Arachne

Arachne is a spawned in the Spider's Den. She has two difficulties depending on her summoning method. Her weaker form has, and can be summoned with 4 Arachne's Callings, similar to dragon fights. She also can be summoned with one Arachne Crystal, spawning a stronger version with. This can be done at the altar made of endstone and sandstone located at. Arachne can spawn as a Runic variant on defeat of a stage. Arachne can summon cobwebs and Arachne's Broods, which have or. If Arachne is not defeated within 10 minutes of spawning, the message "" appears in the chat and she will then despawn. Defeating Lesser and Greater Version of Arachne rewards Skyblock XP, which is used to level up an important Stat called Skyblock Levels.

Summoning
To summon the boss, one must place four Arachne's Callings or one Arachne Crystal on the altar. After placing the four fragments, the spider will spawn after a short delay, and displaying a line of dialogue explaining how much of a mistake the players have made.

Behavior
After it spawns, Arachne will run around, damaging players around it. It is recommended to use an Aspect of the End to escape upon noticing your hindered movement.

Upon dropping below 50% and 20% hp arachne splits into a number of Arachne's Broods (10 for 50% and 20 for 20%) These spiders, like Arachne, are immune to magic damage. Once all of the brood are killed Arachne will respawn. Arachne has a chance to respawn as runic.

If Arachne has not damaged a player within roughly 6 seconds, she will use Venom Shot on whoever she is currently targeting. This debuff poisons players, lowering them to ~1% of their maximum health every few seconds. This does not affect shields/absorption (i.e. a Valkyrie's Wither Impact/Wither Shield). To counter this, using Wither Impact/Wither Shield about 1 second after taking a Venom Shot will allow you to regenerate health (i.e. with Life Steal) while your shield is active. If you do not have access to a variant of the Necron's Blade, it is recommended to disable Dodge/Agility potions to allow Arachne to damage you, which means she won't use Venom Shot. Sometimes Arachne will 'refuse' to hurt you (likely a bug). It should also be noted that the Vaccine Talisman does not protect the person inflicted with the venom shot debuff from getting poisoned. Additionally, the venom effect does not expire on death, meaning on your way back to the boss room you are still at risk of dying to spiders along the way.
