The Mimic Problem ***Spoiler warning***

Remove all ads!

After you get the ring from the sleeping man, and exit the first part of the nine hells, you eventually end up in a few levels where some annoying chest called Mimic takes some of your stuff and then skips away and leaves you to solve the puzzle to get them back. In the second room part here, there's something with gem throwers, and a fire conductor in the middle. There's also a gate, but it's non-functional at the time being.

I'm completely stuck here, and lost all clues as to what to do to get out of there. I Would really appreciate any suggestions or solutions to help me along with this once again excellent expansion...

 

This is a fun one.

I'll give you a hint into the right direction, try figuring it out yourself.

You want to kill the mimic, so lead it into a trap. There is one spot in the level which is quite obviously a good spot for a trap, so you have to get the Mimic to that spot.
So, lure it with the one thing it is most after.

If you think I am not making sense, read the descriptions of the mimic and other items on that level.

And leave the Launchers alone, you can't do anything with them. In fact, they do something for you, on their own.

If you still can't figure it out, well, then ask again

 

Thanx for the rply.

I tried luring the mimic into the death zone in the middle with a lot of the gem piles allready, though the only thing attracted by them seems to be the scavenger rats. I think you're referring to this, cause it seems an obvious solution to the problem, but somehow the mimic won't show up there to allow me to devastate it by a nice firefull explosion.

Any further help would, once again, really be appreciated...

 

Yes, that was the first thought I had, too. However, the mimic can't see or smell the gems, no matter how many you put in the middle.

If there would be a trace of gems for it to follow...
