The Duke's Dear Freja BOSS - Optional or mandatory ?
Hello. Serious topic, I have arachnofobia, though not deadly serious, but I still have, and going through those spiders on the ceiling and walls just makes me go insane just looking at them, or having to go closer to them. And when I had to go into the big room where they are EVERYWHERE inside (the one that has a ladder on the far end on the left), I had to force myself after waiting to just go inside and lure them out somehow.
And I´ve been killed by the spider boss twice already and really don´t want to go there again, do I have to go there, or is it an optional boss ?
Thank you for answers.

the big 4 are mandatory unless you grind souls. In NG, you need 1m sm

Technically you can get the Shrine of WInter to open wihtout the 4 souls, but you have to acquire a certain tally of souls in your current game cycle. The quantity goes up for each NG cycle. You should be able to find a reference to the amounts on one fo the DS2 wikis. If it is a problem for you you can always use one of the covetous silver serpent rings and the tseldora armour set...ironicallyfrom the spider area....to help farm them. Alternatively, find a player phantom to summon to help who will just clear it all out ahead of you.

What is your SM currently?

have you tried a torch? It makes the area a lot easier, because they will all be afraid of it and run away from you. It also works in the bossfight, the small spiders will not attack you and you can concentrate on the boss.
Maybe it helps a bit.

I didn´t think about using a torch, if it really helps like that I´ll give it another go with it, thanks for the advice, this time hopefuly I´ll do it .

Btw. The room after the big room with the ladder may eben be worse for someone with arachnaphobia. I recommend to run straight on, with the wall on your left, and then turn right at the end and jump down from net to net. If you are fast, you can make it to the bossfog without encountering a single Spider this way.

The one with the ladder was definitely worse for me becouse when I looked inside I immdiately had to turn away and my whole body was shaking and was telling myself NO NO NO ... I´ll try your advice aswell, thanks for the help.
