Plant a seed of Swiftthistle, trigger it, grab the food and get far enough away before the effect wears off.

[-] RadicalEagle@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago

I haven't played this game so my first thought is that I was looking at Loss.

[-] CrayonRosary@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago

Do it! It's called Shattered Pixel Dungeon. There are other variants, but it's the modern, balanced, "main" version of the game.

[-] AnalogyAddict@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

So it's better than original Pixel Dungeon? I gave up on that.

[-] CrayonRosary@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

I think so, yes. But it's 85% the same.

[-] Sidyctism@feddit.de 2 points 5 months ago

it doesnt have a weapon degradation system, which was like 90% of the reason why i gave up on the original. Also quite a bit new content

You can think about using a Potion of Levitation or 2 Stone of Blink (get by alchemizing 1 Scroll of Teleportation into 2 runestones). Other option would be to alchemize Telekinetic Grab Spell (Put Thrown Weapons into Liquid Metal and any scroll with any stone into Arcane Catalyst. Combine these twos to get 6x Telekinetic Grab.

[-] CrayonRosary@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

Arcane Catalyst is gone, my friend.

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago

It's even better when it's right on top of a hidden trap and you go to pick it up, but die instead.

[-] RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 6 months ago

Maybe you are lucky and the rations are upgraded!

[-] redd@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 6 months ago

What are upgraded rations?

[-] Carcel@lemmy.ml 6 points 6 months ago

There aren't upgraded rations, but if there were such a thing they wouldn't be destroyed by an explosion.

Does fire destroy rations?

It doesn't destroy, say, chargrilled meat, so I assume that it doesn't destroy rations.

If not, the problem is just tripping the trap without being hurt, and you can do that by taking off your armor or weapon or something and throwing it at the trap from a distance to trigger it.

[-] Idreamofcheesy@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Exploding trap. It destroys whatever is thrown on it and whatever is on an adjacent tile.

You would have to levitate, use chains, or a stone of disarming.

[-] tal@lemmy.today 2 points 6 months ago

Ah, gotcha, thanks. Wasn't aware that the explosion itself had an effect.

[-] basxto@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 6 months ago

It does not destroy everything, but it can destroy weapons, armor and food.

[-] Victor0176@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

those are explosive traps, they explode

[-] littletranspunk@lemmus.org 3 points 6 months ago

So to sum up solutions

Swiftthistle seed to basically freeze time, run in and grab it before the effects wear out

Stone of disarming to remove the traps

Potion of levitation to go over the traps

Stone of blink to blink onto it, if you have enough health then you only need one after you pick up the ration

Timekeepers hourglass to do the same as swiftthistle

Ethereal chains to move to it

Reclaim trap item to remove one of the traps

[-] MrRedstoner@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago

Also other (later game) options such as ally swap, heroic leap etc

[-] littletranspunk@lemmus.org 1 points 6 months ago

I thought of those, but usually people don't still have the starter armor at those points.

Definitely an option though

[-] wizzor@sopuli.xyz 1 points 6 months ago

Throw the trap with a rock to trigger it?

[-] littletranspunk@lemmus.org 6 points 6 months ago

That would destroy the ration

[-] wizzor@sopuli.xyz 2 points 5 months ago

Ah, thanks I did not know that!
