I just killed her solo with my 73 rogue and cleric merc. This is a good area to farm nigriventor venoms for poisonmaking so I thought I'd take her out for fun. It's easier to pull the baby spiders out into the hallway so you don't get swarmed when the next rounds pop. Crappy drop, but got a bunch of venoms off the baby spiders.
She is always Yellow when I do her.. The one on track is the untargetable one, and then a new one spawns after the waves.
The waves are random 3-5 each spiderlings, whats tricky the trigger to spawn the next wave is next to last kill of current wave.
During my first try at her, this is whacko... I wiped to hall respawn while killing the targetable one, It took me awhile to crawl back to her after summoning corpses.. and when I got back there.. she was in her room, AND the event non-targetable one was also there.. made for an interesting screen shot.
I have found the no drop item from here, and was REAL dissapointed after equiping my chars with the necklace from Protector of Fire.. but they are some plate arms, AC 25, STR 5, HP 50, think MANA 40. .and SV Poison 5... Thats It.. what a waste, will only do her again for more silk after I find the Hilt.
The picture above is really not the "fun" one I mentioned in a previous post. What you have to do is come at her from the side (the passageway on the left side of the picture above.) When you do, All you can see is her head. This is quite impressive as this passage is pretty wide and her room is at the top of a ramp.
Spawn time is around 3-4 hours. Has about 40-50,000hp. Max hit is 490. Queen is in a room with 4 other spawns (nothing to do with event) Kill those first, by using a range item. Try not to enter the room. If you enter the room, you start event. Queen spawns 4 spiderlings that hit 1-200s. Queen spawns 4 / 4 / 5 / 5 / 6 spiderlings on each wave. Queen shrinks each wave.
This is doable with a group of 65s, or 2 groups of 55-60s.
Overall. I dont think loot is worth it, but fun event.
Queen has been 66 or 67 both times iv seen her. She not to hard does NOT ramp flurry or cast - she did have the reg poison that the other spiders have /shrug - war and pally said she hit about as hard as any T-1 mob. so 300 - 400 max
Pathing is bad here - have snare on or sometimes the mini spiders will run a full circle around the spdier area and train u to hell. Sux but is a fun event. Did first time with 2 65 druids 65 pal 65 war 65 bard (me) 2nd time we were on 5th cycle and another group comes up behind us and trains 5 under the world giants on us - sux'd.
Our ranger turns the corner and says OMG! So I run up and look, and say OMG! Then the wizard... Then the enchanter... Then the cleric... Meanwhile our ChiaPaladin (whom we left fighting a spider) is going "What? What?"
Anyway, this is a ring event. There are 4 spiderlings under her. There are also 4 regular spawns in the room. The Queen is untargetable. After some clearing, killing 3 of the spiderlings SHRINKS the Queen one size and 4 new spiderlings spawn. Keep doing this for six waves of spiderlings and watch the Queen shrink each time. After the third spiderling is killed on the last wave the Queen becomes targetable. Can be partially slowed.
