A spider's web. The spider who left it must have been huge, as it seems to be made for trapping [player's species] rather than flies.

Web.png A web is a trap which ensnares anything which steps onto it as though it were hit by a throwing net. The victim becomes entangled and cannot move, melee attack, or use ranged weapons until they slip out of the web. Webs found on the Dungeon floor will not break after a creature escapes.

Certain creatures are immune to webs:

Webs can be found in certain rare Dungeon vaults and the Crypt, but they are mostly found in huge numbers all over the Spider's Nest.

Temporary nets, which are destroyed after the victim escapes, can be created by jumping spiders or the Ensnare spell.

Strategy

More so than most traps, webs can be used to your advantage against careless enemies. Characters, especially Short Blades users, can deal preposterous damage to an enemy before it is able to escape.

History

  • Prior to 0.28, web immunity was set by categories of monsters instead of with a flag.
  • Prior to 0.26, triggering a web trap alerted nearby monsters with the web sense flag.
  • Prior to 0.23, giant-sized monsters were immune to webs and would destroy webs as they walked through them.
