Every Mime Location¶

As mentioned above, Mimes are challenging encounters that can usually be found in most major areas of the game. This isn’t the only place, however, as you can also find them on the World Map and there is even an ultimate Mime hiding out there. If you’re looking for assistance on how to defeat these tricky customers, hit the link above or scroll beyond the table below.

Defeating Mimes¶

For the most part, every battle against a Mime is the same, except for the fact they may sometimes have regular enemies with them. That means when you know how to beat one, you can beat all of the others, just bear in mind depending on where you face them, you may take massive damage from their strikes (the final one in Sunless Cliffs for example can hit for around 9,000+ HP per hit).

(1 of 3) You’ll need to Break Mimes first before you can start dealing any real damage against them.

Before you do anything else, the first thing you should do against a Mime is look to break them. Their wall they put up on their first turn is incredibly sturdy and until you break it, you’re not going to deal much damage. How much that is varies on the encounter, with the later Mimes having very high Break HP. Once you reach Act 3, there is an incredibly cheap way of doing this very easily by defeating the Thunder Évêque on the world map and getting the Breaking Death Pictos. Couple this with a sacrificial lamb by equipping the Auto Death Pictos and at the start of battle, that character will die and fill the Break gauge.

In terms of the attacks, the Mimes have two combos it will use against you. The first, hand-to-hand combo, will see it perform a leaping slap, followed by a second and then a headbutt which has a slight wind up. After fighting these a few times, this is simple enough to Parry and another way you can deal some major damage to it.

The second combo, named a strange combo, is far more of a concern, as once you reach the later stages of the game, each hit can deal massive damage to you. This will see the Mime summon an invisible hammer and perform four hits with slight delays. That’s all you need to worry for with Mimes, they’ll only ever use these two combos so once you get the timing down, it’s just a matter of dealing enough damage.
