Obtaining[]

Talk to Meriana at [-6,-3] in the Nauseating Swamps after finishing The Book of Taurs.
Dialog

When you've taken care of the Minotoror, point the bone at the stone throne that's at the heart of the maze, and say the following spell: "Show yourself, soul-less one!" The truth spell will then reveal to you that which remains hidden... if everything goes to plan, you will be shown the way to get the Crimson Dofus.
Well, what are you waiting for? Get going! I have faith in you, you should be able to find your way through the maze.

Leave for Minotoror Island.

Step 1: Taurs and Detours[]

Armed with magical power, you're ready to go head to head with the master of the Minotoror's Labyrinth. Assuming you can get there without getting lost.
  • Find the map: Stairs toward the Minotoror's Labyrinth  [-42,-17]
Dialog

Hello! You want to investigate this labyrinth to see what treasures it holds, am I right? I know what creatures hide inside it, as I'm one of the best archaeologists on this vast island. Some say that's because I'm the only archaeologist on this vast island, but that's not entirely true! The others were so bad, they got lost in the labyrinth. Hahaha. Well, what do you want to know?

Respond that you're here for the Crimson Dofus.

Ho ho, is that all? You're ambitious! Why start small when you can set off in search of the greatest treasure of all? Well, we're certainly going to see what you're made of! And to show you how much I admire your courage, I'm going to give you some advice: take a trip to the Sanctuary of a Hundred Detours before you get lost in the maze. There is someone there who would just love to meet you, I'm sure.

Listen to the rest.

To get to the Sanctuary, use the big head on the stone blocks near the entrance of the maze.

Follow his advice.
Note: in his final line of dialog, 'head' is a mistranslation of 'potion'.
Talk to Lorkos to enter the dungeon. In the Entrance room, click on the potion at the top right of the map, on the stone blocks.

You are teleported to the Sanctuary of a Hundred Detours, a secret map inside the Labyrinth of the Minotoror dungeon.
Dialog

The Sanctuary of a Hundred Detours is a place of peace and tranquillity. Here, adventurers who are exploring the maze are safe.

Find out more about her.

I am Apisaph, the Sanctuary's owner. I hate to see all these heroes suffering, so I'm trying to bring them some comfort. I know that many of them are here by choice, but that doesn't mean they don't need help.

Say that you're looking for the Crimson Dofus.

Many others have tried before you, but who knows, maybe you'll be the one to succeed? Take this potion I've distilled. It will allow you to come back here from anywhere in the World of Twelve. If you need any more doses of this magical elixir, some alchemists will be able to make it... if they know the recipe, of course.

Ask about the potion's recipe.

I make it from a number of ingredients. Scaratos Shell, Quetsnakiatl Feather, Minoskito, Manderisha and Khamelerost Skins... As you can see, there's a bit of everything in it.

Thank her and leave.
From this point onwards, you can use Apisaph's Potion to teleport directly to the Sanctuary of a Hundred Detours.
Click the potion at the bottom right to return to the Entrance room of the dungeon.

Note: You must speak to Lorkos on the Entrance map before defeating the Minotoror, or the quest will not update (the map with the Phoenix). Speaking to him outside the dungeon or inside the maze will not update it.
Go through the maze of the Inner Labyrinth of the Minotoror dungeon and confront the Minotoror.
After defeating the Minotoror, click on the horned throne in the Antechamber room (make sure not to leave by talking to Lorkos yet).
Minotot's throne
Minotot (NPC) will appear on the same map.
Dialog

You can see past appearances... That's rare for your kind.

Ask what his link is with the Crimson Dofus.

It's simple: I'm the real maze master, and the guardian of the Crimson Dofus. Normally, I'm more on the sidelines in a fight, hidden behind my magic. I like watching the Minotoror crush his opponents... when he manages to get the upper hand, at least. Are you asking yourself why the fascination? Well, I don't have to tell you.

Demand that he give the Dofus back immediately.

That's a good one. You might have beaten the Minotoror, but you haven't impressed me. I could turn you into a Tofu, and you'd spend the rest of your miserable days nibbling at seeds in the Ingalsses' Fields. I must admit, though, I do find you fascinating... The magic you used to unveil my presence is both powerful and ancient. How did you learn this spell?

Respond that you've read the Book of Taurs.

Really? Or maybe somebody read it for you... No matter. It looks like you're more on the ball than the majority of adventurers who come to test their abilities against the dangers of the maze. I'm going to offer you a deal. Do you want Ignemikhal's egg? Bring me Totankama's Mask, and the Crimson Dofus will be yours.

Find out more about this mask.
Continue talking to the Minotot (NPC) to start the next quest, Totankama's Treasure.
From now until the end of the Crimson Dofus questline, you can talk to Lorkos otuside the dungeon and choose the Ask to be led to the Minotot. option to return to the Antechamber, allowing you to progress quests without needing to complete the maze again.
