why the ♥♥♥♥ is every chest a mimic?

[Karta]

i get it fromsoft, youre trying to be funny and clever with these mimic chests. But why the ♥♥♥♥ is every chest in the game a mimic? at least dark souls managed the chests well, literally every chest ive come across in DS3 has been a mimic.

I was still waiting for the mimic bonfire which didnt happen sadly, well there is always the dlc :p

Carry some Undead Hunter Charms.
Then the Mimics act like chests (for a little while anyway.)

I think it was something like 17/23 chests are mimics. And most of the safe chests are all in one room. The idea being that the world is absolutely ♥♥♥♥♥♥ so most things are evil creatures. Hence, real chests are uber rare.

Mimics are only useful once, they are faceroll easy to kill and you know to check for them every chest

I think they've killed me more than any boss did, except for the Nameless King. They've never even hit me, but I've suffered more than my fair share of grabs. The tracking on that thing... Sometimes, I start believing that it completely ignores iframes. They're my personal nemeses.

Funny how in DS1, you don't find one until Anor Londo and only then there were a few. DS2 you saw one fairly early and even then there were about a few. DS3.....holy sheet, how do they fcking breed?!

Sen's fortress. You found the first one in Sen's Fortress. Lightning spear ftw

The only actual reason to fight mimics is for either souls or the Helm of Avarice.

Beyond that, you don't ever even have to fight one.

Throw an undead hunter charm at it, get the loot and move on.

I keep seeing this kind of threads popping, yet in my playthough I felt that they were all around quite few (especially in the end-game zones).

Has anyone actually ever counted?

Ahh yes, forgot about that one. xD I typically didn't run a spell build soI hardly ever got that one.

Let me guess, you're talking about the area called Irithyll Dungeon/Profaned Capital? That area has an abundance of mimics, but a great deal of chests are not mimics. The largest possible estimate is that one third of all the chests in the game, which are not overly abundant anyway, are possibly mimics. Kill them, charm them, do what you will and move on. They aren't nearly as bad as the poor optimization that crashes people's games.

I've encountered 3 or 4 off the top of my head.

There aren't a whole lot of chests in this game period but with regards to mimics I do have to admit I laugh a bit when I see folks complain about em.

They're so easy to spot. lol

^^^ The chains bro...all about dem chains. Except for the one in Profaned Capital. That one has the chains in the treasure pile so you can barely see it.
