**<fs 200%>The Mimic</fs>**

When completing an Elite or Master Treasure Trail, you'll have a 1/40 chance (Elite) or a 1/15 chance (Master) of obtaining a Mimic casket! To complete the Mimic casket, you need to teleport to (and defeat) the Mimic, using the right-click teleport option on the casket. Opening a completed Mimic casket will award two rolls on the drop table of the casket which originally spawned it. You can only have one Mimic casket on your account at any time. The Mimic Casket can be converted to a regular (tradeable) casket by using the "convert" option on the casket. 

Dying during the Mimic fight is a safe death, with a couple exceptions:
  * **Hardcore ironman status will be lost.**
  * Your Mimic casket will be converted to a regular casket.

When dying with a Mimic casket in your inventory in any unsafe way, it will be converted to a regular casket before your death, regardless of whether the regular casket would be protected due to its price. The regular casket will then be protected according to its price.

**<fs large>Fight overview</fs>**

With the right strategy, The Mimic is very easy to defeat for any high-level player. 

Always use **Protect from Melee**, move around the room when the Mimic throws sweets, and ignore the spawned Third Age minions. Use stat-boosting potions and prayers as well.

  * The quickest way to slay The Mimic is to bring dragon claws or a dragon dagger with full melee gear, then after using the two/four special attacks, switch into a full magic setup with a powered staff. With high melee stats and piety you can switch to a whip or better and kill the boss before minions even spawn. 
  * Alternatively, using magic, The Mimic can be frozen using ice spells or Entangle evading the melee attack completely. Powered staves can then be used to quickly kill The Mimic.
  * Although The Mimic is weak to Magic, players can also opt to use Ranged with a toxic blowpipe.

The Mimic has three different attacks:

  * Melee attack: The Mimic can hit you with a normal melee attack if you are standing beside it.
  * Candy Attack: The Mimic throws six candies at you. If you fail to step out of the way, you will receive about 10 damage. Three candies are purple, and there is one red, one blue and one green candy. The red, blue and green candies spawn the Third Age Warrior, Third Age Mage and Third Age Ranger respectively. There is no benefit to killing them as they drop nothing and, when killed, they instantly respawn when another candy attack occurs.
  * Stomp Attack: Sometimes, The Mimic will step one tile forward onto you. Alternatively, this attack is activated when you walk under The Mimic. For every tick (0.6 seconds) that you stand under The Mimic, you will receive damage. The damage scales as follows: 1-1-1-2-2-2-3-... and so on, capping out at 6 damage. Simply step away from The Mimic to stop and reset the damage counter.

**<fs large>Location</fs>**

The Mimic can be reached by opening a Mimic Casket. Doing so will teleport you to The Mimic's area. 

**<fs large>Drops</fs>**

The Mimic itself has no drops. Opening a completed Mimic casket will award two rolls on the drop table of the casket which originally spawned it.
