Seriously, Spiders totally got an upgrade from Dragon Age Origins and Awakening. I thought the Thaig Crawlers were bad, then I saw the Poisoned Spiders in DA2 and thought "well those look worse than the first ones". Then I hit the Deep Roads.



HOLY CRAP! That thing is clearly not of The Maker. I'm pretty sure that thing even spooks The Maker when he is attempting to fill up his tub for a bath.

Of all the optional Boss Fights in Dragon Age 2, the only thing optional about that fight ('cause I mean c'mon there are chests, a set of stairs, and unopened door just sitting there tempting any Rogue, Warrior, or enterprising Mage) is whether or not you've scotch guarded your couch or computer chair properly.

The only thing that makes that fight even more horrifying is the damn Monstrous Spider's ability to call down more Spiders. Thats like if the Shark from Jaws showed up and it bit your leg off and that only caused MORE SHARKS to show up.

Anywho, here is the thread where you can post about your own Giant Spider experiences and reaction to seeing the T-Virus run amok in Thedas world of Arachinids.

I hated that fight.

[leggywillow]

The worst thing is that they always seem to spawn behind me or out of the camera's view.  So I just go "Okay, spiders coming from the ceiling.  Typical spider fight, no problem.  Let me turn around and---WAHHHHFHFASLKJFCMLKASHFW!!!!"

[UltiPup]

I remember my first or second time with that beast. My basic reaction mid fight.

"oh **** when did Fenris die?"

[Inujade]

I wasn't facing the Monstrous Spider when I found it. I was picking off (relatively) normal spiders with my weak sauce mage, thinking I was done when the last one fell.

Then I turned around.

Yeah, this!  I think I actually jumped out of my chair.

Also, the thread title makes me think this should have happened:

Varric: So we found this monstrous spider.  It was larger than an ogre, with fangs as tall as I am!
Cassandra: That's unbelievable!  What happened next?
Varric: We turned around and got the hell outta there.  Told Bartrand to screw himself and headed back to Kirkwall.  No treasure was worth that kind of nightmare.
Cassandra: Wait, so you never even found the idol?!
Varric: Nope.  Bartrand and Meredith never went crazy; everything was fine.
Cassandra: Then what am I doing here?
Varric: Ripple in the space-time continuum, maybe?
Cassandra: Oh sh-- ::vanishes::

[Esbatty]

Cassandra: So - what was behind the door after you slew the Monstrous Spider?
Varric: A chest.
Cassandra: Another chest?
Varric: Yes, another chest. But this one held a special Maul.
Cassandra: Ooh.
Varric: And torn trousers.
Cassandra: Ah, that - that appears to have been not such a great reward considering the Monstrous Spider did not drop upon until you set foot on the stairs.

OH GOD GET RID OF THE PICTURE, GET IT AWAY , GET IT AWAY.

*sobs*

Srsly. Don't shock me with that. Okay, not a big shock. It was named after huge spiders. And, yes, worst thing ever, stuff popping from right behind the camera, right out of the top of my screen.

He looks like a "Larry" to me.

It doesn't help that by the time you've noticed it, it's hit you five times for about 400% of your health per hit.

Me: STEALTH! STEALTH! STEALTH, OH GOD I'M PLAYING A MAGE!
*Aveline keels over*
Me: SH*T! SH*T! DOG! DOG! SWEET TINY JEEBUS SPAWN DOG, SPAWN!
*Merrill falls*
Me: SOMEONE DRINK A DAMN HEALTH POTION!

I was so glad I was playing a mage because I was not about to tank that thing up front.

[cinderburster]

I've had a couple of "OHFFFFFUUU--" moments with the spiders. The first time I was just happily exploring, not expecting anything, and then all of a sudden SPIDERS FROM THE SKY. I jumped about two inches in my seat, I swear.

The other, I had just finished killing a queen spider in one of the caves, and after exploring I was heading back. Forgot that the corpse was there, ran head-long into it, and went "OHSHI--oh. It's dead. Ha ha ha! *pokes with a stick*"

It's super sensitive to aggro, at least, I thought. I ran away to breathe and left the companions on good tactics, let them smack it for awhile, then started shooting magic at it ...

Then suddenly it went: WHAT'S THAT HITTING ME, MY BACKSIDE FEELS WARM. And it went after me. I'd like to think I didn't sound like a little girl when I ran away, but I know saying otherwise would be lying.

So I ran up the stairs and prayed it wouldn't fit. Oh, Christ.

[DeaHamlet]

Every single time in was in any cave and the spiders would suddenly ambush me... I jumped in my seat! Even on my 3rd playthrough I'm still jumping in my seat!!!! It's terrifying and the noise they make is so startling... and they are SO ugly. Ugly!
And yes, they are surprisingly deadly. wave after wave of demons and arcane horror and whatever else while doing the forbidden knowledge quest was nothing compared to spiders. Damn spiders!!!

[DeaHamlet]

A mage can always accumulate a ton of threat, they do plenty of damage with spells, and AOE in particular gets monster's attention. A poor warrior cannot accumulate as much going one by one at times...
At least rogues get talents to remove threat. Mages... nothing. No stealth, nada. Thank gawd for rock armor!

[Sabariel]

I hate the "Warp (?) Spiders" more. I don't know if that's their actual name because I can't really read the in-game text, but that's what it looked like. Anyway, I hate those spiders more than the Monstrous Spiders, but yes... I actually screamed when that thing dropped down on Hawke's head the first time XD

[Kawamura]

Wasp.

Wasp spiders.

They're wasp spiders.

The funny thing about that is that when combat gets particularly messy and there are guys running around everywhere, I have definitely caught myself attacking Merrill because she looked like an enemy in her rock armor.  Oops.

I just -- remember very clearly from the first time I saw one.

Spiders. Why does it always have to be spiders? Argggagh.

[Esbatty]

I remember reading the name "Wasp Spider" and thinking "Great now they can fly. ITS IN MY HAIR!"

Why can't it ever be butterflies?

[Emperor Iaius I]

The only thing I dislike about the spiders is--as somebody else said--how they jump out at you in caves. Once I'm done leaping from my seat, I have little problem with looking at them.
