Wall Mimics, All the frustration of a mimic with no reward.

[Baelfyr]

Why? So many good new additions in the update and then this RNG ♥♥♥♥ your health before you enter a boss because we just trapped you in a tiny room with an enemy that quite literally is the size of the door. I've also read they can spawn IN the boss room, so yeah I guess my real question is when are we gonna see this removed from the game? :)

Hopefully soon. I'm all up for a challenging game, but this is just silly. A difficult enemy with no reward is not very good design. At least the chest mimics give you something, the wall mimics are just an obstacle in the way. The new update is very nice, but there are definately a few kinks to work out I think.

They have the least health of any kind of mimic. And are super rare. They really aren't a big deal.

I've seen at least one per run since the update dropped in fact I've now seen more Wall Mimics than I've seen actual Mimics since I picked the game up again.

Their health isn't the problem, mine is. It used to be a little bit of a sting to accidentally rush down a chest and get hit by a mimic for it but you still had some kind of hey we know we ♥♥♥♥♥♥ you have this as recompense with the Wall Mimics there's none of that and it's twice as capable of trapping the player in some real ♥♥♥♥ places, not to mention that when I clear a room I expect to be safe in this game so I can check my map and get an idea of where to go next etc an enemy that has the ability to spawn in a non-active room is honestly just pretty ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. I'd feel the same with any other rogue-like.

It only attacks if you move really close to it or it gets hit by a shot. If you are really looking at your map, it should leave you alone. I've seen a grand total of three since the update. Maybe you are just really unlucky with the RNG.

There is also a gun mimic but never encoutered it.

Might be so, I haven't seen the pedestal mimic or a number of other new spawns yet but my biggest problem with the wall mimics is their corridor spawn I wouldn't mind them in rooms so much but they only ever spawn in the corridor for me and I have to walk past them to get to the next room the one that spawned in the boss corridor just made me want to set the game down and play something else for a while.

I'm also nearly sure these things are crashing my game occasionally, my switch just went black screen after walking through a corridor in a run I thought something had eaten me or something weird like a new npc etc but it had to have been on of these guys I hope they atleast fix whatever it is that is causing them to brick my game when I see them on occasion. As far as addition to the game go I think they're a real backstep especially after the addition of doublespeed in cleared rooms makes it so much more likely you'll be speeding around not looking for these things very counter intuitive to add both as they contradict each other heavily.

On a final note ♥♥♥♥ Pilot's gun, just ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Pilot's gun.

I haven’t seen any yet. Odd.

I have seen one wall mimic, in the gungeon proper. it was in the interior wall of one of the rooms with an interior enclosure. I was charging up my blunderbluss and I rushed forward to deliver a full blast to the apprentice gunjurer, I missed, backstepped, and a second later the wall mimic activated. I agree, too many bullets and too much health for an RNG enemy.

I have only seen one pedastal mimic, and I hate them too. it was after my fight with blobulord, my stupid Dog didn't bark at it. it shoots way too many bullets way too fast. it's almost miniboss levels of annoying to beat.

if Dog at least barked at them they would be better. if they actually counted for the mimic hunt that would be even better. at the moment they are equivelant to a new enemy type that screws you over during/after boss fights.

You need to havee at least one curse to meet them, if i'm right.

Not sure if thats the case atleast on the Switch version I have avoided curse until i can unlock all the shortcuts etc want to do jammed runs at an easier pace with better unlocks so I haven't been cursed much despite seeing a good few of them

[Smakit]

Yeah I never ran into any yet either (though I've seen probably 5 or more pedestals). Seems kinda silly and pointless, but guess it goes back to the Dark Souls love they have. Would at least make a bit more sense if they did appear that they would be blocking the secret passage wall.

Certainly doesn't seem like anything game breaking and I can live with it, just annoying. Like spawning a fairy while you are already having a hell of a boss fight. =P

[Honorable_D]

They're a pretty big deal when they spawn into the a boss fight...such as my "fun" time with Kill Pillars...

[Derpykat5]

kill pillars + son lol

[wafflekitty]

I had a Wall Mimic spawn during Kill Pillars just today. I used Aged Cheddar to PAC-MAN his butt. Still got the Master Round! lmao
