40.3 Minotaur

Figures 40.20 and 40.21: Master Chickens are one of the two toughest opponents in this area. Minotaurs are the other. They’re really strong fighters on their own, but randomly (far too frequently) they’ll get in a critical hit, which does lots more damage!

Around here we find another great use for Far-sight Bracers. Once you start to get to levels where most any monster, handled improperly, can kill you, avoiding danger becomes very important.

Many of these monsters can be defeated, with difficulty, one-on-one, but are overpowering in groups, or if the player isn’t completely healed at the start. Since the player heals over time, a Far-sight Bracer can help Shiren stay clear of monsters until he’s ready to fight.

Figure 40.22: Push Staves also help somewhat. The monsters in Shiren don’t have any special ability to see over what the player normally has. It may seem like this is a minor thing, but it’s a useful fact to know when being chased.
