Titan Quest 2 Tauros Boss Guide

Tauros, Ancient Minoan King serves as the Optional Boss of Moirai Temple in Titan Quest 2. See the locations, reward drops, and tips on how to beat Tauros here.

Tauros Location

How to Locate Tauros
1 Trigger the Door
As you explore Moirai Temple you will encounter a statue that can be interacted with. Defeat the enemies surrounding the statue, then activate it to open a secret crypt door nearby.
2 Trigger the Switch
Head further northwards into the crypt until you reach a ledge with an interactable fireplace. Trigger that fireplace to switch a bridge that is visible to your north.
3 Trigger the Boss Fight
Head and cross the bridge to reach an island further west. Once you go down the stairs the area will lock down and you will automatically trigger the boss fight with Tauros.

How to Beat Tauros

Tips on Beating Tauros



Take Down the Elemental Mages First

Tauros will summon three elemental mages that will assist in the fight. Prioritize taking them out first as they will make the already cramped boss arena more complicated with multiple attacks flying against you.

Preferably, take down the Ice Mage first as they have a chance of Freezing you in place, making you vulnerable to more attacks. Take the Lightning Mage second to avoid getting Shocked then deal with the the Fire Mage last.

Increase Elemental Resistances

Titan Quest 2 Elemental Resistances
To help with the mages' elemental attacks, get equipment that improves your Elemental Resistances, prioritizing Cold, Lightning and Fire Resistance as these are the elements of the mages attacking you in this fight.

Avoid Tauros' Earth Stomp Attack

Tauros has one AoE attack, which is basically an Earth Stomp that deals quite a bit of damage if you get hit. There will be a green area which will be your tell where the stomp will be then dodge after seeing the tell.

Keep Moving and Use Barrier

Limited Movement
Tauros' boss fight arena is is extremely cramped for space and we advise you to stay mobile as much as you can while dealing damage and keeping Barrier active as much as possible to tank hits. Save at least one dash for emergency situations so you can get out of areas where you may get stuck.
