[edit] Information
There is an epic achievement that consists in killing Shelox: Achievement: Arachnophobia.
She must be killed in a special way, with a full group working together.
- Lair
Shelox is located inside a cave hidden in northern Gloomy Forest, a bit east of the Bandit Camp.
Just inside the cave are three rooms going north before going down. In the third room there's some cocoons. These can hold either captured players or lots of vicious spiders.
The (giant) vicious spiders are very strong and wander inside the cave, dealing lots of damage and injecting poison. They attack giant fruitbats.
- Acid attacks
She has an area attack:
Queen Shelox rears up and sprays acidic venom across the entire lair! The pair of fawn cotton trousers breaks!
Being wet may help protect against the acidic venom, at least until you dry off.
The acidic venom is diluted on your soaking wet body. You feel dry now. Queen Shelox melts you with her acidic venom! You scream in agony. You collapse into an unconscious heap from the pain.
[edit] Treasure
Defeating Shelox now provides rewards in the form of rare items! (dev blog )
Items reported:
- Spider Yum packet (contains 6 tables that provide a medium strength Bug shield)
- enormous spider carapace (a heavy shield for EFF)
- iron broomstick (better weapon that holds gp for 4 trips but heavier)
- venom-coated dagger (radienced dagger dealing high damage rates and poison but that cannot be repaired)
- webbed baton (faith rod with 3 slots instead of 2 for a bit more weight and harder to charge)
[edit] Announcement
Bulletin Boards: Frog Arachnophobia Note #39 by Jian at Sun Jun 20 13:27:35 2010 [EST] on board frog Word is spreading rapidly across the Ramtops: an elite Lancre Regiment company has been completely lost somewhere in the depths of Gloomy Forest. According to local rumours, a single soldier managed to make it back to town, babbling madly about a monstrously huge spider before succumbing to his own wounds and falling silent. Venture into this darkness at your own peril. You have been warned.

To put a quick reply on this, a new big spider boss called shelox was made and finally killed recently. It was an absolute monstrossity and has to be killed in a special way. It took maybe 15 hours? of trial and fail many many times not totally sure but a long time to do this. it took me, naboo, krylin, inige, chooxen, dialapishe, nirilil and anyone else who helped that i cant remember. thanks!, my best discworld login of all time i think. ps. we maybe would rather you try and figure things out than ask us how to do this:)
