Thereâs one more mob between us and the Level 3 boss. In keeping with the Grecian theme a high level minotaur awaits us in the maze. During my first run through the dungeon on my own Iâd mostly just used the real-life theory of always going left. It hadnât gotten me anywhere because the maze walls were magical, and I kept getting lost by accidentally passing through fake portions. Not wanting to spend all night chasing my tail this time around, Iâd looked up a map and shared it with the party.
âIâve got the map open so we donât get lost,â Spyce comments.
âGood,â I reply, still feeling confident from the way the team gelled in finishing off the harpies. âKeep in mind the minotaur roams the entire maze. But it wonât be alone. Along the way weâll be dealing with a variety of randomly spawning mobs. I remember cobras, more boars, and a giant centipede thing.â
âMilli-stingers,â Spyce adds helpfully. âDonât forget the satyrs. They arenât all that big but they have dark fireballs and carry a flute of some kind that has a chance to cause confusion in players. The animation you get is akin to being really drunkâthe screen gets all blurry and wavy.â
I nod, remembering. âThatâs right. There are nymphs, too. They can trip you up with the vines growing around the walls. If you arenât careful, theyâll even pull you into the maze.â
âThis sounds like it should be the boss,â Rose murmurs.
âDo not fear, fair Rose. Verily, I believe we will overcome this new challenge.â For some reason itâs comforting to hear Stoneburner when heâs in character like this.
âHeâs right,â I say to her. âAs long as we stick together and stay sharp, it will be achievable.â
When everyone is ready, I step into the maze.
Spyce says that there are two route options. One involves running into the max number of mobs, plus whatever random stuff comes up but has a lesser chance of hitting the minotaur. The other involves going straight for the minotaur and then dealing with whatever random mobs may come before reaching the boss at the middle of the labyrinth.
âWhatever we choose, we need to do it quick,â she says. âOtherwise the minotaur will potentially roam far enough that even if we take the direct route, weâll miss him and then have to retrace our steps.â
âLetâs take down the minotaur first,â I say. âHeâs tough and the last thing we want is to be caught up in a fight with a big spawn only for him to show up and start dealing damage.â
No one objects and so Spyce leads us on that course. âLeft here then right, straight through the next three intersections and another left.â
We begin to move through the maze. The thing about this area is that the quarters are really tight. Just wide enough for two of us to travel side-by-side. Because of this, we order ourselves with Dirk in the lead followed by Stoneburner, then Nogg auto-trailing, then Rose and finally Spyce.
