Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Head northwest and north in the Forest to a gate. Enter and proceed to the center of the battlefield where the Broodmother attacks.

    After the fight, head north to find a bunker entrance leading to tunnels.

    Continue through the tunnels, looting containers and finding save points and crafting stations.
  7. 7
    Eventually, you will reach a ladder to go above ground.
  8. 8
    Head northwest to the Druid’s Hut. Loot the area and use the Workbench for crafting.

    Inside the Hut, find a TV save point and a trapdoor that is currently inaccessible.
Tips
  • Bring Fuel x2 and an Electric Grenade x1.
  • Submachine Guns and Riot Shotguns are effective against the spiders.
  • Keep your distance from the Broodmother to avoid its tentacle attacks.
  • Throwable explosives are less effective due to the Broodmother's movement.
  • Crafting all weapons at the Workbench will earn you the 'Arsenal' achievement.
  • The spider battlefield is a location required for the 'Full picture' achievement.

The 'That’s a hell of a spider' achievement is awarded upon defeating the Broodmother. The 'Full picture' achievement can be completed after this battle by finding all 41 map locations.
