A side adventure from your search for the wardstone, but potentially a worthwhile one. An item found here is potentially relevant to a companion's personal quest. Another can be crafted into a weapon or shield if you can find the right smith.
Here is your initial point of entry. Exiting it leads back to the Forest of Wyrms at 7.
There will plenty of spiders, including Small Spiders, Sword Spiders and Phase Spiders, led by a Gargantuan Spider, at these points.
This dead body has a Bastard Sword called Severance.
There will be another group of spiders here. But this group has a Seven-Legged Spider. It will leave behind a Giant Spider Leg when it dies, which is one of the items that Neera will seek for her personal Quest, The Call of the Wild Mage.
There will be another group of spiders here. But stepping into this smaller cave will trigger the appearance of the Rhinoceros Beetle at 8.
A Rhinoceros Beetle will appear here, along with several Boring Beetles, once you've cleared the cave of any Spiders. It can hit for hefty damage with each strike. It will target as a priority any character carrying Spider Eggs from niches at points marked as 5. That gives you an opportunity to designate a tanking character to hold it in place.
It will leave behind a Rhino Beetle Shell should you kill it, which can be used to fashion an armor or shield should you find the right armorsmith.
