Lacking royal thorns (there was a huge 1 royal thorn in darion, none in the freedom isles, and I didn't get sacrifice until scouting demonis), I kept a stack of vampires in reserve from when I bought them from enemen. At the spider, I stuck the rest of my army in Taron and the castle in lower Kordar (I've forgotten its name; where you can marry Gerda after rescuing her), parked them in a corner where the spider couldn't hit (however, even with only ~6k leadership, they would've been fine with 6 stacks of spiders hitting them until the stack sizes start getting up to 500 or so) and killed the spider with greasy mist + flaming arrows, using magic spring whenver I was low on mana (generally I used it once each time greasy mist's vulnerability ended).
This was the same strategy as I used for the kraken, incidentally.
