The Mimic
To go back to main article about Clue Scroll Guide, Treasure Trails/Guide
The Mimic is a sporadic boss who can be fought by presenting a mimic casket to the strange casket found besides Uri at ::clues. Mimics can be obtained when you finish an elite or master clue scroll.

Finishing an elite or master clue can give you a Mimic Casket. Having a Mimic scroll in your inventory when you finish one of these clues guarantees a Mimic Casket (the scroll is used up).
This will give the player a chance of fighting the Mimic boss, which has about a 1 in 48 chance of dropping a 3rd Age Equipment item (each of the 21 items is 1/1000).
If the player receive the Mimic Casket, start preparing for the fight.
When the player are prepared for the Mimic Boss fight, the player will be able to enter the boss room by searching the Strange Casket at ::clue.
Location
Fight overview
Once the player have entered the Mimic boss room, make sure you have Protect From Melee prayer on, since Mimics basic attack is melee attacks.
The Mimic will spawn 3 Warriors in 3rd Age gear, Range, Magic and Melee.
Don't waste time killing the warriors, continue focusing on the Mimic.
The Mimic have two different attacks, the player will need to pay attention to:
- Melee attack: The Mimic can hit you with a normal melee attack if you are standing beside it.
- Candy attack: The Mimic throws six candies at the player. If the player fails to avoid these, by stepping away, the player will receive about 10 damage.
Setups
These setups come from what players wear when they kill The Mimic. Each tab shows the gear most players use at that price, what it costs, and how long a kill usually takes with it. Prices are in PK points (PKP) at today's in-game prices, and spawnable items are free to spawn. Few players fight it, so the lower tabs are based on small groups of players.
