Lair of the Spider Queen/Guide
This page was last updated for (v1.1.1). |
Why Idle This?
- Lair of the Spider Queen is mainly cleared for the Royal Toxins Spear as it provides very generous damage boosts, and also provides an additional damage boost for when the enemy is poisoned.
- The only other drop you can get from the dungeon is Spider Queen Eggs used for making the Spider Summoning Tablets.
- The pet from the dungeon, Webbie also reduces your attack speed by 0.1, which is incredibly useful in many ways.
Dungeon Mechanics
Like most dungeons, Lair of the Spider Queen has many weaker enemies before sending the strongest enemy at you, which in this case is Spider Queen. Normally, you would pick a specific combat style to fight the enemies to get the full advantage of the combat triangle, but in this dungeon, you can't. The Spider Queen has a unique mechanic where they will have a random combat triangle each time. Similarly, the 19 weaker enemies before it are randomised in a way which again, makes the combat styles random. This part isn't very important since the heavy hitter in the dungeon is the last enemy. Since the random combat style gimmick is the only reason this dungeon is difficult to many, it is actually rather simple to manually clear.

Idle Gear
- Note that if you are consistently running gear on the right hand side of the table, you may need to check your setup with the Combat Sim mod. You may also need to squeeze in more dr through the use of Yak synergies and using Stone Skin instead of Battleborn.
- Corundum Crossbow performs better than Shockwave. If you are unable to obtain the Meteorite Crossbow, use the highest level crossbow you can obtain.
- Use Damage Reduction Potion IV for 10% extra DR.
- If you are unable to obtain Meteorite Bolts, use the highest level bolts you can obtain.
