Would you mind posting your strategy for the battle (which seems to work very well)? Looks like many people have problems beating it...

Just killed him as Viking on Hard at level 13. Three types of Snakes, Bear Riders and Trolls (3). Only the Trolls engaged the Spider himself, the other four stacks spent the battle fighting the baby spiders.

Frenzy (level 2 for me) was very important here. My Snake stacks got to ~100 attack, after a bit, and the Trolls got up to a whopping 259 attack (from their own property, though, not from Frenzy).

It should be noted that without the snakes (poison resistance) and the regenerating Trolls the fight would be impossible at this level.

I used biggest DMG dealers (pirates and sea dogs, i also had weapon called driller which gives 25% DMg bonus to melee troops and maxed berserker skill)
i almost did 9k crit dmg on him
