How To: Defeating the Giant Spider Boss in Act 1
Use the following strategy to defeat the Giant Spider as well as many other enemies who only have a straight "charge" style attack (for example, the Pig-Bears that the Goblins unleash just outside the Goblin cave). If you are able to stun them, such as with a poison, fire, or disease attack that causes them to lurch with the after-effects, then this becomes much easier. Walk alongside the creature, and hold the Analog-stick so that you are moving toward the back of the creature, but also slightly away. Swinging your weapon will turn you slightly to face your enemy; do not worry about being unable to hit. If you do this, and keep walking at an angle and swinging, even an Erudite can kill one of these creatures without getting hit. If you done correctly, the creature will keep attacking where you had been during your last swing and it will turn to keep up. Thus, it will turn in circles trying to catch you while you are casually walking in a circle taking its health out. This will require a few attempts, and if you get tag-teamed, you must alter your tactics and possibly run away to come around the other side. However, it is always possible to take on even three of these creatures at once without getting hit, since they have no area attacks.
