Walkthrough for "Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II" mission A Spider Among Flies. Learn how to defeat the Warp Spider Exarch and secure strategic assets.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    From the drop point, proceed left across the bridge, eliminating any enemies encountered.
  2. 2
    Set up your team along the low brick wall to the east.
  3. 3
    Push towards one of the strategic assets, either east or west, and work your way up to the target destination. Consider heading to the southwest corner to draw enemies to you.
  4. 4
    Use grenades and Avitus' ranged attacks to thin out approaching enemies. Use your Force Commander (FC) to draw enemies before pulling back to your squads' gunfire.
  5. 5
    Once the area is cleared, capture the beacon.
  6. 6
    Make your way across the bridge to the next strategic asset, sticking together and using grenades and assault jumps to prevent enemies from regrouping.
  7. 7
    Push to the shrine, take control of it, and defeat any reinforcements.
  8. 8
    Continue to the Warp Spider.
  9. 9
    To engage the Warp Spider Exarch, send your FC into melee while the others engage from a distance. Keep Thaddeus back as the Spider is dangerous in melee.
  10. 10
    When the Warp Spider summons reinforcements, use a grenade or assault jump to deal with them. Have Thaddeus throw a grenade and then leap in to attack them.
  11. 11
    Allow Avitus to fire on the Warp Spider Exarch to defeat it quickly.
  12. 12
    Remember to heal your squad whenever they take significant damage.
Tips
  • The middle area of the map is difficult; proceed with caution.
  • Drawing enemies off slowly can help thin their numbers before a full assault.
  • Frequent use of grenades and assault jumps is effective against enemy groups.
  • Keep your squad tightly together during engagements.
  • Thaddeus' grenades and assault jumps are particularly effective against summoned reinforcements.
