In order to help get my grandmaster title i had to use consume corpse to get to the area behind her, i soon found that getting her to die was actually quite difficult since she easily takes out all the spiders aside from the boss and they cant out damage her heals. After a few attempts i discovered a nice build for my ranger to get her to die:

Ranger / Necromancer
13 Beast mastery
11 Wilderness Survival
10 Expertise or higher
6 Marksmanship
1 Death
(note: in this build I had a major rune of Expertise and marksmanship and a minor rune in Wilderness and Beast, and a Mask of Marksmanship also, u may not require these runes.)

A staff is recomended for increase in energy, a +20 one if possible but its not a necessity since Expertise will drop the skill costs drastically

Lacerate [E] -when used a second time creates bleed on Evenia and then increases the degen
Favourable Winds -increases the spiders attacks
Winnowing -increases the spiders attacks
Toxicity -increases the effects of poison the spiders use
Predatory Season - reduces her self heals and keeps the spiders alives
Troll -to keep u alive
Res -to help ur party out if things get rough on the way to Evenia
Consume corpse -to teleport to her corpse ofc


For any of you who have forgotten or who don’t know the route this is the route to Evenia on the Wilds mission:


Note u will be fairly useless until u get to Evenia but heros, henchies or players with u can deal with the easy enemies until u get passed the cutscene. After which they move a suitable distance away so not to agro the spiders even if u pull them back slightly (to get Evenia to be targetted easier)


Use consume corpse to use up all the corpses to make sure u wont go through them all after Evenia dies.


Evenia makes a good tank at this point, allowing u to kill off the 1st 2 waves solo.



When the boss wave spawns, consisting of Kezra Spindleweb. Make sure they can all hit evenia. If they cant agro them onto u on purpose and pull them slightly away from Evenia which allows her to move into a spot more easily hit and the spiders to a better angle.

Now back off up the ramp close enough for the spirits to take effect but not close enough to agro the spiders. Drop the spirits in this order roughly:

Lacerate, Favorable Winds, Winnowing, Predatory Season, Toxicity (by this point she should be getting continous degen. Then drop a new Lacerate, Importantly time this so when u drop it she is below 90% hp, this way she will gain another -4 degen, the degen will make her suffer badly and combined with predatory season she wont be able to outheal the spiders like normal.


If any of the spirits begins to fade, redrop them asap, and make sure each time Lacerate is sropped when she is less than 90% hp. Keep Predatory season up to help keep the spiders healthy. You can still get her killed with just the boss remaining however it take much longer so the longer u keep the other 2 spiders alive the better.


Once she is down run by the spiders use consume and make ur way up to her corpse. Heal up by standing next to Markis and Saidra who cast Heal Area if uve been poisoned on the way up there.


And now your free to explore the little area behind her.


Good luck. And hers a little wave from me


I dont know if there is any other methods to get her to die but i would be interested to know how other people have done i in the past.

I've never tried this but if you want to become an ele and have factions you could try using their Ride the Lightning. i've used it on the Dunes of despair mission and was able to teleport to the first sand wurm before the door was opened (was pretty cool). I find it's useful in getting to live monsters if you're having trouble killing them.

I think the OP meant something around the Jungle missions. (btw..maybe I'm not looking hard enough but I didn't see any reference to the Ice Caves in the OP)

Oh nice trick! I tried to get her killed back in the days but I didn't suceed - she outheals the spiders alone. I'll try again with Toxicity and Predatory Season

Is there much to explore?

PS: he's talking about The Wilds.

Yeah im talking about the Wilds mission at the end of the level when your meant to protect the chosen from the spiders

unfortuanally there isnt very much to explore there but every little bit counts when trying to get from 99 -> 100%

As far as i know neither of these work since u cant walk to that spot normally and shadow steping only works to areas that are reachable, else u just shadowstep to the wall. i could be wrong about this but from my experience with my assassin this is true.

Haha, that's very creative. Never heard of anyone even trying to get her killed there.

I thought it was impossible to get her killed here, if you can do it please post screenshots of yourself in the camp behind her.

Edit: could you use EoE so that henchmen dying hurts her? Or is she another NPC that isn't human.

Not really much to explore there (was rly disappointed when getting there my first time as it took quite long >.<)...another way how to get her killed is to take max or near max lvl Symbiosis and then 6 enchantment spells (or with heroes just put 4 ench/hero). She wont use Heal Area untill she's near half-health so...let the poison take off the extra health gained from Symb+enchs and let Symbioisis die or take enchantments off then just CC/NT...(and don't use mending/watchful spirit)

P.S. The spiders won't aggro on you forever so when putting enchantments on, Troll Unguent should be enough for selfheal, aggro will go away after you back off to the cliff on other side of the area.

P.P.S. EoE bombing her doesn't work well would need 5 people for the bomb and good timing. Assassins Shadow Stepping won't work because it isn't "real teleporting" but more like "instant moving to target without possible bodyblocks".
