Description
Mimic Tear (known as Stray Mimic Tear during fight at Hidden Path to the HaligtreeGrace) is a Boss in Elden Ring. This Elden Ring Mimic Tear Guide features boss locations, tips, strategies and videos on how to defeat the Mimic Tear easily, as well as boss stats and lore for the Mimic Tear.
The Mimic Tear is found in Nokron, Eternal CityGrace and the Hidden Path to the HaligtreeGrace. Its fight is a mirror match as the boss copies your equipment and appearance when fighting you. Mimic Tears are special kinds of Silver Tears that can completely mimic their opponent. They were created by the people of the Eternal Cities, and Mimic Tears in particular were created in an attempt to forge a lord.
This is an optional boss, as players don't need to defeat it in order to advance in Elden Ring. However, doing so yields useful Items and Runes. Take note of all the Weapons and Spells you have equipped when spawning the boss in - these are the exact same weapons and spells you'll find yourself faced against. With this in mind, it's possible to unequip all your equipment and spells before the fight starts to force the Mimic Tear to fight with its bare fists. Re-equipping them during the boss fight will not re-equip them for the Mimic Tear. It drops the Silver Tear Mask or Blackflame Monk Amon Ashes when defeated.
Bosses are unique and challenging Enemies that can be encountered all over the Lands Between. Great Enemy bosses can drop unique Spirit Ashes, Weapons, Spells, and other various Items.
A Mimic Tear can be summoned as a spirit for aid in battle by using the Mimic Tear Ashes.
Notes
The Mimic Tear boss is encountered in multiple locations:

One is encountered as the Stray Mimic Tear in the secret catacombs under the Hidden Path to the HaligtreeGrace. See the location's page for details on how to reach the boss.
