What's the "scariest" mimic you've ever encountered in vidya?
discovering my steam girlfriend of two years was a trap
>>324015095
That's even better.
The mimics from Deep Down looked pretty scary, but it's vaporware.
this is the scariest mimic i never encountered
King Mimics in Dark Cloud scared me as a kid just because of the way they jump and roar at you when you open them.
Overall though, I'd probably go with OP and give it to Grimrock. They look pretty similar to the Dark Souls mimics, but they don't have the goofy body and they feel more dangerous since you can just trivialize the Dark Souls ones forever by smacking every chest before you open it.
This one
>>324015349
>>324015020
Kills you instantly if I remember correctly.
>>324015485
>>324015565
DaS mimics are deadlier than grimrock's, sure, but in grimrock, the fact that you have to peer your head into them in order to find out if it's a mimic or not is sheer terror.
>>324015349
what the fuck
>>324015485
>Scholar of the First Sin switched up where some of the mimics are placed.
Not cool, From. Not cool.
>>324015667
tru, should try grimluck sometime. but im to edgy for that style of game lately.
>>324015349
that's fucking awesome
By the way, did the DaS2 devs just not know that you could break free from the mimic in DaS by smashing the shoulder buttons? It's so dumb that it's just an instakill without giving you a chance
>>324015349
>>324015565
They just do lots of damage. If you have high phys def you can survive. You can also mash L1/R1 to reduce damage from enemy grab moves. It actually completely negates all damage from Nito's and Centipede Demon's grab attacks.
>>324015020
Check the map. Normal chests have an icon, mimics don't.Open and kill it anyway for exp
>>324015020
The one in Dark Souls.
Because Dark Souls invented the idea of Mimics.
No mimics existed before Dark Souls. And no Mimics can ever be as good as the one in Dark Souls.
Dark Souls is the end all be all of gaming. Whatever existed in Dark Souls was something that it invented. Action RPGs, for example, didn't exist before Dark Souls. Difficult games also didn't exist before Dark Souls.
so fucking annoying
>>324015020
>>324015847
They're just taking the "you will le die xD" meme to its logical conclusion. Expect to see even more of this in DS3.
>>324015095
What's scary about that? Was she ugly?
>>324015969
Such an eloquent and obvious bait is more rare than mimics in Dark Souls
>>324015667
I think the Grimrock ones are more dangerous to be honest. They're some of the tougher enemies in the game, you frequently encounter them in tight spaces where they're difficult to kite around, and unlike the Dark Souls mimics there's no real easy way to deal with them.
In Dark Souls you might die to the one in Sen's once when you don't know it's coming (assuming you're not warned by bloodstains/messages) but after that you'll probably start hitting every chest you come across, and if you do that you can kill most mimics before they get to do much.

This is your fault for falling for the online girlfriend meme.

When I was a kid, both of these tracks terrified me. The basement was a lurking, ambient fear, even though there were only dogs and maybe a licker or two. The second Birkin fight was when shit got real, that music was awe inspiring and frightening the first time around.
>>324016153
Aww fuck, read that as "music".
Welp, time for bed.

>They're some of the tougher enemies in the game
Not really, they're easy to kite and start to become trivial pretty quickly after you inevitably start encountering them
>you frequently encounter them in tight spaces where they're difficult to kite around
Well in that case you just had shitty luck, because the majority of mimics are random in each playthrough
>there's no real easy way to deal with them.
Just box them in with the forcefield spell like any other enemy if you're too inept to deal with them
Fucking mimics, they're everywhere!
>>324016614
>kite
That's like the whole gameplay of LoG and the reason why I couldn't get into it.
>>324016580
Assuming bonfire mimics are pre-lit to indicate the deception that would be cool. Especially if it was just a one-time encounter that makes you paranoid for the rest of the game.
>>324015349
But THIS is just evil.
>>324016113
Like >>324015956 has said you can know in advance if a chest is a mimic or not by checking the map. Real chests would show up as a normal chest icon, mimics won't.
That save point on in Final Fantasy. I think it was 10 or 12
WHY!
>>324016580
>>324016312
>>324015349
Do you have the one of the corpse mimic? It's by a tree.
>>324015454
Below the waist doesn't count!
>>324016882
oh yeah forgot that one
>>324015454
>>324016113
the one in sens got me because I thought it was way too obvious to actually be a mimic.
>>324015847
Really? I didn't know that either but I don't think I was ever grabbed by one in DS1
>>324016067
Is it being made by the B team again?
>>324016980
no fog door mimic? Or usable item mimic? Bites you in the face when you try taking a sip?

You have a problem with facial recognition, anon.
>>324018357
well that one doesn't look friendly but they should make it look qt and sexy to fool people
like, literally a semen demon mimic giving you this look and then eating you with its sharkteeth vagina
>>324018649
like the Lillith's in Castlevania that pose as Yoko. Not very convinscing when you have half a dozen next to each other.

But it's not over his dick
>>324016827
It was 12. I distinctly remember limping through that forest all kinds of fucked up and breathing a sigh of relief after finally finding a save crystal.
Then it killed me and I lost like an hour's progress. Fucking FF12.

The mimics in Dungeon Siege 2 will fuck you up.
>>324020412

Has there ever been a mimic that steals shit from you? Like when you open it up and reach in, it pick pockets you or something? I was thinking about it the other day and discussed it with my brother. Go ahead and use this idea for anything, a thief mimic would be cool and refreshing.
