Tarantula Broodfather IV

Mob

Tarantula Broodfather IV is tier IV of the Tarantula Broodfather, the Spider Slayer boss; that page covers how to start the quest and the RNG meter. Its backstab leaps deal 60% extra damage, and it halves your Vitality and Speed while it lives. Its webs at two-thirds and one-third health come with 3 Egg Sacs, and swarms of bats hurt you for 0.1% of your max health while it is immune to magic damage.¹
