How to Hunt Underground Mimics and Collect Curio Relics
guide
Encountering Subterranean Mimics
Exploring deep underground caves frequently leads unwary spelunkers into deceptive ambushes staged by cunning predatory monsters.
- Mimics disguise themselves as standard dungeon treasure chests, bursting open with lethal snapping teeth when approached by unsuspecting adventurers.
- Creative mode testing and dungeon mapmakers can spawn these creatures directly using a specialized
Mimic Spawn Egg. - Smiting a mimic drops authentic curio baubles that cannot be crafted on mundane crafting tables.
- Equipping an
Antidote Vessel in your curio necklace slot renders the wearer completely immune to poison and decaying wither afflictions. - Collecting a glowing
Crystal Heart extends player maximum health pools, adding permanent extra heart containers. - Always strike subterranean chests with a ranged projectile first to verify whether they are dormant wooden containers or ravenous monsters.
Excavation Claws and Combat Gloves
Equipping recovered ancient hand relics significantly enhances digging speed and melee damage potency.
- Slipping on razor-sharp
Digging Claws grants massive mining haste buffs, tearing through dense stone layers without exhausting tool durability. - For pure melee dominance, outfitting your fists with wicked
Feral Claws dramatically increases weapon attack speed. - Artificers can also discover the legendary
Power Glove, which provides flat bonus attack damage across all equipped blades. - Wearing these versatile hand accessories preserves valuable inventory slots since relics operate from dedicated equipment spaces.
- Pairing digging claws with enchanted pickaxes allows miners to carve out massive subterranean strip mines in record time.
- Regularly inspecting underground dungeon spawners guarantees steady opportunities to uncover these rare mechanical relics.
Preserving Relics and Expedition Logistics
Venturing deep into the earth demands organized logistics to safely transport fragile and powerful artifacts back to surface outposts.
- Storing extra curio charms inside shulker boxes keeps your immediate curio loadout focused on survival and defensive attributes.
- Adventurers should always preserve an intact slice of
Everlasting Beef, ensuring their food bar never depletes during extended caving runs. - Roasting this magical cut over a campfire yields the succulent
Eternal Steak, which can be eaten repeatedly without disappearing. - Wearing matched defensive relics reduces lethal fall damage and dampens explosive shocks from surprise creepers.
- Systematically hunting underground mimics ensures your character remains outfitted with the finest curios across the entire world.
- Establishing secure subterranean campsites allows adventurers to sort recovered relics and recharge between hazardous dungeon raids.
