Learn about the gigantic two-headed spider boss guarding a Primal Bonfire in Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin. It guards a Great Soul but is not one itself.

This boss is a gigantic two-headed spider. It guards one of the Primal Bonfires. Unusually, despite being one of the four main bosses of the first half of the game, it does not wield a Great Soul, only guards it. Thus, it can be said that the true "boss" is not just the spider, but the entire Writhing Ruin that contains all of its spider hatchlings.

Tips
  • The Writhing Ruin area contains many spider hatchlings that contribute to the challenge.
  • Focus on the main spider, but be aware of the smaller enemies.
