Dumbfuck!
Black Mountain Mine is notorious for its difficulty.Replaying Arcanum many years later - it’s always nice to wait long enough to forget most of a game but still know the basic framework of how it works. Entered Black Mountain Mine as a gunslinger around level 14; on the third floor and several levels later I’m starting to feel worn down and hopeless. That optional pack of Brute Fangs was nuts, and thank God for trap detect scrolls. After mostly avoiding or taking combat slowly due to low cash/bullets before now, I’m starting to understand when I should be using the turn-based mode or not.
I remember hating it in the past, but now knowing it’s one of the few mandatory sections like it I don’t want the gauntlet to end..
And sheer number of traps.
Since I assume you are a Tech character, build a Flow Specktrometer. It allows you to detect traps but it does require batteries (you can buy those from Inventor shops).
