Doppelganger (formerly known as Mirror Self) is the final foe before Ascension, faced during the Augury Rock Mission, and needs to be defeated in order to proceed in the game.
Both Male and Female Doppelganger are wearing a modified version of Warrior Wyvern armor, colored completely jet black. They do not wear a helm, and their faces are aflame, seemingly made of lava.
Characters that go up against their Doppelganger will see the following differences:
- The Doppelganger equips the same skills as the player has when facing it, which is one of the keys of defeating it. However, Rangers that face the Doppelganger should note that animal companions are NOT duplicated.
- It has 12 rank in every attribute except for Swordsmanship, Axe Mastery, and Hammer Mastery.
- It is always armed with an Eternal Bow or a Flame Artifact (dyed black) and a Chaos Axe, all of Max damage, and will switch weapons depending on whether the player is in melee range or further away.
- It has also been observed wielding a Tormented Spear.
After defeating the Doppelganger, the player acquires 1,000 experience points and is teleported to Dragon's Lair. Also, if the Doppelganger is defeated in under 10 minutes, the player is awarded 50,000 additional experience points; this counts as the bonus for the mission (needed for the Protector of Tyria title).

Notes
- The Doppleganger has 480 Health in normal mode and 680 Health in Hard Mode.
- The 50,000 experience points are only awarded if the character has not already ascended in their native campaign by completing the Canthan mission Nahpui Quarter for Factions characters, the Elonian quest Hunted! for Nightfall characters, or already achieving the Doppelganger bonus on Prophecies characters. The 50,000 experience bonus is only awarded once per character.
- Although it wields an axe, the Doppelganger can also use Sword, Hammer, Dagger and Scythe Attack skills. It is also seen using spears and scythes. It can even perform a dagger-based dual attack with the axe.
