Quest information

Objectives

• Destroy the Terrorweb Queen.
• Return to Reaper of the Spawning Pools for your reward.

Reward

• 10,000 Experience

Walkthrough

The Terrorweb Queen spawns in a small passageway accompanied by four Obsidian Guardians. Four Obsidian Guardians, three Skeletons of Dhuum, and four Terrorweb Dryders also spawn on each side of her room, so make sure to take caution when attacking these enemies. The Obsidian Guardians' regular attacks can sometimes knock down foes and they will use wards to defend themselves and the Terrorweb Queen. It is possible to first kill the enemies on one side, then to teleport to a Reaper on the other side of by talking to the Reaper so that it would be easier to defeat the queen when all of her guardians are dead.

It is also possible to simply pull the queen away from the guardians and to complete the quest from one side. She can attack from a long distance so the puller may need to back up further than usual to get her out of the defensive wards.

Dialogue

Initial dialogue

Reaper of the Spawning Pools

"The source of this trouble draws near. The more we turn the tide of battle against the demons, the more desperate they become. It will not be long before a Terrorweb Queen arrives, anxious to strike down that which has destroyed so much of her brood. When she arrives, you must destroy her."

 Accept: "Consider it done."

 Decline: "Perhaps another time."

 Ask: "If you can destroy the Terrorweb Queen, it should stall the demon's attack for a time. Charge forth into the heart of the demon spawning pools and see if you can draw out the Queen."

Reward dialogue

Reaper of the Spawning Pools

"The loss of a queen has staggered the Terrorweb assault. In time, it is clear, Grenth's mastery of the underworld will be fully restored."

Notes

• Consider using spells that do not require a line of sight, and kill the Obsidian Guardians one by one from behind a wall. Note that if you can't interrupt Obsidian Flesh you need to wait until it expires.
• You can also fill the spawning area with traps before taking the quest. By concentrating the traps in one or two corners of this area, you should be able to take out one or two Guardians without any trouble. The queen will most likely survive any such attempts.
• Groups of Charged Blackness pop up in the a broad area around where the Queen spawns if you didn't kill them before accepting the quest.
