My thief is warning me of a trap but I didn't find a way to locate it and disarm it.<br/>
I've also tried the "Trap Zap" spell in front of the place I thought a trap was, but it doesn't work.<br/>
<br/>
For now, I have found no way to disable a trap. And my characters are getting damaged from time to time from the same trap.

Hi mike,<br/>
<br/>
If a trap is in front of you, the Trap Zap spell will destroy it (until you re-enter a map).<br/>
A thief cannot do this.<br/>
Also, a Levitation spell will save you from traps.<br/>
<br/>
If you happen to encounter a trap, where this does not work, please drop me a note, because it is a bug then.<br/>
<br/>

Thank you for your fast reply.<br/>
<br/>
To use Trap Zap, I need to know where the trap is.<br/>
Is there a way to know that without stepping in a trap and getting injured ?

For the "Trap Zap" I said it didn't work because I reentered the map and got my characters injured.<br/>
I thought it was permanent. Now I know it not.

There are some spells that reveal if a trap is roughly in your view direction.<br/>
This is no exact science, so be careful.<br/>
<br/>
I recommend to put a note on your map if you happen to encounter a trap.<br/>
You can simply touch the field on the map to add a note.<br/>

Mike,<br/>
<br/>
If you're anywhere near a "chest" then your Thief will starting warning you that there is trap...  That's because the actual chest is trapped and needs to be disarmed... Just an FYI because when I was in the Bandit Camp, my Thief was warning me while I was plugging around in that area.<br/>
<br/>
Mario is right, cast "Levitation" or "Flying Carpet" and that will save you from Spiked Pits and any trap that is 'ground' related.<br/>

Thank you for the clarification.<br/>
<br/>
Maybe this can be added in the help file so other people will know too.<br/>
<br/>
By the way, I've never played a Bard's Tale game before this one, so this is why I don't know how these things are supposed to work.
