Hitting it makes it aggro, just be careful and don't smash it to pieces like I did numerous times by mistake

He's talking about chests with traps, not mimic chests. He probably hasn't found a mimic yet.

Was the same in DS. After the first mimic, which made me jump like hell the first time I ever encountered it, I just hit every check I came across.

Still need to buy this. But imagine I will do the same here

My first mimic made my character jump like hell, let alone me...

These designers know exactly how to put mimics in their games. There are no mimics throughout the first half of the game which makes you think there are none, then bam. It's the same in DkS, except the first one is in Sen's Fortress which is the most traumatic place, hence the only really cheap death being there just makes it even worse.

By the way, this is how I detect mimics:

(click to show/hide)

The camera can move behind mimics (they become transparent) but not behind real chests.

My first character and the one I spent a majority of my time playing the game with save file's corrupted.

SL 212 and about 85% of the way through NG+

That made me make a copy of my save file

[SixThumbs]

I'm glad someone got something good out of it. 

[IR_Kuoin]

I know how you feel. I lost 5 PvP characters and 1 PvE character when I reformatted my PC. Forgot to save the gamefile ...

[SixThumbs]

I guess this gives me an excuse to do a better run through with that same build and set-up, although at the SM I was at I missed maybe 5 levels so it's not like it mattered.

Do you have an idea what caused it?

I have, oh how I have.. T'was a sad day, but thankfully i already found the hidden bonfire at earthen peak! 

In other news, Now that I have the full game im super excited to see how this PvP will work out.
Also, i'm on a serious rekkin' roll atm. Played 2-3 hrs this afternoon, got to kill TLG, TP, Dragonknight and Old Dragonslayer. Died three times, racked up 14 Human Effigys. SL 48, all boss souls in my item box.

Tl;dr: im getting the hang of this game  only died three times once @ TP and once @ Old dragonslayer. And fell from a ledge at 40% hp, so lame.

Just got to rek Tenne once I can PvP

Btw, are you playing with keyboard and mouse? If you are, you really should be using a script.

I am, what script do you mean?

Btw, the chamber that the hollows open holds the ring that reduces hollowed HP debuff.

An autohotkey script that rebinds ingame keyboard attacks to mouse and all that jazz, default mouse buttons have a pretty big delay from when you press to attack to when you actually attack. You can test it out yourself ingame, press the mouse button to attack and then try out the keyboard to attack.

Don't alt+f4 out until you go back to the menu screen?

Even after all this time spent playing the cadence of AI attacks and just the AI in general still confuse the crap out of me. That "1, 2 and... and... and... 3" attack still gets me from time to time.

I just died because a red phantom did a leaping attack and even though I rolled past him and he was airborne he tracked me 180^o and then two of the enemies I watched turn around and leave to go back to their spawn point came running back and finished the job.
