Generates Anywhere
Effect Drops rocks

The falling rock trap is a type of trap that drops a rock on its victim's head.

Effects

The falling rock usually does 2d6 damage. If you are wearing a metallic hat, the damage is reduced to 2. The rock stays on the ground. Each time the trap is triggered there is a 115 chance of it disappearing. [1] [2]

Removal

Trigger it repeatedly until it runs out of rocks.

Strategy

Early pet deaths are often due to this type of trap, earning it the nicknames "Puppy Pounder" and "Kitty Killer".

The falling rock trap can be used as a source of rocks.

Although the elven leather helm is an excellent helmet in the late game, in the early game it has the disadvantage of not protecting from falling rocks.
