Conflux/Places/Minotaur Maze

Description

• This area is lit, so you don't need light a light source, which is convenient for a starting party.
  
• Poisonous Rock Monsters and a Minotaur live here.
  
• Map of the level.

How to get there

• Find the ladder up near the Rat generator in the Cellar.
• Find the secret passage from the Temple.
• There is a locked door in the Cellar, behind it are stairs to the Mildew Area. You can save the key for this door, however, if you burn down the door to the MIPS puzzle from the Minotaur's Maze side.

Interests

• There are six mirrors in this maze. Touching them with a Mirror of Dawn consumes your Mirror of Dawn, and makes an alcove appear instead where you find a new Mirror of Dawn along with another item. You can obtain a Magic Purse, a Monk Staff, a Moonstone necklace, bones, a golden GOR Coin, and a Gem of Ages necklace.
• You can find the Funereal Stormring at {0,20,21}, which must be unlocked by four spare Guild items.
• At {0,19,17} you can generate rocks needed for a puzzle nearby.
• There is a door which can be burnt with strong fireballs. Behind it you find the MIPS puzzle in the Mildew Area.
• Throw rocks into the teleporter at {0,22,14} and through the grate door at {0,19,13} until the adjacent removable walls vanish. This opens the path to another interesting area on this level:
  • The Giggler of All lives there.
  • Find Kath Vinegar there.
  • Find a compass there.

Connections

• The most obvious entry and exit is a ladder from the Cellar at {1,24,31}.
• There is a secret passage to the Temple's Pit of Ephesus at {0,19,20}.
• Through the burnable door at {0,29,15} where you find the MIPS puzzle area, the maze is connected with the Cellar at {1,31,4}. If you open up the path from this side by burning the door, you can save keys.
• Solving a puzzle opens up a way through a removable wall at {0,22,15}. The area beyond is connected to the Cellar at {1,18,2}, but cannot be opened from there. After opening, however, it can be used in both directions.
• A pit leads to the Sewers at {3,21,14} near the Temple stairs.
• A pit leads to the Sewers at {3,19,14} onto the Temple stairs.
