Runescape Mimic Boss Is Back: Every New Update Feature Revealed In February Patch Notes

Runescape devs just dropped a new update that’s sure to excite fans. For a limited time, the game will bring back the notorious Mimic Boss. If you don’t know what the Giant Mimic Boss is, it’s basically a larger, more difficult version of the Mimic. In order to find the boss, players have to use as mimic kill token to teleport themselves into Alice’s Treasure Chamber where the beast hangs out.

Below we’ve put together a quick overview of the limited time Mimic Boss challenge along with changes listed in the Feb. 5 patch notes and other changes players can expect during the month of February.

The Mimic Boss Returns: How To Get And Use Boss Tokens

From Feb. 5 - 19, every player has the opportunity to grab a free mimic token from the Mimic Chest located in Burthorpe, just outside the Warrior’s Guild.The token will transport you to the Mimic Chamber. Once there, you can choose to challenge an easy, medium, hard or elite Mimic Boss.

What Kind Of Rewards Can I Win?

If you defeat the boss before the time runs out, you’ll receive a Mystery Box whose prizes scaled with the difficulty of the boss. A few of the prizes mentioned in the official announcement include:

• Scrimshaws of Aggression, Sacrifice and Corruption

• Slayer VIP tickets

• Mimic Tongue Cape

• Mimic Helm

• Mimic Plushie

How Many Chances Do I Get To Defeat The Mimic Boss?

Players will receive one free ticket to combat the boss. After that, you’ll have to earn additional tokens through combat and, at times, skilling. If you’ve defeated every Mimic boss and still have extra tokens left, you have the option to sell them on the Grand Exchange.
