Queen Tarantella's Abdomen


Queen Tarantella is the Queen of all Spiderants. She is around 4 times larger than the average Queen Spiderant.

She is located in Trash Coast and is involved in the "Bait and Switch" mission, where she will drop her abdomen when killed. This will then be needed to summon King Aracobb, king of spiderants.

Queen Tarantella has a very large abdomen at the back which is her most vulnerable point, like all spiderants. She will also use the long ranged attack which lifts the weak abdomen above her head. Although Queen Tarantella is very large, she is also particularly fast and will try and melee attack you. Her attack is much more powerful than that of the average spiderant.

Like all spiderants, you must flank Queen Tarantella in order to reach the weak abdomen at the back and kill her easily.

Queen Tarantella may drop the level 48 version of the unique revolver "Patton" when killed again in playthrough 2.5 after the quest "Bait and Switch" has been completed.

Stragegy

  • Bring a powerful corrosive weapon or two with full ammo. Corrosive artifact preferably >/= level 2 since Spiderants are armoured.
  • Or you can run to the cliff on the other side of the valley which Queen Tarantella spawns and uses a sniper to keep shooting it (preferably a gamble, or a bessie if you have one.) This works because the spiderants will not come up the ledge as it is to narrow for them, and most of them will just roar at you. Jhat 07:08, March 10, 2010 (UTC)
