| Strategy: |
It is a hard creature to outrun due to its heavy paralysis, it is also not a good idea to run them as it's very fast and can haste.
Mages: This is a hard monster to solo as a mage, but if you are to kill due to the quest then try not to face it below level 80 as 2,000+ mana and the use of Great Mana Potions are recommended. Use Energy Ring so as to not worry about Magic Shield running out at the wrong moment. Unlike Giant Spiders, the widow is immune to fire so Hell's Core will be useless, and Rage of the Skies will not make enough damage unless you have a good magic level, just take a Wand of Voodoo or Underworld Rod and attack it with SDs while drinking plenty of Great Mana Potions. Terra Set is also recommended, although you might want to wear a Protection Amulet or SSA rather than Terra Amulet. If your level is below 60 then you will most likely die even with Magic Shield.
Paladins: Level 80+ can kill it by using Assassin Stars and mana shield (or Energy Ring). Just run it south of the teleport so that only the Old Widow can get close to you, and keep using Strong Mana Potions or Great Spirit Potions when your mana falls low. |
