Alando 10 Report post Posted December 22, 2012 So I ran away from some Spider Queens before and then they showed up out of nowhere with 16+ spiders and 6+ Spider Warriors following them. Any advise on how to kill them? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tetris 10 Report post Posted December 22, 2012 Wait, they showed up as in, just, burst through your camp randomly? Because I saw my first one this morning before I went to work (pretty much two in-game days ago) and ran from her. Is she going to ruin my day? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alando 10 Report post Posted December 22, 2012 I found them somewhat close to my camp site, about a 45 second walk, but I did not think they would follow me that far. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
John Explosion 11 Report post Posted December 22, 2012 With that many spider queens, I'd just set up a temporary camp a ways off until they turn back into level one nests. One queen at a time is tough enough. If you'd really like to try to attack it though, you'll need a lot of stuff. You'll probably need to make the spider hat (make it out of egg sacks from a level three nest), a pan flute to calm down the warrior spiders if they get too close, Logsuit (for protection) , a spear / tentacle spike, honey, flame darts, and a lot of luck. The spider hat will cause the spiders to fight each other, giving you time to launch flame darts and several spear attacks against the queens. The honey, panflute, and logsuit are for cleaning up the mess of warrior spiders left over after the queens are dead, or once the hat breaks. Happy hunting!

Alando 10 Report post Posted December 22, 2012 Thanks for the answer! I will most likely wait it out, but how long do you think that will take? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alando 10 Report post Posted December 22, 2012 Check out the end when I fight the queen without the piggies I see. You used many flame darts but I don't have those kinds of resources laying around. Also, there were still some spiders attacking the Queen... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Potato 11 Report post Posted December 22, 2012 I see. You used many flame darts but I don't have those kinds of resources laying around.

General 10 Report post Posted December 22, 2012 Oh dear god, Alando, I feel so very bad for you. The world I'm currently playing on has like 8 spider nests all clumped together on the second island I can get to. They need to die before I have such a problem.

Tetris 10 Report post Posted December 22, 2012 I put three spider nests on the island where my camp is so I can farm silk. I'm scared. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zind 10 Report post Posted December 22, 2012 @AlandoWow, they wpread all the way from the forest to the savanna... and in under 100 days.Did you accidently lead them near your base when you ran away from them ? If not, that's some impressive infestation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
John Explosion 11 Report post Posted December 22, 2012 Run!Maybe a swamp could be helpful in deterring them, if you could get the tentacles to attack them. Otherwise, I hope you have an effigy somewhere. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

w00tyd00d 193 Report post Posted December 22, 2012 I don't know if they follow you forever but I know Queen Spiders have a veeeerrryyy long follow distance, and let me tell you it's creepy as hell due to how slow they walk...I had my first encounter with one the other day and I wasn't too too prepared for it. I got it to what I wanna say was 1/3 of her life but my tentacle spike broke, I had like 17% durability left on my log suit and maybe like 5% on my football helmet. So I just ran, of course it was already dusk and about to become night, so I made a torch and ran for a good distance but didn't quite make it to my camp. So I made a campfire and I'm choppin down trees and about 3/4 of the night pass when all of a sudden I see a normal spider come up kinda close to me. I say to myself, "Oh, I didn't know I made a camp so close to a spider nest." I look at my map quick.....no spider icon anywhere near me. I close my map and quickly hover my mouse over the darkness where the spider came from, and what do I see but the silhouette of the spider queen with 5 other spiders with her. She followed me for almost half of the map, and needless to say I shat my pants and booked it. xD I couldn't believe it, it was like straight out of a horror story...

Tetris 10 Report post Posted December 22, 2012 Aggh rofl these stories are hilarious but I'm getting scared. Spiders give me the jeebies, especially the queen. hopefully before she reaches my camp she'll turn back into a nest, or at least get stuck on a bridge.
