Minotaur Boss Mechanics

The Minotaur is a **multi-style boss** that uses **Melee**, **Magic**, and **Ranged** attacks. It is aggressive, fast-hitting, and requires careful attention to protection prayers and positioning.

🧠 Mechanics Overview

The Minotaur cycles through different combat styles. It chooses attacks randomly and hits hard, making prayer management crucial throughout the fight.

⚔️ Attack Styles

Style Description Prayer Advice
Melee Primary attack. Hits up to 30 damage. Often used. Use Protect from Melee
Magic Casts a high-damage spell. Can be reduced with Protect from Magic
Ranged Fires a quick projectile attack. Use Protect from Ranged

🔁 Attack Behavior

  • The Minotaur is always in **multi-attack mode**, hitting all players in range — though the instance is solo-only.
  • **Attack frequency** varies:
 * Melee: every 6 ticks
 * Magic: 25% chance to cast
 * Ranged: 50% chance to fire between other attacks
  • It ignores normal projectile clipping — expect attacks even when behind cover.

🧱 Special Attributes

  • Does **not flinch** (no block animation when hit).
  • Switches styles **randomly** during combat.
  • Deals **consistent pressure** — always stay alert with prayers and food.

🛡️ Tips for Fighting the Minotaur

  • Bring high-defense gear with **Magic and Ranged resistance**.
  • Keep **Protect from Melee** active unless it clearly switches styles.
  • Use food wisely — damage can spike quickly due to multi-style aggression.
  • Be prepared for sustained damage over time due to frequent attack cycling.
