Skills and Abilities[edit]

Bite
A basic attack that does moderate physical damage. If taunted the boss will be forced to use this attack on the tank only.
Spew Venom
The boss places multiple poison pools on top of a player as indicated by red circles. This always lands on the player's location and thus the player should avoid standing near their allies to prevent the poison from hitting multiple people at once.
Summon Votary's Broodlings[verification needed]
The boss summons four Votary's Broodlings to attack the party. These adds will also immobilize a player when they spawn, and this can be countered by roll dodging. The party should kill these adds quickly to simplify the fight.
Grappling Strands[verification needed]
The boss pulls everyone in front of itself inwards towards itself using webs.
Webspinner's Wrath
Immediately after Grappling Strands, the boss releases a burst of magic around itself as indicated by a large red circle. This does massive damage and should be avoided at all costs even by the tank.
Consume[verification needed]
If any corpses are lying around, either from players or adds dying, the boss will rush over to eat it and regain health. This move heals the boss for a very large amount over time and should be interrupted quickly to shorten the fight.
