How the hell do you even deal with spindlebeasts?
They endlessly attack and don't even give you a window to counter and their horns hitbox seems to extend PAST the point meaning they can get you seemignly out of their graphics range. Did the devs even test these things out?

I just avoided them until I could 1 shot em. There's only so many times in can bang my head against a single challenge before I realize it just wasn't meant to be.

Don't even bother with them, they are not worth the pain, use the platforms to traverse the area and reach the boss.

They're not meant to be fought, really, but if you have to kill, them lure them to a ledge and pelt them with the ranged attack of your choice. If you know magic, they go down very quickly - you might even be able to one-shot them in a head-on attack.
Attack speed charm plus a greatsword makes quick work of them IF timed correctly.

I just wish they didn't do such insanely stupid amounts of damage, or even spam as much as they did, they have like no real windows between their attacks. Has anyone tried to parry them if possible due to it being a grab.

I didn't have any trouble with fighting them with a Reaper because of the reach, but basically you dodge roll through their charge first before attacking them. That's really your only chance unless you have the reach necessary to hit them first.

Magic or any kind of ranged/reach attack really. I didn't even acknowledge their existence until I saw all the salty threads about them.

Lost my 40k salt to them right after finishing the boss right before them :[

I just used a shockstone to boost my damage to one-shot them. Using a greatswords reach, it wasn't too hard at that point. You could try using consumable too like the bombs if you dont have a ranged weapon.

I'm a mage so I just use spells from a distance. Try a bow?

If you can't one-shot them, well timed Jaws of Death's heavy attack spamming can get the job done, too. But generally you just need weapons that can outrange their long mouths^^, and drink a heath potion before you engage them so that you don't get hp-sucked to death too early.
<< I use jaws of death spam to deal with them- but honestly, just bypassing them by doing the jumping puzzle is the better option. They are unblockable monsters of aggravation >>.

Use ranged attacks.
They have only 100HP.

Kinda weird balanced for melee because they oneshot me everytime. Not even any boss I encountered in the entire game so far oneshot me.

Apparently I was missing a few levels to survive the attack:

I one shotted them with greatscissor strong attack like the other guy said, my problem now is there is a crypt keeper in the area after next that one shots me while I have fully upgraded titan armor and I'm like level80 and he does not die in one hit lol, he's easy to dodge but wont let me get an attack in without countering it with a insta death =l
