AnElden Ringplayer dominated their encounter with the pesky Preceptor Miriam by disguising themselves as an ordinary object using the Mimic Veil.Elden Ringis home to many unique encounters throughout the Lands Between. There are a plethora of different and intriguing enemies that players will confront. Many enemies can be a pain to deal with depending on what stats or builds each player has access to. However, there are strategies that players can take advantage of that do not require a stat investment.
Preceptor Miriam is one of those encounters that a lot ofElden Ringplayers loathe. The awkward arena, long chases, and the presence of other enemies make this a memorable but painful battle. Fans of previous FromSoftware games have likened this enemy encounter to that of Micolash,Host of the Nightmare fromBloodborne. The location where the fight takes place is similarly unforgiving, and the boss battles are certainly reminiscent of each other. Both fights are remembered for being excruciatingly long and players of both games typically dislike each fight for that reason. For the most part, it is melee users who have a hard time taking down Preceptor Miriam due to her teleportation ability and long-range attacks.

In a video posted to Reddit, oneElden Ringplayer had enough of Preceptor Miriam’s games and decided to play a trick of their own. The user, who is known as JackNewbie555, is seen in the video using theMimic Veil item to hide from the enemy. The Mimic Veil is an item that allows players to disguise themselves as an inanimate object, and in this case, disguise themselves as a plant in the corner. Preceptor Miriam proceeded to slowly advance upon their location, eventually standing right in front of the disguised player without noticing them. The enemy stood there for a few seconds before turning around and walking away. This gave JackNewbie555 the apt opportunity to take down Preceptor Miriam with a backstab attack.
Many players encountering the Carian Study Hall for the first time absolutely despise Preceptor Miriam and may have a very difficult time engaging her. This strategy might give hope to manyElden Ringplayers who have avoided the area altogether because of the tedious battle. The Carian Study Hall inElden Ringis a significant location. It can be altered if the player has obtained the Carian Inverted Statue as part ofRanni the Witch’s quest line. Only by using the Carian Inverted Statue can the player reach the Divine Tower of Luirnia.
