    Much to my surprise I am getting killed every time vs spiders. I have sent my high HP Fighter and Monk in & they got toasted. Please help.

    Well... the spiders poison you, so good fortitude is a must. Monks are preferable because they can avoid attacks. Your monk SHOULD have "Wholeness of Body" by now. If you see your hit points getting below half, go ahead and use that ability to regain some hit points. It's a lot of spiders, but it is feasible. Also, if you have power attack, you may want to turn it off. The extra damage isn't always worth it if you're facing enemies that can't be hit easily.

    Do you have a cleric? A few flamestrikes blast away all spiders. :) Be sure to have protection from fire cast on your cleric in advance, because you'll be in the middle of the flamestrike because the spiders attack you.

    You might cast Animate Dead to use that as a target for the spiders and get some of the damage of your hide.

    i think flamestrike is for druid..

    try with two tanks with lots of potions.(for hp and poison)..

    if you want a cleric do the job make sure she/he is multiclass to a fighter(battleguard of tempus maybe)

    Clerics can have flamestrike too. Another way would me to have a character with cleave(?), IIRC that's the one which allows you to make an extra attack when you kill an opponent. If he has power attack, that would be nice too. I used my ranger with two weapons. It worked out fine.

    All of the above are decent ways, but I have the best. :p

    Check this, go to the neareast corner, turn around and cast wall of fire diagonaly. Gets 'em everytime. Your character gets to sit there and just laugh.

    In my experience a druid can handle the chambers top-notch. Shapeshift dire bear (see my icon for further reference ;) ) makes any monk look like filet mingnon.

    [​IMG] I used a sorcerer, cast improved invisibility and equipped the sword that doesn't allow you to be webbed (sorry I can't remember the name of the weapon) then walk around and draw out all the spiders. After that cast fireball and watch them burn. Oh, and don't cast to near yourself cause that's suicide

    I used a druid, summoned a couple of bears, turned me into a bear...

    And, well... killed them...

    (Which difficulty are you playing,
    this worked fine on Insane)

    I'm with Bhaals buddy -

    For this chamber alone, I sent my wizard in - sunfire x2 - no muss no fuss and very little hp loss.

    I also use sunfire x2 to get all those annoying jellies in Dragon eye.

    I simply got in with my Diviner. Mirror Image first then wait for all spiders to show out.
    When they all appear, she yelled out hard and killed all of them... :alien:
