My thief is warning me of a trap but I didn't find a way to locate it and disarm it.
I've also tried the "Trap Zap" spell in front of the place I thought a trap was, but it doesn't work.
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,
If a trap is in front of you, the Trap Zap spell will destroy it (until you re-enter a map).
A thief cannot do this.
Also, a Levitation spell will save you from traps.
If you happen to encounter a trap, where this does not work, please drop me a note, because it is a bug then.

Thank you for your fast reply.
To use Trap Zap, I need to know where the trap is.
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.
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.
This is no exact science, so be careful.
I recommend to put a note on your map if you happen to encounter a trap.
You can simply touch the field on the map to add a note.

Mike,
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.
Mario is right, cast "Levitation" or "Flying Carpet" and that will save you from Spiked Pits and any trap that is 'ground' related.

Thank you for the clarification.
Maybe this can be added in the help file so other people will know too.
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.
