Why Idle This?
- Error creating thumbnail: File missingLair of the Spider Queen is mainly cleared for the
Royal Toxins Spear as it provides very generous damage boosts, and also provides an additional damage boost for when the enemy is poisoned. - The only other drop you can get from the dungeon is
Spider Queen Eggs used for making the 
Spider Summoning Tablets. - The pet from the dungeon,
Webbie also reduces your attack speed by 0.1s, which is incredibly useful in many ways.
Dungeon Mechanics
Like most dungeons,
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Lair of the Spider Queen has many weaker enemies before sending the strongest enemy at you, which in this case is 
Spider Queen. Normally, you would pick a specific combat style to fight the enemies to get the full advantage of the combat triangle, but in this dungeon, you can't. The Spider Queen has a unique mechanic where they will have a random combat triangle each time. Similarly, the 19 weaker enemies before it are randomized in a way which again, makes the combat styles random. This part isn't very important since the heavy hitter in the dungeon is the last enemy. Since the random combat style gimmick is the only reason this dungeon is difficult to many, it is actually rather simple to manually clear.
