<![CDATA[Stupidest obstacles?]]>What do you people think were the stupidest/most hilarious/ most-unbelievably-easy-to-get-past enemies or obstacles in the Dungeon? I've got series 8 on at the moment (bit of a culture shock after seeing 2 and 4!) and I can't believe how unscary those snapdragons are. "If they get a grip, it's fatal." Treguard was saying. Er - fatal glovepuppets?

Its Beer. With No Alcohol. But It Does. Kinda. - Ingenius ideas by Barry's team, although you can kinda believe that would happen with Sly anyway! - General pathetic obstacle were Trolls. Too Slow, and if need be you could become invisible(S7)

Too many teams were given a second chance and then there was that team with the causeway timing... Things like that seriously lessened my enjoyment of Series 5

The time Oakley let the team past for seeming truthful...Not exactly on obstacle at all but an odd moment, for sure.

As was the time when Gwen let that team through despite the fact the botched all her questions. Just because they had her token, I think the reserve team may not have arrived on that one!

I suggest a water cavern. Like Cliff's quest Series 3, you have to drain the water to reveal an exit by getting a certain puzzle right...

Probably a symbol!

In any case, if we're to take simiano's logic to its natural conclusion, we have to assume that around 80% of the puzzles and obstacles in Knightmare were stupid. If the definition of a stupid puzzle is one that never killed off or even harmed a dungeoneer, then most of the puzzles in the history of the series were rubbish.

I don't think anyone would agree with that, surely?

Nice concept, yet flawed.

the scorpion was pretty stupid idea methinks did anyone die or at last take life force damage with that

Speak for yourself simiano.

That thing gave me the creeps.

The enemy bishop was restricted to black squares only (I think at least 1 of the teams noticed this).

In theory, it is possible to be captured but only the stupid teams would be caught, which didn't happen.

Another famous but survivable obstacle are the notorius 'bomb rooms'. The team don't panic = the team surviving. You dawdle, you dead. Not exactly the most brain-draining of hazards.

As anyone knows, in Chess you can't capture a King with one piece, so how can a dungeoneer with the knight's move be caught by a bishop?
