I'll give you a weird hint about how to spot mimic chests: think of Fleetwood Mac's most popular song (it was in GotG2).

And now that you found out about Lautrec, it's pretty funny when going into a new game with that knowledge. You can kill him immediately after releasing him, though he's a bit tough for early level. I always cheese him, after he travels to Firelink Shrine you can just nonchalantly kick him off the cliff he's standing right next to. Easy starting ring and you don't have to suffer losing access to your bonfire.
