How to Beat the Minotaur

How to Beat the Minotaur


Strike the Head While its Charging to Knock it Down

Dragon

You can hit the Minotaur's head while it's charging to topple it. This strategy is best used as an Archer, as you can manually aim and shoot at the head using a bow from a safe distance.

If you are using Melee-based vocations, you can just go near it and strike the head at close-range. However, this requires precise timing, as failing to hit it at the exact moment that it's charging may cause you to take a lethal blow from it.

Focus Your Attacks on the Head When its Down

The Minotaur's main weakness is the head and you can freely deal a huge amount of damage to it by focusing all your attacks on the head while it's knocked down.

Destroy the Horns to Stun it

Destroying the Minotaur's horns will briefly stun it, giving you an ample amount of time to land some free hits and execute some neat weapon skill combos to damage it.

Use Ice Elemental Attacks

The Minotaur is also weak to the element of ice. Magick Archers can use the Frostseeker Bolt skill on the head to deal a tremendous amount of damage to it and possibly ending the fight early.
