I was sweating bullets
>>336278872
Just look at the chain anon
>>336279097
is there any downside to just hitting the chests?
>>336279097
Before I knew about chains
>1st chest
phew
>2nd chest
oh boy
>3rd chest
jesus fucking christ
>>336279236
Just use undead charm/lloyds talisman. It works just like in DS1
>>336278872
>people who have never played a dark souls before and don't know how to use a llyods talisman
>>336279236
It's just faster and easier to tell plus nto having the insecurity moment of not knowing if you're hitting a mimic or a chest
I usually just look at the chain and then put a buff to the weapon + 2 hand it in order to maximize damage, something you probably won't do if you can't tell
It's not something hard to learn or a magic formula to do
Chain extended = mimic
Chain coiled = chest
>>336279470
i never told my friend about the chain thing because he said he wanted to go in totally blind. i loved watching him play, especially at this part he started fake crying and didn't move an inch.
>>336280065
Nice, never realized that, I just stare at it, if it actually breathes, its a mimic.
Yeah once you know about the chains it kind of really shits all over the suspense.
No more approaching a chest cautiously. Just "wup, curved chain. Lemme open this shit" or "this motherfucker thinks he's sneaky"
>>336280065The last mimic in the game has a 'true' looking chain and it also moves like a DaSII mimic when aggroed
>>336280846
There's probably shitloads of signs to mark it then
I hit each chest anyway. I will never just open it.
>>336281170
qt pupper, let them sleep
>>336278872
And with that you just opened half the real chests in the game
>>336278872
Why?
None of the chains were facing forward.
>>336280846
which one is that?
>>336280846
I'm doubtful about this because I was playing last night and the mimic in the sewer near the giant in Irythyll Dungeon moved like the DaS2 mimics.
>tfw it bugged out and clipped under the floor to do a grab attack on me
Man I was so bummed out with the amount of mimic chests in Dark Souls 3.
It really took out a lot of the surprise when it felt like every other chest was a fucking mimic. Pretty sure the first chest I even found was a mimic.
>>336283427
This. I really like DaS3 and already played it for 100 hours but this is something I really despise.
Why put in mimics if you make 80% of chests mimics? What is the point anymore? After the 3 consecutive mimic you are going to hit every goddamn chest anyway.
>>336282919
Lothric Castle past the 2 Dragons
>>336284393
I'm pretty sure about 3-4 mimics had those movement, or even more
Irithyll dungeon and the top of pontiff area comes to my mind
>>336285175
just curious is there a speed difference or such with the DaS2 running animation on all fours? i never noticed because, well, i used range on these things
>>336283427
>first chest I ever found
>the one in the dragon place in high wall
>hit it out of instict even though I know it's not a mimic
>mfw it actually was a mimic
>mfw majority of the chest I found were mimics
well fuck, might as well make friendly NPC mimics, who burst open into some monster when you try and talk t them.
Or why not a bonfire mimic? yeah, lets make a monster that blasts out of the ground when you try to light the bonfire.
Why stop there? Why not make mimic titanites, who explode into a mimic and possibly kill the blacksmith when you try to upgrade something.
>>336285175
I swear the one above Pontiff was bipedal
>there will never be mimic ladders in dark souls
>>336285818
>message mimics
>message mimic warning you about the chest mimic in front of it
>>336285818
people were treating the mimic thing as a joke but some of these mimic ideas are truly diabolical and i think they would be great.
>>336285818
Because it's a dumb idea. You like dumb ideas.
>>336285818
YEAH WHY THE FUCK NOT, LET'S MAKE A BOSS GROUND MIMIC TOO
LIKE, IT WILL SWALLOW YOU HOLE WHEN YOU TRY TO APPROACH THE BOSS
>>336285545
you are right, my bad, i still think there are more than 2 though
>>336286080
>entire dungeon is a mimic
>have to escape it before you get digested
>inside are half-digested monstrosities trying to escape like you
>>336286192
>all the treasures you find are all mimics too
>>336285818
WHERE IS MY BONFIRE MIMIC GODDAMN FROM
>>336286192
>The game itself is a mimic
>It's gonna eat you next time you play
>>336286080
not quite what you were describing but close
>>336286192
Not gonna lie that sound like an amazing level.
>>336285483
>Or why not a bonfire mimic?
Honestly surprised they haven't done that already.
>>336286270
>Mimic sword just stabs you and kills you when used.
>>336286192
>>336286281
imagine a bonfire that when you try to go to your hub centre(fire link shrines or whichever) it sends you to a mimic one instead. And you're stuck there until you find a proper bonfire to get out (kinda like when being killed by the sack guys in BB and being sent to Yar'ghul)
>>336285818
Do people seriously think mimics are a fun gameplay mechanic?
Either you look at the chain before you open it, or just attack the chest first. After it happens to you once you just go through the tediousness of checking every chest. Can you imagine having to seriously "check" everything you interact with?
>>336286803
I think some could be cool if not done too many times. It changes things up because you only expect chests to be like that
>>336286803
You wouldn't have to check if they didn't make 80% of chests mimics
Imagine having only 1 mimic in the entire game, maybe at grand archives
I'm sure as hell it would get everyone
>>336286416
>that cosplay
2cute
>>336286471
pretty sure i saw them mention the idea when the first talked about DS3, along with making your own bonfires
TFW no mimic breeding ground level with a mimic queen boss
>>336278872hello me...meet the real me?
>>336287203
>There's only one actual chest in the entire area
>It contains the Symbol of Avarice
>>336286972
>You wouldn't have to check if they didn't make 80% of chests mimics
I checked every single chest in Bloodborne for mimics
>>336285483
>the game itself is a mimic
>>336288417
>you are a mimic
>>336288505
>Bonfire mimics
>summon sign mimics
>item drop mimics
>fog wall mimics
>corpse mimic that has a jumpscare when you pickup the item
From would never do that, r-right guys? hahahaha
>>336289503
>mfw Irythyll dungeon for the first time

>>336290715
You sure are retarded
>covenant where you invade as a mimic
>all chests break if you do more then 100 dmg to them
>you can use a spell to turn a chest into a mimic
>>336291682
>Carry a dagger for mimic checking
I put a message in front of every mimic saying it's a mimic
All my messages have a ridiculously high rating
It's actually quite redundant since like 90% of chests are mimics anyway
>world connectivity is a mimic
Dark Souls 3 Mimic
You think you're playing dark souls 3 until you the game deletes all your save data.
>>336292915
>install DaS3 DLC to your library
>other game date suddenly getting deleted
>the game is actually the Lautrec/Yurt of the series
>>336286192
Jabu jabu with a time limit?
>>336293759
a time limit would probably piss off too many players, so perhaps just large pools of digestive juices, and the dungeon rumbling and shaking each time you break a "wall" or progress further to the exit.
>>336286341
Why do people rate the fake illusory wall messages?
>>336293962
Jo black gulch but not completely shit?
>>336279236
>is there any downside to just hitting the chests?
Yes, you wasted a button press and several seconds of your life when you could have just looked at the chain exactly as you would have done in DaS. From are such pandering hacks that they didn't bother to change a single thing about mimics to try to make them an unexpected threat again. They're just everywhere instead.
