Champion vs Peerless Debate
- You don't need to use any keys to summon her (unlike a peerless)
- You just kill spawn to make her appear (like a champion spawn)
- Only ~4,000 hit points (in line with other champions)
- Two other champion spawns were introduced with Mondain's Legacy, so it wasn't just all Peerless
- The UOML official website states: Portions of the ancient city are still inhabited by its founders, the minotaur. Meraktus, a powerful tormented minotaur (champion spawn) rules her people from the center of an ornate labyrinth.
I think the evidence supports that this is a Champion Spawn and not a Peerless. - JC the Builder 15:31, 27 October 2008 (PDT)
I've no argument that it isn't a peerless, but I don't think it's a "true" champion either. Well, the current page revision about sums up my opinion. Unlike a champion there is absolutely no point to taking her down (assuming you count the 200k dropped by every other champ to be a "point").
Though I can add another item to your list - If you're a bit slow killing the minotaurs the progress messages will go backwards over time.
Would be interesting to see if a specific title can be earnt for defeating her.
