Broodmother

Final enemy found at the end of the Tol'Calm Caves. She's the first true boss of the game, meant to be an introduction for the harder boss fights ahead.

Phase 1
In this phase, the Broodmother has three abilities:

Acid Ball: The Broodmother spits poison at enemies in a cone in front of her, leaving a debuff that deals damage over time.

Web Spray: Sprays enemies in front of her with web, causing them to take damage and be rooted to the ground.

Lay Eggs: Every 35 seconds, the Broodmother lays 8 eggs around her nest, becoming invulnerable and out of sight, thus entering Phase 2. The eggs hatch after yet another 35 seconds, unleashing 3 Mature Spiderlings per egg.

Phase 2
In this phase, Mature Spiderlings will periodically attack the party, which will also have to destroy the eggs laid by the Broodmother.

Upon hatching, the fight will go back to Phase 1 and start over untill the Broodmother lies dead.

VX Mode
Broodmother VX mode is activated by not killing any eggs during Phase 2. This may be really hard but it's worth it.



Non-VX
The broodmother drops four random level 8 magic-rarity items with prefix and suffix on all difficulties.
