Trap Is the Only Option	comment	When the heroes consciously recognize a trap when they see one, but elect to walk into it anyway. The reasons for this vary. Sometimes, it's because one of the hero's True Companions or a Love Interest is being held hostage, and the hero can't turn his back on them. Sometimes it's because the heroes need a lead to the villain's plot and taking the bait is the only way. Sometimes the heroes may be after the ones springing said trap, thus the trap gets them closer. Other times, proceeding may literally be the only option, e.g. it's the only way out of the maze they're in. Perhaps the heroes have an idea of what's in store for them, and the makings of a plan. Or maybe it's just because the hero enjoys a challenge. In any case, the choice is made: trap or no trap, it's their only chance. It doesn't always work. Sometimes it turns out there's little discernible difference between having sprung the trap on purpose and in having walked into it accidentally. Heroes have walked into their doom in the invocation of this trope. But it can pay off. Three types of heroes have been especially known to succeed: The kind that can think like a Chessmaster and use some critical piece of knowledge of the plan to foil the villain's aims while apparently "falling" into their trap, the kind that is a master of thinking on their feet and making things up as they go along, and the kind that is simply far too tough and/or far too stubborn to be stopped by such petty trickery. In this case, the trap-layer may well end up Bullying a Dragon - in the worst-case scenario, their failed trap might have done nothing more than struck a nerve and made the hero decide that It's Personal. Video Games may sidestep any logical rationale at all for walking into a trap, leaving Stupidity as the Only Option. The characters are controlled by you, and YOU are electing to walk into the trap because it's the only way to progress the game. But the in-story reason for this happening is as likely to be that the characters simply are dumb enough to fall for obvious Schmuck Bait, rather than having consciously realized the nature of the trap. If no rationale is given, the trap-springing falls under Stupidity Is the Only Option rather than this trope. Only if the characters in the game itself recognize that it is a trap, and supply a reason for tripping it deliberately, is this trope being invoked as well. Compare Schmuck Bait. See also Kansas City Shuffle which is built upon this trope: The con relies on the mark knowing there's a con but underestimating it. Contrast Lured into a Trap, where the heroes never realized it was a trap until it was too late.

They immediately realize it's a trap and start walking away, commenting on how if they did step through, they'd probably be sealed inside and forced to fight gladiator ghosts for the Fight King's amusement...and they think this is "flipping AWESOME" and thus they run back in.

Trap Is the Only Option / int_135f4195	comment	Dune: When Paul Atreides tells his father Leto that their being given Arrakis was possibly a trap, Leto replies with the classic line "knowing there is a trap is the first step in evading it." Leto got killed before the book was half-over. Nice Job Evading It, Hero. Leto does raise the good point to Paul that an obvious trap has the benefit of being obvious. If they dodge that one, the next attempt — and there will be one — might be cleverer and catch them totally off-guard. Instead, he's choosing to walk in eyes open and immediately start taking steps to disarm the trap. It nearly works, too; Leto and Thufir's mistake, aside from being tricked by a Red Herring, was underestimating the scale of the trap. When the trap was sprung, their enemies sent ten legions of soldiers supported by an entire legion of the Emperor's elite Sardaukar. Thufir was completely blindsided by how badly the Atreides' enemies wanted them dead, and how much expense they were willing to endure to make that happen. They had presumed that House Atreides' popularity in the Landsraad (many of the smaller houses were rallied behind Atreides) would make the Emperor hesitate to move against them. Instead, the great deal of support enjoyed by House Atreides and the Duke in particular made them entirely too dangerous for the Emperor to ignore.

He does this by sending Ranma a letter telling him to show up at a particular location if he ever wants to see Akane again...while Akane's standing right next to Ranma and reading the letter too. He then does a hilariously poor impersonation of being the kidnapped Akane (once again, while Akane's right next to Ranma) when Ranma shows up at the designated location. Ranma still goes along with it because he just wants to know what the hell this weirdo is up to.

Trap Is the Only Option / int_2ffcbd43	comment	Fire Emblem: A weird case in Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War, where the ending of Chapter 5 is a case of It Was His Sled. Players who know what will happen at the end are still required to trigger it to proceed with the story line. Said trap? Arvis inviting Sigurd to clear his name only to execute him with Valflame while ordering your entire army to be wiped with Meteors. In Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, one chapter has the Begnion army bring civilians to a swamp to be executed en masse. Everyone, from Smug Snake Izuka to Cool Old Guy Tauroneo, tells The Hero Micaiah that it's a trap, but she elects to go in anyway. When she inevitably emerges victorious, the knowledge that she willingly walked into a trap to protect the innocent is a major morale boost for the liberation army. In Fire Emblem: Awakening, after the Valm arc, the protagonists have only one gemstone left to obtain before the Fire Emblem is complete. At that point, Validar invites the protagonists to meet with him, and Chrom and the Avatar know he's up to no good, but also know he has the last gemstone (or at least knows where it is), so they don't have any choice, with the Avatar scoping out escape routes on the way in. The trap springs, and the protagonists escape, but Validar activates his control over the Avatar, forcing him/her to hand over the Fire Emblem. In Fire Emblem: Three Houses, when the Knights of Seiros locate Jeralt's murderer, Rhea tries to dissuade the Player Character from going after them for the sake of revenge, recognizing it as an obvious trap. Your house's chosen lord argues that it's better to send a small scouting party who's dealt with them before than sending out all of the Knights of Seiros after the murderer and leaving the monastery open to another attack. The trap isn't triggered by the murderer, but by her boss, who was using her as bait for his own gambit.

Trap Is the Only Option / int_45599333	comment	Tower of God In "Hell Train: The Name Hunt Station", when Bam is fighting Kaiser, he sees that she's deliberately leaving him only one open path to attack and recognises it must be a trap. Eventually, he goes for it anyway since there's really no other option. She promptly uses her special teleportation ability to catch him from behind. In "Hell Train: Wangnan", in an inverse of the usual case, Hoaqin (who is a villain and has the upper hand, hence the reversal) chooses to accept Prince and Miseng's offer to serve him because he thinks that, trap or no, he can use them to play against his own "allies". And it turns out his real plan is to reverse the trap to catch all his enemies on the train at once. In "Hell Train: The Floor of Death," Hell Joe makes a false announcement that the has the McGuffin the protagonists are looking for and tells them to come attack his castle to get it. Someone pretty much immediately says it's probably a trap, but that it's better to go anyway. Laboriously averted in "Hell Train: The Hidden Floor" when Khun is sure that the Boss Fightnote the Hidden Floor is a video game parody, so the trope applies that's too easy is really a trick; he stops the others from starting it and just stands there arguing for a long time. He's right in that, first, winning the fight would send some of his other friends to their doom, and second, that there is a more difficult boss monster waiting hidden with the easy one, although it's not clear that one was going to be used if they'd just gone ahead and fought.

The fact that if they leave without anything their mission is a complete failure means they continue anyway, which turns out poorly for them. In "The Lost One", the Jedi Council discovers that the Sith were involved in the creation of the Republic's Clone Army. However, given that they are now in a full-scale war, and knowing that anything the Sith have done with the clones is not their fault, they have no choice but to continue using the clones and hope that they can win the war before the Sith enact their endgame.

Trap Is the Only Option / int_5755b96a	comment	The Order of the Stick: In strip 340, The Order goes to where Nale is holding Roy's sister Julia hostage to get at Elan. Roy's plan is to head into the warehouse alone, while the rest of the Order hides at various watching points. Roy figures that Nale will indulge in some Evil Gloating and leave himself open to a beat down. "If I show up, he'll want to explain exactly how he beat me. Then we beat the crap out of him." It goes a bit lopsided because Nale's plan is more nuanced and intricate than they were expecting. A very odd version crops up during the "Don't Split the Party" arc. Elan, being Genre Savvy, insists that they stay caught in a net trap, stating that even if they easily escape there will be something that captures them anyway or else the first trap wouldn't have even been shown and it's probably the least painful way of going about it to just be captured by the simple net. Daigo and Durkon ignore him, press on while Elan stays under the net, and are beaten bloody and captured by orcs while Elan stays unharmed under the net. Elan admits he's having to seriously resist an I Told You So as they're all being dragged off. In "No Strings", Elan is lured away from the party by his lute moved through telekinesis, and while no longer fool enough to fall for it, is charmed into following anyway. The rest of the Order are perfectly aware this is an obvious trap, but refuse to let the party be split again, since they had very bad experiences about it, so they rush alongside to rescue Elan.

Spock decides to go through with the meeting, saying that if there is a ploy afoot, he needs to play along to find out what's going on.

Fully aware that this may be a trap, Voyager goes in with a battle plan that almost succeeds—except that Seska has an even better plan that leads to the Kazon capturing the ship and marooning the crew on an alien planet. And just to drive the knife farther in, it turns out that the baby really isn't Chakotay's.

Even though Sonic knows it's a trap (he even informs the viewers of it)), he willingly falls for it in the hope of finding Tails. In Sonic Underground, in the episode, "Wedding Bell Blues," the hedgehogs know Robotnik's wedding to Queen Aleena is a trap, but fall into it anyway on the off-chance Aleena is actually there. In another episode of the same series, in a call back to a Sonic the Hedgehog (SatAM) plot, Robotnik challenges Sonic to a race. Sonia and Manic, figuring Sonic couldn't resist, show up to try and rescue him... except he knew it was a trap and didn't show, and they have to be rescued.

Trap Is the Only Option / int_b5f2ea65	comment	Towards the end of The Fate of Paul Twister, Paul and Aylwyn come across a clue that looks suspiciously like a Treasure Map designed specifically to lure Paul in, most likely a trap set by a manipulative dragon. Paul asks Aylwyn to come along as backup, and when she points out that it's almost certainly a trap, he says he knows, but the dragon is persistent and it's better to walk into a trap he sees coming than to possibly get blindsided by the next one.

In "The Pyramid at the End of the World", the Doctor and the local military commanders are invited inside said pyramid to negotiate terms.

They don't trust her, believing it to be a trap, but accept the risk anyways because it could get them more allies. It turns out it was a trap, all right, but not the obvious one: it was set for her, not by her, in an attempt to ensnare both parties. "Hera's Heroes": Hera and Ezra are captured by Imperials during an attempt to retrieve a family heirloom from the Syndulla home. The rebels are contacted and told that if Hera's father Cham gives himself up, Hera and Ezra will be released. Everyone realizes that this is a trap, but Cham sees his daughter's life as worth the sacrifice and trusts the Ghost crew to work the situation to get her out. Fortunately, Hera's already formulated her own escape plan. "Iron Squadron": After Commander Sato's stubborn nephew Mart is left stranded in orbit above Mykapo in his disabled ship as the rebels are forced to leave, they promise to come back. When they do, it's obvious to them all that Admiral Konstantine has set a trap involving planting a mine on Mart's ship and letting him transmit a partial distress signal.

Trap Is the Only Option / int_ef076a36	comment	The Star Trek: Voyager episode "Basics" starts with Voyager receiving a Distress Call from traitorous ex-crewmate Seska, who had earlier stolen Chakotay's DNA to impregnate herself; her call says that Kazon Maje Culluh (whom she left Voyager for) is furious that Seska's newborn baby is half-human and not half-Kazon. Our heroes are reluctant to embark on a rescue mission, especially Chakotay, until a Vision Quest with his deceased father convinces him otherwise. Fully aware that this may be a trap, Voyager goes in with a battle plan that almost succeeds—except that Seska has an even better plan that leads to the Kazon capturing the ship and marooning the crew on an alien planet. And just to drive the knife farther in, it turns out that the baby really isn't Chakotay's.

Trap Is the Only Option / int_f10a65b	comment	In Legends of Tomorrow "Turncoat"; the Legends detect a massive Time Quake which they trace back to George Washington being assassinated shortly before the Battle of Trenton. They immediately conclude that this a trap set by the Legion of Doom (having fallen for a similar trap in an earlier episode), but point out this is too large a change to the timeline to ignore.

Trap Is the Only Option / int_f691fa67	comment	Secrets in Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft trigger the moment a condition is fulfilled, e.g. attacking with a minion. As long as the condition is right, the Secret will not discriminate what gets affected; i.e. a Noble Sacrifice will still trigger when a 1/1 is attacking, wasting the Secret on an expendable minion. Thus, when confronted with them, the trick not only becomes successfully guessing what Secret is used, but also being able to trigger the Secret with minimal loss.

Everyone, from Smug Snake Izuka to Cool Old Guy Tauroneo, tells The Hero Micaiah that it's a trap, but she elects to go in anyway. When she inevitably emerges victorious, the knowledge that she willingly walked into a trap to protect the innocent is a major morale boost for the liberation army.

Trap Is the Only Option / int_fd8ef85e	comment	In The Sacrifice campaign in Left 4 Dead, the survivors come across a wrecked train blocking their path and the only way through is to open the car door and open the other door on the other side. The car contains a Tank and the survivors can clearly hear it grunting and roaring inside, but they know they have to free it in order to move on and releasing the Tank also summons a horde of zombies on you. Don't think you can try to outrun the Tank and then open the other door to escape. The dev team is onto you.

Trap Is the Only Option / int_ff9ab17f	comment	Star Trek: The Next Generation: In "The Defector", the Enterprise finds a Romulan defector who says he has information about a top-secret Romulan base on Nelvana III within the Neutral Zone. Picard and his crew know that they're likely being Lured into a Trap, but they go in anyway - with some Klingon backup for when things go south. In the two part-episode "Unification", Ambassador Spock is invited by the Romulan Proconsul to discuss Vulcan/Romulan reunification. The Proconsul comes across as too eager, leading to some suspicion that it's part of a Romulan ploy. Spock decides to go through with the meeting, saying that if there is a ploy afoot, he needs to play along to find out what's going on. He turns out to be right—the Proconsul is working with Commander Sela on a plot to conquer Vulcan.
