Followed by this, it’s usually a quick long-range attack. One of the boss’ most common attack is a stomp that releases a wave that can stun you. If you’re playing with John, you can dodge once, but make sure you’re holding the direction keys on the opposite side while you dodge or the hits will reach you. Within melee range, the second boss will launch two consecutive attacks, so be prepared to dodge twice. Make sure you keep your Stamina up to be able to dodge. This will deal damage in an area of effect. The second boss deals a lot more damage and can reach long distance with jumps and smash the ground. Make sure to take down the one with half its health bar first. Keep up this pattern and around mid health, another boss will be summoned. Even with John, you can easily hit this boss once and dodge, sometimes you can even hit him twice. The boss deals melee damage but can charge against the player from one side of the screen to the other pretty quickly.

The only chances you get to attack the boss is when it smashes the ground and goes to the top side of the room to summon more spiders. Try to deal with the spiders as soon as possible. After that, it will summon big spiders and these can be a pain since they have long-range attacks. Save your dashes for these attacks as it can be a bit difficult to avoid otherwise. It will first use the spiderwebs to move outside the screen and smash the ground wherever the player is.

This boss has a very consistent attack pattern. Once your Frenzy bar is filled, you can start attacking the Spider King as much as you can and it’ll go down in no time. You need to be careful until Kevin gains his Frenzy mode in which he gains attack speed.

I’d recommend trying with Kevin if you’re having trouble. Personally, it was a lot easier for me to beat this boss with Kevin, despite having a significantly harder playthrough. After a few tries in the Silk Caverns, you will unlock Kevin, a new character. I’ve had trouble beating this boss at first, so I had to die a few times before I got it, right. Bosses are displayed in order of appearance.
