hehe, happened to me as well on my first run. Mimic bit me, did a little taunting dance, then dove into the lava. Next time, mimic!

Mimics are 1 shot deals like chests (that eat you). You just die or kill them and if you lose it you lost it. The only way to get them back is a bonfire ascetic (bad idea) or wait till NG+.

I believe he's using the tem "1 shot deals" as in one chance to get its loot.

Loyd's Tailisman will make it open it's mouth so you don't get bite while getting the treasure.

I know the loyds talisman trick from the first one but I didnt know it was a mimic back then.

Not sure what you can do about that. Make sure you've both left via a loadings screen AND bonfired if you haven't already. Failing that, bonfire ascetic.

Mimics seem to give away less clues animation-wise compared to DS1. But their is one very easy way to recognise them by a quick glimpse. Look for a keyhole just under the front of the lid. If it has one, you have a mimic. No keyhole = normal/trapped chest.

This wasn't the case for me at The Doors of Pharros. I had never encountered a mimic before. I noticed the difference with the keyhole but saw no movement at all (you can see DS1 mimics breathing and other weird stuff). Wooden chest so I didn't want to hit it with my GS so I tried opening with thinking I had enough health. Killed me in the initial chew-up. But it was still there when I came back. Resting is disguise.
