Spiders - Hogwarts Legacy Database

Small spiders that can be found in most caverns in The Highlands. Despite appearing on the radar, these spiders offer no threat and will simply scuttle away. Instead, you should take the appearance of Baby Spiders to mean that more deadlier spiders lurk just around the corner.

The Acromantula is an incredible aggressive spider that will keep on your heels at all times during the battle, trying to snap away at you. They often come along with many other regular spiders, so look to deal with them first before handling the Acromantula, an Edurius Potion may be useful here.

You’ll encounter an Acromantula during the Plight of the House Elf Side Quest for Deek.

These spiders try to keep as far away as possible and shoot webs to incapacitate their prey. While airborne, their unprotected bellies are exposed, making them vulnerable to follow-up damage.

These massive spiders are far more aggressive than the lesser spiders and as such, you’ll need to be on your toes at all times when fighting against them. Look for when they rear up and attempt to bite you and follow up with Descendo to catch it off guard.

These spiders prefer to attack from a distance, spitting acidic venom. Striking it with a fire spell as it prepares to attack with acidic venom will ignite the spider.

When these spiders begin to burrow, Flipendo will rip them out of the ground, dealing massive damage.

Its venomous attacks will poison the target, dealing damage over time, but Wiggenweld Potion will stop the poison from dealing further damage, allowing you to heal.

These deal light damage, but that can add up quickly when a swarm of them attack relentlessly.

These are easily defeated by almost any attack and will even die when they strike a simple Shield Charm.

Its venomous attacks will poison the target, dealing damage over time, but Wiggenweld Potion will stop the poison from dealing further damage, allowing you to heal.

Unlike other spiders, these spiders instead will keep their distance to spit acidic venom at their targets. As such, whenever you encounter a group of spiders, look for the Shooters first as they will chip away at your health while you deal with the greater threats.

Spells such as Accio are great here, pulling them toward you and then unleashing a flame spell be it Incendio or Confringo to deal heavy damage to them (and all spiders). If you are struck, you will be poisoned, taking damage over time but using a Wiggenweld Potion will neutralize it.

All types of magic spiders are quite vulnerable to fire, especially at low health.

Fire attacks will the spider while it is low on health, causing it to skitter about frantically before it dies. If it takes further damage before it dies, it will explode, hitting nearby targets.

When these spiders begin to burrow, Filipendo will rip them out of the ground, dealing massive damage.

This monstrosity rears up as it is about to strike its target with a powerful bite that breaks through Shield Charms. The most obvious defence is to dodge out of the way.

As it rears up, ripping it downward with Descendo will catch it off guard.

These are more of a nuisance than anything else. As a collective they are not a big deal, but if you are in the middle of a larger fight and suddenly have to contend with a new group of enemies, it could potentially turn the tide against you.

They spawn in spider sacs, which if you steer well clear of them it is where they will remain, but if you accidentally shoot one, or even step to close it will open up and spawn these mini spiders who will scurry around and attack you from all angles.
