How Many Chests Are Lying This Time? - Mimic Logic

Mimic Logic Part 4 - up to four mimics are on the board, and it's up to logic to figure out which chests they are. This game has harder difficulties, and I'm a huge fan of the challenge.

0:24 if a black box tells you that there is a mimic among the black boxes, it's telling the truth.

[@hdjt-p9901]

Oh I get it now

[@SadToffee]

Tyler just straight up ignoring the whetstone in his inventory is crazy

[@dinoeebastian]

10:20 You can see that the bottom left box must be a mimic, because the middle right box says "1 Mimic is hiding in a red box." if this is true, then the only red box that's left to be a mimic is the bottom left box, and if this is false, then there must be 2 red mimics because one red box is a mimic already, therefore the bottom left box must also be a mimic, so in either scenario the bottom left box is a mimic. From here you know that the top left box is not a mimic and the centre box is a mimic, middle left box says "The top row has at least 1 mimic." which means top right box must be a mimic, which then means middle right box must not be a mimic.

[@birdmenace4746]

I love how all of the chests screwed over the single mimic in the 3rd puzzle (2:25) First time I ever had to edit for this - this should not have gotten that many likes. I won't say thanks, I'm just voicing my shock and surprise. Golly

[@LynPlaque]

"Hey so uhh we know this guy's a mimic so how about we all vouch for each other lol"

It's like in Among Us where everyone found out you vented in electrical and wanted to keep it a secret until the end of voting time

10:20 This puzzle was solvable. Start at the rightmost box. If it's lying, there must be at least 2 red mimics, which means the bottom row has a mimic. If it's telling the truth, the bottom row also must have a mimic. Therefore, there's at least 1 mimic in the bottom row. That means bottom left and middle are lying, while top left is telling the truth. Now go to the top right box. If it's telling the truth, then both the rightmost and leftmost boxes are lying. This gives you four mimics, which is impossible. That means top right box is lying, which means the rightmost box is telling the truth. It also means the leftmost box is telling the truth. Now, both the leftmost box and rightmost box are vouching for the bottom left box. Therefore, the final solution is bottom left, middle, and top right being mimics.

[@TC-cq7oc]

10:18 - The third-row first-box is logically a mimic, even before the blue crystal. If the second-row third-box "1 Mimic is hiding in a red box" is a mimic, then it must not be the only red mimic (or else it would be telling the truth), therefore 3-1 must also be a mimic. Conversely, if 2-3 isn't a mimic, then there must be a red mimic and the only option is 3-1. From there, you can solve everything.

[@jessicakinred8380]

Thank you for continuing to play this game. I hope that you get enough views so you can continue. I'm excited to see if you will play the numbers level in this game.

[@Imperial_Squid]

This game would be so good with legit dungeon crawling gameplay folded in, like the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon series but part of the game loop is clearing a floor so you can access each chest, if you can't clear it you get incomplete information and have to take risks

[@TheMarioExpertMan]

Please make this a weekly thing

[@zacksheets9726]

My favorite game of yours

[@appleportrait]

So glad to see more of this game

[@Necroes]

It's always great to see a return to some games that haven't been finished. I'd love to see a return to Peglin, now that it's had so many updates!

[@spiriniar]

i like the part where Tyler plays Mimic Logic

2:55 I appreciate the effort to get the image from the "Too Many Cooks" Video and add x's over all the faces.

[@FulKnight]

Considering my brain needs to translate what you are saying (im not native English speaker), then proceed this information, then hear what you are saying next... Yeah, sometimes i get lost in your thought process and just watch the video

[@Imperial_Squid]

I'm a native speaker and love puzzle games but I let it wash over me too lol, also remember that these are all edited down to remove the parts where Tyler is thinking about it all, it would be ridiculously impressive for anybody to process these puzzles as quickly as the video shows

So Tyler do you just Buy these buns and Not eat them? like a dead adventurer with a bunch of Health potions around him

At last the new episode on mimics. Rejoice! To commemorate this I declare that everything is a mimic!

[@itsprivate3061]

given enough time im sure i could figure out the logics but when im on the clock i always fk up

[@danielyuan9862]

At 10:19 the red box on the far right immediately concludes that the red box on the bottom left is a mimic.

[@iamadooddood4331]

Hot take: crystal balls are more important than attack candies at higher difficulties.

[@sophiesmidnightsquad]

39 minutes ago! Glad this game’s back!

[@versuzzero5335]

I think the levels with the confused chest is more difficult than having at most three mimics...

[@Vitaskt37]

"i gotta stop gambling"

[@Green24152]

Explaining the thumbnail thing: If we assume there are 2 more chests, there's 3 mimics. Red can't say there's 4 mimics without being a mimic themselves, which is a paradox. Green CAN say there's 3, because that leaves one truthful chest (themselves). This logic depends on the assumption that there is only 4 chests, and breaks as soon as you add a 5th.

[@meissmart6678]

How about the case where both are lying and the other two are truthful?

[@henriknobinder7395]

This game keeps fucking with my head by going immediately from being stupid easy to brain melting, and then back to stupid easy again except haha nope you thought you caught one logical paradox but there was another haha which, I guess, is just what happens when you let an algorithm procedurally generate the puzzles.

The pain I felt when he sold unequiped gear before equipping best gear hurt my soul (even though it didn’t end up mattering)

[@windrun87]

If you're talking about at the end of the run, he did equip his best gear. You can see his gear icons get updated. The act of him clicking the optimize gear just got edited out it seems.

8:25 Tyler got lucky because that was a 50/50 on the last chest

[@aqwkingchampion13]

No, no, see the top right chest, which he proved was safe, said there were 2 mimics, and his logic had already proven 2 mimics’ identities, so the box vouching for itself was fine. No 50/50.

Is this the game where you get wrong or opened a mimic, the video ends?

at 2:02 he said that the top left could be mimic but he is true???

[@saltysalt844]

What does "number of these boxes contain a mimic" mean? What these?

[@Schilani]

These boxes on screen? That statement always is an accusation, so that box is accusing a certain number of other boxes.

[@PowerStar004]

It could be worded as "There are X mimics in this puzzle". Since random is the only mode in which you don't already know this information, it can only appear in random mode. Also, random is the only mode that can have 4 mimic puzzles. All other modes cap at 2 or 3.

[@MichlBinI]

Tyler, please play the Return LG the Obra Dinn!

[@Dwebb6]

can we get a counter for how many times he says mimic

[@egg-1863]

Hi Tyler❤

[@PriZ0nM1ke]

When it says “N mimics are hiding . . .” Does it mean exactly N or at least N? I might be crazy but it seems like Tyler treats it differently on different puzzles.

[@eduardoxenofonte4004]

exactly N

[@ConfusionUwU]

if it's at least N, it would say "N mimics or more"

[@rabbigames]

can you return to the bunny game?

[@michasokoowski6651]

Tyler really needs to start to understand basic 1 dimensional logic. If a chest says that their colour contains a mimic, they are always telling the truth (if there are no confused chests) Why? Because mimic never points at themself when talking about possible mimics.

[@MichaelDarrow-tr1mn]

He has been doing that logic

[@michasokoowski6651]

@@MichaelDarrow-tr1mn Sometimes, like in the first puzzle in this video, he completely misses it and instantly goes for a more complex logic. But i suppose that in fact, it's more of an issue with his tunnel vision in puzzle games.

[@AliceErishech]

This has way too compelling gameplay for an RPGMaker game.

[@bensoncheung2801]

80?

[@0mn1P4wn4g3]

Your buying strategy isn't good. Always buy blue crystals/charms first, you passed up many chests you could have gotten here by skipping those purchases. They save you too. Next buy all healing items, then all attack items. If you arent on a floor 10 shop, don't buy candies unless you have an excess of 1200 dollars, about enough for a charm, a full heal, and maybe one other thing. If you're on a floor 10 shop you should buy attack candies on floor 10,20,30, then you should spend the rest bringing your defense up with candies on 30+. Using the masseuse to heal is a good choice at least. Also I didn't double check but it seemed like the first blue crystal you used could have been better used elsewhere, it seemed like that was solvable. In these easier modes, if a mimic implicate itself in a group, it's safe and there is a mimic in the group. There are some rules like this that you can find among the steam guides.

Don't really like the rpg part. You have control of basically nothing. Its up to luck if your gear is good or not. Equipments are really painful to switch between and if there are dupes you can't pick the damaged from the new one.

RPG part is motivation to open chests.
