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 has poison resistance thanks to her staff.
