Tarantox is a mini-boss type mob that can be encountered close to the "West Village Junction" waypoint. It respawns between 20 minutes and 4 hours when defeated.
Design and Location[]
Tarantox appears as a larger variation of the Spider mob found in the Catacombs with the notable difference being this has a small crown with a large purple aura, mistakening it to be purple than black and white.
The "x" represents where the waypoint is with the aqua circle being where Tarantox can possibly spawn, as where it spawns is not fixated. It can appear anywhere within that blue circle.
Tips to Defeat[]
- One of the recommended ways to defeat this mob is to attack from range, as it wouldn't be able to perform any attack as you're outside of its hit range. Beware of its poison-blast attack incase you get too close, as its radius is large enough that dashing once is not enough.
- Since it still inflicts poison, healing is ideal when fighting this boss alongside having 750 or more armor as the poison can be what kills you rather than the individual attacks.
- Having a legendary weapon is needed to eliminate this mob quickly.
- Since this is a spider clone, all attack patterns are the same as well.
Trivia[]
- Like with the Creepcrawler Brute, this mob can drop good materials or gear relative to your progression.
- Tarantox is a mix of the words "Tarantula" & "Toxic".
- There is a small aggro error that can be noticed if you use the Sword Spin point blank, as the spider would circle around directly above you looking for a spot to hit you within the hit zone.
