Tsuchigumo

Tsuchigumo is a powerful spider attacking in Grangold. As a proficient magic user, she is able to trap her victim in an alternative dimension, rendering her prey inescapable.

Monsterpedia Entry
''“A spider monster from the Yamatai Region. Following the Spider Princess’s call, she joined in the attack on Grangold. Though her demeanor is soft, her heart is brutal and cold blooded. If caught in her webs, you can expect to be sucked dry.''

''Her already high magic ability among insect monsters was increased further by Black Alice. She is even able to create a sort of alternate dimension, trapping prey in her own private space. The only way out is to either defeat her, or be preyed on.”''

Battle Overview
Salamander's return leads to a new combination that results Tsuchigumo's instant defeat: Daystar to dish out huge damage instantly, then Salamander to recover all the lost SP and power up the next attack, then Daystar again. This is the least risky way to fight her. Alice's attack skills do not work well on spiders, so consider using Eye of Recovery.

The above combination runs the risk of allowing Tsuchigumo to use her binding attack on her second turn. If bound without Gnome, escape will be very difficult, and she can use her rape skill for an instant defeat. An alternative is to use Gnome to reduce some damage and quickly escape from binds. If Tsuchigumo summons Gnomaron, switch to Sylph to avoid all her attacks. Switch back to Gnome when Gnomaron expires, and run her down with Ninefold Rakshasa or Daystar to quickly end the fight. As always, try to maintain some SP for Meditation.

If Luka loses to Silky Blowjob, extra lines will appear.

Evaluation
''“Look at that pitiful insect, squirming on a spider’s web… Oh my, that’s you. Her binding techniques are very powerful. Without Gnome, your defeat is assured. So you should always keep Gnome up, to prevent an instant loss. You can avoid her string attacks with Sylph, but you run that risk. But if she herself summons a spirit of earth, switch to Sylph right away. Furthermore, the Monster Lord’s attacks don’t do much. It would be best to use her recovery. Lastly, there are additional insults awaiting a loss to certain moves. It might matter to you, but I don’t care. Now go, oh brave Luka. Destroy these evil Ants and Spiders bringing horror to the citizens of Grangold.”''
