the spikes in the dungeon do way to much damage

[Maxter Chief]

then you dont have enough life they do about 40 true dmg. I'm sorry but you need more life if your in the dungeon you should have at least 200+ life if not all 400 you can have. You need to digg more caves out and find crystal hearts use splunker potions as they high light them. It takes ,bottled water, blinkroot, moonglow, and gold/platinum ORE. One of those should net you some more ore and flowers and a crystal or two.

avoid spikes?

If there are some spikes use the grappling hook to move about. Also, don't rush through the dungeon, you are bound to hit them all the time.

If your realy that annoyed by them, just get rid of m. Mine them all

[ShadeDaystar]

I think the most annoying thing about the spikes is that they only damage players. Never monsters. It also appears that they have no sell value, making them that more annoying.

At any rate, I agree with the person(s) above me. Slow down your exploration a bit and mine them out of the walls as you go.

With enough health, the spikes aren't that big of an issue... but if you aren't careful they can certainly catch you by surprise.

Solution: Have more than 62 health.

Proposed solution 1: increase your defense. If you can't find better materials, consider reforging some of your acessories to have defense granting prefixes (warding is the best with +4.) This does come at the expense of any other potential bonuses you might be enjoying.

Proposed solution 2: increase your max life.

Proposed solution 3: remove the spikes via mining or explosives. Sticky bombs work best for this method, as the spikes take a while to mine through.

Stop jumping on a stationary block.
Easy as that.
