	[[File:Labyrinth portal.png]] The '''Labyrinth''' is a temporary sub-[[branch]] containing an elaborate maze that takes up an entire floor. Getting lost and starving to death is a very real possibility for characters who enter without sufficient provisions, and even if you manage to find the exit at its center, a [[minotaur (monster)\|minotaur]] guards it fiercely. Labyrinth entrances may occur in [[the Lair]] or on floors in the middle portions of [[the Dungeon]], but are not guaranteed to generate in every game. If you hear the "ticking of a distant clock" or a "distant snort," your floor contains a Labyrinth portal. Only one Labyrinth may be generated per game.

	==Layout==		==Layout==
	Although no two Labyrinths will be identical, their layouts are all very similar; they are all made almost entirely of winding, empty, one-tile wide hallways that span a massive area. Exploration is difficult, as portions of the map you've previously explored will rapidly be forgotten once they leave your [[line of sight]]. Mentally keeping track of where you've been helps tremendously in avoiding getting lost, but the Labyrinth will occasionally shift tiles around, opening or closing random passages (you'll notice the sound of gears and machinery whenever this occurs). This makes the "left-hand" rule somewhat less reliable for finding your way out. There is only one safe exit from the Labyrinth, located at the center of the maze with a sizable treasure heap and a minotaur standing guard. You may also come across a portal to [[the Abyss]] as you explore, but using it is generally a suicidal idea for characters this early in the game.

You may also come across a portal to [[the Abyss]] as you explore, but using it is generally a suicidal idea for characters this early in the game.

	Fortunately the maze does provide clues to let you know you're going in the right direction. The outermost portions of the Labyrinth are composed of rock [[wall]]s, but as you get closer to the center, these will change to stone and eventually metal. The exit [[vault]] is sometimes made from a material that distinguishes it from the metal surroundings (such as ~~green~~ crystal), but this is not guaranteed. Apart from the risk of starvation, exploration is generally safe; traps can only generate in the minotaur's chambers, and there are almost no monsters to encounter apart from rare [[redback]]s, [[earth elemental]]s, [[shadow]]s, [[hungry ghost]]s, [[unseen horror]]s, [[gargoyle (monster)\|gargoyles]], [[skeleton (monster)\|skeletons]], [[basilisk]]s, and minotaur [[zombie]]s. Other surprises are few and far between, and usually amount to nothing more than props to add atmosphere or tiny false exit vaults, though ~~small secondary treasure heaps do occur on occasion~~.

	The auto-explore feature is disabled in Labyrinths, forcing you to pick your way through manually. Also, the Labyrinth causes all teleports to deposit you farther from the center than you initially were. While this stops you from simply teleporting randomly until you find the core, it can give you a rough idea of the direction you should be heading.

	*Even though there are next to no sources of food in the Labyrinth, the actual risk of starvation you face is dependent on your [[species]] and the permafood you have on hand when you enter. Average species can usually complete a Labyrinth carrying two or three rations with a very wide safety margin. [[~~Ogre~~]]s and ~~especially~~ [[troll]]s may want to steer clear of a Labyrinth unless they've got a comfortably ~~larger~~ food stock.		*Even though there are next to no sources of food in the Labyrinth, the actual risk of starvation you face is dependent on your [[species]] and the permafood you have on hand when you enter.

[[Ghoul]]s and [[troll]]s may want to steer clear of a Labyrinth unless they've got a comfortably large food stock, and any character has a chance of running afoul of some [[hungry ghost]]s while wandering the maze.
	*Certain abilities can make the Labyrinth a much less frustrating place. [[Ashenzari]] followers with high piety will have no trouble finding their way out as they can simply see through walls. A [[wand of digging]] ~~can carve through rock walls, speeding your approach~~ to the ~~center~~ of the maze, ~~while high [[spell power]] [[Lee's Rapid Deconstruction]] and [[Shatter]] can obliterate any obstacle (though having Shatter at low enough hunger and high enough reliability this early in~~ the ~~game is not particularly common)~~.		*Certain abilities can make the Labyrinth a much less frustrating place.

	**While [[Lugonu]] worshipers may be tempted to simply corrupt reality and march on the exit that way, the neutral [[demon]]s this spawns will very likely pose a much greater threat than the maze and minotaur.		**While [[Lugonu]] worshipers may be tempted to simply corrupt reality and march on the exit that way, the neutral [[demon]]s this spawns will very likely pose a much greater threat than the maze and minotaur.
	*The actual fight with the minotaur can vary greatly in difficulty depending on what he's wielding. An unarmed minotaur is a moderately powerful melee opponent, but one wielding an [[artifact]] [[executioner's axe]] from the loot pile will be extremely dangerous to engage up close. Be sure to examine its equipment before rushing in. See the [[minotaur (monster)\|minotaur]] page for further details.		*The loot pile at the end often contains a wide variety of items, making it worthwhile for any character to explore a Labyrinth. Although much of the loot will be junk, make sure to leave several [[inventory]] slots open before entering.

			===Boss: Minotaur===
			{{LightRed\|H}} [[File:Minotaur (monster).png]] The '''[[Minotaur (monster)\|minotaur]]''' guarding the exit makes for a formidable opponent. Characters that wish to engage it in melee must overcome powerful attacks (including a headbutt counterattack) and enough health and armour to take a beating, spellcasters or ranged specialists who prefer to fight from a distance will have to face a barrage of [[tomahawk]]s or [[javelin]]s, and hexers will find overcoming the minotaur's magic resistance difficult at best. Don't be afraid to pull out all the stops in the fight; buff potions, powerful wands, evokables -- use any and all tactics you can to give yourself an edge.

			Be aware that there's a chance the minotaur might pick up and use some of the treasure if it happens to wander over the loot pile before you get to the exit. Be sure to e'''x'''amine the minotaur to see what sort of equipment it has before engaging it; a minotaur wielding an [[artefact]] weapon it picked up is far more dangerous than usual.
