Cant kill the bloody spider

[Stanza]

Ok I did the game as a Mage so I can't accurately counsel you but :
- I used some snakes (swamp & royal ones) cause they have an innate 80% poison resistance and can't be poisoned, as a result those snakes are good at tanking and killing spider spawns.
- I know that some warriors used Berserkers to great effect to hurt the giant spider, lot of damage.
- Trolls are also good because they can regenerate every turn.
- Warrior Maidens have a really good resurrection skill for your troops, as well as some nice damage.

Hope that helps.

it has been a while since I beat him but I am playing on Fire and Ice and did not get my wings yet
If you have a flying horse get trolls, they will regen every round and never die also look for ice giants.

with those 2 you should be good... you can also run Royal Snakes since they do not get countered

Are you running fire and Ice? If so I can get give you some better advice... and what class are you and what spells do you have?

Ive tried using two stacks of snakes but eventually they all get killed by the little spiders.Must have tried dozens of timers now.Still cant kill him.
I do have the flying horse but I don't have any trolls -where can I buy them
I have loads of magic and spells but nothing seems to work HELP !

Ok there is a place on one of the islands that sells them. You have to fly to get there.. should be called a Jotun Lair or shop.

Grab some trolls.

Do not use Slingers or any ranged heroes.. they will be useless after the first round.
Have you killed Everything else on all the maps?

Get as strong as you can.

Use Trolls, Royal Snakes, The big Viking guys ( they have 2 attacks ) , the Viking that gives a troop an extra turn ( like 200+ leadership guy ), and for the 4th... I used the chick on the polar bear.. she can throw the spear and can res your guys.

As for spells if you are playing a mage blast him with single target spells and make sure you have the bonus initiative spell on and give some of your stacks stone skin...

Try that.

Worry about the spider more then the summons... your counter attacks should take care of them.

Good luck.
