Finding the Trap Controls

Explore the castle towers and walls to locate arrow trap switches. These are typically positioned in elevated areas or defensive positions that overlook courtyards and approach routes. Check the ramparts and upper rooms first.

Triggering Traps at the Right Moment

Don't activate traps randomly. This maximizes the damage dealt and conserves trap uses. Watch enemy movement before pulling the switch.

Combining Traps with Gate Mechanics

Close the castle gate to push enemies into trap zones, then activate the arrows. This two-step approach creates a deadly corridor. Barbarians caught between the gate and incoming arrows take heavy damage.

Multiple Trap Strategy

The castle has several trap locations. Learn where each one fires and what area it covers. Chain trap activations as enemies move through different zones. This creates a defensive gauntlet that weakens or eliminates waves before they breach your inner castle.
