Terathan Keep

The Champion: Mephitis the black widow

From hunting that champion, you will eventually earn an Arachnid title. The spawn mainly consist of spider like creatures: scorpions, giant spiders, terathan drones, terathan warriors, dread spiders, terathan matriachs, terathan avengers and poison elementals. Mephitis is also fairly easy to kill. Her special attacks is to throw webs at you then teleporting you to her so she can chew you up. This means insta-death if you're not fast enough. You can either use invis items or use trapped pouches to unentangle yourself. As soon as you're free, RUN!! A lot of mages will sit on the ledge above the altar to safely cast down on the spawn. Becareful, it can become a trap. At any point, matriachs, terathan avengers and poison elementals will teleport to that ledge from time to time and melee you. When there are 20+ mages lined up there, you can find yourself trapped and unable to put enough distance to cast a spell. When reds raid the dungeon, they will also often cast poison field in the middle of the group and once again, you're stuck. The poison preventing you from casting any spells, it could mean your death. A good trick to circumvent that, eat an orange petal (from the gardening system), it will not only increase your resistance to poison, your concentration will also no longer be disturbed by the field.

You will need at least 5 people to do this spawn but 8 is highly recommended. The easiest way to kill the spawn is with bards and a group of mages casting EQs. Tamers also do very well with this spawn. Just keep a close eye on your pets once the poison elementals spawn. Warriors with good poison resistance will also do well.

Spawn Location:

Recall to Serpent Hold's Fire Dungeon cave entrance.

You are now standing at the entrance to Fire dungeon. Enter the dungeon and follow the red line on the map below. Your starting position is marked with an S and final position is marked with an F. Go through the door and enter the south teleporter (closest to door) to be teleported into Despise, north from the Ogre Lord Island. Note that the island host Baraccoon, the ratman champion, so there might be some heavy spawn in and around the location you will appear in Despise.

Follow the red line on the map below to reach another set of teleporters. Your starting position is again marked with an S and final position is marked with an F. Step into south teleporter to be teleported into Terathan Keep.

Follow the red line on the map below to reach the Champion Altar. Your starting position is again marked with an S and final position is marked with an F.
