hah, I remember that spider. I returned to the Aleroth Catacombs at lvl 20something with great gear thinking of revenge on the skeleton bosses that I had left behind. I was a little overconfident apparently, and while I plowed through everything else, that spider made short work of me the first time, prompting a reload and the usual cheap tactics.
I'm not saying in any sense that hard is impossible (or even hard, if you're really cautious and have a scorpion army), but that the things you will resort to (it doesn't really get easier till you have 3-4 gold vit charms and maxed resists, and even then you can get 1shotted) seem like things that developers of other games would scramble to wall off, given their deviation in gameplay nature as well as numerical values. Kinda ruins it for me.
