Dear all,

I've entered my second labyrinth after having dutifully killed
my first minotaur. Here: surprise: the middle square contains
a glass square and things inside -- I've tried to roam around
but no staircase anywhere (I'm not sure I have explored all
yet --).
Any idea as to what I should do ??
Best,
Amities,
Olivier

If you have a blink scroll + a teleport, you can get the items, and
get out of the small section afterwards

(Always remember you have to get OUT of that box. I have the problem
of focusing too hard on the task at hand, getting IN the room for the
loot).

Im not quite sure about 2 Labyrinths. Hopefully you are minotaur and
can map that place well? You DO know the secret to solving any maze
eventually, right?

Would be a very sad day if this is indeed a glitch, and there is no
exit. Good bug report though!

Good luck

I desintegrated the wall and got the four items.

I'm no minotaur but I've started to map the maze with hand and paper.
I know how to solve a maze without cycle but this one has cycles,
the central place where the minotaur usually is is this glassed
place (though the walls are not in iron, I haven't seen and iron
walls in all my wanderings).

I have regeneration +1, protection from heat +1, eating meat +1
as mutations. They are awesome, and I would like to continue!!!

Ugh. :) Precisely because players have been doing this, the labyrinths are
not static anymore. From time to time you get odd messages. These mean
that the labyrinth has just changed a bit.

No, not usually glassed place. What is important to know is that the outer
wall is metal, then come sections of rock, stone and (innermost) metal. I
guess we should explicitly state this somewhere.
Since you have a wand of disintegration, you can speed up the process by
using it in the rock area. Apart from that, I'd suggest to not use wall
hugging (left/right hand rule), but just stumble into the center.
By the way, don't teleport, unless you think you are seriously stuck.
Teleports will generally move you away from the minotaur.

Good luck!
