No minotaurs
Hi, guys! I beat the Labyrinth on a free non-Steam version yesterday, because the game doesn´t launch on Steam anymore. I´m just curious why I didn´t encounter a single minotaur. I believe I also only heard 2 chimes going off. Do I play a bugged version? There were countless minotaurs on the PS1 PAL version and all the chimes went off.

hmmm so I got the same issue. I only see 2 minos in Labyrinth: 1 near the dumb rockets trap and the other one at the exit of Laby.

I have a theory that if you save and restart while the chimes are still going off, the bug happens and you never get the promised mino onslaught once you load the game. I should use my save file to check this back.

Kinda sad really because the level is somewhat easy without any minos. You end up stacking a lot of resources and the most interesting level turns out pretty bland after that bug

Thanks for your reply! You´re getting the same on the Steam version?
Okay. Did you test your theory or get rid of the bug in any way?

Well, I still had a lot of fun with the level. I still found it decently challenging. The majority of the game isn´t that hard for me, but it´s hard enough to still be fun. I felt like I accomplished something special when I beat the PS1 version as a teen, but I´d say anyone seriously trying and not giving up can beat it. Well, I´m still just past the Pit on the PC version. So I´m curious if this version of the game can still get me stuck.

I tried and YES, the map can bug once you save a few times and restart the game. I tried other run and waited the minos to be released before saving and the map worked as properly.

I had fun too figuring out stuff (managed to finish this map with rockets shooting) but it felt a bit flat in the last half, honestly. Had a bunch of stacked items waiting some minos that never showed up... I also did not deactivated the rocket trap so the game got a bit painful due to explosion area of damage trespassing other floors, lol

I see. So it´s okay to save after the 1st chime, but I can´t die before all the chimes have gone off, I guess. A nice challenge. I feel like I have to redo this level, then. There´s also that glitch where my coin number remains the same as before saving at a red save point when I reload there. I don´t accept mercy from the game like that, meaning I resave when I have to reload and my coins have come back. Have you discovered any other bugs or glitches which make the game easier than it was intended?

Oh, I´m constantly so stacked up on items that there are a lot in the levels I can´t pick up because of the limits. I never thought as a teen that I´d end up not needing most of my extra resources to progress. Now, even in the PC version using a keyboard.

Yeah, those rockets exploding can damage you even when you think you´re way out of their reach. I didn´t want to put up with it, because I play the game as cautiously as I can. It´s a deadly dungeon full of traps where the odds of survival are supposed to be stacked against me. I struggled quite a bit as a kid and teenager.
