By
Seren Morgan-Roberts

This page offers a guide on how to find the Minotaur Maze Treasure and the Minotaur Maze Key in Grounded.

How to Find the Minotaur Maze Key

The Minotaur Maze Key is found underwater in the exposed pipe (map marker) found between the Sandbox and the picnic table. Head into the exposed pipe from the hole underneath then head right to swim into a hidden underwater area. Here you’ll find the Minotaur Maze Key trapped behind some soggy root. To get rid of the roots and reach the key, you’ll need a Tier II "Bone Dagger" iconBone Dagger.

How to Find the Minotaur Maze Treasure

The Minotaur Maze and its treasure is found on top of the Picnic Table. To get on top of the table, you’ll first need to locate the leaning shovel which is found nearby the picnic table.

How to Get onto the Picnic Table

Once you reach the "Leaning Shovel" iconLeaning Shovel, you’ll notice that there’s a rock beneath it which can be destroyed using an explosive. You’ll need to use a "Bratburst" iconBratburst or "Splatburst" iconSplatburst bomb to do this. You can craft a Bratburst using 2 "Fungal Growth" iconFungal Growth, 1 "Red Ant Egg" iconRed Ant Egg, and 4 "Dry Grass Chunk" iconDry Grass Chunks. The Splatburst requires 5 "Web Fiber" iconWeb Fiber, 1 Bratburst, and 5 "Sap" iconSap. Either of these explosives will be sufficient to destroy the rock and move the Leaning Shovel so that it moves to a position where it’s leaning against the Picnic Table.

Now that the shovel is in place, climb up it to the Picnic Table. From here you’ll need to turn left and go around the yellow lunch box, before turning right again and jumping down onto the lower part of the bench support, just beneath the white plastic fork. Follow this north until you reach some nails, which you can then jump onto to reach the other side of the Picnic Table seat.

How to Climb the Cooler Box

On this side of the Picnic Table you’ll notice some books in front of you and to the right. You’ll need to run up this to reach a Cooler Box. You’ll see a large red button which you can hit using a busting weapon, causing the handle to fall and allowing you to climb it to the top of the Picnic Table, as shown in the gif below.

Getting Through the Minotaur Maze

Now that you’re on top of the Picnic Table, you’ll be able to easily find the Minotaur Maze - it’s on the far end of the table! But watch out for the bees, there are a few hanging around there but so long as you don’t get too close they won’t be hostile.

Head into the Minotaur Maze atop the Picnic Table.

When you enter through the door into the maze, head left and continue all the way down the corridor until it turns right. Follow the path until you see the first door on the right. When you head into this new hallway, walk behind the statue to find another slightly hidden door. Through here you’ll find a bee guarding a Treasure Chest. If you come at night the "Bee" iconBee will be sleeping!

Once you’ve dealt with the bee (if it’s daytime!), use your Minotaur Key to open up the chest! Inside you’ll find a Mega Molar powerup, the RPG Module SCA.B, the Picnic BURG.L Chip, x1 "Sturdy Quartzite Shard" iconSturdy Quartzite Shard and x1 "Brittle Marble Shard" iconBrittle Marble Shard.
