What WEAPON Should Minotaurs use?

[@troperhghar9898]

A full sized minotaur who knows his labyrinth would be a master archer

[@pal1d1nl1ght]

Everyone was wondering why the dungeon was riddled with fist sized holes, which seemed to run the whole length of the dungeon, until the minotaur started sniping them from half a mile away, through several walls.

[@MegaKnight2012]

Like Medusa in the original Clash of the Titans movie

[@vegancardigan]

Give em a full sized ballista

[@dontkickmychick6076]

Im stealing this idea

[@Hdtjdjbszh]

This leads me to believe that ALL labyrinths have no corridors longer than 11 feet 8 inches

[@francobuzzetti9424]

the myth version of pre-fire would apply at every corner

[@asahearts1]

Real labyrinths have curves.

[@francobuzzetti9424]

@@asahearts1 that's some weak a$$ labyrinth when you are armed with a 12ft sharpstick

[@Hdtjdjbszh]

@@asahearts1 bet you that curve radius is just around 12 foot

[@therighttrousers343]

A giant shield that looks exactly like the walls, and perfectly fits the width of corridors that it could stand at the opening of a corridor and make it look like just another wall. And use that to stealthily cut off intruders into closed corridors, and eventually to ram them down and crush them.

[@MarcusVance]

I am currently unpacking from a move, so I'm intimately aware of how incredibly annoying it is to move large objects in spaces. I don't believe that that is the answer

All species fight themselves as much or probably more than they fight other species. I want to see videos like this depicting how these fantasy creatures would fight each other.

[@francobuzzetti9424]

YES please

[@borttorbbq2556]

That's true vs. one another a large ax, would be killer

[@Vextipher]

Minotaur with a large spiked shield going full sprint with the roars and steps echoing through the labyrinth.

[@farkasmactavish]

Sure, but thematically, they should have axes. The original minotaur myth is poetically about the Greeks conquering the Minoan civilization, which had a ton of bull iconography and used an axe as a symbol of authority.

[@TheSteam02]

Thematics and practicality are two different things.

[@farkasmactavish]

@@TheSteam02 It's still a big blade on the end of a stick, either way. Just give it a topspike like a halberd and you'll have the exact same effect as a sword staff. Marcus is really just being contrarian here.

[@williamhamilton1154]

Love that. Thank you.

[@Quantumact2908]

​@@farkasmactavishyes, but an axe is more for hacking things with wider swings, wheras a sword is typically for slashing and (if the blade permits it) stabbing. as for adding a spike at the end, yes, that would allow for stabbing as well, but just stabbing will only get you so far

[@VampyricDoge14]

​@@farkasmactavish Not really. He is talking about practicality instead of thematics. The Buster Sword makes thematic sense for Cloud, but anyone saying it's practical probably dropped it on their own head after trying to lift it. Minotaurs are not exclusively presented with the Greek thematics, so presenting a more practical option isn't some wildly contrarian thing, it's just presenting something that's not practical. He's also limited by the 60 second limit of yt shorts, so he can't talk about both the thematics and more practical alternative in the same video.

[@MegaKnight2012]

One of those two handed dueling shields, with spikes on it. Combine that with a collapsible spear and short sword, fantasy variations of Greek Hoplite weapons.

[@tdpuuhailee8222]

Concluson: Spears are underrated as f*ck.

[@azechase6597]

The visage of a minotaur peeking around a cornrer and stabbing at you is true nightmare fuel to me

[@drysoup3017]

...themselves?

[@tristandukes5548]

Yes! I needed someone to replace Fantasy Rearmed after Shad went crazy

[@nudl3Zz]

what about a lance? would be brutal

[@vegancardigan]

We also need to arm a minataur with a ballista or a bunch of crossbows because it knows the layout, also wire traps, wolf pits, if we sided with minataur we could make the labirinth so much better

[@kellenphan7198]

Marcus... a corpo?! What the fuck, choom!?

[@garbageguy2599]

Most of the time Minotaurs are depicted as essentially body builders so it’s probably hard for them to use many weapons. Honestly though just a big club would probably be best

[@ghoulishgoober3122]

I mean if they can swing a club they can probablt swing a sword, if they can swing one thing two handed could probably swing anything

[@ahel4523]

I'd just give them a suit of armour with a thicker protection on the head, shoulders, and hands. Can't break through the armour, can't vault over it. So just need to take it.

[@kourtneyhanley]

A curved spear that goes around corners

[@ghoulishgoober3122]

The comedically long falx

[@Texsoroban]

So basically a naganta or a staff sword.

[@MarcusVance]

More like a short sword nagamaki

[@jamesblaze21]

Would this still be the ideal weapon for them outside of a labyrinth?

[@Sus-ir9zc]

Can we give this man some well earned Likes for ductaping a child's plastic sword and a broomstick to show us how a mythological creature will fight

[@tapeadeadworm]

A minotaur wielding an Armads just feels right.

[@burlbrasheariv7311]

I feel like WH40k gets it right with the Ogryns: something brutish and tough but simple to use. I feel like a pole sword would take too much skill for a Minotaur to use.

[@PJDAltamirus0425]

Yeah... most depicitions of minotaurs don't depict them as very bright. More like huge, hugely strong aggressive animals so using what weaker beings would use as tools only as weapons such as two handed hammers, feeling axes, etc. The closest thing can think of to this which would keep that is mind would be a trident.

[@ger5956]

Obvious answer is halberd but bigger

[@asahearts1]

The real best weapon would be claymores. Not the swords.

[@borttorbbq2556]

Why wouldn't they use a pole axe
