Elden Ring Players Are Missing Dark Souls' Mimics

gamerant.com:

Elden Ring swept through the gaming sphere like a storm a few months ago, and players played it to death. Multiple completions and victories with weird controllers are already recorded, as is one player's moment of hitting max level.

Despite the crushing difficulty of many of its fights, Elden Ring is arguably the most welcoming of the SoulsBorne games so far, thanks to its open world and the many approaches players can take. There are also many parts of the game that mix oddly funny moments with difficulty, but one of the more classic funny/difficult elements is now missed by veteran SoulsBorne players.

Players find themselves missing the Mimics from the Dark Souls series in Elden Ring and wishing they would make a return. The Mimics of Dark Souls are an interesting spin on the classic monster most often found in Dungeons & Dragons. Not just the regular treasure chest with teeth, these chests are also tall and gangly, standing even taller than the surprisingly large Black Knife Assassins. The Dark Souls Mimics are one of the most terrifying foes in the game, and now, one of the most fondly remembered.

There are a lot of reasons behind this. The Mimics combine a few of the most nasty surprises for players in the whole Dark Souls series, turning what should be a reward into instant death. Once players figure out how to spot a Mimic, they learn that even if it doesn't get its surprise attack it's still a difficult fight. Once all of that is under a player's belt, they learn some fun things about Mimics, like how they can be put to sleep for easy treasure. Even after hitting max playtime in Elden Ring, many players have not come across such a multifaceted enemy.
