The Minotaur brings his mace over his shoulder and strikes at the player dealing Lightning and Physical Damage.
The Minotaur raises his mace over his head and slams the ground in a large area. This attack leaves an area on the ground where rocks will fall from the ceiling damaging the player with Physical Damage. The base duration of the falling rocks is 35 seconds. Try to overlap these slams to prevent them from taking up too much of the arena.
The Minotaur burrows underground, travels a short distance, and emerges dealing lethal amounts of Physical Damage.
