How to unlock the Bump in the Night achievement in Neverwinter - Definitive Guide
This achievement is unlocked by killing a mimic, a beholder and a gelatinous cube. These monsters are very rare, and you'll only encounter them a few times on your way through the game. Here's how to find them:
Mimic - If you've played Dark Souls you'll know what they look like. They appear as normal chests, but they'll turn hostile as soon as you try to loot it. I encountered several of them on my way to 60, but a guaranteed place to get it is the Clockwork Guild Tomb. As long as you're thorough, you should be able to get this one no problem.
Gelatinous Cube - There's only one of these in the entire game, but thankfully it's unmissable. You'll encounter it during the Clockwork Guild Tomb, and you'll know what it looks like when you see it. He hits hard, so be careful.
Beholder - This is the one many are missing, probably because they just don't know where it is. I discovered that one of the bosses in the skirmish "Aberrant Assault" is a beholder. He's not even the final boss and he's a fairly easy fight with a full group. He's called "Eye Tyrant". The only restriction on this skirmish is that the minimum level to queue up for it is 57, and as far as I know this is the best and easiest place to kill a beholder.
Happy hunting!
The Beholder is a large beast that lurks in the depths of the "Underdark." The Underdark is basically the underworld of Neverwinter, a vast labyrinth of underground tunnels and caves. A beholder enemy is probably easiest found in the 'Aberrant Assault' skirmish, which is available from levels 57 to 69. You can find one in the Kessel's Retreat skirmish (available at level 70), and within the Dwarven Valley zone in a heroic encounter.
The Gelatinous Cube can be located in the "Clockwork Tomb" quest within the "Neverdeath Graveyard," you will literally run into it. You can also find one in the 'Temple of the Spider' dungeon delve; it's a little off the beaten path though in a secret area. There are also a few scattered in Castle Never if you ever get that far. Don't confuse it with the mount version of the same name if you're searching for it in the Wiki. These 'Ooze' type enemies are also a staple for a lot of fantasy MMO's, sometimes known as 'gels'.
The Treasure Chest Mimic is not your friend; sitting there looking all innocent with the promise of epic loot only to bite your face off! One of these can also be found with the "Clockwork Tomb" along with the Cube, so to save time, kill them both in this zone. Mimic's are in multiple zones; one can also be found during the "Fists of the Warband" quest. Mimic's have been around since early Final Fantasy games and numerous games since including Dark Souls.
Here's a great tip for telling if a chest you're about to open will eat your face. If you look at the text prompt before you open it will say "Open the Chest" this means it's a Mimic and gnashing teeth will soon follow. If you see the text "Search the Chest" this is a normal chest with goodies inside!
The cube can be found in the final quest at the Neverdet Cemetery location. According to the quest, you will be sent to the watchmakers' castle, there you will see him in one of the corridors, it is impossible to miss.
I first met the beholder in the “Attack of the Lost” battle, where he is the boss, you can’t miss him. Also, paladins (not sure about other classes) can meet him in a quest for an artifact (level 60).
