  • High health but modest damage — outlast it or kite while chipping it down.

Minotarchos — Detailed Guide

The Minotarchos is the Labyrinth miniboss of Astraeos in ASA, a larger Minotaur with golden chains. It cannot be tamed, ridden or bred. It matters because killing it is the only way to get the Artifact of the Strong on Astraeos, which you need before fighting Hydraskos.

Where to find it

Deep inside the Labyrinth cave on Astraeos.

How to get one

It is summoned with 2 Corrupt Hearts, 25 Corrupted Nodules, 5 Lightning Talons, 25 Megalodon Teeth and 10 Thylacoleo Hook-Claws.

Uses

Each kill gives a guaranteed Artifact of the Strong and 30 Element.

Tips

  • No retreat: a barrier blocks the exit and cryopods cannot be deployed inside, so bring your full team in.
  • Weakness: it hits fast and hard but has moderate health and is weak to fire.
  • Team: boosted Deinosuchus or high-level Therizinosaurs are good picks.
