How to unlock the Mimesis achievement in Prey - Definitive Guide

For this achievement you need the Typhon Power "Mimic Matter" (Only Level I is required, which is unlocked after you scan 2 mimics). It requires 2 Neuromods and is in the Morph category.

The best place to get this achievement is in the main quest "Detour", where you acquire the Psychoscope and Mimic Detection Chipset. You will also be instructed to scan some mimics to gather research, which will make the ability available.

Once you have the research and 2 Neuromods you need to unlock Mimic Matter I. Use your Psychoscope to scan new rooms for disguised Mimics, you can only get this achievement while a Mimic is disguised, not while it is attacking you. From a safe distance target the Mimic cn_LT and release to become the same object as the Mimic.

If you get too close or alert the Mimic it will either flee or attack you, and you won't be able to Mimic it.

Best to get this earlier in the story. I'm running around in the late game and seems like the mimics got replaced by higher level Typhons. I've been to 3 sections and can't find any.

Mimesis Achievement/Trophy Guide

After you get the ability to scan enemies, you will need to scan 2 Mimics to gain the ability to use the "Mimic Matter" skill. Once you have this ability, follow the path until you find a room where you have to activate a console near a containment unit. Don't do this and instead, turn around and travel down the elevator.

Once down here you will see a Mimic to your left scurry away and transform and will usually go into the middle room. Go in the door on the right hand side of the middle room and use "Mimic Matter" on the Mimic itself to transform into whatever it is.

Note: You can not transform if the Mimic is in its normal state.

After obtaining your first Typhon Power (Mimic Matter), you'll be able to Mimic objects, including Mimics. You will only be able to mimic a Mimic when it is in object form.

The easiest way to do this is to use your Psychoscope to find a Mimic in hiding (object form), get close enough to activate your Mimic Matter power (but not close enough that the Mimic breaks out of object form), and activate the power. You will mimic whatever object the Mimic is currently set to. Once in object form, you will unlock the trophy.

For this achievement you will need the Typhon Power "Mimic Matter", which will require scanning two different living Mimics with the Psychoscope. I also recommend installing the "Mimic Detection" chipset so you can see when mimics are disguised as objects. This achievement can only be earned while mimicking a mimic that is disguised. Scan rooms with your Psychoscope to find a mimic and, from a safe distance, target the mimic with and release it to become the same object as the mimic. I recommend doing this on your "Typhon Powers Only" playthrough.
