Learn how to set up Dungeon Magnetic Walls Vaulted for modular dungeon builds. Step-by-step assembly tips, magnetic accessory placement, and common mistakes to avoid.

Quick answer

Set up Dungeon Magnetic Walls Vaulted by aligning the hidden metal plates with your magnetic accessories, then secure them in place. Use the unique corner sculpts to create seamless transitions and surprise your players with hidden traps or decor.

Why Magnetic Walls Change Your Build

The Dungeon Magnetic Walls Vaulted set is designed to look identical to regular walls, so you can integrate them into your modular dungeon without breaking the visual flow. The hidden metal plates let you attach magnetic accessories during play, adding an element of surprise or dynamic storytelling.

Because the magnetic corners have a unique sculpt, they serve a specific purpose: they allow you to place accessories on corners that would otherwise be hard to reach. This makes them ideal for creating ambushes or environmental hazards that players won't see coming.

What to Know Before You Start

Before you begin, ensure you have the right accessories. The walls are unpainted, so you may want to paint them to match your existing terrain. However, painting doesn't affect the magnetic function, so you can do it before or after assembly.

The metal plates are hidden beneath the front face, so you won't see them. This means you need to test the placement of your magnetic accessories beforehand to know exactly where they will stick. This is especially important for traps that need to be triggered at a specific spot.

Step-by-Step Setup Guide

  1. Plan Your Build Layout: Before placing any walls, decide where you want to add magnetic accessories. Identify the walls and corners that will serve as focal points for traps or decor. This helps you position the magnetic walls strategically. Common mistake: placing magnetic walls randomly, which can limit your ability to attach accessories where you need them.
  2. Position the Magnetic Walls: Place the magnetic walls in your layout just like regular walls. Because they look identical, you can mix them with standard walls without breaking the visual continuity. Ensure the front face (with the hidden plate) is oriented toward the play area. Checkpoint: Verify that the wall's front face is facing the players, not the outside of the build, so accessories are accessible.
  3. Attach Magnetic Accessories: Once the walls are in place, attach your magnetic accessories (such as traps, torches, or other decor) to the hidden plates. Test the placement by gently pressing the accessory against the wall. It should hold firmly without sliding. Common mistake: Forgetting to test the accessory's position before finalizing the build, which can lead to misaligned traps or decor.
  4. Utilize Magnetic Corners: Use the unique magnetic corners to place accessories on corner positions. This is especially useful for creating ambushes or environmental effects that players might not expect. Attach accessories the same way as on flat walls. Checkpoint: Ensure the corner accessory doesn't obstruct movement or line of sight, as corners are high-traffic areas.
  5. Adjust and Surprise: During play, you can remove or add accessories to the magnetic walls without disrupting the build. This allows you to spring surprises on your players, such as revealing a hidden trap or changing the environment dynamically. Common mistake: Overusing magnetic walls can make the build feel gimmicky; use them sparingly for maximum effect.
