How to unlock the Mimic Menagerie achievement in Gems of War - Definitive Guide

To earn this, you will be completing Explores in the kindom(s) of your choice. For fewest battles you'll want to pick the kingdoms with the extra mythstone bonus (+20%) but it isn't required for this achievement, so feel free to explore where you need traitstones or where you get some other benefit.

Each boss chest now has a chance to become a Mimic chest instead. If this happens, you'll fight another battle against 4 Mimics. The Mimics spawn at Level 150 (E12) regardless of the difficulty you were on during the explore! If you win this battle, instead of getting your token(s) you'll get twice as many tokens. You'll also be 1/3 of the way to this achievement.

That's it. Explore, find Mimic chests at the end, and then beat them three times cumulatively and you'll have this achievement.

The odds aren't fully known yet, but I did 13 explores to find my 3 mimics (3 mimic, 10 not mimic/regular). Since then I've been less lucky. After nearly 100 boss chests my sample size is getting to be large enough to make a proper estimate. My current estimate is that the mimics will appear instead of the boss chest about 10% of the time.

This means, that on average, you should expect to need to complete 30 explores with a boss chest to earn this achievement--and many, many more for the next in the series. As with all things average, some people will get this much sooner (like I did on only 13) and some will not get this until 100 boss chests, or more.

3 out of 13? I’ve done about 20 and found 0.

Based on the official forum epic vault key statistics, I had one of the hardest times finding one of any player. Hours and hours and hours and hours of grinding during an event.

TL;DR: Not many people seem to have worse luck at this game than I do.

I did about 30 yesterday and saw zero mimic battles. Someone in chat said it was a 20% chance.

Got one this morning which ended up being a horde mimic chest as well. The horde mimic did not drop a mythic card.

Did about 15 at Level 12 yesterday and not a sniff of one.

Hard to say whether they're very rare or it's just RNGesus kicking me in the 'nads again.....

Same I always have bad luck in this game while generally playing meanwhile different people have mythics all the time maybe the game screws people over lol that's why I save up gems for events but this one I can't use them this time

I explore almost exclusively at E12. The 13 I noted in my solution were all E12.

Mine were all E12 as the chest appear more often. If you're doing it at a lower level make sure to switch teams for the mimic as they will be at E12 (or max you have unlocked) difficulty as per the patch notes.

I had an incomplete explore 5 before the update at boss fight, then mythic, got a mimic first try, and it was way harder than level 5 I was doing. After that around 20+ explore 12 (and some 5/7/10/11) chests per day for 0 mimics.

Glad I bought a lottery ticket today, seems my luck is in. Ran 10s and got mimic(1/3) and mimic horde (2/3) for first 100, got boss for 2nd, then on 3rd ended up with mimic (3/3) again. Didn't get the horde or the stupid card, but didn't waste much time.

Really tidious, totally going off this grindy game now. Been pushing out G. Since November solid, and I want my life back, the fact they are rewarding new players and dont give us og's anything hurts a little too. Thanks for the guide, i totally believe you, but its a 10g that just isn't worth it.

Level 150? Ah, that would explain it. Nowhere near reaching enemies at that level yet.

Well - certainly luck-based, as I have done 100+ explore runs with boss chests and so far Ive had two mimics…
Cant even begin to imagine how many I will have to do until I get the mythic mimic card, with that ridicolous drop rate

Just unlocked this achievement today. Did explore 3 on Forest of Thorns. I'm level 947 and beat them pretty easily with a 10,585 team. Wasn't going for it, just happened to stumble across the mimics and it popped after defeating the squad of Hoard Mimics.

After you beat a mimic battle there's a change it will become a horde mimic where you'll fight against 4 horde mimics and get a 5x multiplier on the tokens and a chance at the mythic for the other achievement. My first mimic chest upgrade and the horde mimic chest also counted towards the achievement.

My stats: 40 Boss chests, 6 became mimics, 2 became horde mimics, 1 mythic card dropped.

Appear randomly when opening a boss chest in an expedition.
You need to meet this way 3 times and win. The troop level will be as open as possible, and not the one you are on

I did it in a day, playing at the 12th level of the expedition, about once every 8-10 boss chests a chest with mimics fell out, considering that from the battle you get 75-85 mythical stones, then about everything about everything can take from 25 to 35 battles. I needed a little more than 20 according to the sensations. If you play at lower levels, the number of battles increases proportionally and the time investment will be colossal.
