The Queen Spider is the second boss in Necesse’s Elder quest chain, summoned in snow biome caves by destroying or using a Royal Egg. What makes her dangerous isn’t raw damage — it’s the wall-piercing charges combined with poison pools that shrink your safe space. Fighting her in a narrow cave without prep is a recipe for an instant wipe.
This guide covers how to get the Royal Egg, what gear to bring, all four attack phases, and every drop item you can get.
Quick Summary
| Location | Snow Biome (Underground) |
| Summon Item | Royal Egg — destroy one in a spider nest, or use one from inventory |
| Recommended Gear | Bloodplate armor, ranged weapon, Health Potions |
| Watch Out For | Wall-piercing charge, egg spawning, venom spit, fast charge |
| Key Drops | Spider Heart, Cave Spider Gland, Frost Piercer |
What Is the Queen Spider?
She’s the second boss in the Elder’s quest chain — the one right after Evil’s Protector. The fight takes place underground in snow biome caves.
Her defining trait: she charges through walls. If you accidentally break a Royal Egg while swinging your sword in a narrow tunnel, she’ll phase through the cave wall and hit you before you can react. That’s why arena prep isn’t optional here — it’s the whole strategy.
On my first run, I went in with Gold armor and a spider summon build. Got her down to 34% HP, then got cornered by poison pools and baby spiders and died. Swapped to Bloodplate armor and finished her cleanly on the next attempt. That experience is what this guide is built on.
Defeating her drops the Spider Heart, which permanently increases your max HP by 50 — same as Evil’s Protector’s Demon Heart.
Summoning: How to Get the Royal Egg
You need a Royal Egg to summon the Queen Spider. Two ways to get one:
Method 1: Break an Egg in a Spider Nest (Risky)
Snow biome caves contain spider nest areas with glowing Royal Eggs sitting in the environment. Hit one and the Queen Spider spawns immediately — no warning, no countdown.
Important: The boss fight starts the moment the egg breaks. I once broke one mid-swing while exploring and got charged through a wall before I could do anything. If you’re in a spider nest area, stop swinging your weapon.
Also: breaking multiple eggs back-to-back spawns multiple Queen Spiders simultaneously. Don’t do that.
Method 2: Loot from Chests and Mobs (Recommended)
Snow biome chests and spider-type enemies drop Royal Eggs as loot. In one cave run I found one from a drop and one in a chest — they’re not rare. This method lets you choose when and where to use the egg, which is the safer play.
Using it from inventory summons the Queen Spider at your location — so make sure you’re inside a snow biome cave when you use it.
Summon Rules
- Snow biome caves only — doesn’t work on the surface or in other biomes
- No time limit — unlike Evil’s Protector, you don’t need to wait for night
- Use from inventory whenever you’re ready; no rush
Pre-Fight Preparation
Gear Checklist (What I Used for My First Clear)
| Slot | Item | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Armor | Bloodplate set (Defense 19) | Requires Demonic Anvil. Farm Evil’s Protector for Demonic Bars — 12 per kill |
| Weapon | Blood Volley (Damage 18, 300ms attack interval, 3 homing bolts) | Ranged magic. Better than melee here because of the wall-pierce charges |
| Accessories | Magic Foci + Force of Wind | Magic Foci from Evil’s Protector drops; Force of Wind for dash dodges |
| Consumables | Health Potions ×5+ | Use them — don’t save them |
For reference: Gold armor + spider summon got the boss to 34% HP, then I got overwhelmed. Bloodplate made the difference — noticeably less damage taken per hit. Farming Evil’s Protector 2–3 times to get the Demonic Bars is worth it.
How to Craft Bloodplate Armor
Kill Evil’s Protector and you get 12 Demonic Bars per run. Use those to craft a Demonic Anvil. The bat wings for the recipe drop from vampires in snow caves — you’ll have plenty just from hunting for Royal Eggs.
Build the Arena First (Non-Negotiable)
The Queen Spider phases through walls. In a tight tunnel, she’ll charge from the other side of the rock and you have zero reaction time. Add poison pools filling the ground and you’re dead before you figure out what happened.
What to do:
- Use a pickaxe to dig out a large open room — 30×30 tiles is enough (confirmed from my run)
- Place torches throughout to suppress mob spawning
- Have your Royal Egg in inventory and move to the arena
- Use the egg from the center of the arena
Stats
| HP (Classic) | 5,000 |
For comparison: Evil’s Protector has 3,000 HP on Classic. Queen Spider has 1.7x the HP but lower defense, so your damage goes through — the fight just takes longer, which means more opportunities for poison pools and baby spiders to get you.
Multiplayer scaling: the more nearby players, the more HP. The bonus is +80% for the first extra player, then diminishes by 4% per player after that (three players on Classic = 5,000 × 2.56 = 12,800 HP).
Attack Phases (4-Phase Rotation)
The Queen Spider doesn’t switch phases based on HP thresholds. She runs through all four attacks in a fixed rotation, repeating continuously. However, as her HP drops, everything gets faster — and she lays more eggs per cycle.
Phase 1: Straight Charge
What she does:
– Charges directly at you in a straight line
– Two variants: a normal charge and a faster, longer-range version
How to dodge:
Step sideways. The charge is linear, so a lateral strafe dodges it cleanly. The problem is the wall pierce — if your arena is too small or you’re near a wall, she can initiate from off-screen.
Force of Wind’s dash ability helps a lot here. Don’t bother trying to attack during this phase; just dodge.
Phase 2: Egg Laying
What she does:
– Stops moving and lays multiple eggs
– Eggs hatch quickly into baby spiders that rush the nearest player
How to handle it:
This is your main damage window. She’s stationary — pour damage in. Simultaneously, destroy the eggs before they hatch or kill the baby spiders the moment they emerge.
If you let them pile up, you’ll be swarmed. AoE weapons (boomerangs, etc.) help clear them fast. In late fight, she lays more eggs per phase, so baby spider management gets hectic.
Phase 3: Venom Spit
What she does:
– Stops and fires venom at the player
– Venom creates poison pools on impact that deal damage over time
How to handle it:
Another stationary phase = another damage window. The catch: those poison pools don’t disappear quickly, and they accumulate across the fight. If you let her push you into a corner, one side of your arena can become impassable.
Stay near center. That gives you room to maneuver as the pools build up.
Phase 4: Fast Charge (Enhanced)
What she does:
– Same as Phase 1, but faster and longer distance
– Speed and frequency increase as her HP drops
How to dodge:
Same lateral strafe as Phase 1, but tighter timing. Being anywhere near a wall when this triggers is dangerous. Stay in open space.
Full Rotation
Straight Charge → Egg Laying → Venom Spit → Fast Charge → repeat
(all phases speed up and intensify as HP drops)Damage windows are Phases 2 and 3 (stationary). Focus on dodging during Phases 1 and 4 and dump damage when she stops.
Drop Items
First-Kill Only
| Item | Effect | |
|---|---|---|
 | Spider Heart | Permanently increases max HP by +50 |
Same effect as Evil’s Protector’s Demon Heart. Use it from your inventory as soon as you pick it up.
Every Kill
| Item | Quantity | |
|---|---|---|
 | Cave Spider Gland | 10–20 |
Rotation Drops (One per Kill)
These four weapons aren’t fully random — the Queen Spider drops them in a fixed rotation, one per kill (tracked per player). So you’re guaranteed all four within four kills, no RNG farming required.
| Item | Type | Notes | |
|---|---|---|---|
 | Spider Claw | Melee (Sword) | Damage 16, 100ms attack interval, 45 range. Among the fastest attack intervals in the game, but extremely short reach |
 | Spider Charm | Accessory | Poisons attackers for 40 damage over 5 seconds when you take a hit |
 | Webbed Gun | Gun | Fires webs as projectiles. Drops bundled with 50–100 Simple Bullets |
 | Frost Piercer | Summon Weapon | Summons up to 8 homing ice crystals. Does not use a summon slot |
The Frost Piercer Is Worth Farming
Because it doesn’t consume a summon slot, you can equip it alongside your main summon weapon and get free extra damage. It stays useful into the next boss fight. Since drops rotate, you’re guaranteed it within a few kills even if it isn’t first — just collect more Royal Eggs and keep running her.
Elder Reward
Completing the Queen Spider quest tier gives you a free Ammo Pouch as the tier-completion reward. After that, it also stocks in the Elder’s shop, so you can buy extras (500–600 coins).
| Item | Effect | |
|---|---|---|
 | Ammo Pouch | Dedicated ammo storage — ammo is drawn from the pouch first, keeps inventory clean. One free from the quest reward; extras buyable from the Elder (500–600 coins) |
After the Fight
1. Use the Spider Heart
Open your inventory and use the Spider Heart. Max HP +50, permanently. Don’t leave it sitting in your bag.
2. Get the Ammo Pouch from the Elder
Head back to your settlement and complete the Elder’s quest — you get a free Ammo Pouch as the reward. It’s also stocked in the Elder’s shop afterward (500–600 coins) if you want extras. Bow and gun builds especially benefit from the extra ammo storage.
3. Evaluate Your Drops
Got a Frost Piercer? Slot it immediately for summon builds — it carries into later fights. Got a Spider Claw? Worth testing if you run melee. Drops rotate, so whatever you’re after will come around — just farm more Royal Eggs and keep running her.
4. Move to the Next Boss
Once the Queen Spider is down, the Elder sends you after the next target: the Void Wizard.
| Next Boss | Location |
|---|---|
| Void Wizard | Bottom floor of the dungeon (entered with a Dungeon Map) |
Keep working through the Elder’s quests and stronger bosses and new areas open up — beating the Pirate Captain unlocks the deep underground.
FAQ
Q: Where do I find the Snow Biome?
The snow biome sits somewhere away from your starting settlement. The world map only fills in places you’ve already visited, so you can’t scout it out on the map ahead of time — you find it by exploring outward into unmapped terrain. Sometimes the land connects directly; sometimes there’s water in the way, so use both foot travel and a boat. Its distance and direction are random per world.
Q: I accidentally broke an egg without a prepared arena. Now what?
Honestly, unless you get lucky, you’re probably dead. The wall pierce plus no room to maneuver is brutal. Die, recover your gear, dig the arena, try again.
Q: Can I use the Royal Egg on the surface?
No — must be used inside a snow biome cave. Dig your arena there, then use it.
Q: What are Cave Spider Glands used for?
They’re crafting materials for spider-set equipment and related items. The Queen Spider drops 10–20 per kill, so you’ll accumulate plenty from farming.
Summary
- Get a Royal Egg from snow cave chests, mob drops, or by finding one in a spider nest (destroy at your own risk)
- Summoning requires being inside a snow biome cave — no time limit
- Dig a 30×30 arena before summoning — wall-piercing charges in a narrow tunnel are lethal
- Bloodplate armor dramatically reduces incoming damage; farm Evil’s Protector 2–3 times for the Demonic Bars
- Four-phase rotation — deal damage during egg laying and venom spit (stationary phases), dodge during charges
- Kill baby spiders immediately — don’t let them pile up
- Drop weapons (Spider Claw / Spider Charm / Webbed Gun / Frost Piercer) come in a fixed rotation, one per kill — Frost Piercer doesn’t consume a summon slot and is the priority pick
