Minotaur one shot bullshit

Just entered the Minotaur boss room. I go toward him, he jumps underground, and in a split second I'm dead. 6,200 life one shot. No extra crit damage in the map mods.

He didn't even travel halfway toward me. 2 seconds later he jumped out of the ground at exactly the same distance I was from him. In other words, what killed me wasn't him hitting me from underground (which would already be bullshit), but him ENTERING underground -- which, for some reason, hit me from afar.

Basically, this boss killed me by entering the ground without me being within reach. Second bullshit death in one hour. F*ck you, GGG.

[EDIT : I go back inside. Make sure that I'm one screen awayfrom him when he goes underground. I DPS him down easily, but when he's almost dead, the fucking lightning tether hits me EVEN IF I'M NOT EVEN TOUCHING IT. I WAS TWICE MY CHARACTER'S SIZE AWAY FROM THE TETHER AND IT STILL FUCKING HIT ME.]

You can't fucking read? He didn't hit me when he popped back up, but when he ENTERED the ground. I just got one shot again by the same fucking bullshit, I got one shot when he went under, even though his trajectory was not in my direction.

Hi, I understand how you feel but, the problem isn't his damage (though I agree it's ridiculous) It's meant to be that strong. His tunnel is a telegraphed attack which means (IF YOU SEE IT) you can dodge it.

The real problem is that the color of the arena and the palette of the boss makes the "signal" hard to see which gives you less time to react.
Apparently if you stand close to him he never tunnels but, that is BS because he doesn't always follow that rule.. maybe 80% of the time he won't tunnel while you are close. It would be FAR FAR better if his "tunnel attack" was followed by some sort of clear audio cue.

It's true that (very much like the shaper slam) where he tunnels is based on where you are at the time he starts the attack so, if you continue to move and not stand in the same place twice you can dodge it.
Increased AOE on that map is extremely brutal btw so THAT could have been your problem but, you didn't specify that mod being there or not so IDK.)

All of the "how" is completely pointless though because identifying the tunnel is hard ESPECIALLY if you haven't gotten used to squinting at your screen to watch minotaur "step back" which is the cue you are looking for when he is about to tunnel. I've fought him several times and I only have about a 50% success rate dodging that stupid attack. It's too rough to get used to quickly but.. a clear audio cue would help A LOT.

Honestly Minotaur is harder than shaper himself which is yet another example of BS unbalance in this game.

Basically my dude, your anger and frustration is justified but, your only options are to A.)practice identifying the "tunnel" before it happens which only leaves you with a fraction of a second reaction time or, B.)Avoid him altogether. You will die hundreds of times to him unforgivingly unfortunately before you get the hang of it.

One last tip (it sucks for drop returns but) for the map completion alt/regal/corrupt
Basically for guardian maps completion to make it as easy as possible to just get it overwith
Chisel to 20, then transmutation orb, then augment for 2 (non-threatening mods) Once you get that, regal and HOPE for a decent mod. If you get a bad regal (scour and try again)
Once you get a good regal go for corrupt and hope for (stay the same or unid)

Are you sure you didn't get hit by the boulders that fall?
