* The [[:category:mimics|mimics]] have a limited aggro range. You can Reraise without aggro if you make sure you do not die directly on top of a mimic. As long as you're about 4' away, you can Reraise safely after the mimic turns back into a green text Chest. Since the mimic only draws in every couple of seconds, you can make sure you die at a safe distance if you're careful to time your final run away from the mimic before you die. |

− | * '''This can be done without any fighting with a wide range of jobs.''' I learned the following strategy from friends on Hades. Have two people sub NIN. One plays guinea pig while the other, standing about 25' away, plays attention grabber. The guinea pig checks the chest with shadows up, and the attention grabber uses a ranged attack to grab hate and the guinea pig gets out of range if a mimic pops. The mimic will either immediately despawn, or will not have the range to use Draw In on the attention grabber. Just move on to the next chest without worries. The third person can either sit near the Runic Release, or you can have them come help sleep the fish in case of aggro. The fish there are easily slept with Sleep or Lullaby, and your party can just run out of their tracking range. |

Some notes about this strategy Sometimes there is a bad positioning for ranged attacks on ships, if this occurs, you can peel hate from the tank by use of job abilities and/or spells. THF and RNG can excel with this, the Thief popping the chests and tanking them easily while the RNG peels hate. If the RNG is drawn in due to bad positioning, have the THF use accomplice, mug, steal, etc. to regain hate on the mimic, while the RNG runs back out of range and spams Sharpshot, Velocity Shot, Utsusemi, etc. To retain the versatility of this strategy and be prepared should an unlucky layout occur. Try to match out your available job pairs. (A THF for quick hate shifts, RNG for grabbing hate at will, WAR for warcry, etc.) If you don't have a SMN, PUP or BST, this is a very effective strategy. |
