Stuck on impossible spider matriarch fight

4th time being defeated. I just can't figure out a good way to deal with this fight. They just teleport from 1 side to the other all the time so whenever I get close they just teleport away. I can't just jump to go down to the ground because I lose hp and go prone.

I burn the webs so the spiders can't use them but my characters jump range isn't long enough to jump from platform to platform. The mother spawns mini spiders so I need to try and burst her down fast.

Really struggling with this one. Any advice?

surprise them, you gona kill them all before they will be able to move and use eggs. Is hard to surprise them but not impossible. Works on honour as non of them have alert feat

How do you actually surprise in this game? Whenever I put my team into hide and then engage with one of them, the combat starts but my other 3 characters don't join the fight for some reason.

What you do, in that case, is DO NOT END TURN. Instead, select one of your non-combat characters and move them to where they can attack. Then do it for another one, Etc.

Once they have all attacked (or at least entered the initiative order), then you can end turn on your first character.

By attacking when enemy dont see you but they need to spot you after attack in same turn, so you have to be close enough when doing range attacks when hiding. second option is do attack when you invisibile . Shovel Cheeky Quasit is perfect for this job, he can use Invisibility at will and surprise is guaranteed if enemy doesn't have alert feat. However it won't work for spiders as they see invisibile. Can show You in game how to surprise momy spider.

I defeated the spider boss by killing all the smaller spiders and spiderlings first with Astarion and my moon druid(urchin background) who has stealth.

After that I killed it with the whole party, so all you need is some guerilla tactics lol.

There is a pair of magic boots that will make you immune to being enwebbed somewhere in there, too. Quite handy before that fight. Keep the high ground, and don't burn webs unless they have spiders on them. The spiders don't need them to move around, you do.

I like setting a smokepowder barrel on the rock shelf before the left hand side web. There's a smokepowder barrel in the blacksmith's workshop. Also if you got a smokepowder sachel, you can throw that right before the right side web. You sneak attack the web with fire when the queen is standing on it, she falls and takes damage. Then the spiders, very fairly, get like 2 free freaking turns for some reason, the queen and usually the two other spiders teleport up to the left side web, right in front of the smokepowder barrel you placed. You then use a fire attack on the barrel, the explosion burns the web and blows the spiders off, usually kills the lesser spiders, and knocks the queen down, she should be like 1/4 health by then. She then, very fairly, gets to use her spider rage which grants her a teleport plus like 2 free OP insta-kill attacks, but she usually teleports to the right side web, right in front of the the smokepowder sachel you placed. You can blow that and she's usually dead, but if she teleports to the rock then you got to brass it out with her but she should be dead pretty quick hopefully.

Don't put the explosives on the web directly, because when you blow them up they just fall and don't explode for some reason. Probably one of my least favorite battles anyway as it's incredibly hard for low lv chars even when using such drastic means against a couple of spiders.

Oh, also sneak around and shoot special arrows, like lightening, acid, cold, fire, whatever at the spider egg clutches so she doesn't activate them during the battle. There's three clutches of them.
