Arachna the Spider Queen

Arachna the Spider Queen is the boss of the Spider Den.

The Realm Eye says:
Arachna was once a beautiful maiden whose talent in weaving and crafts were unrivaled. Envious, Oryx had challenged her to weave a greater tapestry than he could.
Oryx did not actually know the first thing about weaving, and transmogrified Arachna into a hideous spider in a poor attempt to hide this fact.

Tips and Strategies

Arachna the Spider Queen is not a particularly difficult boss fight, although she can be intimidating to newer players. Her battle involves a biological slowing field that can make it hard to dodge her attacks.

Arachna’s web cannot damage you, it merely applies the Slowed debuff when you touch it. It is possible to sit between the lines and avoid being slowed, but this heavily limits the room you have to dodge. Melee characters and other short-ranged classes will not be able to do this.

Arachna’s attacks are almost entirely radial, meaning they fire out in a ring from her position. Because of this, never sit on her unless you have enough DEF. She can put out a significant blow of damage if you do this.

Her most dangerous attack is a fast Venom Star that deals a very hefty amount of damage for how early she can be encountered, while also applying Weak for 5 seconds which can make it harder to damage her. Avoiding this requires constant focus on Arachna to spot when she fires it.

The hardest part of the fight is keeping within range to harm Arachna. She tends to move away from players constantly, however if she reaches a wall she will move back towards the web, which can give an opening for attack.

Farming Arachna is a good way to get mid-level gear which can set you up for the godlands, as well as for stockpiling Healing Ichors for emergency uses down the road.

Arachna can provide three UT items, unfortunately they are not very valuable due to them being rather weak.
