Conduit Minotaur

Conduit Minotaurs are Vex enemies in Spire of the Watcher. When one dies it leaves a pool of radiolarian fluid. Stepping into the pool grants the Arctrician buff, which starts at about 30 seconds and is extended by roughly five seconds for each node activated.

Using the buff

While Arctrician is active, players shoot nodes on electrical wires to power the dungeon's machinery. Yellow wires must be shot in sequence, and each powered node turns its wire blue. Red wires must all be shot within about five seconds, or the circuit resets. Red-wire circuits are used to open vault doors in Pillory Stack Containment and to close the blast door in the Persys fight.

Spawns

Conduit Minotaurs appear in several encounters: after Vex are defeated in Ishtar Chronoscopic Analysis and Pillory Stack Containment, during Ascend the Spire, and at the Akelous fight, where one spawns as players approach the boss. In the Persys fight they spawn after the two Incarcerator Hydras are defeated, and players can refresh the buff by killing one again.
