Spiders are, by far, the biggest threat in the Earthed backyard. They have great health bars, also surprisingly fast, and they won't give up when they start trying to kill you. They also hit really hard and look disgusting so we don't mind if you kill them at all.
Where to find spiders
You can find spiders all around the large oak tree to the north of the map. You have to be careful in this area because you never want to find yourself fighting more than one spider at a time.
How to fight spiders solo
If you plan to fight a spider on your own, distance is your friend and the battlefield is key. You will need a Sprig Bow and Arrows.
Strand arch
- Strand x 3
- Gnat Fuzz x 4
- Woven fiber x 2
arrows
- Mite Fuzz x 2
- Thistle Needle x 5
Now find your target spider and make sure you have rocks, dry grass, and other items nearby. You want to shoot the spider and then place the land between you and it, ideally standing somewhere the spider just can't get to, then work it with arrows until it's dead. Grass won't work, as the spider can just bend it, be sure to use rocks for the best effect.
How to fight spiders in groups
You still want to use arrows, but this time have a person shoot the aggro from the spider, then jump on a rock or branch that the spider can't reach. Spiders are currently very weak at dropping aggro, and will just try to hit the first player and anyone can quickly cut them with arrows from a safe distance. This is more than likely something that will be fixed over time, but for now you can take the opportunity to kill spiders with ease in multiplayer.
