Map of the The Labyrinth

The Labyrinth is the first section of The Underworld explorable area that players are greeted with. The Labyrinth generally consists of a number of winding corridors, which lead to other distinct areas of the Underworld.

Many inexperienced teams fail to make it past this section of the Underworld. Before players can gain access to any other parts of the Underworld they need to complete the quest Clear the Chamber given by the Lost Soul standing near to their initial spawn location. This quest will open the doors allowing movement away from the starting area. The Reaper of the Labyrinth can be found to the north, but will not appear until the Terrorweb Dryders that have imprisoned him have been destroyed.

The Labyrinth is inhabited largely by the Bladed Aatxes, bull-like creatures who can cause havoc on weakly armoured targets if not dealt with correctly.

[edit] Notes

  • Beginners in the Underworld should not take the quest until they have cleared the surrounding area of Bladed Aatxes as these heavy hitting warriors can easily take down an ill-prepared team that is distracted by the Grasping Darknesses that spawn from the initial quest.
  • Bladed Aatxes are melee fighters and as such cause much less damage if they are: blinded, weakened or avoided through kiting and the use of skills that inflict cripple or otherwise slow enemies.
  • As part of the October 22, 2009:
    • Four sets of pop-up Grasping Darkness mobs were added in the area near the player's zone point into the Underworld. The pop-up mobs consist of one to three Grasping Darknesses each. An anomaly currently exists that pings the location of those spawn points when you zone into the Underworld.
    • Five Skeleton of Dhuum have been added to this area. A large spawn of three patrol at the top of the northern staircase, one patrols in the immediate area directly in front of the player's zone point, another patrols the north-western door into the Labyrinth, while the final one patrols in between the four columns leading towards the Forgotten Vale.
    • Two pop-up mobs of three Mindblade Spectre spawn near the exit to the Forgotten Vale. The first mob spawns at the base of the first stair case leading to the Forgotten Vale, the trigger zone appears to be at the top that set of stairs. The second group spawns between the large doorway and the bridge, the trigger zone appears to be on the opposing end of the bridge. Cautious is adviced as Grasping Darkness pop-ups in the Forgotten Vale may also be triggered as you cross the bridge to trigger the second pop-up Mindblades. Both groups are preceeded by their spawning noise, they initially spawn in friendly but after a few seconds turn hostile.
