Meraktus & The 4 Tormented Minotaurs (Labyrinth)

[TrailMyx]

I killed Cerveza's miner the other day, where does TM roam, he's next on the list...?

Sorry, I mine and travel in Trammel.  Jerks like you forced me back to carebear land long ago...

TM's a lover not a fighter!

spawn seems to be broken today. worked TOO well last night. Spawn density never stopped once I summoned merkatus. Man was that tough. Now, it never peaks. Getting message that spawn is working, but no visible spawn progression. boo

[Ultima]

Whatcha mean stopped?

Minotaurs continuing to spawn all over after Meraktus has been summoned is normal.

It doesn't matter where in the Labyrinth you are...even at the entrance and the surrounding area by Miasma you can advance the spawn.  

What you need to do is kill the Minotaurs that are spawning in other parts of the Labyrinth.

I've had issues with none spawning towards the back and was forced to flush them out and kill them in more hazardous areas. Once I did that they started respawning in the back again.

I'm not sure what dictates where they spawn..sometimes you can walk in the entrance and there are no Minotaurs even though no one has been there. Other times you can walk into the Labyrinth and your surrounded by a small army inside the entrance.

yup, that's what I figured out too. Any sampire tips for tormented? I got through them, but died a few times.

Talisman of Tormented Minotaur Protection +50-60% will help your cause!

Also you don't want to be fighting against a Tormented Minotaur and then have another player jump in and attack at the same time. The Tormented Minotaurs' special attack (Ground N Pound Area Attack) damage output seems to be based on the number of people attacking it.

As soon as someone else joins in the fight your treading dangerous ground and more than likely the Ground and Pound attack will 1 hit kill everything in it's radius.

gotta got me one of those talismans. Got a 60% yamadon the other day, so hopefully one will come my way soon. Thanks for the thread and tips Ultima.

[Ultima]

Nice!

I have a +60% Yamadon Protection as well I've been wanting to throw that on and go take one on a Yamadon but I haven't done that lately. Yamadon's are nasty buggers...

C2 still has us all beat with his +60% Meraktus Protection Talisman! I've been trying now for about a year to get it off of him but he keeps misplacing it and forgetting to transfer it over.

gonna try leafblade of ease and curse wep tonight, see how that works out

[Ultima]

Post your results with your leafblade....

Even with the Meraktus +59% Protection Talisman I have he managed to drop me which was suprising to me.  I had Meraktus redlined and it was easy sailing all the way through until I got to the last sliver. I thought I was home free but somehow Meraktus  managed to dump me on my head. Goes to show just how devasting their specials can be even with a high Protection Talisman.

 ;Dwelll, if you let me BORROW it, i will let you know if there is a difference on my shard 

[Ultima]

I can't find mine either for some reason. See if C2 ever ended up finding his...

 

[baldielocks]

if anyone is on atlantic, there is a 55% tormented talisman for 500K on searchuo

[Ultima]

Yep that's my vendor!
