Took me a second to remember it, the one in Sen's Funhouse isn't really a beginners trap since you'll always see a manserpant get run over by it.

In Morrowind with the Tribunal DLC, an OP assassin will come after you right in the beginning and no guards will come save you from the assassin.

Nonstandard game over for beating a boss the game doesnt want you to beat.

Or wasting resources on an unbeatable boss

i'd say the drake sword is more of a trap than anything else. It lets you be lazy and power your way through a good portion of the game without learning how to properly play because you can just dps things down, but then you hit a hard wall when it suddenly can't 1 or 2 hit things and you havn't built up the skills to deal with enemies

Deck builder games are famous for beginners traps.

In Slay the Spire, the card Flex gives you free strength for the turn (makes attacks hit for slightly more) and costs zero energy to put in play. Everyone takes this card thinking it's gonna be pure benefit.

It's only after playing a few runs you figure out that "zero cost" cards do have cost, because you're constantly drawing this over your actual good cards and end up getting destroyed by the first boss.

It makes sense in Japan

(where O = "yes" or "correct", X = "no" or "wrong")

Any game where you're not supposed to sell old equipment, but they don't open up crafting until 3+ sets of gear in.

Not only that, but everyone turns hostel to you if you attack the assassin first.

Also morrowind, choosing skills you actually use as major and minor skills causing you to level up to fast.

FF14 original release. Level 30 mobs in a level 1-5 area. No level tags on them. Looked exactly like all the other mobs in the area. Or the T-Rex in FF12.

Death in Gauntlet.

Another one is FF9, Gizmalukes Grotto, which is a little later in the first disc.

once you get to level 10, but yeah, that assassin was always a lot harder than anything I had encountered previously. I don't remember if I ever died even the first time I encountered it but I was like "holy fuck that was tough O_O"

  • The conditions for being attacked in your sleep differ between the PC and Xbox versions of the game. In the PC version, you can be attacked at any time, even when you sleep for the first time after starting a new game with Tribunal installed. In the Xbox version, you will only be attacked after you have reached level 6.

Speaking of Dark Souls noob traps... that bonfire they added in Remastered in Vamos' room in the catacombs must suck if a new player actually finds it and rests on it before getting the lord vessel.

Literally have to walk all the way back up to Firelink past the bonewheel room lol... RIP in peace.

I had it on xbox. Not sure why I remember it as 10 but probably skyrim related because a bunch of stuff happens then. Does dark brotherhood unlock at 10 in skyrim? That could be why because the morrowind assassin is dark brotherhood also.

Also games which scale difficulty extremely quickly. So stuff like FF8 and killing mobs only makes the game harder, or 7th Saga/Dragon Quest 7 and the ridiculous difficulty curve, or Breath of Fire Dragon Quarter which expects you to restart the game over and over to get stronger.
