Tips[]
- Skeleton characters cannot be eaten, so they are extremely useful here.
- Avoid swimming, as spiders can walk through water and attack your swimming characters.
- Weapons with racial bonuses against animals or spiders such as Polearms and Desert Sabres work extremely well here.
- Skin Spider are relatively slow, large creatures. Do not let yourself be surrounded. Use hit and run tactics to clear groups, or stealth to avoid conflict.
- If you are brave enough and avoid getting surrounded, you can level up your stealth here extremely fast.
- Throughout the area there are small wooden lookouts you can position ranged characters in and use the hold position command in order to safely snipe groups of spiders as they have trouble pathfinding up there. Without the need for melee one can clear areas of spiders while recovering health on said melee characters at the same time before pushing further inside.
Trivia[]
- The name of this region comes from the Ancient Greek word for "spider" (ἀράχνη).
