UTTERLY DISAPPOINTED

[Mirress]

I opened every single chest in the game and wasn't eaten by a mimic once!!!

Are there really no mimics in this game??? What happened to Miyazaki's sadism?

I really miss the horror and shock of being eaten by a chest

[Azra'il]

in b4 modder randomizes all chest loot ~and~ locations in the game and throws an assortment of mimic chests into the fray.

It's probablly in preparation for something big in the upcoming DLCs.
one decoy chest mimic and then it's lever-mimics. literal grace-mimics and elevator-mimics all the way down!

[MegaClaus]

How DARE they removing such an iconic mob from a souls like game. 😤👎

[Riqcrow]

ikr i slapped every chest just to be sure it had no teeth

[Captainn]

I was pretty sad about the lack of mimics as well OP.

[socially ept outcel]

I feel like they could easily have made the teleport chests into mimics that grab you and eat you upon opening, which teleports you. It feels weird in the first place that it's just a mist that comes out of the chest with no teleport animation whatsoever and it makes me wonder if that was the original intent or not

[Drake Ravenwolf]

I still attacked EVERY chest before opening it lol

Even worse, you can't wear a chest on your head anymore. RIP item discovery.

Though ironically enough they did sorta MIMIC this (ok I'll stop lol) on the new mimic hat; it gives you +7 ARC at the cost of some physical damage (you deal, not dealt to you). Nothing TOO crazy, but helps a little.

Though I will always miss the treasure chest boys; will never forget the :
- First time I got eaten in Sen's Fortress
- When I learned you could use Lloyd's Talismans to put them to sleep and get the item still
- Learned the trick that made it so you didn't need to hit the chests anymore AND still know if it was a mimic (there was a minor appearance difference between normal chests and mimics).

Mimics are too heavily associated with Dark Souls now for it them to show up in their new IP. Anyone looking to say that it is 'just big Dark Souls' could just point to Mimic Chests as the strongest evidence.
Teleportation chests are the Elden Ring thing.

But they even used the old chest model (from the Souls series in a couple of instances, if I'm not mistaken), the wooden one, with a chain on the side.

When I saw those, I thought for sure those finally could be mimics... but they weren't

I want a mimic grace site. It would have been cool to have one of the buried hands from the north-west manor under a grace site that would grab and crush you when you go to rest. Just have the enemy not respawn if you are actually resting there.

[SnytaxError]

lol they drop one in the second dlc and it eats everybody.....
