Mimic Spider Character Guide

The Mimic Spider is the Old Mine's signature threat: a LVL 81 husk of a spider (1,563 HP in the official screenshot) that waits among the timber frames while you mine. The name says the tactic — it mimics the landscape until a crystal grab wakes it. The developer's "Get Got While Mining Crystals" clip documents exactly that.

At LVL 81 it out-levels the mine's purpose, so the honest advice is match it or avoid it: high-tier spells (the Wound Reversal school, which returns 19% of damage dealt as HP) keep you alive while your best wand does the work. The OVERKILL tag on its nameplate in the screenshot is a reminder of how fast fights against it end — one way or the other.

The mine is where crystals come from, and crystals power the portal network (Crystals for a Portal, 4.5%). The Spider is the toll you pay for the fast-travel economy — most players meet it exactly as often as they mine.
