I got a mirror blocks but I can't solve the last layer. is there a special thing to know? because F U R U' R' F' doesn't really work.
 
I just solved mine the second time ever a few minutes ago and had some trouble with the LL, too.

What helped me and what you should always remember is, what you are actually doing at the moment : FRUR'U'F' just makes the cross, the edges aren't on their real position.
Its the same as with any other 3x3!
 
Your algs work, but your recognition is the problem.

The alg you posted will orient two edges on the last layer. You have to recognize that if you saved the biggest layer for last, the oriented edges will look more vertical I guess.
 
LL

Greetings, so I received my mirror in the mail yesterday, after scrambling it I was easily able to identify and solve F2L... Well, I cannot solve this thing for the life of me. The LL is dominating me, I average 42s on a reg cube and know 4look-LL. I've tried everything - almost all the algs I know... and I cannot place the corners. The top cross - again easy... Any more detailed advice would be cool... Clearly I need something to click... :mad:

Thanks

PS: This cube looks amazing when scrambled...
 
Thanks for the responce I figured it out about 30 mins ago. Upon scrambling it again I was able to solve it in about 5 mins... I should be good. It clicked and I saw the PLL. :)
 
I can get to the last layer but I dont know how to solve it, I try it just like a regular 1 but it doesnt work

For oll, look at which pieces need to move to match the top center, and find which side of those misaligned pieces is the top, then you should just be able to recognize your cases, if you know full OLL, i just reccomend using 2 look for easier recognition, same for PLL. For PLL just find which pieces are in the right spot, and figure out which case it is and execute it. Mirror cubes take some getting used to.
