A hilarious video shows one Elden Ring player’s attempt to use Mimic's Veil go horribly wrong. Elden Ring is a difficult game, but fans can use a wide variety of tools to make the gameplay experience easier.
Mimic's Veil is one such tool available in Elden Ring, and it’s primarily used in the PvP component of the game. As the name suggests, it lets gamers mimic nearby objects in Elden Ring, allowing them to trick opponents in PvP. Now, one Elden Ring fan attempted to use Mimic's Veil to get through a tough section, only for things to end in disaster.
A Reddit user named oldeluke has shared a funny clip from Elden Ring with this incident, and it involves the player attempting to cross a bridge in Caelid. As seen in the video, oldeluke is mimicking a barrel, presumably in the hopes of avoiding enemy attention as they make their way to Redmane Castle in Elden Ring. The player’s attempt doesn’t go as planned, as they are hit with a flaming projectile that explodes on contact. As oldeluke gets up and appears to analyze the situation, they are hit with another fireball right as the video cuts off.
Many users comment on the hilarity on display, while some player state that the video got cut at the perfect moment. In one of the comments, oldeluke mentions that they were 80% sure this strategy would allow them to safely cross the bridge in Elden Ring. It looks like the player manages to survive this encounter, but they will have to figure out a new tactic for reaching Redmane Castle.
Some users ask oldeluke about the pieces of armor they have equipped in this video, with the player confirming that they are using Ronin's Armor in Elden Ring. One gamer also shares some useful advice, stating that while Mimic's Veil reduces aggro, fans may need to apply a stealth buff to reduce it even further. For this purpose, they recommend using the Assassin's Gambit Ash of War or Unseen Form sorcery in Elden Ring.
Players wanting to try out this method should note that they can obtain Mimic's Veil from a chest inside Stormveil Castle in Elden Ring. Even though Elden Ring is an open-world game, it features several maze-like levels similar to the Dark Souls series. These levels are called legacy dungeons, with Stormveil Castle being one of the first legacy dungeons users will find in Elden Ring.
Elden Ring is available for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
