Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback Phase spiders

Anyone have any suggestions for defeating the phase spiders and ettercaps, they just phase to areas I cant seem to be able to shoot at and then sniper me, when did phase spiders become snipers.

Inkblot or Fog generally force them to come to you if you're grouped up and use it on your party. That tends to get them to funnel nicely to you, and if they don't, they'll be missing a lot while you poke in and out to attack them. They also have a tendency to group up on webs, so you could always destroy those so that they take a ton of damage and fall prone. Line of sight abuse is also your friend.

Lure them into a kill zone where movement is difficult for them. In the room with the wall you break the opposite side has a ledge you can jump onto that takes you right to the phase spiders. You can have a character dash and have your ranged hidden with your luring character drawing them into a kill zone. You can do this with the tunnel you walk into the spiders lair but I had glitches doing this.


In my case I had a rogue hiding hiding in the upper ledge are and they pushed the spider into the blacksmith area as my fighter jumped down. My warlock and mage summarily executed one by getting into combat with two spells chunk health off and the spider only got one attack off.

They teleport only in between their webs. So... ninja-destroy all their webs, and they will be forced to fight you openly.
