| Once a talented human weaver, Arachne was cursed by being transformed into her present form: half-human, half-spider. Her sympathies now lie with the inhuman residents of her new home, and she's eager to dispose of any who would threaten them. |

Useful Info
Arachne the Weaver is a unique half-spider caster who wields a staff of poison. She blinks around her webbed domain in combat, and likes to ensnare you in her own webs while she and her spider allies heavily poison you.
Location
- The Spider's Nest:2-5
Spells
| Spell set | ||
|---|---|---|
| Slot1 | Ensnare | Wizard flag |
| Slot2 | Poison Arrow (3d24) | Wizard flag |
| Slot3 | Venom Bolt (3d21) | Wizard flag |
| Slot4 | Blink | Wizard flag |
Tips & Tricks
- Her Conjurations can deal absurd amounts of damage, and her constant webbing will reduce your evasion to next to nothing. Bring poison resistance to make her significantly less deadly, and Repel Missiles/Deflect Missiles to keep yourself from being disabled for half the fight.
- The combination of ranged webbing and constant blinking makes her harder to pin down in melee than anything else you'll encounter. Melee brutes should try to engage her quickly while heavily buffed, be prepared to teleport away if things start going wrong, and may want to consider avoiding her until they have a powerful ranged attack option to finish her off with.
- Unlike most monsters found in the Spider's Nest, Arachne isn't affected by Ignite Poison. Thanks to her staff, she also resists poison, making another common anti-spider strategy useless.
Trivia
According to Greek mythology, Arachne was a mortal weaver whose arrogant pride in her weaving ability caused her to be punished by becoming the first spider.
