Lair of the Spider Queen/Guide

This page was last updated for (v1.1.2).

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 0.1s, 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.

Astrology

As many combat bonuses from Astrology constellations are recommended, but not required. In total, Astrology serves as a massive buff to combat and will make the fight easier. The main bonuses are:

• +5 Hidden Levels for Melee Ranged Magic
  • Iridan, Terra, Syllia, and Arachi. The +5 hidden Defence levels in Tellus are redundant.
• 5% reduced Attack Interval and Enemy Damage Reduction decreased by 5%, from Ashtar

Agility

#	Obstacle	Reason
1	X
2	X
3	Pipe Climb	No particular reason beyond being the only obstacle that grants any combat benefits.
4	Coal Stones	No negative modifiers, technically saves some food.
5	Cliff Balance	+20 HP.
6	Lake Swim	More Damage Reduction and damage
7	Boulder Trap	No negative combat modifiers.
8	Raft Building	Gives a bit more survivability which is rather important.
9	Ice Jump	+20 HP
10	Ocean Rafting	Free damage!
P	Pillar of Combat	Lots of beneficial combat bonuses.
11	Frozen Maze	More damage reduction and faster monster respawns.
12	Boulder Balance	Lower attack interval and more damage for the low price of lower accuracy.
13	Rope Trap	More damage.
14	Freezing Climb	More evasion, accuracy and damage.
15	Waterfall Crossing	Is the equivalent of a permanent Diamond Luck Potion IV, which frees up the potion slot for Damage Reduction Potion IV It is necessary to have this obstacle at 99 mastery to halve the -100hp modifier.
EP	Elite Pillar of Expertise	Provides 8% doubling, which helps a lot with chests.

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 Divine 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.
• If you are using all the gear from the first column, you will have a tiny chance of death, around 0.006 deaths/hour. For maximum safety, you can replace Avidity with Holy Aegis for there to be no chance of death. Note that this reduces kills/hour by a considerable amount (around 1.5).

This particular build only works in standard mode. This exact setup is not completely safe in hardcore or adventure mode due to the harder Combat Triangle

• For complete safety in hardcore mode, use all the gear from the first column, but:
  • Replace Ring of Power with Palladium Runestone Ring. Make sure it is in your passive slot and not your ring slot.
  • Replace Leviathan Shield with (P) Divine Shield to remove the RNG element from your DR.
• You should have at least 94% damage reduction with 1220 HP (12200 in adventure mode), with Wasteful Ring and Palladium Runestone Ring in your passive slot (since it has -1% DR, but when in the passive slot, you do not lose 1% DR)
