There are three types of traps in the game, and we have examined all of them to make sure that our guide is as comprehensive as possible. So without further ado, here is how you can avoid all types of traps in Dark and Darker.

The Swinging Axe Traps

To avoid these traps, make sure to throw a torch down in front of you, so that you can spot when the axes are swinging. Next, be sure to proceed with caution and pass by the axes one at a time. If you rush through, the chances are far higher that one will manage to strike you. Going slow and steady is the key to successfully bypassing this trap.

The Wall Spike Traps

To take no damage from these spikes, make sure that you keep an eye on the walls at all times as you explore dungeons in Dark and Darker. There are small, circular holes in the wall which betray where the spikes are hidden. To avoid this trap, hold crouch and continue walking until you clear the area. Even though it may seem like the spike will still get you, by crouching your character is low enough to avoid this danger.

The Floor Spike Traps

To make sure that these traps don’t ruin your day, make sure that you are taking your time when you bypass them. They require a lot of parkour, so practicing movements in the game can pay off in the case of these traps. To get past them, jump from one corner to the other side of the trap, so you can clear the entire area of the trap. The spikes will stay up and can hit you if you walk over them, so treat the entire area as if its dangerous.

That marks the end of this guide on avoiding the different types of traps in Dark and Darker.
