How do I set a trap?

[KvaGram]

Plainly just the title question. I have not seen any hints on how to do it.
I tried dropping one, but the tribeman .. err.. tribes-animal, just walked right over it like nothing.

it seems that trap works on species only, not animal.
fear one are usefull to steal stuff without have to kill

i hat the same proplem you need to use the trap from the same menu like food

[KvaGram]

Sorry if my wording was wrong, but I meant one of the inhabitants of the villagers.
In particular, I tried to trap one of the crocodile people.

mmmh i dont understund, u droped one, the mobs walked right over it but you didnt know how to drop it ?

[mael]

ok you throwed it on the floor, not "using" by Q, ok

[KvaGram]

I play with a controller, well except in parkour. So "Q" says nothing to me. But yeah, I figured it out. Not the most convinient system, espcially if you suddenly get in combat, and need to switch to food. But I suppose that is how it is designed.

[mael]

yeah you are not the only one, it seems that controller players have trouble about this food / item menu.
glad u resolved your problem

[janner66]

You didn't say how you resolved it. I am having the same issue.

[KvaGram]

You lay traps the same way you eat food, or consume potions.
It's a bit inconvinient, but that's how.

Okay thanks. I've managed to set a trap and get two gatherers but How did you get the guard and trader scrolls please?

[KvaGram]

Been a while since I played. Got boring. But generally, you trap or kill a creature to get a scroll. This goes for traders and guards too.
For traders, your best bet it to keep your eyes open, and scout for them. They always travel between neutral and friendly tribal settlements.
Once you find one, run ahead of it's route, and plant a trap when none is looking.

At one point in the game, guards start escorting the traders and gatherers. If you are careful and lucky with your trap placement, you can get more than one scroll at a time.

Also a good time to get scrolls, is during or after a battle or raid. Any creature drop their scrolls, even if they aren't killed by the player.
