Mimic Tear Ashes | Elden Ring Wiki

You may complain that it is op, but it is nowhere near as op as summoning Let Me Solo Her and having him beat Malenia for you.

Submit

Why are people so pressed lmao like I think a game should be enjoyable as well and Elden Ring is already difficult as it is... Literally nobody cares if you can beat it without summons etc. Touch some grass

EZ mode for Elden Ring = Mimic + Blasphemous Blade

Submit

Easily the ugliest summon. I don't know what they were thinking when they designed this.

Submit

I like the idea of ​​spirit ashes, but my problem with it is that it's way too overpowered. They can literally solo entire Bosses. I would use them if they were like Summons in Dark Souls 3 and just supports you and doesn't go full ofense into battle.

Submit

I decided to start a run but I’m like a pokemon trainer and the only way to fight is to summon mimic and let it fight while I sit back and cheer it on I allowed myself to fight two bosses without Mimic which were Radahn and Mimic

Sometimes the side-chick ain't even a chick, it's [Literally me]

My mimic tear is better at the game than I am

Submit

does that stamina multiplier mean they last 1.488 times longer in bed than me?

Submit

*puts on spiked caestus* yea, das my boy

Submit

It's pretty funny to strip naked, unequip weapons/talismans and summon the tear and watch it throw hands at bosses. It's kinda like a mini-game, the goal is to keep the mimic tear alive for the duration of the fight

Submit

They need to make it so if u use this u can't earn achievements so sick of people acting like they are good when from hands them a participation trophy

Submit

There are two ways to make Elden Ring easy: over-leveling and this Spirit Ash. It's literally just your already overpowered character, and then ONE MORE of them.

Submit

It's called tear bc it will tear your enemies a new one

Submit

I summon Mimic Bro to learn his moves.

Submit

Using this should enable invasions in boss arenas cause we need a way to invade past fog walls

don't get the hype about these spirit ash at all. Literally so bad. The damage it does is absoluetly pathetic and it dies in like 2 hits WTF

You think we losing? Nah, we losing. With this sacred treasure I summon. Mimic Tear, The Forged Lord.

The Tarnished: You're just a cheap ****ing knockoff!

Mimic Tear: No, I'm the upgrade

The Elden throne should be a double seat

2 years later, still the goat.

Submit

copium for ppl thinking that 3.3 hp multiplier and 50 damage reduction is not op, not even taking into account that it deals damage and it probably does it better than you

Submit

Sometimes I spawn bro just to see what a real one looks like

Submit

If you use this you are either using this since its OP or using this because sometimes funny s**t can happen when you use this thing

Submit

"an attempt by the Eternal City to forge a lord" not gonna lie, they suceeded

Submit

This thing is really an easy mode, I got it to +10 doing Ranni’s quest and it’s really making every boss a cakewalk on first try. Amazing for those who don’t really wanna get into difficulty but still experience the game, but I just wanna feel that sweet taste of victory, instead of killing Godfrey and Morgott in 1 minute each on first try and just forgetting about them.

Basically, use it on your own risk, as it ruins whole balancing for most bosses out here.

Submit

Tiche is better and cuter

I had the Wraith Calling Bell on my item bar, and it spent a whole lot of time ineffectually trying to use that rather than using my good attacks.

Before i fought this boss i saw a message along the lines of "Weak foe ahead, pathetic sort really"

Submit

So, I decided to do a quick test as to whether armor actually works or not. The "flat 50 damage negation regardless of armor" part threw me off a bit. So I used the Godrick Soldier just next to the Gatefront Ruins Site of Grace, the one with the shield and spear. I did one test without armor and one with the Tree Sentinel armor set. My mimic tear without armor took around 30-34 damage per hit and with the armor took around 20-23 damage per hit.

So armor does matter. And I'm going to guess that it gets the same poise as you do.

Submit

I want to control him with a second gamepad,sometimes his AI just goes too monke and he'll die in no time

Submit

This thing is not as OP as most people think. Yes it's awesome to make a copy of yourself to fight along with you. But the thing is that the Mimic is only as good as you are.
So yes if your build is good then the Mimic will be of great help. But if your build sucks then then the Mimic will be pretty much worthless cannon fodder.
In other words if you are good at the game then yes this thing will seem OP but if you suck then it will be useless.

Come to think of it maybe thats the whole point - create a summon that seems like cheating and then laugh at the scrubs who thought it's an instant win cheat code.

Submit

Scrubskin duo. One and a half man. The guy she told you not to worry about. Literally me. There was a sign "lord ahead" before the fog wall with stonesword imps, didn't get it first. Love the game.

Submit

You did not beat the game.

Submit

Step 1: Acquire this Ash
Step 2: Acquire and equip Serpent-Hunter
Step 3: Equip second Great Spear (bug makes both spears generate light beams when wielded together)
Step 4: Summon this Ash
Step 5: Stunlock Rykard to death in under 60 seconds

Submit

I like to just sit back and watch my Mimic solo bosses for me. Surprised it wasn't nerfed more since release.

Submit

I use the spirit ash with comet Azur and lusats crown equipped and then I equip Shabiri woe after I summon so I can double comet Azur the thing to death

Submit

The best spirit ash, as broken as you make it. Consider unequipping spells depending on the fight so he/she uses only what you want to counter the boss.

Submit

Ultimately, the fact that the tear can be basically anything will always put it at the top.

Submit

Does anyone know where the stats are for Mimic tear? It'd be great to know whether it's poise in PvE is dependent on armor or if it has a flat value? Same with stamina recovery.

Submit

The true Elden Ring protagonist. You're the low-health copy, he's the elden lord original. Only summon him if you wanna feel like a spirit ash

Submit

Add a Godskin Swaddling cloth to this cheese soup to make it truly invincible (takers cameo and other "health on death" sources don't work sadly)

Submit

Fully upgraded Mimic Tear still has no defense ability. Ridiculous.

Submit

Mimic tear is literally easy mode lol, just dont count on him for doing specific things

Submit

Summoned it in the Rykard fight with Serpent Hunter while at level 20........... Bruh

BELIEVE IN YOUR MIMIC THAT BELIEVES IN YOU!

Submit

My mimic secretly hates me and wants me dead !!
I see it standing off to the side watching as I get pummeled, a little smirk on its face.
I'm going to find a toilet, use my mimic veil next to it, summon you, and see how you like being pooped on!

Submit

If you really want to make this thing OP, equip a few Uplifting Aromatics. (Normally costs Arteria Leaf, which is limited)

Mimic Tear spawns in and uses it, essentially giving you a free damage boost, and 90% dmg reduction for a single hit.

Since they don't consume anything, you get free Uplifting Aromatics for a solo play.

Submit

People crack me up when they act like this Mimic is so great. Half the time the moron does nothing, you have to make sure he has only the weapon you want him to use because if he does anything at all he's likely to pick the wrong thing. If he actually helped you you were lucky, it's all RNG. The last resort of lazy game developers since dice was invented.

Submit

Lionel's armor, Godslayer/Erdtree seal with 60+ faith, Black Blade and Burn O Flame incantations. He literally soloes Malenia with this setup, though it depends on RNG and you still should buff/heal him with supporting incantations. Absolute gigachad. That's how I beat Malenia on my summons only run

Submit

Was having trouble with Godskin duo on L80 dex build, swapped my Page for +10 mimic - he sleep-potted them, poisoned them, and did twice my damage. Beat em first try but mimic was the true hero.

Submit

Btw if you use "cursed blood pot" and throw it on top of your mimic it will temporary turn back to pre nerf mimic that constantly cast all type of diff spell and attack boss super aggressive + use consumable at will. It last about 1min and you can carry 10 pot.

Submit

+10 Mimic tear have 6k hp and will heal 200hp with each heal from godskin swadding talisman.

Best spirit summon in the game

If you put Great Stars with Prayerful strike on a mimic tear +10 it will heal 31% of its healthbar per AoW. Let us say your healthbar is at 2000. 2000 multiplied by 3.3 is 6600. This means the mimic tear will heal 66 health per normal hit and 2046 per AoW. It will heal more health than your entire health bar every time the AoW hits an enemy.

Submit

Give mimic dual dagger with scarlet and poison, then switch to your bleues and frostbite... and spank them bosses :P

Submit

Why the heck should I feel bad about using an in-game mechanic?

Submit

Can the mimic use soap?

Submit

I find Mimic suits using a poison infused weapon; the damage output is already low, and the added poison ticks are actually pretty impactful on the total damage output Mimic provides. Have the Kindred Exultation equipped and you'll even get an AR boost for said poison procs; Venomous Fang's with poison infusion work well here, otherwise give it a poison Antspur Rapier, and get double DOT............... Black Flame incantations, Black Flame Tornado, and Corpse Wax Cutter are all viable on the Mimic, due to their % based damage.............. Don't forget to keep 1 Rot Pot, Swarm Pot, Sleeping Pot, Poison Spraymist, Uplifting Aromatic, and other useful status pots/perfumes on your equip bar for it to spam. If you have the Pulley Crossbow, equip two types of status bolts, and Mimic will quickly proc said status on foes from afar; Burred Bolts and Black Key Bolts are good. If facing a boss with a weakness, like Deathbirds or Erdtree Avatars, equip it with Holy Water Pots, Volcano Pots, etc, to target the weakness. If you have the stats, even Urgent Heal and a seal on Mimic can come in useful for it. The Blessed Dew Talisman and the Icon Shield give a useful 5HP per second regeneration, which along with Great Stars w/Stormcaller can make Mimic very bulky to take down. Don't forget Mimic can use infinite Raw Meat Dumplings (sans poison), as well as Warming Stones to heal you both; just be warned it may drop it in a group of enemies, so be warned.

Submit

summon this once in a while just to hear what a real one has to say

Submit

So, is this article saying that it doesn't matter what armor I wear when summoning, it'll have that flat 50 damage negation? Like if I summoned it with Bull Goat's Armor set versus no armor set whatsoever, would it have the same amount of damage negation either way? Does that apply across all damage types, physical and elemental? What about poise? Does it have a static amount of poise, regardless of whether I summon it where the BGA set or not?

Submit

One VERY IMPORTANT CLUE to whom uses mainly the Mimic Tear Ashes is about CONSUMABLES!!!
Is very important you have ALWAYS 10 warming stones on your fast access consumables slots as THOSE using the Mimic Tear Summon frequently!
THIS ASHES uses frequently many of his mimetic warming stone randomly on the bosses fights .
Usually the Mimic Tear throws it and even try to get near it, but sometimes that aleatory abandoned warming stones save me countless times int he bosses fights on the game!!!
And MY WARMING STONES are saved from been used...

Submit

Even if you use this, dont think badly of yourself, this is singleplayer and wont effect anyone else's gameplay, so use it :)

Submit

Don’t know why people hate on mimic tear so much, yeah it’s a really powerful summon that take on pretty much any boss with ease, but it’s unusable in MP outside of caelid collosseum. It’s not like someone using mimic tear is going to ruin someone else’s Elden ring experience

Submit

I don’t understand. Everyone keeps saying the mimic tear is over powered, but every time i summon it, it just sits there complaining about Justin Trudeau. I’m not even Canadian

Submit

Equip your mimic with Erdtree heal and it will spam it when under 50% health until full, Malenia and Elden Beast be damned (Even on NG+7).

Submit

This blob of jelly is the true Elden Lord.

Submit

Gave mimic tear a staff(right hand) and a shield and two memorized spells ->mimic tear uses staff as melee weapon and hits boss on the head with it for like 3 damage instead of casting the spells. Brilliant AI, Fromsoft! Just brilliant!

Submit

You but if you got gud and had 10x HP

Submit

So is there any way to make this crappy thing do ANYTHING in a boss fight?? It fights like literal dog sh*t, always misses with his skill bc it stands way too far away from the boss to hit it with the skill(Prayerful Strike), gets knocked down with every hit by every boss in the game, even the weakest. Just terrible, a rock has better AI than this utter disappointment of a summon. Welp, back to Dung Eater I guess.

Submit

behold, strong foe!, praise the Tarnished! By My Sword

For Shield Int Mages and other non-Meta Int Mage builds, powerstance staves of choice, pick your spell rotations carefully, and pick your talismans carefully before Summoning the Mimic Tear as they are very, very, very bad at using non-Meta playstyles in general.

How interesting it is to see into the minds of FromSoft's developers and learn how they wanted us to play their game and have fun and win fantastically! /anger

What song would be perfect to use when using the mimic? Why not some good old cod black ops 2 perk song known as who is who.

"I was talkin' to myself just the other day,
I was hearin' lots of things
I never thought I'd say,
But one thing I said really blew my mind...
(Who's who?) I said I don't know me,
But I know you, and if you listen closely
We can talk it through, it ain't as simple
As we're gonna find... (Who's who?) *pause)

I think I will save you, I think I don't blame you,
'Cause I like you and you like me...
I was talkin' to myself just the other day,
Then the bad man came and took me away,
I feel bad, but not as bad as me...
(Get off me, man!) I was talkin' to myself just the other day,
(You've got the wrong man!) before the bad man came
And took me away, (I'm not that man!)
I feel bad, but not as bad as me(Not who I am!) *pause*
Dun dun DUN DUN!!
(Who's Who?)"

This thing is lame. C.H.E.E.S.E.
Wish it wasn't in the game.

This may have already been said, on the 1.00 version, there is a bug in which the summon will have a 1/4 full health bar.

If you summon this thing while you have the Golden Scarab equipped, does it increase rune gain by a further 20%? Common sense says no, but you never know with these games.

Since I was having difficulty finding information regarding it's hp in relation to your hp and seeing a lot of misinformation or just complete lack of proof one way or the other, I did some testing and at 21 vitality, completely naked (theminimum required to summon it), it had about 2100hp. At 99 vitality, it had about 7000hp. Talismans that boost hp also affect as with a 9.5% hp boost he had about 7600-7700hp. It is 100% based on HP and not vigor level as at 60 vigor it had about 6000hp and at 40 vigor it had about 4500. You'd expect to see a much bigger drop off than 1000hp at 60 if it was vigor based.

(not sure why my other comment showing this vital information that is lacking in all the other comments, videos, subreddit, etc. got removed but I have updated it with a bit of extra information and here's the repost)

This becomes the only usable summon in ng+7 due to its tankiness and ability to dodge well even with low armor. It makes a lot of things a lot easier. You can actually cheese Malenia with this ash by using mohg spear. It spams the AoW and if you do too, Malenia takes tens of thousands of damage and gets effectively stunlocked.

Submit

So many options regarding spirit summons, ranging from regular trash mobs to unique mini-bosses and the best one is just a copy of you.

Submit

I see a lot of people asking whether higher level means anything for mimic tear, given how it copies your guy anyway.

It does. I found myself in Ainsel River Main, where you face a Malformed Star. My mimic was level 5. I tried letting it fight the MS. Mimic got torn to shred 5 times.

Now, behind the MS, there's 2x Ghost Gloveworth(6) and 1x GG(7). The game wants you to fight the MS to get them, but you can run like hell and grab them, then run away, go to roundtable and upgrade your Ashes. I upgraded Mimic Tear to level 7.

The difference between level 5 and 7 is massive. Mimic almost killed the MS by itself. Same setup. I only had to sling rock once to finish it. I'm not sure of what exactly changes when MT levels up, but something does. My guess is HP and damage scale linear to level, but I'm not sure. If so, that would explain why Mimic is so strong at higher level, even with a bad build.

Now, for those who say Mimic doesn't work for them: try giving it fewer options. Memorize fewer spells. Because he uses his options at random. For example, I keep Loretta's Greatbow memorized for those few times I want a long-range shot. Well, Mimic keeps using it at random even in close combat.

Also, Mimic has infinite FP. So if you keep glinstone pebble and Great Glintstone Shard memorized (pebble for efficiency, GGS for expediency), there's no reason for Mimic to use pebble, but still will use it.

If you want mimic to do something specific, you need to take away the other options. If you want it to bleed some boss, summon him with a bleed weapon in your hand (you can switch the second after he's summoned), and make sure you don't have a bunch of consumables available. Like, only have kukris.

Submit

In short, casters and other squishy builds should look for something else, whereas a tanky melee build with a weapon like blasphemous blade which heals you on a % basis will find good use out of it.

Submit

So, you don't even need a healing spell for mimic tear to beat Malenia. Just give it Black Flame ritual, 99 faith/end. and some meat dumplings. It will absolutely spam the meat dumplings beyond the three item limit. It's absolutely hilarious.

Submit

I have a pair of Spiked Caestus (now Star Fists) with Lifesteal Fist that I wear 2H when I summon it. If the enemies are humanoid, it'll use that to heal 30% of it's health each time it grabs somebody. Best way I can think of healing it if you're not a caster. Not sure how high faith healing incantations or consumables work to heal it. Lifesteal Fist and the Spiked Caestus are both conveniently located fairly close to each other in Caelid (10 minutes at most to get both).
