The Crawling Depths (Rev. 10)

Last updated: Build 16

Arachne’s children were all weak and childish. But one of her sons was curious about the outside world. He left the underground caverns he called home, and ventured out into the world. He was alone, except for one djinn who he had befriended. He stole powerful weapons and armor from others, even from the Sphinx herself. One day he was rummaging through Oryx’s castle when who walked in but Oryx himself. Instead of punishing the intruder, Oryx saw his potential. He taught him potent spells and dark magic, on the condition that he listen to Oryx’s every command. Arachne's son eagerly agreed, for his mother had accepted the same offer that his mother had long ago. He hoped he would make her proud. But when he returned to his home, his mother became jealous of her son’s new powers. She banished him from her realm, and told him never to return. Arachne’s son was heartbroken. He hid himself away in a secret part of the den, where he feasts on hapless travelers, still hoping in vain to make his mother proud.

This dungeon is dropped by the Lucky Djinn which only spawns once per realm, when it is created.

Layout of the Crawling Depths:

The Crawling Depths is a simple maze with only one real pathway - so you won't get lost here - but you do want to watch out for the all the crawling spider hatchlings that spawn from the egg sacs littered across the floor and the other spiders that cause a variety of status effects. If you're not in a rush, it's usually worth it to be cautious and clear each room before progressing to the next room.

Like some other dungeons, the entrance to the boss room is always faces south. Before the boss room, there is a web wall that will cause rushers to spend some time breaking down the wall before entering into relative safety. This wall does not regenerate health, so take it down and enter into the Son of Arachna's Lair!

Tips and Strategies

Boss Strategies: When in the boss room, try to clear all the eggs surrounding the room first. If you don't, then oh well. During the boss fight, the Son of Arachna zips around the web while shooting extremely fast. Around the web are 4 colored eggs in each 'corner' that spawn each type of spider encountered in the dungeon itself. After the eggs are destroyed, the boss slows down considerably as well as its firing speed.

Tips: Each of the eggs corresponds to an attack that the boss does. The red egg is the son's bleeding shot, black is the armor break, yellow is paralyze and gives invulnerability to the boss and blue is the quiet shot and his intense speed. After all of the eggs are broken and the room is cleared of all the quieting spider minions, the fight becomes SIGNIFICANTLY easier to the point where you can stay in the web and never get hit. Each egg that is broken also spawns the corresponding minions just to add to the chaos of it all. The boss himself has shields "on" until the yellow egg is destroyed, but is advised not trying to attack him early on as it is a BIG risk. As long as you aren't too keen on trying to be the hero and taking on his full shotgun of many debuffs, the boss fight isn't too hard :D
