How to beat: Arachnomorph
Stay mobile, because arachnomorphs spit webs that stop Geralt in his tracks and then rush in to attack, though you can still parry their fast attacks while tangled. They attack together when they have the upper hand and retreat quickly as soon as you strike back, so do not chase a single spider, and slow them down one by one instead. Yrden is especially useful, as it paralyzes arachnomorphs caught inside it, so cast it and let them come to you. Aard and Axii disable them so you can close in, Igni buys time, and Quen blocks the webbing. Coat your silver sword with Insectoid oil, and a Northern Wind bomb can freeze a group in place.
About
Arachnomorphs, which simple folk call monstrous spiders, are large post-Conjunction insectoids related to common spiders. They prefer deep, damp caves and remote swamps and are encountered in Redania and Toussaint. They are so fast that no one can outrun them, and the even more aggressive arachnomorph colossi can devour an ox in seconds.
Loot
Possible drops – not every kill yields all of them.
