Notes
Info taken from https://shirenthewanderer.com/shiren5/system/traps
How to make Monster trigger the trap?
You’d need to equip Trapper’s Bracelet (a reward from a certain post-game dungeon)
Any other way?
If Monster stands on the tile with trap (and there’s no item in that tile)
and the item you throw misses, it’ll drop to the tile and trigger the trap.
If you wear Inacc. Bracelet, your thrown items will always miss.
Very situational, but who knows, it might save you?
Thrown items that bounced on the wall will also trigger the trap.
What if there’s no wall to bounce on?
You can use Rocks but it’s limited to 3-tile radius.
“That thrown item just fell on a different tile!”
That tile (where the item is supposed to fall on) has a trap.
Explosion is dangerous. It damages you and destroy item in 1-tile radius.
But did you know?
Monster hit by the 1-tile radius blast also vanish instantly.
Onigiri (except the special kind) outside pot will be instantly grilled.
Decay trap rots your Onigiri? boom! grilled, safe to eat, also restores HP!
Explosion damages while Big Explosion sets your current HP to 1.
“So?” You can’t die if you step on Big Explosion while on 1 HP.
(something I’m unsure of)
Unless it’s a Monster Room or certain puzzle / tutorial dungeon.
I’ve never seen a trap on room’s entrance. Know what I’m talking about?
[T][O][T]
[O][T][O]
[T][O][T]
Imagine a 3×3 room with 4 connecting hallways.
Those 4 [O] tiles will never have a trap in them.
I’ve also never seen a Karakuri monster create trap on those entrance tiles.
Have you ever seen it?
