| Once the best human weaver, Arachne was cursed by being transformed into her present form: half-human, half-spider. No longer ageing, she has the youth and beauty of a human female, along with the legs and abdomen of a monstrous giant spider.
Thousands of years old, she has learned magic and quite a few other tricks. Expect to be ensnared by webs and magic while her pets digest and then drink you dry. |
Useful Info
Arachne is a unique half-spider caster who wields a staff of poison, and likes to ensnare you in webs while she and her spider allies heavily poison you.

Tips & Tricks
- Unlike most monsters found in the Spider's Nest, Arachne isn't affected by Ignite Poison. Be careful, if you are relying on this spell.
- Thanks to her staff, Arachne also resists poison, making another common anti-arachnid strategy useless.
