Explosive Trap Cane

Tavernkeep medal purchase and proximity detonation

The Explosive Trap Cane is sold by the Tavernkeep for 15 Defender Medals once any mechanical boss has been defeated in the world. Setting this cane places a tier-two sentry trap on solid ground that arms rapidly. When ground enemies cross its trigger zone, the device detonates in a fiery explosion that inflicts 59 base sentry damage across all monsters packed in the blast radius, knocking back intruders.

Huntress armor oil synergies and lane defense

Because sentries scale best with raw base attack power rather than swing speed prefixes, Ruthless provides the highest practical combat benefit. Equipping Huntress's Jerkin coats targets in oil upon triggering the trap, making consecutive fire damage substantially higher. It outperforms tier-one traps in Old One's Army tier two by wiping out dense waves of Etherian Goblins and Drakins before they threaten the Eternia Crystal.

Trivia

• Unlike conventional minions, the explosive trap remains dormant until a hostile target walks directly over its pressure plate.
• The sentry detonation bypasses standard enemy invulnerability frames when interacting with multiple trap triggers.
