The world ofDragon’s Dogma 2is home to monsters and dangers swinging at you during the day or lurking in the shadow of the night. Having a full party will ensure you are up to the challenge thrown at you at any time of the day, such as when you are fighting sudden bosses like theone-eyed Cyclops,furious Ogres, and Minotaurs.
Minotaur is one of the early game’s toughest boss encounters. The regions connecting Vernworth with the Nameless Village and Harve Village are full of Cyclops, Ogres, and Minotaurs. This guide breaks down all the weaknesses of the Minotaur and how to beat easily.
How To Beat Minotaurs
TheMinotaur wields a large-sized axein his right hand and uses it in a couple of styles. He willslam the axe if the targetis in front of it and occasionally does aswiping attack to hit multiple targets.
His charged attack is anothercommon sight during this boss fight. TheMinotaur will charge like a bulland canhit multiple targetsbefore resting. you’re able to use this opportunity to stand near a giant rock or a wall, bait the Minotaur into hitting you, and dodge away at the last moment.
This action will give you enough opportunity todish out damage to the legs of the Minotaurand potentially makehim fall flat on the ground.
Climbing on thehead and dealing melee weapon damage is not recommendedfor the Minotaur boss fight. TheMinotaur will immediately try to buck off your characterand the thrashing will also hit the nearby party members.
You should only deal damage to the head when the Minotaur has fallen on the ground. Otherwise, thefrenzied kicks of the bosscan kill multiple party members quickly.
Minotaur Weakness
While most large-sized foes have the head as a weakness, the same is the case with the Minotaur. However, theMinotaur is an agile boss,swift in attacks and chargesat its targets. These parameters make it hard to dish out damage to the head consistently.
TheMinotaur is weak against the fireelemental damage. If you are using aSorcerer class characterorMage vocationin the game, considerequipping a fire spell to deal damage. You can also use the fire spell to buff the weapon of a melee class character in the party as well.
TheMinotaur’s legs are another weak spotthat you should consider dealing damage. TheThief, Warrior or Fighter class character can consistently deal damageto the legs. Enough damage to this part will tip off the balance of the Minotaur, giving you enough opportunity to deal damage to the head.
