Now, back in the starting area where you first met Eleanor, you'll see that all the chains have been broken, and Eleanor will be kidnapped by a boss you'll meet very soon.
Crouch in front of the mirror where Eleanor was, and you'll be teleported to the Hall of Mirrors. You can explore this area now, but first we need to defeat the boss so the fog on the map disappears.

Interact with the lever, then use the Arcane Whip to climb to the upper part. Go through the door on the left, then use the Arcane Whip again to climb up. Here you'll see three large mirrors. Stand at the middle mirror and crouch until you're teleported to the next area.
Go down on the left, go through the door on the right, and then use the Smash arcane power to break the floor.
Go through the door on the left and down the platform. Go through the first portal on the right, then the next portal on the right. Now stop in front of the small mirror and crouch to be teleported.
When you reach the next area, go down the stairs and enter the boss room to defeat the Succubus (The Temptress). As a reward, you'll get the Life Drain arcana, and the fog on the Hall of Mirrors map will disappear.
