How to unlock the Watch your step... achievement in Darkest Dungeon - Definitive Guide

This is trickier than it seems as a lot of things must occur at once to work.

  1. A hero must first be at zero health.
  2. That hero must selected to be hit by the trap.
  3. The hero must die from trap damage, NOT a heart attack triggered by stress or damage over time.
  4. Finally, they cannot resist the death blow, which at base is resisted 2/3 of the time.
I possibly had bad luck but it seems like the randomness is somewhat seeded. This means if you quit and load, you must move around and do something a little different each time to get a different result. Only loading and taking one step onto a trap will repeatedly cause it to target the same character.

To set it up, bring a -deathblow trinket if you have one. Then move between two tiles repeatedly to build up stress and trigger a heart attack. Resisting the death blow will set them to zero health. Put the trinket on whoever is at zero health, step on the trap and hope for the best.

A trap can be encountered along corridors during expeditions (when you scouted the area you can see them as purple spider webs on the map:

If scouted, you can disarm a trap when it lights up red when you’re close enough, disarmed traps don’t do dmg so that won’t help you for this trophy.
If you don’t disarm it but walk over it, it will trigger. Upon being triggered, a trap inflicts both health and stress damage to a random hero in the party.
Additionally, traps could also inflict various additional effects that may be avoided thanks to hero resistances:
Traps in the warrens apply bleed.
Traps in the weald apply blight.
Traps in the cove apply a debuff to Speed and Dodge for 12 turns.

For this trophy, a hero has to die (suffer a Deathblow) from the initial inflicted damage from the trap. If he dies later from bleeding caused by a trap the trophy will not pop.

Tactics on this trophy;

  • Use a 0 resolve dispensable team
  • Do not disarm any traps
  • Don’t heal your heroes
  • Use low dodge heroes (you can even use – HP & - Dodge trinkets if you have them)

Walk along the corridor between the rooms. One of your heroes should be in poor health (preferably near death), so there will be a greater chance of dying from a trap.

Having cleared the dungeon, you can look for traps by entering and leaving the room; they constantly appear in the corridors.
