Boulders still extracting salt after all these years? Love to see it

[BurntOutBulb]

Have I been sad that a boulder ended a very good run? Yes. Was it my fault because I'm a speedy Steve and wasn't looking out? Also Yes.

Boulders are like speed traps on the highway - if you keep hitting them check yourself

[Toren]

I already disabled them it didnt work so wtf. random traps are boulders right? i couldnt find another option and i never hit them randomly i fell for a trap when i picked up a potion and i was on a bridge and was taken by surprise when i heard a boulder that i thought was disabled.

Here are some tips to deal with boulders:
1. Don't sneak if possible. Since it's hardly possible to react to the falling of the boulder, move quickly and with a light source to avoid them. This way, you either see the holes in the ceiling with your light, or because you're moving fast, you're already out of the danger by the time it falls.
2. Don't stop moving when you hear the rumbling of the boulder. Instead keep running and listening and see where it might roll, to stand in a safe spot.
3. Boulders don't actually always one shot you. You can tank the damage once you become strong enough. They will take about 70HP but the boulders will literally shatter on impact.
To tank the damage it would be best to stay at full health whenever you can.
4. Boulders are obviously the most dangerous in a narrow spot. Be careful when going through unexplored 1x1 spaces, they can also be dead ends, leaving you no escape even if you outrun the boulder. The next tip is good to trigger such boulders.
5. You can trigger the boulder traps by throwing an item under the hole. Also works with other traps like arrows. But remember to move out of the way, because it might roll back towards you.
6. Play with a friend. If one of you survives, he can take your loot box and you get revived in the next level, and your friend can give you back all of your items. You only miss out on a bunch of XP, if you die early in the level.
7. If all else fails, you can disable boulders in the options (disable traps).

lol, I would say they are low speed traps though, because if you sneak and you don't see the boulder, you're dead. But if you're running, you automatically dodge the falling at least, and get some time to react to the rolling. Also see my other tips from what I learned.

Yeah i was pretty mad when i first posted this. I have kinda got used to them but I turn them off when I play solo. its much more comedic when your with friends and you exit the first room of a campaign and get wiped immediately.

How do you remove boulders? I can't find it in the options anywhere. I am playing on the QoD update if its an old feature that got removed.

its called random traps in game flags. also that will only get rid of the random boulders but some will still remain. if something is on a pedestal or in the center of a room be suspicious

There are two kinds of boulder traps. The first is a trap POI that can spawn inside the dungeon. The second is random boulders in the ceiling. You can disable random boulders but that does not effect the boulders that are built into certain trap rooms.
