This fight is an excellently balanced progress check imo. It's not easy but if you don't mess your character up and think a bit, it's doable.

I found for a Warrior it's crucial to rack up as much leadership as possible. So I got me a Grand Strategist 3 medal, the warrior valkyrie, Glory 3 skill and some items with leadership. With that all I was able to get to 6,5k points and that's enough to kill the spider WITH the achievement.

As ppl before me pointed out, the best way to do it is with high def melee units like bears, jarls and jotuns, although jotuns are quite disappointing so far. I'd probably recommend warrior maidens (if you can get enough), all three kinds of bears and jarls. The jarls would wreak havoc on the baby spiders with their area attack and the bears would maul the boss spider to death in no time.


By the way money in this installment is horribly unbalanced, you have always like 100x more than you actually need. Weird.
