You should flesh this out and also do a written solution, not a criticism (+1 voted) but because your end strategy of hiding behind the pillars was so helpful. I went from 2 hours of attempts to doing this first attempt.

Excellent work on YouTube with all the guides!

@Snitty 1 - You unlock the side-mission by finding the Mirror Supplement collectible in the Containment Sector, then go to Synchronicity Lab (close to Ritual Division Control Point) in the Research Sector.

@PREADTORDAP - Complete the game, do everything else, then go to Chapter Select and start the main mission before you attempted the side mission (i.e. if you did this during Mission 8, start Mission 8 from chapter select). You should be able to just try again, the game puts you in an "as you were" state.

Didn't even occur to me to go to the upper level and use the pillar for cover. Like NoHeroes94, I had a frustrating string of defeats when I could not kill the final 1/8 of health just running, gunning, and throwing.

Hide behind the pillar for the final 1/3rd of the battle, and take no damage, whaaaaat?

Crazy, but effective. Thank you.

The same thing as PREDATORDAP happened to me. I returned in the mirror thinking that maybe I missed something and the achievement popped right away.

Same thing happened to me also.
But returning to mirror did not help.
Then just five minutes later I had a delay pop.

Certainly struggled with her third form, until going up top and shooting her through the little gap in the pillars. She just sits there.

I died quite a few times fighting her until I switched to the Grip with some + dmg mods and just shot her with a few launches thrown in as I reloaded, fight was over in 5-8 seconds per form or so.

Since the other guide didn’t show or tell the one thing I wanted to know...

To unlock the cell door:

On the left side press the second and the third button

On the right side press just the first button

You will get access to this side mission during "The Face of the Enemy" main mission. During the "Self-Reflection" side mission in the Mirror Testing room via Synchronicity Lab in the Research Sector, you must solve the puzzle to interact with the Mirror first. The puzzle solution is:

(Left side as you enter room) Open, closed, closed
(Right side of room) Open, closed, closed

Now go in and interact with the Mirror. Be ready for a fight as esseJ has three battle phases:

Phase 1: At the start of the fight, she is very mobile. So use Launch and Grip attacks. If she gets too close, use Shatter to get her away from you. Use Launch attacks as she flees for cover.

Phase 2: esseJ will use Shield, and Launch attacks. Use your own Launch attacks to bring down her Shield and unload on her with your Grip.

Phase 3: esseJ will levitate, use Launch attacks, and use ground slams. Use Launch attacks to throw her off balance as you continue to fire at her with Grip. When she does use ground slam, just evade at the last moment and blast her with Shatter. Alternatively, you can head to the second floor and just pick her off by being behind a pillar. This way, esseJ can't see your Launch attacks coming.

The locked door with level 6 clearance is located in the Synchronicity Laboratory (Ritual Department).
The shutters need to be installed the same way they appear in the Mirror - nothing complicated.
After entering the Mirror, an acquaintance and fight with a secret boss will begin (in fact, the boss should be called “issed”, of course).
Three of them, in turn, hit mostly with missiles.

In addition to the riddle with mirrors, there are also 2 more puzzles at the level:

1 is easy, where you need to assemble a symbol on the monitor in a mirror dimension in accordance with its original in real life.

Riddle 2 with Newton's cradle (these are tabletop clattering balls) is harder here. All 6 balls must move synchronously. If successful, you will hear a very loud noise with each blow (perform the same procedure with the balls when you come out of the mirror), after which you catch the bonus

Pysy the boss's name IsseJ is a transliteration from English. where letter J = J

Perhaps the easiest boss in the game. The tactics are the same as against the “exalted”: we protect ourselves with a shield from throwing, after which we ourselves throw and shoot. Falls in one fight.

There is no ease here, the boss is able to let you light a cigarette (unless you have pumped everything to the max.), because... your reflection has much more lives and damage, so I recommend shooting from the stairs (from where you came to the battle). Use cumulatively and take apart 'isseJ' piece by piece.

After the battle, you may not notice and miss the IssezhD suit .
He is on a mannequin in the laboratory behind broken glass.

According to the introductory riddle, where you need to lower the “curtains” - On the left, open the second and third shutters from the remote control, on the right - the first.
According to the boss - she will get lost if you stand on the stairs from where you came into the hall (where the mirror is), just lean out and throw junk at her, when she starts flying - just stand behind the wall (at the corner between the first and second stairs) and look out only with the trunk (change the hand of fire, lower key on the d-pad) - 80 percent that it will glitch and levitate in place + not attack you. Just put bullets in her.,

A locked door with level 6 clearance is located in the Synchronicity Laboratory (Ritual Department)
As you enter the room, go up and open the second and third shutters from the control panel on the left, and the first ones on the right. And the door in the middle will open. We go into the looking glass, run around there, look at our reflections in the glass and the battle will begin in 3 phases, the first two are easy, the third boss starts flying and naughty everyone, dive in and shoot or throw at the rat, it is dexterous and nimble.
