Appearances
7-1

The Minotaur is the seventh Demon-type enemy players fight, and the boss of 7-1: Garden of Forking Paths.
It is a grotesque bull made of flesh and an external shell, similar to the Hideous Mass. The Minotaur has a bull head wrapped by a shell in the shape of a large hand, on its exposed belly are what appear to be a set of teeth. The Minotaur has three pairs of limbs; two humanoid hind legs, two forelegs which resemble those of a bull, and a pair of humanoid arms. Its left arm, which it uses to wield a hammer with a head similar to the Flesh Panopticon, splits into two separate hands.

Behaviour

The Minotaur behaves very differently between its two phases, given that they take place in different arenas and circumstances. Despite this, the Minotaur uses a variety of area-denial and rush-down attacks to keep V1 on it's toes.

Phase 1

The Minotaur will chase down V1 while it rides a line of 3 tram carts. During this phase, the Minotaur will attempt to hit V1 with its hand and hammer, as well as covering carts with acid or completely destroying them with it's hammer. Upon clearing the Minotaur's health bar in this phase, it will let out a yelp of pain and collapse onto the track.

Phase 2

The Minotaur returns to phase 2 with a broken exterior shell, revealing more flesh underneath it's armor. The Minotaur utilizes more area-denial attacks like acid and explosions in this phase, as well as rush down attacks like its four-swing combo and stampede.

While not attacking, the Minotaur will cover its face weak point with its hand, making it invulnerable to damage.

Attacks

Phase 1

Arm Swing Combo

The Minotaur will swing it's arm multiple times while moving back and forth across the trams.

Swing N' Smash

The Minotaur will roar, swing it's hammer once, and then destroy a tram.

The tram will be missing for a short while, before a new one arrives carrying with it a lone Stray, useful for easier healing.

Acid Splash

The Minotaur will rummage around in it's chest and pull out a glob of acid, then splash it onto one of the trams.

This acid will linger for a long period before dissipating.

Back Scratch

If the player is riding the Minotaur's back, it will scratch, dealing 25 damage.

Phase 2

Stampede
The Minotaur will charge at its target, dealing 50 damage on hit. If it misses the target and hits a wall instead, the Minotaur will take 6 damage.
This attack can be parried, knocking the Minotaur back and stunning it for a short duration.

Four-Swing Combo
The Minotaur will swing its hammer four times, each hit dealing 25 damage.
Every swing is horizontal except the third, which is vertical.

Two-Explosion Combo
The Minotaur will first slam its hammer into the ground, creating an explosion that deals 35 damage. Next, it will pull the hammer out, creating a super explosion also dealing 35 damage.

Acid Splash
The Minotaur will dig into its chest, then pull out an acid bomb and throw it to the floor, creating a puddle of acid that deals 15 damage per tick.

Acid Bomb
The Minotaur will dig into its chest, then pull out an acid bomb and crush it in the air, creating a cloud of acid that deals 15 damage per tick.

The Minotaur, one of the oldest known surviving demons, was sculpted by ████ ██████ as a gift for the then Judge of Hell, Minos, in an attempt to form some kind of rapport.

Though its creator considered it beautiful, a personalized monument of death and despair, Minos was terrified of the grotesque caricature of his past mistakes and cast it into the Garden of Forking Paths, hoping it would never be seen again.

Now the Minotaur is old and its body failing, falling apart, running blind through the labyrinth in a desperate attempt to break out. Its only desire: to see the sky for one last time.

STRATEGY: - Although difficult to heal from due to its distance, it is best to be patient. New trams will often arrive, carrying weaker foes for easier healing.

- Much of its body is protected, but its guts are exposed, making for an easy consistent target.
