiles) on the Lake, and completely filling it allows you to run it and reap the rewards you've worked for.
Completed Mirrored Tablets from Act zones must be opened in the Acts, via the Mirrored Tablet columns. Map-tier Mirrored Tablets are itemized and can be opened via the Map Device.
The size of the Lake in the Mirrored Tablet depends on the area level that the Tablet was first generated in. It begins as a 2 by 2 grid in Act 1, up to 4 by 4 by Act 10, and up to 5 by 5 in T16 maps.
Reflection tiles may appear with 2-4 notches on the hexagon borders; these indicate a higher tier encounter. Tiles also scale in difficulty based on their Manhattan distance in the shortest route from the entrance to the reflection. Difficulty scales monster damage and damage reduction, as well as rewards. Rewards scale linearly up to Difficulty 5, then taper off in 6+.
Monster Reflections
Tiles contain packs of monsters with one Unique named "Effigy of X", based on existing Unique Monsters from Acts or Invasion bosses. Defeating around 95% of the tile's monsters spawns a Submerged Chest with random rewards that scales with difficulty.
Monster reflection reward types include generic (currency, maps, gear), quality currency, armour. weapons, and jewellery.

These powers can be used a set number of times per Tablet. Additional uses of these powers can be unlocked by completing certain encounters at the required difficulty.

- 1st use: Any Reflection at difficulty 3+
- 2nd use: Essence Reflection at difficulty 6+

Rewards
Reflecting Mist
Sometimes, Kalandra may appear in the Lake of Kalandra, and create a Reflecting Mist upon completing the encounter, offering you a choice between two Reflected mirrored rare rings or amulets with unusual mods. Some are scaled-up versions of existing modifiers, while others are strong negative versions of the same modifier. The rings provide inverse stats; a negative mod on one ring is positive on the other. The magnitude of the modifiers is dependent on the difficulty of the completed encounter. You may only pick one of these items to take.
Sometimes, it may offer a ring basetype exclusive to the Lake of Kalandra and likewise contains alternate effects based on which ring slot they are equipped into:
- Dusk RingDusk RingRequires Level 24Left ring slot: 15% reduced Skill Effect Duration
Right ring slot: 15% increased Skill Effect Duration - Penumbra RingPenumbra RingRequires Level 24Left ring slot: 30% reduced Effect of Curses on you

These rings come Rare and Mirrored, and contain the higher magnitude modifiers of Reflected rings. They can be vendored 5-to-1 at any vendor to obtain a craftable, non-mirrored version.
Rarely, an evil version of Kalandra will appear shrouded in teal-coloured mist, mirroring Unique enemies in the tile and granting an additional Reflecting Mist. This will be denoted with the following voicelines:
Kalandra: You are meddling in forces beyond your understanding!
Ethereal Reflecting Mist
Rarely, you may be offered the choice to Reflect your own ring or amulet and distort it in a similar process. Again, you may only keep one of the resultant items.
- Influenced, Synthesised, Corrupted, Mirrored, or Unique rings and amulets cannot be Reflected this way.
- Items with Sockets (e.g. Unset RingUnset RingRequires Level 5Has 1 Socket, Unset AmuletUnset AmuletRequires Level 5Has 1 Socket) cannot be Reflected.[1]
