Sudden lunges and invulnerable chest slams

The Hallowed Mimic is a formidable biome chest monster encountered in the Underground Hallow during Hardmode, or spawned by depositing a Key of Light into an empty wooden chest. Far swifter and tougher than common Mimic specimens, it performs enormous bounding leaps across cave chambers, drop-stomps through wooden platforms, and periodically snaps shut into an invulnerable defensive posture that deflects incoming ranged arrows and magic attacks back at the player.

Hunting the Daedalus Stormbow in early Hardmode

Conquering this aggressive creature early in Hardmode offers transformative arsenal upgrades. It features a 20% drop chance for the Daedalus Stormbow, a legendary bow that rains arrows from the sky to obliterate large targets like The Destroyer. Defeating it may also yield the Flying Knife (20%), Crystal Vile Shard (20%), or Illuminant Hook (20%), alongside generous stacks of Greater Healing Potions (100%).

Trivia

  • Placing a single Key of Light into any empty chest transforms it into a Hallowed Mimic once closed.
  • While clamped shut, the creature reflects direct player projectiles.
