Miscellaneous: Dragon Necropolis: Traps & other misc adjustments

I noticed they mentioned disarming in the beetle trap section. Locate works to point me at traps, but I've never able to disarm them here on p99 because of line of sight errors.

There was another guide post saying you can't disarm them, to think of them more like 'ambushes'. I'm not sure which is really the case, but I believe they implemented them as 'unable to disarm' on P99

You can disarm the beetle/dispel/aoe traps here, they just have to be, as the text implies, in your line of sight.

Bump for some additional evidence of the phase spider traps and multiple beetles spawning at once (although these mention a range of like 2-16 spawn at once):

I want to know how you solo the bug traps in DN.

2-15 of those little buggers spawn, they corpse camp you when you FD, and if you stay feigned for a couple of minutes they despawn.

I doubt you can tank them all at once. How do you single pull them?

Bolded above section as they seem to insta despawn on P99 after flopping.

One quick note to the traps in DN. The traps can spawn 2,4,8, or 16 of the lil buggers and are on a 30 min timer.

Hmm I need to test these Bugs in DN out.

I know of 3 areas where you can trigger the traps in Dn for the swarming Beetles.

There are 2 near the shade of jaled dar and th eone in the tunnel to ratmen.

One thing to keep in mind about the traps is every once in a while the produce baby phase spiders rather than swarming beetles. Yea they warp ya and usually down to the rats.

(Note it mentions they phase you, as previous evidence showed)

Care to elaborate? I've done some testing with some of the traps, circling around them and detecting to get rough ideas of where in a radius the traps were located, and I've never been able to disarm. For ones in the tunnels, detect always points me at walls. When I said line of sight bug I meant the trap entities themselves were probably in walls or underground, and thus out of line of sight and unable to be disarmed.
