Like most dungeons, {{ZoneIcon|Lair of the Spider Queen}} has many weaker enemies before sending the strongest enemy at you, which in this case is {{MonsterIcon|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. {{MonsterIcon|Spider Queen|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 randomised 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.

This is the first {{TotH}}[[Throne of the Herald Expansion]] dungeon where an idle setup for the first clear is near '''impossible'''. Stats will be capped at 108 and you'll need 110 for the next big upgrades. Seeing as focusing on skilling should be avoided as much as possible, dungeon/dropped gear is as good as it gets.
