The Pitfall Trap (Japanese: 落し穴のワナ) is a Trap in  Mystery Dungeon: Shiren the Wanderer.

Effect

Shiren

You will fall and take 3 - 6 damage regardless of defense, and will either ascend one floor, descend one floor, or climb back up, depending on the current floor and dungeon.

Monsters

Will be instantly defeated and Shiren will gain no Experience.

For extended strategy, see: Trap Strategy.

Number of Uses

A naturally generated Pitfall Trap can be triggered infinite times, though a trap placed down as a Trap Master will disappear after 1 - 4 uses by Monsters.

When successfully throwing a Pitfall Trap at an entity, it will be used and disappear.

Pitfall Trap Direction

Depending on which floor it is triggered on in which Locations, a Pitfall Trap can either ascend Shiren up a floor, or descend down a floor. In some cases, Shiren will not ascend or descend, but will crawl back up instead.

Table Mountain has the most complex pattern for this, for example Pitfall Traps do not spawn in some areas and therefore cannot be created or found, as well as these areas being surrounded by towns so traps cannot be brought from other areas without becoming Broken Traps.

Table Mountain

Floors	Area	Trap Availability	Direction
1 - 7	Canyon Hamlet to Mountaintop Town	No spawns, inventory traps are broken, Bottomless Jar is successful	Crawl Up
8 - 14	Old Mine to Cryptic Rock Valley	Spawning available	Ascend

29	Golden City (town)	Town, inventory traps are broken, Bottomless Jar is unsuccessful	N/A
30	Tainted Insect Boss room	No spawns, inventory traps were broken, Bottomless Jar is successful	Crawl Up
N/A = Pitfall Traps cannot spawn, be brought or created. Crawl up = Shiren will crawl back up to the floor and not ascend or descend. Ascend = Shiren will move up one floor, e.g. from floor 8 to 9. Descend = Shiren will move down one floor, e.g. from floor 10 to 9.
