Tips & Tricks

  • Unlike most spiders, broodmothers are not weak to poison, though not resistant, either. Spells like Olgreb's Toxic Radiance can wear down the summons and the mother, but the broodmother's large HP pool makes taking them on directly with Alchemy less than ideal.

History

  • In 0.32, broodmothers won't be able to abjure hostile summons.
  • Broodmothers were added in 0.28.
