* <u>Exploits:</u> The middle spiderweb bridge has a stone outcrop that, when the matriarch stands on and the bridge destroyed, would effectively neutralize her: she will be stuck in her falling down animation but never move and, therefore, never enter combat. The combat log gives experience as if she has fallen into the [[Underdark]], but the player can still kill her normally with ranged attacks afterward — yielding the kill experience reward and loot. This was found on a tactician playthrough and should work for honour mode. [[File:Illusion's position.png|thumb|A good portion of the matriarch collision size(?) indicator is outside of the ledge. ]]
