The Giant Spiders are enemies encountered in Tomb Raider II and Tomb Raider Underworld. The origin of the Tomb Raider II version, which is encountered in the Temple of Xian is unknown. They probably mutated over time. The spiders encountered in Tomb Raider Underworld have come into contact with an unnatural source, causing their mutation.
Contents
Tomb Raider II
In Tomb Raider II the giant spiders make their appearance in the Temple of Xian in a cave. There are only five of these. Despite their appearance they are quite weak, attack rarely and do relatively small amounts of damage. The Uzis kill them quickly, although any weapon can work.
Custom Levels
In custom levels you may also encounter them, they look the same but are usually much more aggressive and often poisonous due to the fact that they are remodelled Scorpions, however, they tend to be weak against the Revolver.
Tomb Raider Underworld
Featured in Tomb Raider Underworld, these giant spiders are pretty hardy. As shown in the latest gameplay trailer, a good sticky grenade will bring them down. These spiders, if they were to stand on their hind legs would be as tall as Lara herself. Capable of jumping, biting, and shooting webs, these rather large arachnids are deserving of a good squish.
Tactics
While any weapon will work on the spiders, their biggest weakness is that they get no chance to attack Lara when she kicks them once in a while, they need a certain time to regain balance, in which usage of the Pistols is recommended. Once they regained their orientation it's time for another well timed kick.
