Trap items *Spoiler*

[Hartsa]

So theres every now and then where you see an item lying on ground. If you go and try to pick it up some umbral monster chomps on you. Are these just baits or is there a way to counter those monsters and get the item ?

think its just bait and no item, and depending on the location it can switch spots which got me like 3 times on the same item because the location was changed more than a few feet and since items seem to not despawn from a loading screen i thought they were all items i just didnt pick up :P

What do you mean grab them? I can't figure out what you mean on how to grab and kill them

You mean Soulflay? ill try this

Edit: Worked! You have to be super close to the item and use the Soulflay in tyhe direction of the item. Since we can't Lockon those items on the ground, you have to manually aim it at the item but the rage of it is way closer than the Lockon enemy range.

use Soul Flay. You won't be able to lock on but just fire it off at the area above the "loot" item in question. You'll kill the mimic they always seem to drop a Vestige Moth and a Charmed Paw, occasionally I've had drop a rune later on.

You can easily tell which are mimics by looking that the light trail of the item in question.
If it moves like it's blowing in a storm it's a mimic. Actual items can move but it'll look like a gentle breeze.

Get into melee range of the item and use soul flay towards the item. Rips the bastard out of Umbral, killing it, and dropping actual loot. My mind was blown when Ziostorm put this in his tips video.
