'Through the Looking Glass' is a hidden world quest in Genshin Impact, which is easy for you to overlook if you haven't been focusing on the world around you as you progress through the main world quests of Fontaine.
Quest Explanation
In the 'Through the Looking Glass' world quest, you must "collect" six purple glowing mirrors scattered in the new Morte Region of Fontaine. Whenever you find a purple glowing mirror, you can interact with it to go through it and enter a small room.
The room can either contain a small puzzle or some enemies you must defeat. You will also find a floating goldfish inside these rooms. When you solve a puzzle or defeat the enemies, the goldfish will swim through a mirror that shows a sunflower.
If you've completed The Book of Esoteric World quest, you will remember that sunflower from it as you come across it in the '???' location. This is the same location you visit by meditating using the enigmatic pages at the Merusea Village, where Canotila is.
In this guide, we've discussed the locations of all six purple glowing mirrors and their relevant puzzle solutions. The actual quest is initiated once you've collected the sixth mirror. Note that you can collect these mirrors in any order.

Looking Glass Location 1
The first mirror is inside the underwater ruins, Orthant of Memory, located north of the Tower of Ipsissimus. You can teleport to the underwater teleport waypoint to directly get to the entrance of the ruins.
Keep swimming deeper into the ruins until you reach the open room with an energy machine in the middle.
You will know about this machine if you've completed the 'In The Wake of Narcissus' world quest.
Once inside the open room, you will find a water barrier to the west (to your right) through which sits your first purple glowing mirror.
When you're through, some riftwolves will spawn. Take them out, and you will notice that the floating goldfish has now flown through the mirror with the sunflower.
You can exit the room by going through the purple glowing mirror.
Looking Glass Location 2
The second mirror is inside the underwater ruins known as the Orthant of Souls. Once again, you can use the underwater teleport waypoint to get to the location if you've completed the
.
Go deeper into the ruins and jump to your left to get to the room with another energy machine.
When you get to the central room with the energy machine, turn left (west), and you will find a glowing purple mirror on the wall in the corridor.
When you go through the mirror, you will find several torches and a floating goldfish in the middle of the room.
Use a Hydro character to extinguish all the torches except the one by the mirror with the sunflower.
The torches by the sunflower mirror would be extinguished by default.
Once lit, the goldfish will fly through the sunflower mirror and disappear.
