Troll & Spider Caves

Spider Cave

The Spider Cave is incredibly vast and contains many entrances, exits, rooms and levels. I will only cover the first entrance, as the second entrance leads to the Troll Cave and the third makes up a massive system that gives us a completely useless place with massive gaps.

The Main Entrance
Contains 2 Wolves and 3 Spiders, there are a few Wolves from the East and Spiders to the West that might be lured. Either take it full on or very slowly move towards the entrance.

Below The Main Entrance
You fall down the left hole from The Main Entrance. The hole to the bottom of the map is the part of the Spider Cave i will not get into, along with the pathway to the right which leads into the Troll Cave. The only part i'm getting into is the middle hole.

When you drop down the hole, there's 1 Poison Spider right there.

The Second Level Below Surface
When you drop down the middle hole, there are 3 Poison Spiders and 1 Spider at the hole, just fight them as quick as you can. At the hole to the left there are 2 Spiders, again they are very weak so just fight them off. To the north on the left side there are poison fields, these lead to the Salmon Quest although there is a safer route on the right side. Slightly above the poison fields on the right side is 1 Poison Spider, then at the very top at the hole there are 3 Spiders. If you want to verse two at a time, move to a part of the hallway where 2 spiders are in front of you, blocking the third.


The Third Level Below Surface
If you go to the very north of the Second Level Below Surface, you'll drop at the middle right hole. Be prepared to fight a Poison Spider, there are also another 2 Poison Spiders to the left, although you have to move west to attract them. The only strategy is to go full out at them. The middle left hole goes up to the Second Level Below Surface's North-West hole.

If you go down the south-west hole on the Second Level Below Surface, you'll fall down to the map below. There are 3 Poison Spiders in the pocket to the right. The best way to fight the, is to lure them out to the entrance of that room where only 1 Poison Spider can fight you at a time, do not follow them back in when they're red or you'll be attacked by 2.

The last hole on the Third Level Below Surface is a very long road which leads to the Salmon Quest (you give Salmon to Amber in exchange for part of the Orcish Language).

The Fourth Level Below Surface
If you go through the first part of The Third Level Below Surface and take the hole on the far East, then you will fall down to this area. There are 3 Skeletons, although alot of pillars that you can use to block the third Skeleton. Just moving a Skeleton you can keep it in your range and keep the third Skeleton out of it by running through where the Skeleton was.

The is a very long path (takes 1-2 minutes to walk) although is the route for the Salmon Quest. There are no creatures here.

If you go to the South-West hole on the Second Level Below Surface, there are 3 Poison Spiders to the East, although if you go West there is a hole. Fall down that hole and you will end up here. There are two Poison Spiders along this medium path although they are spaced out so it is no trouble to fight them 1v1. There is a hole that goes deeper although that is the beginning of the complex system that leads to the Village of Novus.

This is the Salmon Quest, If you take the long path, you will go down to the Middle of the three rooms. But if you go up the stairs of the middle room you will be up to the top of all of them. This floor contains 1 Skeleton so requires no strategy.


The Fifth Level Below Surface
The middle room for the Salmon Quest. There are no creatures here.


The Sixth Level Below Surface
The bottom of the Spider Cave, It is the quest room for the Salmon Quest and contains 2 Skeletons. The only method is the simple strategy of running around one Skeleton so that the other Skeleton will not always hit you. There are two boxes in the centre of the room that contain the quest rewards.
