The Glitch Has Its Own Moment Online Again
Luring the Mimic in Dark Souls 3: The Crazy Glitch That Lets You Kill It Instantly is a specific sequence that tricks its A.I. Some call this exploit the Mimic Skip or the Softlock Method. Research shows community rediscoveries spike when streamers test odd enemy behaviors.
How The Trick Forces A One Hit Kill
Perform a wall level shove near a cracked wall during its approach. Then roll backward at the exact moment it attempts a grab. Studies indicate this cancels its grab startup, leaving it vulnerable to a visceral attack. Because the Mimic cannot retaliate, you delete it instantly.
Simple Execution For Patient Players
Hold back near a wall as it paces. When it leans forward, shove and immediately roll away. Repeat until the death animation triggers and loot drops. This shortcut rewards precise timing and map knowledge.
That single interaction turns a tank into free loot.
Q
Does this method break any trophies or achievements?
A
Softlocks or exploits rarely flag, but using one might ruin personal challenge runs.
Q
Will FromSoftware ever patch this shortcut?
A
Past fixes have been conservative, so the grab cancel might linger through multiple patches.
