Spider Queen (spoiler)

[randir14]

How do I talk to her? I have Pet Pal, and the goblin said she likes flattery. However when I approach her she immediately attacks.

[Nightwindale]

Also interested in that.

Cannot

[godrichman]

I have petpal and she spoke to me when I approached. I picked the charm option and she told me I could go through her lands......when conversation finished she then attacked me.

[randir14]

I tried a couple more times and experienced two different results.

First I passed the flattery speech check, but she said something to the effect of "thanks but I'm going to kill you anyway." The second time I approached her from behind and she immediately attacked.

I can't speak to her, she always attacks no matter waht.

Same problem here. I approach her with the character that has pet pal selected.

Played around a bit.
Approaching her without killing spider egg clusters nearby will allow a conversation sometimes, sometimes she just switches from non-hostile yellow circle to hostile, initiating a fight as you approach. Approaching with a character without pet pal always seems to cause a fight after a "Kssssssss!" dialogue. With a character with pet pal (but no points in charm) I'm offered the "intimidate, charm, reason" responses but choosing any of them starts a fight, not the rock paper scissors. My character with pet pal has only 2 points in charisma so I don't know if a higher score would result in the ability to actually start a conversation mini-game.

The goblin trader you meet before gave me a tip regarding how to deal with her. Which I didn't do, as I approached her without Pet Pal and just had to kill her.

But maybe that goblin's tip is needed for you to have any chance of negotiating? Still, the goblin doesn't suggest you'll get any wisdom from her, just that she might let you through her lands. Which you can do just as well by bashing her head...

[Thanazael]

I killed the goblin trader before trying to talk with her, maybe it has something to do with why she never started a dialog.

I experimented a bit and here's how it works:

You can only approach her with your source hunters. Walking too close with henchmen makes her attack immedialitely.

You need pet pal and high charisma to talk to her. If you have too low charisma, all options make her attack you.

[dany1silva]

You need pet pal and charisma level 5 or 6 (don't exactly remember) on one of the mains to trigger additional talk and she gave me 36k xp level 15.For min/max it is quite alot did manage to finish the game on hard level 23 plus half bar without killing any "good guys" :)

I have the maximum possible charisma, yet when I approach and start talking with Charm option, she says that I may pass (without rock-paper-scissors game) but as soon as conversation ends, she attacks. I did not kill any spider in that area before that, so I assume it's impossible to stay in good terms with her.

[Kiriakulos]

Why would you want to entreat with such creature? It's a giant spider! It deserves death!

[OZZO]

it didn't do me wrong, so why kill it straight away? ;-)

I tried one more thing: I separated the person with the highest charisma and she came to speak with the spider alone. And after the talk and Charm option the fight did not start. I could walk away and come back, but not initiate any more dialogs.

... and wen the rest of my team came closer, the fight started anyway.

If you havent noticed until now. She starts to attack immediatly when one of your henchmen comes near. No matter what. If you can talk to animals you are good to go with your main characters but no henchmen.
