Greetings, fellow Dungeon Keeper players!

I just finished Level 7 and I came across a problem:
All my imps died at those two enemy lightning traps, when they went by
or wanted to claim the tile its on.

Question: How can you disarm enemy traps?
I just sent higher level and unimportant creatures by until the traps
were used up.

Thanks for your help

I don't think you can disarm them - it all fits in with the general
storyline - you are supposed to be evil and so your minions are
expendable.

I did the same as you and threw my lowest creatures at them until the
traps were spent - I had to do the same with Imps on a later level -
but that /is/ expensive :-)

With lightning traps (and the others) there seems to be a pause
between when the trap is finished its effect and when its reset, if you
get the timing right you can drop an imp nearby and it should manage to
capture the square without re-activating the trap. It does however mean
activating the trap at least once.

Alternatively force medium to high level dragons across the trap
squares as they heal damage rapidly.

Who knows, there may be an even easier way of doing this?

Hope this helps anyway

I find dropping lev 5 or 6 trained creatures by it will do the trick,
they get busy hacking at it. You will loose one or two. Acceptable
losses.

Have you tried dial-up games? seems to freeze after about 10 seconds.

I would like to know if you have heard anything about it being internet
enabled? Kali? Something to allow 4 players? I would result to using
BT's wireplay again if need be.

Thanks,

Rob.

Yup, thats how to do it !!!!
Use high level creatures as Dragons or Wizards on Lightning traps, possess
them & walk over them.
Let the creatures heal, and do it again.... and again!!!.
Put Bile Demons on Gas traps as they are un-harmed by them.
