Phase Spider Matriarch | Baldurs Gate 3 Wiki

In a fight I pushed her into a few of the holes 3 times. Each time she teleported back up and healed for any damage dealt. They must have removed the one shot achievement

Submit

on honor mode killed her with enraged throw karlach and no exp?!@!!!#@@!

Submit

On honor mode I knocked her into the chasm and it reappeared with 1 health.
IDK how I did this.

Submit

Looks like you can't knock her into the underdark pit anymore, I just tried and she just teleported back.

Submit

This thing just ended my Honour Mode run and idk how. I was wildshaped into a bear with full HP and in 1 hit I was dead. Not knocked down, DEAD. So, beware of spiders I guess

Submit

Honor Mode: She get's a legendary reaction. When one of her children is hurt(Or killed, I can't remember, sorry), she can USE A REACTION to bind the target in webs. The target is effectively incapacitated, and if left in the cocoon for 3(4?) turns, will be killed. The webs can be removed by damaging the target.
Tip: Dropping her via webs is still the optimal strat. Clearing her babies is important, just have your weakest attack clear the webs if you fail the save. Have your highest dex/str(save needs confirming) character kill the first add per turn and have fun.

Submit

It's quite easy to drop her into Undredark, but you won't get exp - payback for an easy kill. Her corpse can be looted in the Underdark.

Submit

Would someone kindly post what happens if you try use speak with animals in her/they/them?

Submit

If you use non-lethal attacks, she won't drop her robe.

Submit

Lol if you stand on the web above the giant crater/hole and cut the web. You get a cool little cut scene and wind up in the underdark. Then... well just make to save right before trying it lol

Submit

That boss is stoopid. I mean it's not hard to kill by any means, but if you are not killing it on first turn, it will waste alot of your time by jumping around with misty step even blinded.

Submit

Cast Minor Illusion in the middle of the web across one side of the Underdark shaft, and she's got a pretty good chance of falling down the hole. Might take a few casts before she notices.

Submit

Casting Fire bolt on the web bridges while the matriarch is on there deals huge chunkc of damage, and unlike the matriarch herself, the webs are actually able to be hit

Submit

Looks like they've changed things, you can no longer push her back with Eldritch Blast for the easy kill

Submit

Warning: trying to "hello fellow spiders" with your druid will only get you jumped.

Submit

Very important info : matriarch MUST be killed normal way BUT AFTER she summons little phase spiders. Phase spiders can be picked up and then thrown to the ground multiple times until they ooze simple toxin pool , you can then dip weapons outside of combat in this pool to have a permanent 1d4 on your weapons until long rest. Thing is regular phase spiders are a bit too heavy, with 16 strength(+3 modifier) they can't be picked up... and at that point in the game... BUT the little phase spider summons from matriarch are weighting only 1 kg , so grab em, stash em, dip em! every day for a free 1d4 on all weapons on all your party. Besides killing it regular way awards both exp&loot, something to consider.

Submit

You can knock it off into the chasm w/ Eldrich blast for a 1 shot, 250 xp.

Submit

How much XP is she worth? Can anyone confirm?

Submit

just burn the spider web walkways when she is standing on them and she loves to do that. it takes nearly 1/3 of her health for each fall.
Try to be careful tho. When she drops to the "Chasm" you can say farewell to the Chest armor loot.

Submit

You can still loot her if you knock her in the pit, her body falls down in the underdark a bit below the Myconid Colony. Just cam across her, and nearly jumped out of my skin thinking it was another i had to fight haha.

Submit

Used knockback arrow, glad to see she drops a shitty robe.

Submit

Opening the book as Shadowheart, gives an option for a DC10 Wisdom save for the last page as opposed to 20 with other characters.

Submit

In my case she didn't hatch spiders, I didn't destroy any on the arena before the fight, but destroyed every in the area prior to the boss. To initiate fight from the distence with Astarion, it took several arrows and 1/4 of matriarch HP until she finally responded and immedeately attacked my group without going to her eggs. Her position was on the second floor, near south island.

Submit

Did all out of combat with Astarion Level 3 solo: matriach appeard and hatched 5 spiders, i flew with the group and full rested one night. Came back and try to fight her, but this ends bad. So, i took Astarion let destroy him the most eggs with oil/fire, burn two webs and some spiderlings with fire arrow included the matriarch sit on one these and falls on the next ground. Startet turn based battle, one hit a middle spider with stealth arrow and the rest of the fight from higher point was: Fire arrow-hide-turn end-repeat. The only reaction from the spiders saying: husch and shh, but they dont move. So all died slowly with fire arrow, think they was buggy not sure.

Submit

is it possible that she dissapeared? i was fighting her and after killing the spiderlings she just disappeared

Submit

BRO YOU CAN RESSURRECT HER FOR YOUR TEAM if u push her down the pit and then use Sovereign Glutt to resurrect her

Submit

I don't know if I caught a bug or something, but I got XP for killing her with fall damage. Difference is I knocked her out not into the central pit, but into the pit near where you enter this area. I used Monk's Furry of Blows: Push. She flew away into that pit, died, but didn't dissapear. Her corpse was kinda floating. Got XP but no loot. So I killed her normally after that.

Submit

Baited her on the web on which I previously set up a oil barrel, blasted the barrel with a basic fire cantrip. She took 40 from the barrel then fell down the pit for another 60 plus went prone, my melee guys were waiting for her there. So around 130 dmg on the first round. It made the fight a breeze on tactican. For anyone struggling. Cheers

Submit

I killed her using Eldrich blast by Wyll. Did not realize I could do this haha. Hopefully I can find her corpse and loot as it says in the description.

Submit

no loot from her killed her legit

Submit

There's a bottomless pit behind her. If you don't care about the loot, you can push her off the web bridge into the pit. This will get you an achievement for killing her before she can hatch any eggs.

Submit

Don't long rest before looting her or there's a chance her body will despawn.

Submit

Just beat her. No loot! I really wanted those robes!

Submit

Or just have Wyll with Repelling Blast and knock it off to the chasm with eldritch blast. It is doable when the queen phases to the eggs on the lower floor.

Submit

Thunderwave is just op in this fight

Submit

If you happen to have a vial of Drow Poison, you can take an archer like Asterion and snipe the phase spiders from outside of combat. If they fail the save against the sleep, they don't throw you into combat, potentially allowing you to kill them both before you even engage the matriarch.

Submit

I fought her head on with the help of the ogre war horn, since I had just made a deal they could eat what we killed together. Made quick work of the boss even with my guys only being level 3 :)

Submit

I blasted her off a cliff and oneshotted her with thunderwave.

Submit

I used an eldritch blast and attacked her before the combat started. I have the knockback effect in my eldritch blast. It sent her flying into the abyss one shotting her. I came here wondering if she had any special items she dropped.

Submit

Здравствуйте, я хотел бы поделиться интересный моментом который нашел. Я не знаю мем это но это интересный факт. Если убить Фазового паука-матриарха следующим способ, кинуть ее шепчущую бездну то она ОКАЗЫВАЕТСЯ упадет в руины круги. То есть это пезда связанная как с руинами. Я уверен это она так как она единственный паук на локации (вообще не каких ни мертвых, ни живых), плюс лут и герой говорит что она упала с высокой высоты и сломала все кости.

Submit

The way I approached the fight on Tactician using a Level 3 party

(Optional?) Destroy all the eggs on the top floor so that the Matriarch teleports to the bottom eggs to pop them when you start the fight
1. Pull the extra Phase Spiders using a solo ranged character while your entire party is waiting back in the cave, I sat them next to the little camp section
2. Dash all the way back to your party while not leaving the fight (just don't run too far all at once). This will pull the Phase Spiders but not the Matriarch, as it just chills in the lower area.
3. Kill the Phase Spiders
4. Fight is now reset except w/o the extra Phase Spiders
5. Zone out and zone back in using any of the doors or the well bucket, this will reset the Matriarch back to the top area
6. When it starts running around the web paths on the far side, start the fight using a fire cantrip or ranged attack to destroy the path, the drop will do about 50 to 60 damage each.
7. You want to immediately break up your party and spread out your members to avoid the huge poison AoE when it teleports back up, preferably sitting them near the two other web paths.
8. The Matriarch will teleport back up, do some attack, and then run back to one of the web paths. Drop it again with some spell/attack.
9. When it teleports back up, finish it off with regular combat. The most important thing is that you do not want to finish it off with fall damage, you will not get the exp (a pretty hefty 250 for the party). Enjoy your poison robe and dark amethyst.

Spiritual Weapon on Shadowheart is amazing for tanking the little spiders because it's immune to poison damage and you can summon it as close as you want to them.

Submit

Fought her last night with my party still level 3. Honestly got really scary near the end. The plan was to assassinate the 2 normies nearby before the fight, and it worked. But the first hits on the matriarch were misses and we ended with sub 10 hp on everybody. I probably spent a good 20 minutes on planning out the fight as she cycled through her layer lol.(Balanced)

Submit

Somehow for me the spider fell into the hole on its own. I dont remember exactly what happened, i just thought the she teleported to some web out of sight, and i was dealing with the small spiders so i forgot about her, I then finished the small spiders, and she's no where to be found. Then i jumped down the hole and found her corpse with the poison robe. Weird

Submit

Killing her with fall damage or throwint down the underdark denies all XP tough, and she rewards 150 XP pretty early in the game.

Submit

As of patch#8, she falls from destroyed webs again. Also, shoving her down the central cavern hole now causes her lootable corpse to be found in the Underdark at the spot where you land if you featherfall down the hole.

Submit

As of Patch #7 - Version Number: 4.1.1.1466805 - destroying the spider webs no longer causes the matriarch to fall. She will remain suspended in mid air and continue her attacks.

Submit

Just had this happen in my game. Used a void bulb near the matriarch and it pulled her into the pit in the center. Sure we lost out on the loot, but it was just too funny.

Submit

Sleep is your friend in dealing with the little spider swarms that she summons. Gale put to sleep 2 full groups of those, which is huge b/c they distract you from focusing on the big mama.

Submit

the cobweb walkways don't seem to be destroyed by burning hands, so if you wanna use the "destroy walkways to inflict fall damage" you should avoid using that spell. instead use fire bolt or a burning torch as a mace and attack the walkway. the matriarch also seems to be able to notice you walking on any of the cobweb walkways before initiating combat.

Submit

If you are having problems beating her you can stealth or sneak up to most of the eggs and destroy them before the fight starts. The spider webs have 4 hp and if you knock down the webs when the matriarch is on it she will take a ton of fall damage.
