Minotaurs are found on level one of the Stronghold of Security. They are also found in Turaels/Spria basement, however, the player must be on their Slayer Challenge in order to access it. They drop the right skull half, the first piece of the Skull sceptre. Many players train Ranged on these monsters, as they often drop iron arrows.

Minotaurs are commonly used for training for low and mid level players, but some times even high level ones, because they have low strength and defence. However, their accuracy can be a problem for long training sessions, especially if the player has a low defence level or uses insufficient protection. They do hit high for their level so be sure to bring food.

Setting up a dwarf cannon at Minotaurs can be a decent way to obtain an easy Clue Scroll.

Rare drop table dropsEdit

This monster drops items from the rare drop table.
The ring of wealth improves the chances if equipped but is not required to access the table.

TriviaEdit

• Strangely, Minotaurs cannot be damaged by a salamander's magic attacks.
• Their max hit exceeds that of the next monster that drops a piece of the Skull sceptre, the Flesh Crawler.
• When a player defeats a minotaur the drop will always appear next to the player. This is unique.
• The minotaur is one of the few NPC's that has not received a graphical update for several years.
• Minotaurs often retreat at low health.
