Terrorantula  

Anyone happen to have a theroy on how to get this fella to spawn?

I was one of two people in South Ro, when a ways away I see a huge spider. I think it is an optical illusion, I run over and hit him--wrong. He conned light blue to me at 51, and it was then that I noticed he had a strange name--TERRORANTULA! I was at two bubs of life when I began fighting him, so I zoned. I came back in, got a heal from a very kind hearted cleric and went to him. I must say that beasty has a couple hp. He was much more difficult than the SG that were conning dark blue to me. Not bad, for running up to a mountainous spider and sticking my spear in his mandibles. Overall, it was very fun, and now I have some legs and silks as trophies.

43 warrior here and i couldnt solo the Terrorantula. I had to call for back up . Hes easy to kite and he has 1,000's and 1,000's of HP's . But what we all want to know is .... what does the leg and heart do ? what quests are they for ? has anyone ever done it ? has anyone ever taled to an NPC and them say anything about spiders? any INFO along those lines would help greatly

Thanks

I, a 41 Necro with 201 INT, soloed the Terrorantula easily. First time i ever saw it, someone else engaged, and i thought *whew thank goodness - it's probly too hard for me* but it actually conned blue. The next time i saw it, it attacked a friend of mine, and i thought oh boy here come two deaths as i engaged it. It was blue again, but i expected a very tough fight, as it's kinda a Named mob. However it put up a pitiful fight never hit higher than 91 on pet, spells stuck with ease (one resist of Invoke Fear and one more of Dooming Darkness), and it had very little HP. Frost Giant Berzerkers in The Great Divide in Velious are MUCH tougher - those can hit 108 and have massive hp. I didn't even stack all my DOTs on the spider it but it died before i had to re apply Dark, which rather shocked me, as i ALWAYS have to re apply dark to those Frost Giant Berzerkers. On spider i used one Dooming Darkness, one Scourge, one Venom of the Snake, sent in 39 pet, and kept fear on (2 or three casts of Invoke Fear for the whole fight). By the time first venom wore off it was at about low enough HP to run, but i reapplied it anyway juuuuuuuust in case. Easily dropped it, if i had known it was so weak i could probly have done it with less mana. I started the fight with about 80m and ended with about 30. In terms of resists, i believe that it might have evaded one Dooming Darkness and one Invoke Fear, but i'd hardly call it very magic resistant. I now have 5 or 6 Terrorantula Silks and the Legs the sucker drops. I'm on Ayoane Ro server, char name is Brindidar. If you wish to purchase the silks or legs feel free to send me a tell in game. I understand Silks are used in Erudite Cultural Tailoring, and the legs *may* be for a *broken* quest.

Lewted a couple silks off this sucker yesterday and would be happy to "donate" <cough> to a worthy cause (read sell em).

Let me know on Quellious server -- Thanadeus.

I saw a "terrorantula silk" for sale by merchant ... anyone know what this is for?

If anyone on the FV server obtains any Terror silks I'll gladly purchase them off you. My characters name is alazard just send me a tell in game and I'll buy them

I met this damn spider after killing a sand giant. He was pretty tough for me (49 SK). I fear kited him around the zone but when the fear wore off and he turned, he hit hard. Be wary of him. He did drop 4 silks and the legs, all which I have no use for. He spawned at the merchant camp where I was trying to rest.

Just a bit of FYI.... I have seen two Terrorantulas up at the same time in SRo. Resistant to poison, but not much else.

I heard a shout in the Zone that this mob was up, I hadn't heard the name of this mob before so I decided to have a look to see what it looked like. I was only 3m at the time so I wasn't looking to start a big fight.

He agroed on me for getting too close - I snared, rooted, drifting death and inoth dots. Sat and medded while they did their work. Re-did the root and the dots again then one starfire to finish off. No resists on any casts however the first root did break after a few seconds - he poisoned me but it had gone before the fight was over.

During the fight I was asking in guild chat about him and was receiving messages such as 'you are going to run out of mana, he resists, he's really hard' but I didn't see much difference between him and say a greater skele or a plant in ej. (in regards to the amount of time/mana it took to kill)

Dropped legs and 3 silks.

Yes, the silks are very useful...I'm looking for several...100pp/each silk.
