Perfectly ordinary medallion.

Do people really not learn how to distinguish between the two after their first or second encounter? The rooms where there are both mimics and real chests are the easiest place to learn the difference

>>384601450

And the chain faces a different way.

And there's always messages warning you

w-w-wait, what's the deal with these? I never use them

am I carrying a monster around

>>384601615
If you just watch them you can see the mimics breathe, alternatively just hit every single chest before opening

>>384601902
Yeah

>>384601621
Theres a message warning for every chest

>>384601902
It's a true monster.

>>384601902
If you throw them at mimics while they're still hidden, they'll fall asleep and open up so you can grab the loot without fighting them.

>>384601997

Usually one maybe two but always loads for mimics. You can just tell

None of the metal chests are mimics
Except for that one in bowsers castle

Pretty sure the one next to Aldia's keep was a metal chest mimic.

>unequipping Mimic Hat ever

Two fucking sequels and they do absolutely nothing to surprise us.

No new traps, no new dungeon mechanics, no new mimics, no new deception, absolutely nothing to fuck with the people who have played the games before.

I didn't buy 3; I was a fucking hack and bought 2. It is a mark of shame to be a fan of this franchise after all this bullshit and its DLC.

>>384602921
How does one engage sexually with this mimic without any injury?

>Try for pooper or vagoo get torso chomped
>Try for mouth get dick chomped
>Try for handy get dick sliced

Seems lose lose all around

>>384604020
>I didn't buy 3
Oh cool so you're making baseless accusations

I'm actually enjoying DS3 even more than I did DS, and I adored DS. Granted, I'm only 20 hours into it, but it feels infinitely more cohesive and real as an environment.

>>384604020
Bloodborne though

>>384603013
if you make a mimic fall asleep it counts as killing him so you can get mimic hat in sen's

>>384604283
DeS and DaS1 will always be better for me because of the weight behind movement and combat

>>384604283
No, I did some fucking research to see if they did anything new. And they didn't.

Same infinite piles of useless treasure that aren't exciting. They brought back nothing that was good from DS2. Useless references to DS1 that make no fucking sense.

DS3 might be overall "better" than DS1 objectively out of sheer content and appearance, but as a sequel it is a pile of shit with zero innovation.

>>384604649

What the everloving fuck did he mean by this?

>>384604856
>go on rooftop in DaS3
>oh nice those puny hollows are worshipping a tree
>suddenly one of them gets up and transforms into a nightmarish creature of buttfuckery

nothing new he said

>>384604649
Absolutely, I also missed how deliberate and less of a crapshoot DaS1's combat was. Honestly they could have fixed most of DS3's combat issues by being less forgiving with inventory load's effect on rolling.

In many areas other than that though, I think 3 improved upon what 1 was trying to do. The lore and character interactions in particular felt far more polished, even though they refused to drop the laughter at the end of every fucking character's lines

>>384604856
You don't know what you're talking about and it's upsetting that you think you get to have any say at all in this conversation

>>384604229
If you wanted to fug a mimic it would involve a long list of criteria. Is it an intelligent mimic, or is it just using that as a snare? Is it intelligent enough to be considered human-level or greater? Can it speak? What language? Do you know the language? Can you learn it? Is it a shapeshifting mimic or not? How charismatic are you? How rich are you?

>Having to warp back to the central hub every time you want to do anything and then just warping back to continue from any bonfire ruins any cohesive and real feeling pretty fast, and the lack of proper interconnection places it firmly below DaS1 in terms of how cohesive it is
>NPCs that can warp to the hub at will (Have to be able to do this because of the disconnected hub, whereas the other games could rely on the notion of wandering there) are supposed to be able to get lost or separated

>Patches betrays you 2 times in the main game just like in DaS1 but in DaS1 the threat is a real one, whereas in DaS3 Patches first betrays you by lowering a bridge that can only be lowered with a lever that is on the opposite side of the bridge from where he is standing and then betrays you by locking a door behind you when he didn't physically exist in the level prior to that point

>>384605642
Is there are invisible chest there or something?

>>384605672
It's annoying how the only way to trigger combat with them is to open the chest.

You find your first polearm and it's crap, you find your first heavy weapon and it's crap, you find your first spell and it's crap.

What, you think running through a swampy mess. They have a skeleton boulder that is even less stressful than the boulders in Sens. If you dare to explore a different path it will sequence break a huge amount of questlines. They transpose Anor Londo castle in the middle of a frozen city for no fucking good reason and populate it with the same silver knights for no reason. They recycle the necromancer mechanic in Dragon's Peak,

There is absolutely no stress as you run through each area. Oh yeah, leeches and frost, who gives a fuck. If you played the original the game and learned anything from it DS3 looks to be a joke. At no point do you need to learn anything new besides become familiar with new enemy movements. If you are smart enough to walk smartly, you're good. The first thing that actually moves in a unique manner are those ninja-skeletons that move like they have the Guardian Dagger.

And to top it all off, they don't conclude the story in any meaningful way. It's all just a cycle. Fantastic; we knew that from game 1. Oh, and there's a pile of serpent symbolism that isn't explained.

I don't regret for a second that I didn't reward their hackjob with DS3 with money. The only two games worth playing are DS1 and Bloodborne because god help them they tried whereas they phoned it in with the others.

>>384605642
I hate this meme so much and I hate you for posting it.
>haha there's an invisible snake on the picture, so spooky!
No there fucking isn't. I'm reporting the next person that pretends there's anything but a brick wall because it's been happening for years and I'm sick of it.

>>384605963
I'll grant you that having to warp to level up in DS3 and Bloodborne was a stupid decision but the whole "interconnectivity" thing was actually a good thing to drop. Even in the first Dark Souls, they had to drop it at a certain extent because the scale of the world the player had access to became to insanely large to keep as a warpless, single-map zone. Not only that, but it means that the level designers needed to consistently compromise their layout and enemy placement to accommodate for the player running through in the opposite direction. They could either make those compromises or ignore it and leave an area that's great in one direction but garbage in the other (undead burg)

>DaS3 can't even get its hollowing lore right
Did they get memed by DaS2 temporarily dropping that item and referring to the protagonist as the "Bearer of the Curse" and splitting up Curse and Petrify?
Why do Basilisks still slowly build a bar clearly labeled "Curse" (Ignoring for a second the loss of the curse status) when this stone does nothing to counter it despite clearly indicating that it removes and reduces the buildup of curse?
>>384606637
Even if it had to introduce bonfire warping later it didn't let you warp to absolutely every bonfire. Do you actually ever go through Undead Burg in reverse normally? I'm trying to think of a reason you would other than getting in from Havel's tower because of all the interconnected shortcuts that prevent you from having to do that normally.
