Giant Spider Dens are special locations that spawn when a shrine with fungal growth is looted. This corrupted shrine curse makes 3 dens immediately appear across the map, replacing other tiles with their own. They have a chance every day to spawn an aggroed Giant Spider group that chases the player for ~28 days.
Exploring[]
Battling the spiders
The den requires a torch or pumpkin lantern to explore safely, similar to caves.
Entering the cave will trigger combat with a group of giant spiders. If you didn't use a light source, you must succeed a precision roll or you will be ambushed, giving the spiders a free round of attacks. The number of spiders depends on the difficulty level and expedition number:
| Difficulty | Expeditions 1-3 | Expeditions 4-6 |
|---|---|---|
| Tourist Trip | 2 spiders | 2 spiders |
| Expedition | 3 spiders | 4 spiders |
| Certain Death | 4 spiders | 5 spiders |
Defeating the spiders halts spawns from that den. There is also a very rare chance upon the spiders' defeat that a portal to a Corrupted World will be opened.
