Frieren needs the tried and tested Dark Souls paranoia strat, poke every single chest you find because it just might be a mimic.
Talk about a final boss! I always hate mirror copy enemies in games, they always end up either being really easy, unable to properly utilize your character's tools or an absolute nightmare to deal with. Denken's team has a hell of a battle ahead of them!
So in the (distant?) past at least one person opened a mimic detected by Mikheit and got a real treasure chest, causing the spell to have a known 99% success rate instead of 100%. Could Frieren be that person and she was just too humble to admit it?
Also, from what we've seen of the damage caused by mimics (essentially nil), a 1% chance of getting real treasure is not too bad depending on the potential value of the treasure ~as many gacha game players know~.
Yeah, the mimics of this world seem to be an inconvenience at most, compared to the death monsters I know them for. If you have a teammate to save you, it really does seem worth it to try for a rare piece of loot. Frieren might actually be onto something with her antics!
The replica even nailed Frieren's uninterested expression. With an episode next week titled "Perfect Replicas" I think we know which type of fight this is going to be for Denken and co.
