The Giant Spiders are enemies in several of the Tomb Raider and Lara Croft Games. This larger version of the Tarantulas occurs first in Tomb Raider II. They can also be encountered in some of the Custom Levels. The Giant Spiders can be killed normally, but depending on the game, there are few things one should know about them.

Occurrence

Tomb Raider II

The giant spider is encountered in the China Section. The origin of this version is unknown. They probably mutated over time.

(Southern Mexico)
(Jan Mayen Island)

Beneath the Ashes

(underneath Croft Manor)

Strategy

Featured in Tomb Raider Underworld and its add on Beneath the Ashes, these Giant Spiders are pretty hard. 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.

While any weapon will work on the Giant 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. The Spear Gun and Sticky Grenades are also rather effective against the Giant Spiders.

Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light
