I cant enter that place... It keeps on giving me a message that I " recoiled in terror"... Is there a requirement for entering that place?

Yep. You have to be at certain levels to be able to enter. Try again in a couple of levelups.

It is not so hard... the hard part is only the minotaur mage and the no food.

In my experience, the maze just hasn't been worth it.

The reason why is a bit spoily so..



Spoiler
Minotaur Mages are, if i recall correctly, confuse casters and stat drainers.

Its true that little food is generated in the maze, save for rations that might be dropped randomly, but with a decent herbalism skill and some stomafillia, or a nice stack of lizards, you shouldnt be in TOO much trouble.

The maze is very, very tedious. The PoCC you get at the end from King is oftentimes not even enough to balance the corruption suffered to get down there.

The Axe of the minotaur Emperor is not worth it at all IMO. There are many fans of the axe out there, with the argument that it crits and is one of the hardest hitting weapons in the game, but at 1200s i think its a little too heavy to be practical.

That couples with the fact that i think two handed weapons have the short end of the stick in ADOM. Aside from ToTRR (which makes up for its 2 handedness with a hefty dv/pv bonus and all immunities) and 2 handed polearms (which have a nice DV bonus in its weapon-class) i have found it is under most circumstances better to use a one handed weapon and a shield, unless you find something truly outstanding early game and train it to a decent skill level ie Eternium2HS.
