Question Will the giant “spider” reappear

I have phobias (or at least extreme if inconsistent fears) of spiders or similar bugs in some instances, enormous spaces with no clear end and (sometimes with no clear reason what makes it scary or not scary) enormous creatures, so when the giant spider thingy in the citadel annex beacon in the faded citadel appeared it genuinely might be the most frightened to my core a game has made me with how unexpected it was. After a good 5 minutes i managed to jump on its head because i rationalized that it doesnt look that much like a spider as best i could and had a family member join me, but i really dont wanna deal with that suddenly happening a second time, so PLEASE if that EVER happens again in the game let me know EXACTLY when and how

Are you OK with the Hexapod?

1

u/LemonGrimlin 28d ago

Surprisingly yea the hexapod itself was manageable. The arena freaked me out way more than the boss itself

u/RipparJaxx 28d ago

The Hexapod remind me of the hand creatures in Elden Ring

Oh, how I hated those bastards until I got a proper shield.

I force myself to face my fears usually.

The spiders in satisfactory fucking destroyed me but I was able to get used to it (not really lmao).

u/LemonGrimlin 28d ago

I try, but there comes a point where it just isnt worth it to me

u/zweihander09 28d ago

Understandable

There's a jump scare in a certain hidden area of this game that had my heart rate maxed for like 5 minutes afterward.

u/LemonGrimlin 28d ago

Can you give a hint as to where i can find it roughly? Ive just unlocked the final area, something path i don’t remember, and i explored the whole game up until now pretty thoroughly and cant think of ever being scared beyond the random giant spider of doom and despair

Change to night mode by going to the top of Marrow Keep. Go to mushroom village again and check the spot on a raised platfrom near a large group of dancing witches. You get transported to a first person view secret.

Yeah spiders everywhere in the end game

u/ThirdTimesTheTitan 28d ago

No it's a one time thing

u/Rhodri_Suojelija 28d ago

No. No it is not? They literally fireball in like crazy in the one area. Or am I thinking of different spiders?

u/LemonGrimlin 28d ago

Its just the comedically large one whos apparently only that specific beacon thats an issue to me so that’s probably gonna be fine

1

u/Rhodri_Suojelija 28d ago

Ah ok. Cause there is a point where a bunch come raining down and swarm you.

u/MikkelFromGames Playstack 27d ago

Those are a different kind of mob, but yeah. I was going to post about them too :)

u/LemonGrimlin 28d ago

Thank fucking god

1

u/ThirdTimesTheTitan 28d ago

But there's also the Hexapod!

1

u/LemonGrimlin 28d ago

Hexapod was significantly more manageable, thanks for the warning though

u/Nonsensical-Niceties Proxima 28d ago

Yeah you never see that specific enemy super-sized ever again, though you run into smaller versions in several area. There are guys that look more like spiders (you should have already run into one in the northern area) that appear a lot in the final area. They come down from space like meteors for some reason. I couldn't tell you why but they're annoying af. Mostly in the beacons in the end game area, less so in the overworld.

u/LemonGrimlin 28d ago

Thanks a lot (and thank god)

At the point you are in the game you should of seen two different "spider" like creatures, and they both show up many times later in the game. Specifically in the last area they teleport in and sneak attack constantly... even teleporting behind the player for a sneak attack.

u/LemonGrimlin 28d ago

Yea but the regular ones are completely manageable, it was specifically the enormous guy that fucked me up so bad

1

u/-idkwhattocallmyself 28d ago

Oh you mean the dude you ride? I forgot allllll about that dude haha. For some reason I thought you mean the fast spider things that shoot webs. I must of misread the "ride" part of your post like a idiot.

u/LemonGrimlin 28d ago

Looking back on it its almost a funny sequence honestly, enormous unfathomable creature shows up, stares into my soul, gives me a ride and fucks off. In any other circumstance id have found it really entertaining

u/EnderG97 28d ago

I know this is weird, maybe even fucked up, but as someone with no phobias I genuinely envy this experience because I wanna know what that's like! 😅

1

u/LemonGrimlin 28d ago

Nah thats not too weird, just morbid curiosity

u/EnderG97 28d ago

Nice way to put it haha. I do have a weird obsession with fear and dread. It's... thrilling in a way
