The Plight of the House-Elf Tips and Strategies

Focus on the Acromantula

Hogwarts Legacy Plight of the House-Elf Acromantula

The real damage dealers to the Acromantula are Ancient Magic and Confringo. Use those spells as much as possible, but you can also chip away its health with basic magic attacks.

You'll want to focus on defeating the Acromantula first, since it has a higher level than the other spiders. Though, the other spiders can get annoying to deal with due to their sheer number. However, it's the Acromantula that deals the powerful blows.
