A very powerful enemy, and the Baron's pet, the Minotaur will pulp any dungeon delvers foolish enough to ignore its master's warnings. If this icon HUD Minotaur 00 shows up at the beginning of a level, the Minotaur will appear in the spawn room after 2 minutes and 30 seconds and instantly barrel towards the nearest player. Locate the exit immediately and don't stray too far from it, unless you're certain you have what it takes to slay the beast.

There is a 50% chance for the Minotaur to appear on the 2nd and 3rd floors of each zone, and it will always spawn in the Minotaur Maze. It will never appear otherwise. It can show up multiple times in a playthrough, even if it's already been killed. After floor 25, its damage, health, and speed will increase substantially.

The ZAP Brigade has a chance of appearing on a Minotaur floor, where they will wait to do battle with it. They have a good chance to win with your help, but the Minotaur may switch focus to you, so don't get complacent. And be careful if your party includes any monsters, as the Brigadiers are all human. If you wish to take the glory for yourself, or the Brigade isn't pulling its weight, see below for some tips.

If you do manage to kill it (or the Brigade does it for you), the Minotaur drops an identified flawless diamond, worth 4000 gold.

Tips[]

  • The Minotaur will summon a cloud to cross chasms and liquids, so don't expect levitation cheese to work
  • It will break down any walls in its way; since it's two bricks tall, that includes the ceiling
  • It's immune to charm, like all bosses, as well as paralysis and sleep.
  • A slowing effect, like a Cold or Slow spell, can bring the Minotaur's speed down from "homicidal bullet train" to "reasonably kiteable"
  • Before floor 25, it can be reliably killed with 12 fire traps (16-18 on floors 25+). Craft them with a Tinkering Kit (Mechanists start with one!)
  • Shopkeepers are capable of slaying the Minotaur with ease. You shouldn't rely on this, however, as it will usually ignore them and promptly squash you

"Surely we have enough time to do a little more exploring." "Our might cannot be challenged, let us lie in wait for it."  "It may be large, but we are swift. It cannot kill what it cannot catch." "Sweateth not, the ZAP Brigade shall protect us." - The last words of various adventurers, uttered shortly before inexplicably transforming into a fine red mist.

Trivia[]

The Minotaur comes from the Greek myth of Theseus and the Minotaur. One of the Steam Achievements is "Theseus's Legacy". There's also a labyrinth bonus level, like in the story.
