A dispersal trap is a magical trap that causes all actors (the player and monsters) in line of sight of the trap to blink when anything steps on the trap.
Tips and Tricks
- Be careful to avoid letting anything step on one of these traps, if being blinked could put you in a significantly worse position. Examples include being displaced off the stairs (especially in the Tomb), or having monsters trapped between you and your retreat path.
- When there is only one monster around, and that monster is normal speed, you can use dispersal traps to your advantage to try to create a gap between you and the monster so that you can fire wands or spells or ranged weapons at them, or run away, in a similar manner to the Blink spell. This is not recommended for faster monsters, as they could catch you up as you run away and deal damage.
- A potion of lignification will make you immune to this trap, but also prevents you from moving normally.
History
- Dispersal traps were added in 0.23, as part of the trap rework.
