* When combat begins, the Matriarch will attempt to hatch her nearby [[Phase Spiderling]] eggs. These eggs can be destroyed before the battle begins if the party can stay hidden.

* When the Matriarch is on a web bridge, destroying the bridge using fire damage will inflict a significant amount of fall damage on her (~45, varying with height). The stone platforms they connect to have no loot on them and are mostly accessible even without the bridges, thus it is recommended to use this tactic whenever the opportunity presents itself. | * When the Matriarch is on a web bridge, destroying the bridge using fire damage will inflict a significant amount of fall damage on her (~45, varying with height).
