If you found our tips for winning the centaur duel useful, then hopefully, we can also help you out with defeating the Acromantula in Year 4, Chapter 16.

We’re sure only Hagrid enjoys the idea of coming across a giant spider, but even he may have second thoughts since this is one of the tougher boss battles in the game. Like other duels, you must choose a stance at the beginning of each round to determine who gets a turn. Aggressive stances beat Sneaky stances, Sneaky stances beat Defensive stances, and Defensive stances beat Aggressive stances. Whoever won the round can then cast a defensive, aggressive, or healing spell or drink a healing potion.

To beat the Acromantula, you should use the Aggressive stance as much as possible. The Acromantula will almost always use Sneaky stance, so by sticking to Aggressive stances, players should win most of the turns. The attack from the Acromantula does significant damage, which will last the course of eight rounds, so while it’s safe to use a Defensive stance occasionally to heal with some healing potion, don’t risk a Sneaky stance!

Beating this eight-legged boss is a matter of patience, but once defeated, you will be one step closer to completing the chapter. Let us know how you get on in the comments!
