How to craft a bear trap in Hytale
Progress your crafting until you unlock a Tier 2 workbench.

Mine iron ore and smelt it into iron ingots. Open the Tier 2 workbench crafting menu.

Use 3 iron ingots to craft a bear trap.

Once crafted, the trap can be placed directly from your inventory.
How to place and use a bear trap
Select the bear trap in your hotbar. Right-click to place it on the ground in your chosen location.

Wait for an animal or monster to step onto the trap. When triggered, the target will be pinned in place for a short duration.

Be careful while positioning traps, as you can trigger them yourself if you walk over them.
Resetting and picking up bear traps
If a trap has been triggered, approach it. Press F to reset the sprung trap.

If you want to remove it, hit the trap with your left mouse button. The trap will return to your inventory and can be reused immediately.
Enemy behavior while trapped
Trapped enemies are immobilized but not completely harmless:
- Melee enemies may struggle until they break free
- Ranged enemies can still attack you or the trap
- Some monsters will focus on destroying the trap itself
For best results, place traps where enemies have limited line of sight or combine them with terrain advantages.
