Dreadskitter is an enormous spider that lurks in the ruined areas of the Doorward Underhalls.
Abilities
Silk Spray — Sprays a cloud of silk in a cone. Players standing in the cone receive a stacking debuff every second, slowing their movement speed by 20% with every stack. If it reaches 5 stacks, players become wrapped up in a cocoon and be unable to act. A swarm of tiny spiders will immediately spawn and begin attacking the cocooned player. Cocooned players must be cut free by their allies.
Skitterleap — Charges a random target, dealing them a burst of physical damage.
Dreadful Venom — Inflicts a burst of nature damage to the target and places the Dreadful Venom debuff on them. Dreadful Venom increases damage taken by Skitterleap. Lasts for 10 seconds.
Frenzy — Increases Dreadskitter's damage and attack power. Used when health reaches 20&.
Strategy
At the entrance to Dreadskitter's Burrow, the mad dwarf Maynard Freefoot will be seen wandering aimlessly. Upon spying the players, he will race off into the darkness, carrying one of the two keys needed to unlock the Temple of Lucid Dreaming. Players must persue him through Dreadskitter's Burrow, a tunnel filled with continuously spawning spider monsters. Staying still is suicide, so players must keep moving and make it through the tunnel before the spiders overwhelm them.
Upon making it through the tunnel, players will confront the insane Maynard, seconds before Dreadskitter emerges from the shadows and kills him, devouring the temple key. Players will then engage Dreadskitter, who uses all of his abilities throughout the encounter until slain.
Heroic Mode Changes
- Dreadful Venom lasts the entire duration of the encounter, and stacks up to 99.
- Dreadskitter will frenzy at 30% health instead of 20%.
- In addition to the tiny spiders spawned when a player is cocooned, larger Venom-Bloated Spiders will spawn. When slain, they spray all nearby targets with venom, dealing a burst of nature damage and additional nature damage over 5 seconds.
Achievement
- One Skitter Quitter - Persue Maynard Freefoot through Dreadskitter's Burrow in less than a minute and slay Dreadskitter.
