'''The Mimic''' is a sporadic [[boss]] who can be fought by presenting a [[mimic|mimic casket]] to the [[strange casket]] found upstairs in [[Watson's house]]. Mimics can be obtained from an [[Reward casket (elite)|elite]] or [[Reward casket (master)|master reward casket]] '''after''' asking the strange casket to enable the chance to obtain a mimic casket (which is disabled by default). The elite reward casket has a 1/35 chance of being a mimic, while master reward caskets have a 1/15 chance.{{CiteTwitter|author=Mod Wolf|url=https://twitter.com/JagexWolf/status/1116299462870274048|date=11 April 2019|archiveurl=https://archive.is/ogJGw|archivedate=28 May 2020|quote=We will be changing the rate of The Mimic chance after a discussion with the team and your feedback that it may be a tad too rare.

[[File:The Mimic fight area.png|thumb|left|250px|The area in which the player fights The Mimic.]]
Players have six chances to kill The Mimic from a master clue, five from an elite clue, which corresponds to the item rolls from the obtained casket. Every time a player leaves or dies, the amount of rolls on the drop table is decreased by one. If a player fails every attempt, they will not receive any loot from the original clue scroll. If the player dies at the same time as the mimic, the number of rolls is ''not'' decreased, but you will still need to retrieve your items from Watson's house.

==Fight overview==
This will give the player a chance of fighting the Mimic boss, which has a 1/100 chance of dropping a 3rd Age Equipment item.
{{main|The Mimic/Strategies}}
With the right strategy, The Mimic is very easy to defeat for any high-level player. However, at combat stats around 70, The Mimic can pose a real challenge.
Always use [[Protect from Melee]], move around the room when the Mimic throws sweets, and ignore the spawned Third Age minions. Use stat-boosting potions and prayers as well.
If the player receive the Mimic Casket, start preparing for the fight.
* The quickest way to slay The Mimic is to bring [[dragon claws]] or a [[dragon dagger]] with full [[strength bonus|melee gear]], then after using the two/four special attacks, switch into a full magic setup with a [[powered staff]]. With high melee stats and [[Piety]], you can switch to a [[abyssal whip|whip]] or better and kill the boss before minions even spawn.
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.
* Alternatively, using magic, The Mimic can be frozen using [[ice spells]] or [[Entangle]] evading the melee attack completely. [[Powered staves]] can then be used to quickly kill The Mimic.
* Although The Mimic is weak to [[Magic]], players can also opt to use [[Ranged]] with a [[toxic blowpipe]].
[[File:Fighting The Mimic.png|thumb|left|260px|A player faces The Mimic.]]
The Mimic has three different attacks:
* '''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 you. If you fail to step out of the way, you will receive about 10 damage. Three candies are purple, and there is one red, one blue, and one green candy. The red, blue, and green candies spawn the [[Third Age Warrior]], [[Third Age Mage]], and [[Third Age Ranger]] respectively. There is no benefit to killing them as they drop nothing and, when killed, they instantly respawn when another candy attack occurs.
* '''Stomp Attack:''' Sometimes, The Mimic will step one tile forward onto you. Alternatively, this attack is activated when you walk under The Mimic. For every tick (0.6 seconds) that you stand under The Mimic, you will receive damage. The damage scales as follows: 1-1-1-2-2-2-3-... and so on, capping out at 6 damage. Simply step away from The Mimic to stop and reset the damage counter.
