Giant Spiders are some of the most terrifying of Mount Grimrock's creatures, if not for their venom, then for their fearsome appearance and propensity for sneaking up behind their prey. Tread with caution whenever you see them or their eggs.

Strategy: Giant Spiders are the first truly deadly enemy. Encountered on Level 3, you'll have to crawl through dungeons positively infested by them. From then on, they become an infrequent but always-deadly foe. Aside from their quick movement and fast attack speed, their poison bite can cause huge amounts of pain over the long term. Moreover, they are almost entirely silent as they move, and tend attack from behind. Your best option is usually to use hit-and-run tactics, as well as ranged attacks, because getting surrounded by them usually means death.
