Echidna
The Mother of Monsters — a colossal spider dripping with venom. Echidna is a moderate fight, the next step up from Lamia.
Summoning
- Key: Echidna's Coil — forged automatically when you collect 64 Essence of Echidna, which drops from mid-tier shades, wraiths and caravans. Also sold in the Boss Shop for 7,500 Hunter Points.
- Requirement: Hunter rank T3 (
/hunter). - Summon at her altar via
/bossand enter the portal with your party.
The Fight
Echidna mixes heavy melee with ground hazards. Watch the floor — everything she does is telegraphed in circles.
- Venom Barrage — she rears up and green-ringed circles appear around the arena, then venom rains into them: damage plus poison. Step out before the splash.
- Web Zones — red-ringed circles fill with cobwebs. Get caught and you're webbed in place, weakened and poisoned while she closes in. Don't fight from inside a web.
- Fang Strike — red sparks build around her, then she slams everything nearby with knockback. The closer you stand, the harder it hits — back off during the wind-up.
- Cocoon — twice during the fight she seals herself in a cocoon and floods the arena with broodlings. Kill every broodling within 20 seconds:
- Succeed → the cocoon shatters and she's stunned — your big damage window.
- Fail → the surviving brood triggers a venom flood: a heavy hit, strong poison, and your damage is 50% less for 15 seconds.
