Aratra

The cinematic shows Elamein freeing a captive from a web before Aratra, a giant spider, descends behind Khazan.

Several attacks are very fast. Learn the rhythm rather than reacting to each strike in isolation.

Attack ①:

A slow claw swipe followed by a double forward stab.

Attack ②:

Two bites with a clear mouth-opening tell. The second bite follows quickly.

Attack ③:

A three-hit combo with a visible arm raise. Counter the unguardable third hit.

Attack ④:

It reaches behind itself and throws green venom. Dodge rather than guard to avoid poison buildup.

Attack ⑤:

A claw swipe leads into two quick stabs, then a pounce. Do not overlook the second stab.

Attack ⑥:

Four very fast thrusts followed by a slower final hit.

Attack ⑦:

A straightforward high jumping pounce.

Attack ⑧:

It scoops venom from behind before slashing forward in a cross pattern.

Attack ⑨:

A web spit marked by a green glow around the mouth. Being hit immobilizes you.

Breaking its limbs can stagger it. If it survives that opening, it may climb up to recover and return with a wide aerial slam. Finishing it during the stagger avoids this sequence.

Attack ⑩:

Defeat Aratra for equipment and a cinematic.

The spider attempts a final ambush, but Elamein finishes it off.

Return to the hub and speak to the rescued blacksmith Qazumaka downstairs. Another area unlocks.
