Poets palace access - third mirror

Can anybody help please? I have the quest, then I click on the mirror to get 'remember the vision', but nothing happens and I can't see any orbs appearing anywhere in the zone

 

Is that the part you have to place the figures from the front room to the one on the side?

 

No, done that. It's the last mirror. The wiki says "

• Right click the mirror and gaze into it to get the quest.
• Right click the mirror and select "Remember the vision" to pop the orb (clock) you need.
  • All around on this floor orbs will now pop along the walls. A random one will be glowing faintly red and be clickable.
• Find the clickable orb, examine it to wind the clock in it and get your update

But when I do this I don't get an orb (clock) and I can't find any orbs appearing

 

To be honest, this is the most tedious dungeon in the whole game, only doing it for my epic weapon

 

Is it a visual situation? I couldn't even see the game in Diaku Corral for a few days because I had my particle effects turned down slightly.

 

no, but eventually I gave up and reset the zone and this worked, thank you for the help.

 

Poet's Palace is such a mess, if you do something even slightly wrong it might not trigger the next stage properly. I remember having to farm that zone for the Brigand epic and it was such a nightmare.

 

That would be the part where you need to kill the mobs in the side rooms then. the part with the slow-mo automatic doors.
Think there was like 4 side doors you need to do.

 

It is a ring event for each room so you need to kill the encounters till they stop popping.

 

It is also a visual issue. Depending on your system and your settings some of the objects won't appear until you're right on top of them, if at all. As I understand it the problem is essentially the same as seeing a glass on a table in someone's house or something similar.
