The Spider Queen

This boss's marks deal a fixed amount set for its level (34), in place of the blow multiples below: a move you could dodge 392 damage, a hazard 343 damage, its signature failed 539 damage, burning ground 118 damage a second. More levels and better gear mean more health, so the same hit takes a smaller part of it. Armour, shields and barriers turn aside at most 20% of it.

It draws a red circle under its main target's feet (the player who angers it most; radius 2.3 tiles); 1.5 s later it hits everyone inside for 2.3 × a normal blow. It stands still while the mark lasts.

When4 s into the fight, then every 9 s.

EnragedEvery 6.5 s, and the circle grows (radius 2.9 tiles).

TipWhen the red circle appears, get out of it within 1.5 s. Whoever holds the boss keeps it away from the group, so the circle reaches no one else.

It marks a circle under each of its nearest foes (2/3/4 for 1, 2–3 and 4–5 players; radius 1.6 tiles); 1.5 s later all of them strike at once, 1.6 × a normal blow to whoever is inside. It calls out: "(The Queen rains web on you!)"

When6.5 s into the fight, then every 12 s.

EnragedEvery 9 s.

TipStep out of your own circle, not into a neighbour's: keep a little apart.

She wraps one of the party in a cocoon where they stand: they can't move and it hurts them every 1 s, 0.5 × a normal blow, until the others cut it open. Not cut open in 9 s, her venom deals them 539 damage. A lone player struggles out after 2 s of trying to walk.

When14 s into the fight, then every 26 s.

EnragedEvery 20 s.

TipEveryone else turns on the cocoon at once: cut your friend out before the Queen comes for the rest.

Circles under 1/2/3 of the party (radius 1.8 tiles); 1.3 s later poison pools lie there for 9 s, hurting whoever stands in one every 1 s, 0.5 × a normal blow.

When4.5 s into the fight, then every 9 s.

EnragedEvery 6.5 s.

TipStep out of the circle, and keep the fight away from the green pools.

It shouts: "(The brood hatches!)" 2/2/3 Spiderling (level 33) come and attack the boss's target.

WhenAt 50% of its health, once each.

TipCut down the newcomers first: whoever holds the boss keeps holding it, the others turn on the helpers. Use your area skills here.

She lays an egg on one of the party (never the one she fights): a ring of 3 tiles round their feet. In 6 s it bursts: 392 damage to everyone else in the ring (the carrier 1.2 × a normal blow) and brood (1/2/3) comes out.

When9 s in, then every 24 s

EnragedEvery 20 s.

TipThe carrier walks away from the others; the tank picks up the brood.

It flushes red and rages: its normal blows come 1.3× as often, and all its blows are 15% harder.

WhenAt 30% of its health; it lasts to the end of the fight.

EnragedVenom Spit every 6.5 s, Web Rain every 9 s.

TipThe last part is the most dangerous: save your strong skills and potions for it, and dodging the marks matters more than ever.
