Minecraft
Minecraft is huge. This indie game has managed to find its way into other games, a testament to its massive fan-following acknowledged by several developers. Like all of them, Torchlight 2 also pays homage to Minecraft by having a dungeon in the game called ” The Notch Mine.”
To access the Notch mine wait until you reach the act 3. During Act 3, you will be asked to go to Sundered Battlefield. Once you reach the battlefield, go to its northern edge. There, you will find the entrance to a dungeon called “The Notch Mine.”
This is a very small dungeon, and it is brimming full of creepers you normally find in Minecraft. At the end of the cave, you will find a treasure chest, and in it will be a unique weapon called “The Iron Sword.”
The Princess Bride
While transcending through the Blight in Act 3, you will encounter bursts of fire erupting from the ground. This whole scene is reminiscent of the Fireswamp found in Rob Reiner’s classic, The Princess Bride.
