The Frostweaver is not your typical dungeon beast. As a unique variant of the Ice Giant Spider, this enemy brings a suite of Dark And Darker Gold ice-themed abilities, stealth tactics, and lethal damage output that distinguishes it from standard enemies. The Frostweaver is not just stronger, it is smarter, faster, and more calculated in its attacks.

Appearing only in high-threat zones such as the Elite and Nightmare tiers of the Ice Caverns, the Frostweaver is one of the more elusive and difficult enemies in Dark and Darker. However, with its high risk comes high reward, this frost-bound menace is known to drop top-tier Dark and Darker Items and significant amounts of Dark and Darker Gold upon defeat.

Encountering the Frostweaver

You'll find the Frostweaver in the deeper layers of the Ice Caverns, often hidden in secluded tunnels, abandoned chambers, or frost-covered nests suspended from the ceiling. These creatures don't rush into battle like other enemies, instead, they stalk.

Combat Traits of the Frostweaver:

    Ambush Predator: The Frostweaver begins encounters cloaked or partially submerged in its icy nest, often launching surprise attacks.

    Frostbolt Spit: A ranged projectile that slows movement speed and gradually applies frostbite damage.

    Web Snare: Shoots out a web that restricts movement, making you vulnerable to a follow-up strike or frostbite buildup.

    Icy Pounce: This is a gap-closing leap that deals high damage and applies instant frostbite stacks. Dodging this requires quick timing and lateral movement.

    Frost Aura: Once engaged in prolonged combat, the Frostweaver emits a cold aura that drains stamina and reduces healing effectiveness.

Fighting the Frostweaver is a battle of attrition and awareness. Many adventurers fall victim to its deceptive patterns and quick burst damage. It's not uncommon to walk into a nest thinking it's empty, only to find yourself webbed, slowed, and dying in Dark And Darker Gold Coins seconds.
