How to Fight a Venomous Arachas

How to Fight

The best way to fight with a Venemous Arachas is to drink a Golden Oriole Potion and throwing bombs at it. Throw bombs like the Grapeshot Bomb to damage it or Dancing Star Bombs and Northern Wind Bombs to afflict it with a negative status and give yourself an opening to attack. Once the poison empties from its abdomen, it is now safe to do close combat without the help of the bombs.

What Preparations to Make?

You should use your Silver Sword and coat it with Insectoid oil to deal bonus damage to them. Prepare the Golden Oriole potions and multiple bombs to damage it from afar.
