Spider Den
Difficulty: 1

The Spider Den before Month of the Mad God 2020 is an low-level dungeon designed for weak (level 5+) characters. Monsters have relatively low health and do not deal too much damage. However, enemy quantity in this dungeon is significant. The dungeon received a significant rework for Month of the Mad God 2020 (Exalt Version 1.1.0.0 (Sep 2020)), as part of the “reconstruction” theme which aimed to modernize some of the game’s oldest content. This page describes the most recent iteration of the Spider Den before the rework.

This dungeon is one of two sources of Healing Ichors and the main source of two weak untiered items: the Poison Fang Dagger and Spider’s Eye Ring.

Entrances to the Spider Den have a chance of dropping from Cyclops Gods, Ghost Kings, Urgles, Werelions and Undead Dwarf Warriors.

This dungeon must be completed to earn the ‘Tunnel Rat’ fame bonus.

The dungeon has a much more difficult version called The Crawling Depths.

The Realm Eye says:
Arachna the Spider Queen dug out massive dirt tunnels to house her thousands of children until maturity.
Her offspring may be weak, but their strength in numbers is enough to deter most other monsters that would seek to intrude on her turf.

Layout

The dungeon is a modestly-sized cavern consisting of a series of circular rooms linked by short hallways. There are no branching paths possible. Each room has dark brown floor and wall tiles with small cobwebs occasionally extending from the walls. Numerous Spider Egg Sacs can be found throughout the Spider Den and will hatch into several Green Den Spider Hatchlings when destroyed or when players get too close. Broken and darkened eggs can also be found but these have no function.

Tips and Strategies

This dungeon can be notorious for causing lag on lower end computers similarly to an Urgle, due to the large number of spider hatchlings that can be alive. Try to avoid causing too many to spawn if you suffer from a lower end PC.
