Symbol of Avarice

[Knight Silver]

How many can you get per playthrough? I just want to make sure so I don't waste any more Lloyd talismans.

If you kill all mimics, the last one will drop the symbol of avarice.

Edit; oops! Sorry, wrong DS forum, haha!
In this DS, Nightmare is right. Killing all the mimics does give you the Symbol (worked for me in this DS).

I already have a Symbol of Avarice, I just want to make sure that I don't waste the 40 talismans I have left.

From my understanding, you're only guaranteed one, which will be triggered after 7 Lloyd's. After that, who knows.

It's not dropping again, so I conclude it's a one per playthrough kind of thing.

Oh well.

Huh? Really, guys? Hmm...

If you didn't already know, it can virtually/theoretically drop as a random drop from every mimic in the game. They have a small chance to drop it. But, I might have missed something - does Lloyd's also offer this chance for random Avarice loot?

On one playthrough, I have 3... one from Duke's(magic shield chest), one from Anor Londo, and the guaranteed from whatever the last one was.

Lloyds count.

I spent 80 Lloyds and only got one... but that was from only one chest so I'll find out later.

Each Lloyd's thrown at a Mimic, causing it to sleep, counts as a Mimic death. Throw enough Lloyd's at one for the game to think you've killed the maximum number of Mimics in the game, and you are guaranteed to receive the Symbol from that Mimic.

That is news to me. Cool. So what I mean is, can you spam the lloyd's to trigger the chance to drop that otherwise requires you to kill the mimic, or do you have to kill it for that random chance?

You are NOT guaranteed a Symbol once every Mimic is killed. I killed EVERY mimic in the game and never received a symbol.

It's been too long since I did it, but I know I killed every one. I even looked up several guides and things afterwards to make sure I didn't miss anything and I had gotten every Mimic.

On my first 2 playthroughs, I got one symbol each, both from the last Mimic I killed, excluding those in Oolacile. So my guess is, that the last one of the non-DLC Mimics is a guaranteed drop. Maybe with an exception if one dropped randomly before that, but that didn't happen to me. Anyway, 2 playthroughs are probably not enough for empirical evidence.

[Demon of Razgriz]

Yes, it has a high chance, but it is not guaranteed. That is what I was saying.
