The dart trap is the weakest trap in the game. It holds 3-11 darts and fires when stepped upon, poisoning the target.

Repel Missiles reduces the chance of this trap being able to hit the player.

Much like other traps, dart traps cannot be disarmed, but they do have a limited supply of ammunition. They are fairly uncommon, appearing only in the Ossuary branch and in the Tomb.
