Useful Info
Tarantellas are spiders with a unique venom that induces confusion rather than poison in its victims. They are thankfully fairly fragile, but often appear along with a group of other spider types. They can be found in the Spider's Nest.
Tips & Tricks
- Poison and magic resistance do nothing to stop their confusion effect, but clarity works like a charm.
- A potion of curing will cure confusion.
- They're vulnerable to poison themselves, so Mephitic Cloud can take them out of commission easily.
- Tarantellas might be fragile, but they're fast and they hit about as hard as yaks, even without the added confusion. Be careful if you're fighting lots of spiders at once.
History
- Prior to 0.25, the player could summon tarantellas using a sack of spiders.
- In 0.17, chunks from tarantella corpses became edible instead of poisonous.
