The spikes will trigger when a lemming walks over them
- "Creatorverse", Lemmings: The Puzzle Adventure
Retractile spikes are multi-triggered traps in Lemmings: The Puzzle Adventure.
Icon
Retractile spikes are destructible blocks that conceal numerous spikes which extend and retract through holes on top of the block. As a multi-triggered trap, the spikes stab out whenever a lemming steps on the trap and it impales everyone caught walking over the trap.
Properties
Retractile spikes in both its dormant (left) and activated state (right). The trap hides another set of retractile spikes underneath.
- Retractile spike traps look very similar to normal destructible blocks but can still be identified by spotting the littered lemming skulls and bones left on top of the trap
- Because of their appearance, they can become difficult to spot when sandwiched between other blocks or when obscured by environmental obstacles like darkness
- Retractile spikes rarely appear alone in a level
- Builders are strangely invincible to the retractile spikes, being able to walk over the extended spikes while in the process of building stairs
- Damaging the trap to about 75% health will deactivate the trap entirely
- The trap can be safely excavated and destroyed from the sides
- The trap becomes completely inactive for a few seconds after the spikes retract, making it possible for a digger to excavate the trap from the top
- Using a Trap Disable booster on a retractile spikes trap will turn it into a normal destructible block
