Grace Mimic | Elden Ring Wiki

Why not make this a portable sort item menu similar to the grace while in multiplayer? So i can take out serpent hunter when random host just summon me at Rykard boss room, ofc not allowed in combat, like it's currently useless for such attractive item

Submit

Another pointless item 99% of players have never used

Submit

It always point at the cliff I don't know why
Maybe my journey await me there

Submit

its fun just to pop these and follow where they point. can lead to all sorts of wacky places

Submit

This can be a great PvP item as a host too. There are a lot of graces around the game and putting one in a convincing spot can serve as a coy mechanism to fake them out too, such as leaving one down and using the sit/rest emote.

Submit

Hundreds of hours into this game and I have not once even considered using this.

Submit

Great if you invade a host exploring a new area and you can get in front of them. Place this down near a hiding spot and ambush the host with a backstab or any other high damaging skills.

Submit

I don't understand why Patches doesn't sell infinite amount of these...

Submit

The idea that it's a PvP item is ridiculous. When you're invaded, you can't sit at a site of grace. Enemy invaders can't see grace directing them to a site of grace.

What function could this possibly serve under *any* PvP scenario, even farfetched? It would accomplish literally nothing ever.

Submit

It really could have been a great group pvp item. I think they should have given it some special healing properties. Like if a summoned player interacts with it, it will recover their hp/fp or perhaps allowing the recovery of some flasks. The ladder could be used for PVE also if anyone could interact with it. That's what I think they should have done with it anyway.

Submit

It does NOT point randomly. Idk why people are saying that. It points to a nearby site of grace, though not necessarily the closest one and does not discriminate between discovered/undiscovered. It also utilizes both above ground and underground maps simultaneously, which is where I think people are getting the idea that it's random.

Submit

you can use both this and Mimic Veil to fool invaders, but i think the Veil can do a better job than a fake bonfire. meta troll invaders these days are dumber than trolls.

Submit

... I have +200 hours in this game and I always thought this was suppose to point to the nearest grace undiscovered and was simply bugged. What a weird and pointless item.

Submit

i wish these lasted longer so i could use them for meming in invasions

Submit

I wonder...do these guide you to NPCs?

Submit

they point you towards a nearby objective (I assume just radius based since it says no order)- they give off the same "guiding grace", the piss swirls that guide us at graces

Submit

I think a “Return To Grace” item would have been better. You know, like a homeward bone where you can teleport to a site of grace when you’re in a spot or situation you cannot fast travel and not lose your runes.

Also an effective farming item.

Submit

Never used this once and I'm at the end of the story lol

Submit

i think even a newbie would never use this lol

Submit

Grace mimic? More like ****ing sucks mimic.

Submit

for the longest time I thought that when you placed this it would point you in the direction of the nearest actual grace. would have made sense given the description. how disappointing.

Submit

Absolutely useless, never once have I witnessed a single person brain-dead enough to fall for this outside of very low level invading.

Submit

I don’t see how this is useful as an ambush. Why would you try to head to a grace if you’ve been invaded you can’t rest?

Submit

I don’t see how this is useful as an ambush. Why would you try to head to a grace if you’ve been invaded you can’t rest?

Submit

I don’t get how this is useful in PVP when it looks like a grace site that has already been activated. It’s pointing in one direction when I used it in my game. I see this and I’ll think “wait a minute I never touched a grace site here, it’s my first time here!”, “I know there isn’t grace here. I’ve been here before.” or “That that invader must be nearby.”

Submit

In parts of the game where... let's say you're not certain where the walkway is, you can drop these in front of you like you would rainbow stones. Keep in mind that Grace mimics differ slightly as they do NOT work as a death-fall test like rainbow stones would.

Then again I only used these because i ran out of ruin fragments...

Submit

These are such a nasty tool to have in the arsenal as an invader, I love it. Only complaint is they last for such a short time before disappearing which greatly limits their usefulness.

Submit

I hope they update this so that hosts can use it and it grabs them showing it's true body as they get chomped on

Submit

Wish it would work like the message (showed up in other players' world). Would've been great for some laughs and giggles

Submit

Gostoc gives you one. Follow the 'shortcut.' He is cowering in the corner of the first floor, under the stairs, where the first guy with the big axe was. If you talk to him, he gives you a Grace Mimic. I climbed the tower to the top before climbing the ladder and accidentally found him there, so not 100% sure at what point he shows up and what point he stops showing up, but he does disappear after he gives it to you and you go back again.

Submit

thanks for putting in the work guys. i have 48 of them and figured i'd see what they do. it pointed to a wall so i looked it up. rando direction i thought maybe it points to the exit in a cave or something. i'll try it out regardless. like the binding mark for a certain boss. it does nothing unless in the presence of the boss.

Submit

I'm not finding the commoner in stormveil I am at the place in the picture but the commoner is not there. So I guess that grace mimic isn't available to me. I guess it is a good thing those grace mimics are a joke item just like the glass shards

Submit

Place it down and it will lead you to somewhere interesting... or not. Can also be used to confuse invaders or cooperators.

Submit

they point in random directions, (possibly pointing at specific items or places) "Useful as a last resort for those who have lost their way, or for use
by those who believe that unrefined guidance will lead to truer encounters."

its for when youre bored or a little lost. its really that simple. still more useful than glass shard, if you dont know which way to go, this item will pick a random direction for you.

Submit

I used this thinking it would allow to set up a normal grace point. Boy, was I disappointed.

Submit

Great for trolling. Help someone in their world. Rush into the next room, place one down and see their dispair growing, while they try to activate the grace as next checkpoint.

The fact, that patches sells those items has a deeper meaning

Submit

It's for PVP, place one down, hide with mimic veil nearby, ambush.

Submit

Can someone tell me the point of this consumable i.e. when/why i would use it?

Submit

From testing I've done these seem to point in a completely random direction, and not a random site of grace as some people think. I was able to get multiple pointing out into random locations in the ocean/ships/clouds. I confirmed they were not pointing to underground locations either.

So either the DLC is already there and multiple landmasses exist we haven't seen yet, or they're just random.

Submit

5 in gael tunnel

Submit

There's one in Ainsel River Well depths.

Submit

Sounds like Invaders are going to have a field day with this.

Submit

Patches told me it actually shows the location of the next Site of grace when placed at night
*giggles*

Submit

I just saw a video where someone used it for a multiplayer ambush. Ijs

Submit

It's a joke item for placing on the ground so it points a light beam in a random direction for you to follow. It's entirely useless unless you're wandering around at random and can't decide which way to go next.

Submit

Useless?

Submit

so... what does it do?
