Items in Dark Souls 2 are found in game either on bodies, dropped from slain enemies, rewards, sold by merchants, through trade with Dyna & Tillo, or from chests.


Be warned: While a chest carries the risk of being a Mimic, it is possible to destroy wooden chests with a few hits. If you do this, the items they contain will be destroyed, and in their place will be Rubbish. Also you can hit the chest once (melee or from safe distance), if a healthbar appears above the chest, finish him. 2. Or simply equip anything from the moon butterfly set and stand near the chest. A mimic will start to get a poison mist from your gear. Alternatively, look closely; mimics have locks.

        While in Drangelic Castle today, I wandered into the King's Gate bonfire and found an item just sitting right next to the bonfire, figuring I had not dropped anything recently, I was very concerned. I picked it up and it was rubbish, I hadn't been invaded recently or anything, so maybe the drift items mechanic slipped into DS2 without anyone noticing??

        • Anonymous

          Ds2 is dying its ok but why i cant invade when i see a lot phantoms with sl 150 and 200 too and also see waiting for duel phantoms but i just wait and wait and WAIT!! Why?:/
