How to Beat Arachsiam

How to Beat Arachsiam
Bring a Ton of Supplies Fight From a Distance Dodge Web Attacks Shoot the Eggs

Bring a Ton of Supplies

Before attempting to fight Arachsiam, we highly recommend crafting a ton of supplies which include ammo, activators, and adrenaline shots.

This boss fight can get long and will require you to shoot a lot so it would be best to craft at least 2000 ammo for your rifle, 300 ammo for your pistol, and 20 activators as this gives you enough resources.

Fight From a Distance

Arachsiam's attacks can easily bring your health to half in an instant so it would be best to keep your distance as this gives you time to react. When Arachsiam gets close, dodge to the side and attack its weakspots to deal damage efficiently.

Dodge Web Attacks

Arachsiam has three web attacks that can immobilize you and put you in a vulnerable spot. Keep an eye on its web attacks and dodge accordingly to avoid getting webbed up.

Shoot the Eggs When Immune

Arachsiam can become immune to damage by climbing to the top of the pillar. To remove its immunity, you will need to shoot the spider eggs at the end of the web bridges.

Do note that while Arachsiam is perched on the pillar it can still attack you with web projectiles so listen for sound cues and look at Arachsiam to know when to dodge.

Arachsiam Attack Patterns

Arachsiam Attack Patterns
Web Pull Web Projectiles Mist Spider Eggs Jump Attack Rushing Attack

Web Pull

Arachsiam will shoot a web that will put you towards it. While webbed, you cannot move or use attacks. This can be very difficult to dodge and it will almost always connect so just be ready to roll out after the web is removed.

Web Projectiles

Arachsiam throws out webs from above and lands on the ground. If you get hit by the web or step into it, you will be wrapped in web for a few seconds. It would be best to dodge these as they land then make your way to another part of the playing area to avoid stepping on them.

Mist

While this attack doesn't damage you, it reduces visibility by a lot and can leave you vulnerable to surprise attacks. Before the mist fully envelops the area, keep attacking Arachsiam to maintain visibility.

Spider Eggs

In addition to the spider eggs across the web bridges, Arachsiam can also lay eggs on the battlefield however these eggs won't spawn spirderlings until you get close to it.

We recommend that you destroy the eggs as soon as they spawn so you can keep the area clean and focus fighting Arachsiam.

Jump Attack

Arachsiam jumps in the air and lands in a target area, dealing damage to anything caught underneath it. This move is well telegraphed and gives you an opportunity to time your roll and dodge away from it.

Rushing Attack

Arachsiam rushes towards you and deals damage. Similar to the jump attack, you can wait for Arachsiam to get close and roll out of the way to dodge this attack.
