Argus is a challenging mini-boss you can encounter in the End Game Labyrinth (Uber Labyrinth) of Path of Exile. While not the main objective, defeating him offers an extra reward in the form of a Treasure Key. Here's how to approach this encounter:

Understanding Argus:

  • Location: Argus spawns randomly behind a closed door in the labyrinth layout. There's no guaranteed way to find him in every run.
  • Difficulty: Argus hits very hard with physical attacks, similar to the Minotaur boss.

Engaging Argus (Optional):

  • Choice: Since Argus is not essential for completing the Labyrinth, you can choose to skip him if you're low on health or time.
  • Benefits: Defeating Argus grants an additional Treasure Key, which can be used to open chests in the Labyrinth for potentially valuable rewards.

Strategies for Defeating Argus:

  • High DPS: The most straightforward approach is to focus on maximizing your damage output to eliminate Argus quickly before he can deal significant damage.
  • Defensive Measures (Optional): If your build is more defensively oriented, consider using defensive flasks like a Granite Flask for additional physical damage reduction or a Jade Flask for increased evasion.
  • Movement Skills: Having a reliable movement skill like Flicker Strike, Leap Slam, or Shield Charge can help you dodge his attacks if needed.

Important Note:

  • Time Efficiency: Evaluate the time investment. If finding and defeating Argus takes too long compared to the potential reward from the Treasure Key, it might be more efficient to focus on completing the Labyrinth itself.

Alternatives for Treasure Keys:

  • Treasure Keys can also be obtained by:
    • Killing Izaro, the High Templar (the main Labyrinth boss).
    • Opening Curious Lockboxes found throughout the Labyrinth.

Community Resources:

  • Consult Path of Exile forums or online resources for the current league to see if there are any special mechanics related to Argus or Treasure Keys.
  • You can also check the Path of Exile Wiki for the Labyrinth's page to learn more about its layout and optional challenges: https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/The_Lord%27s_Labyrinth

Remember, defeating Argus is a bonus objective in the Labyrinth. The most important aspect is to complete the Labyrinth trials and face Izaro. Choose the strategy that best suits your character build, available time, and risk tolerance. Good luck!
