Dante's Mound

Dante's Mound traps in Dungeon Keeper were volcanoes that launched lava-filled rocks over walls that exploded on impact and temporarily left a pool of lava on the ground. They were highly effective against groups of minions.

Notes[]

Lobbed lava-filled rocks over obstacles at range, dealing physical damage.
Temporarily left lava behind on impact, dealing fire damage.
Effective against grouped ground targets.
Its best use was for pulling Trolls towards their location, very good at dragging them past other traps and rooms that could damage them.
Could be effective at protecting resource rooms.
Lava pool damage was effective against Trolls, though their initial hit did not do fire damage.
Had long upgrade times, though this was offset by its max level: 15.
Provided one of the highest DCR per upgrade of any trap.
Its first strike would damage Magmaw, though the lava pool damage would heal him, so it damaged then healed him...
