Reduce frequency of traps and mimics in Palace of the Dead

[mp-please]

id be fine with the frequency of exploding chests if the ones that didnt actually gave an upgrade, Since they dont always do that, an exploding chest just becomes more annoying than anything. and it seems like by the end its like 80% exploding chest 15 no upgrade 5 maybe an upgrade

Should've seen my party yesterday after clearing like 10 mobs packed in a room for a silver chest just to have it blow up. Or like today where while clearing a room for a silver chest, another silver chest dropped and both blew up.
You can't make these things up, it's just beautiful rngeesus poetry.

I think what I bother is the mimic even it's golden chest it still giving potion rather pomerade, also the silver chest as well...

Challenge would require quick action or reflexes to deal with a situation. Random BS is just that.

Visual cues to warn players of mimics (like dark souls does it with the chains) and traps would be nice because then it's up to reaction time rather than just being well one second and being dead the next.

This man speaks the truth.

I ran a couple of times Solo and found it frustrating that I either got killed because of Invisible traps and get attacked while unable to do anything or the chests explode. The fact you can make traps appear eases the run but having a Pomander on every level isn't always possible
For those saying the PotD is easy have had better luck than me. I understand it is a challenge but what do you do when you don't get the upgrades you need or get cursed because of a trap and have to spend time waiting for the effect wear off or a chest eplodes which means you lose too much time recovering and this is less time for the end of run boss?
I know how to make sure I don't get surrounded too much and I always try to walk the edges but when a trap is placed on the route you are on with no way of seeing it that's a pain. Having the chest exploding when you need a weapon or armour upgrade is annoying because that's one less chance to get said upgrade.

Together with don't open chests with aggroed mobs up and problem solved.

Don't forget the most important rule: No touchy until HP bar is full.

I just wish the tripping of the traps were a more interactive experience than it currently is: stepping on them because they're literally invisible.

What I've found in runs with my husband and our friend is that the traps tend to be toward the interiors of the rooms. If you hug the walls, you will almost never set off a trap.

I'm sure the traps have a red marker on the floor indicating where they are?

Only if you use a "Pomander of Sight".

As far as I'm aware that only occurs when they have been revealed by a Pomander at least that's been my experience so far.. If I'm wrong I apologize.

I actually don't mind the mimics, gives me a use for witching outside of "oh crap someone spawned a mob trap"

The exploding silver chests get on my nerves though (don't think I've had a brown or yellow/gold blow up ever, can they even?) , I must have really bad luck because the silver ones do this to me like waaaay too often on the lower floors, like I could handle the "unchanged" but the exploding silvers get to the point where I just always expect it to blow up, that has been my experience anyway.

In regards to other traps, fighting in the halls connecting the rooms, is the way to go, as other people have already stated. On the bright side, I've never seen 2 in one room... so if you blow one least you know the room is clear lol

You are correct, Pomander of Sight As Foxy said above.
