Mimic is an Enemy in Dark Souls and Dark Souls Remastered. Enemies are hostile creatures that respawn when players rest at a Bonfire or upon death. Special enemies that do not respawn are classified as Bosses, Mini Bosses or Invaders .

Mimics are enemies disguised as a treasure chest, hence their name. They are patiently waiting for a gullible adventurer to come walking straight into their greedy clutches. Even though they are creatures mimicking a chest, they still have unique treasures inside; which are most likely undigested possessions from their previous victim. Mimics will not respawn after they have been slain.

Mimic General Information

They look very similar to normal chests, but there are a couple of ways to tell them apart.

• All chests have a chain attached to its right side. A Mimic's chain bends back and forth towards the front, while the chain of a normal chest curves in one large arc towards the back.
• Mimics appear to breathe. Look closely, or use the binoculars or a bow, the lid will open around every 10 seconds when it takes a breath.
• If you look closely, you'll notice that the colour of a mimic chest is paler than a regular chest.

Mimic Interacting with an idle Mimic

• If you open a Mimic chest normally, it will grab you and attempt to eat you whole.
• If you attack the chest instead, it will rise up and reveal itself. Prepare to fight.
• If you throw a Lloyd's Talisman at the Mimic, it will open the lid without waking up so you can grab the goodies inside. This is very convenient when farming for the Symbol of Avarice, since they do not respawn.
• If you want to get a Symbol of Avarice it is recommended to punch the Mimic, then throw a Lloyd's Talisman
  at the mimic to stun it. Repeat this until you get the item.
