Eine Sache von wenigen Minuten für jegliche AE-fähigen Klassen.
Man kommt von so ziemlich jedem Stein mit Spinne zum nächsten; das einzige Hindernis stellt hier die Abklingzeit dar.
Auch der Spinnenhügel ist nicht zu übersehen, zu finden im Gebiet "Gelege der Witwe".

This is an absolutely amazing achievement, a perfect example of what a WoW solo based achievement should be.
I could get to everything except for the very highest point, which is possibly a current PTR build problem.

<SPOILER>
To explain this to achievement hunters, what you have to do is aggro one of the spiders located on the ledges of the oddly shaped spiked mountains and the spider will then web-grab you (death grip mechanic) and you repeat this until you reach the top.

Kommentar von 434395

As of today I was able to take my Warlock up to the top and get the achievement. I actually got it on the second-highest ledge.

Note: Those with positionable AoE (Feuerregen, Blizzard, probably Tod und Verfall too, among others) will have an easier time climbing the hill, as you can aggro spiders who may be out of LoS.

Kommentar von 787747

Confirmed, did it today on PTR, 2nd to last pillar gave achievement (fell off and died right after before getting to top top lol) but there is a spider at the very top one now too so shouldn't be a problem getting up there as well. Blizzard worked perfectly for spiders just over the edges that couldn't be shot at by normal casting spells

Kommentar von 220310

It's also possible to shadowstep all the way up without getting aggro from spiders.
Edit: And yes, the second ledge from the top and not the very top one grants achievement.

Kommentar von NelleRavencrest

Very easy as hunter, just use trap launcher + immolation trap on edge close to spiders and they aggro even when they are out of LoS and pull you up.

Kommentar von Atrea

Fun achievement; there are probably several ways up, but there are also some 'traps', and if you go the wrong way, you might have to start all over again.

Kommentar von 696346

Make sure you kill each spider you agro or they'll start playing hackysack with your toon - if you get out of range, they'll web you back to them.

Kommentar von Twodotsonekb

It is I, crash test dummy! Don't do as I did and try to simply aggro consecutive spiders without killing the previous ones. They laugh in the face of LoS and physics, and will gladly web grip you, pulling you through rock like it ain't no thang. Doing this with multiple spiders can result in undesirable consequences that will make you feel like you're trapped in a really bad Hentai.

If you happen to approach death high up on the mountain, TRUST ME and take the honorable route of jumping to your death, or else you'll be eating a rez sickness cooldown.

Kommentar von Glica

Very easy for priests, use mass dispel

Kommentar von florhl

Watch out for D-bags on your server, had a few people up there (from same guild no less) killing the last spider & forcing those wanting it to pay them 200g. Then they'd use a warlock to summon that person to the top to gain it.

I'll just wait them out, I refuse to pay a dime. 200g is easy to make but this reflects badly on the community & game in general (well that's my opinion on it anyway).

Kommentar von eiki

for druids: use shrooms, easy way to get spiders that are not perfectly in line of sight.

Kommentar von Hemingray

Neat bit of trivia: these hexagonal-shaped rocks are modeled after the exact same type of basalt rock columns found at locations such as the Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland (caused by ancient volcanic eruptions--very fitting!) Blizzard always impresses me with their attention to detail.

Kommentar von 850214

Guys for the love of god when you get up there take a minute to turn your settings up to ultra and take in the artwork blizz have put into making this area, it really look epic from the top. A horde mage just got up there while i was taking screenies got her achi and slow fell down, really such a waste.

Kommentar von INvShika

If you get to a ledge and don't see any spiders, wait! They don't respawn instantly, but they'll come back.

Kommentar von Telkari

Another useful tip: For those who don't have LoS cheating spells, stand at the farthest edge away from the spider you want and jump while casting. This may help.

Kommentar von 765496

Watch for players from other side (and I seen both) who get on the top and enjoy kill you. No matter if it is PVP server, it is just being evil. I got killed almost at the top and ofcourse I couldn't ressurect. Bet that made his day and he was all proud of himself.

Kommentar von suffacate

Just did this, I was stuck on this for a while.

Then, I read a comment saying going up the south side is the easiest.
So, I tried it and it worked right away.

If you're stuck, go up the south side (as if you were looking at the map), it works great!

Kommentar von sildani

Really cool guide I just read:

http://landofodd.wordpress.com/2011/07/03/pyroarachnophobia-tips-tricks-for-king-of-the-spider-hill/

Kommentar von 298296

Ok so do follow the advice and kill them as you go, don't jump ahead and watch your AOEs. If you happen to die too far up, you will not be able to reach your corpse and you will have to take rez sickness.

Kommentar von 848640

This is a tip for the less ranged inclined or those having LoS problems.
If you want this Achievement, bring a hunter friend with you to get it. Have your friend Misdirect to you and then Launch a Snake Trap at the Nearest spider above you as you work your way up. The great thing about this is that due to the Misdirect the spider should grab your Hunter counterpart and then you immediately afterwards and pull you both up. If your Hunter is having problems getting the trap up next to the spider have them aim at the edge of the area where the spider is, so that half of the little AoE is on the ledge and then launch the trap. The Trap should sit half on the ledge with the spider easily catching his aggro.
NOTE: Avoid using Explosive Trap at all as this trap aggros not only the spider on the ledge but those surrounding him and any on ledges below him. If you happen to aggro two or more spiders at a time they will constantly toss you back and forth between them resulting in your death. Otherwise you and your hunter friend should continue your climb upward with little or no problems. In the unfortunate case that only one of you gets pulled onto the ledge: If it isn't the hunter on the ledge kill the spider and repeat the process as the spiders have a relatively short respawn timer to get the hunter to the same ledge. If only the hunter is pulled onto the ledge remember to Feign Death which will result in your companion being pulled up to the ledge with you as they out aggro you. Just remember to Dismiss your pet so that they don't kill the spider before your partner is on the ledge.
- Have fun

Kommentar von 837755

Here is my 2 cents as a hunter. Be on the west side and shoot the spider around half way up. I then went right 2 spiders away and then left another 2 spiders. I was then back at the start just higher up. I didnt have a clear shot to anything higher so I had to shoot myself across to the North side and I was able to shoot the 2nd to the tallest spider perch then the very top for the achievement. I tell you Blizzard you did a great job on this one. I like to solo most things when Im bored and this achievement is a perfect example. Have more of these plz!

EDIT: Also I like to mention use Immoation Trap ONLY if you dont have a clear shot. Just launch it at the edge. If you use an aoe spell any spider around (high or low) will take hate and you'll be in a tug-o-war.

Kommentar von Vraex

Just did this on my warrior with a gun and heroic throw, only took about 10ish minutes. I wasn't paying too close attention, but I believe I started on the due east side and worked my way around clockwise to get to the top.

Kommentar von xSylvane

I was able to do this as a combat rogue just using Throw. Blizz did a really good job on this one - it's fun to do, it's a little tricky but not uber-hard or immensely frustrating. You may have to start over a few times, but it's much more rewarding to actually say you figured it out than to just fudge the achievement.

I found I could hit things farther range/higher than I expected, so if you're having problems try aiming for a higher-up spider. I also used up my aggro drops to give myself a way back with one of the spiders in case I made a wrong jump. Use the strafe keys (Q & E by default) or your mouse to get to the very edge of the blocks without falling off and get the spiders in line of sight. They respawn fairly quickly, so you should only have to wait a few minutes if you really screw up and get stuck.

Kommentar von 110502

Just in-case someone already cleared those spiders or is a bit ahead of you, you can actually use Elixir of Giant Growth to jump on some of those pillars.

Kommentar von 3467

Relatively easy as a Death Knight; use Death and Decay to aggro the spiders you can't quite reach due to LoS with Icy Touch.

Kommentar von wutru

Tip for warriors: Use Taunt.

Kommentar von wintermark

For those of us lacking a really nice ranged attention getter that ignores LoS (i am a tankadin and lack such myself), it is still just a short process of trial and error of LoS aggro'ing.

(Hint: Your first spider will be on the EAST side of the pile. You can get spiders all around ,but the easterly low spider will get you started up the chain to the apex.)

Kommentar von 91138

Tip for prot pallies - pull using a single target spell (judgement or exorcism), and not Avenger's Shield... I ended up being gripped back and forth between 4 spiders for about five minutes barely managing to hit one spider before being pulled to the next! Eventually managed to kill the lower ones ending on the top one. Great fun achievement :)

Kommentar von 797001

I got this today with a friend. Being a gnome she was able to set raid markers on my next target since I was way too short. Gnomes, be careful not to fall in between the spikes. !

Kommentar von chrth

No one has mentioned this yet, but it definitely deserves mentioning: the spiders are yellow/neutral, not red. As a result, any way of exiting combat you have (Feign Death, Shadowmeld, etc.) will drop combat and allow you to continue up - there's no need to kill the spiders. I simply arcane shot, or if they weren't LOS, immolation trapped my way to the top, feigning death after I was pulled up each time.

Kommentar von grodon909

Tip for Night Elves (and anyone else with aggro reset), you can aoe a bunch of spiders and have them pull you up really high, then dump aggro when you get high up or when you take too much damage. For example, I hurricaned a mob that was in LoS, and it hit a mob far higher up (I think the top one, i was pulled, got the achievement, and pulled back down) and shadowmeld-ed before i died.

Also, once you reach the top, put on a short show (Something flashy) Maybe someone will see you and you can show them how to get this fun achievement as well!

Kommentar von eilensar

Easy enough achievement. Just hit a spider to anger it somehow and it will pull you up to it. Done it with a few different toons and noticed you can get yourself into a quick bind doing the AOE tricks people are posting. You can easily hit multiple spiders on different ledges which in turn bounces you around like a pinball. Another danger is some near the top, some spiders are right on the edge and when they pull you up there is a chance you will fall back down which may hurt a bit more so if they pull you up and drop you again. (happen with my hunter).

Kommentar von Mirouku

As an hunter with trap launcher it's a real fun and easy achi :) shoot @ fist spider and then u are nearly at top..then go with shot and trap and achi will appear..u can do last step only walkin...

Kommentar von 304801

Do keep in mind that if you jump too much on these it is possible to get stuck in between towers. I have to hearth out and fly all the way back to the molten front.

Kommentar von Lilithdrff

Super easy achievement on a priest, if you're LOS just mass dispell, just be careful on where you target it or you'll aggro surrounding spiders. Also, note if as you're being pulled up you fly past some those airborne druids of flame...you will aggro them. However, if you get pulled near the top, they appear to not follow and eventually lose aggro and leave.

Kommentar von 858302

Just wanted to say thank you to the person who posted about Druids being able to use Wild Mushroom to trigger the spiders when out of LoS. Worked like an absolute charm - was finished in less than 5 minutes.

Kommentar von Alex89254

I actually found a way up 80% of the way without the spiders (I didn't know to use them) Then i looked it up here and went "Oohhhhh"

Kommentar von 494651

Just did this as a paladin. Not particularly easy since we dont have a positional aoe or anything simple like that. Sadly I found that Holy Wrath doesn't quite have the range to hit the spiders. Best thing I found was that the spiders have a basically unlimited range on their "Death Grip". Jump off the rock and judge them when you're LOS and they'll pull you back up. Also, take your time and plan out each move. It really does help.

This man speaks the truth! My computer sucks so I about lagged out when I turned the setting up to ultra but it was totally worth it. Also, if you have some cool old armor take it with you for the screenshots. Here's a few that I took:

Kommentar von Hairband

For me as a Fury warrior, LOS was a big problem for me. I found one spider on the West that I could aggro... but it was a dead end. So I went East and found another one I could aggro and seemed stuck after it... then I backed up a teensy bit and found a sweetspot so I could aggro another. Keeping on the East side until the very end was not difficult if you try the 2-3 spiders you can and look for that sweet spot. I think I ended up killing about 6 spiders to get this, each time inching my way up. I did fall down once and have to wait for everything to respawn so be careful when you're inching your way back to find that spot.

Be somewhat creative and try different mobs to check LOS as I did find myself surprised some were in range that looked really angled up. I really didn't think I could do this at first, but obviously not giving up was the trick.

Kommentar von 718691

This has got to be one of my favorite achievements ever. I got it with my hunter by using trap launch to hurl immolation traps onto the ledges. A little tidbit for hunters, and I assume other ranged classes: you will be able to use any of your attacks on the spiders when you get onto the ledge with them, regardless of whether you aren't far enough away. I was standing right on top of the spiders and was able to use all of my shots. Also, your pet will pop up with you :)

Kommentar von 753137

Helpful easy hint for hunters.... attack, let it pull you up, once on the same pillar feign death to lose agro. This takes time, but can also let you heal up as the spiders are neutral and not aggressive.

Kommentar von kincaidkmf

Engineers, you can make some bombs and this gets a lot easier. I made a Kiste voller Bomben and was able to aggro spiders I couldn't hit otherwise.

Kommentar von Dorelei

After climbing to the top with my hunter, I was able to help my friend climb up too by misdirecting to him as soon as he was within targeting range. The spider would pull both of us to it, saving him a few extra jumps!

Kommentar von Iateyobabiez

Okay I hope I word this properly, I used an Arcane Mage and Arcane Barrage to aggro the Spinners so that they would pull me up. I stood near the Forlorn Spire and looked back at the largest mountain. There is a spinner about 30' - 40' up and I used barrage upon it. It pulled me up. Do NOT go to your right, go clockwise around the mountain letting the spiders pull you up. The previous posters suggestions are correct, kill each spider after it pulls you up. On the last three steps there are four spiders, they will play tug of war with you until you die. Lucky for me, I hit the spider on top and he pulled me up during the tug of war. I hope this helps.

Kommentar von Eclipsegirl

I did this today. It was fairly easy as I am a ranged caster. (Destr Lock).

I had to be careful at the second to last spider because while it webbed me, it didn't bring me onto the ledge. I actually had to hop to get on the ledge before I could kill it. Otherwise I would fall after I killed it and have to start over.

My LOS spells and the spiders forced me to start almost directly north of the mountains, very close to the quest givers. then worked myself around going to the east (clockwise).

Kommentar von elektroneg

Just tested - warlock's summon works, but if you are phased (no spiders or mobs aka you didnt do the Molten front access questline ) you wont get the achievement.

Kommentar von skag

As an Enhance Shaman I was really frustrated by the LOS problem, but as an Engineer I had of course some explosives on me and that worked perfectly.

Kommentar von 56184

Warlocks can use Rain of Fire on the pillars that do not have LoS... just did it, was at top in two mobs :) Easy Cheevee...

Kommentar von Anthela

Once you get the path down to get up there it is fairly easy. I aggroed a couple at once and was used as a ping pong ball which ended up killing me. But it is a pretty fun achievement to do.

Kommentar von 38292

I managed to do this, having used my Bow to shoot first and then get them to get the web to draw me up, however getting to the top three i got trangled with 3 spiders chopping and changing to three platforms, got the ach though :)

Kommentar von 723089

Would someone please tell me the coords for where we start the climb to the "Highest Point"? Thanks.

Kommentar von Drusin

Just a word of advice, don't aggro a spider that is above you before you kill the current one, if you do and get pulled up the spider below you will pull you back down.

Kommentar von blademage727

Two tips for hunters:

1) The obvious one -- if you don't want to deal with killing the spiders after each grab, then dismiss your pet before starting (or put it on passive) and then just feign after you get yanked up.

2) Not-so-obvious one -- if you end up unable to attack the next spider up due to LoS, use trap launcher to launch an immolation trap on the side of the ledge. The spider will set it off and that will get you aggro on it.

Kommentar von Astralon

If you're still searching for the starting point, go to 68,7 x 58,4 and face west.

Kommentar von 330590

If you have problems targeting the spiders on the ledge above you, mount up on your mammoth (or your tallest mount) to lift you up higher into their hit-box and then pop your spell. Works every time.

Kommentar von fredd13

Get the first move right, and this is trivial. Here's a 3-spider route that needs ranged attacks but no AoEs.

1) Stand at 68,57, facing NW. There should be a Cinderweb on a broad, shortish pillar directly in front of you and not all that far away. Attack it. (I've put up a screenshot of the start location, if you're having trouble finding the right place)

2) At the north edge of the pillar you should now be on is a smaller one, with its top only slightly higher up. Hop up onto it - you should now be at 68,55. Face SW towards the summit and look upwards. Just below and to the left of the summit is a Cinderweb in Line of Sight. Attack it.

3) You should now be right next to the Cinderweb on the summit. Attack it and enjoy your achievement.

Clearly, if someone else has been up recently, you may need to wait for a respawn or two. However, they spawn fast (and you should be able to see the old corpses to confirm that you're in the right locations).

Kommentar von Kottsifjar

As a prot warrior, easiest thing to do to aggro them from lower levels is just throw any thrown weapon you might have, or heroic throw. They will take you to the top with their entangling net. Just try to find the right spot to make the throwing possible.
Did same thing to go down, no need to jump and die ;)

Kommentar von 952779

Super easy. just hit and kill the spiders and they pull you up.

Kommentar von agground

As an arms warrior, when I was about 2 steps away, I just hit bladestorm and jumped up and down, managed to hit the one at the top and get pulled up

Kommentar von Wulfrick

Actually pretty easy, yet fun, achievement. Don't do what I (and others apparently) have done - get in a hurry and think you'll just zip right from one to the next, skip killing spider #1 for example and by the time you get to spider #3, #1 yanks you back (then my DoT kills #3 and I had to wait for them to respawn).

Kommentar von 562821

Taking fredd13's steps, I got this achievement easily. Because it can be confusing to figure out which spider on which ledge to attack, I screenshotted once I reached the top and submitted it along with simple 4 step instructions showing you exactly how to get to the top. Hopefully it will help! :)

Kommentar von shoxi

I was able to complete this achievement by using the guardian from the quest "The Wardens are Watching." The guardian did most of the damage to the spiders making the achievement alot easier then when I tried it alone. As a dk I was able to use Death and Decay when the spiders were LoS to aggro them.

Kommentar von 722042

Actually I did this on my warrior using the guide at http://landofodd.wordpress.com/2011/07/03/pyroarachnophobia-tips-tricks-for-king-of-the-spider-hill/. It worked 2nd try after I read it. I didn't use taunt, just shoot & heroic throw when it was available.

Kommentar von 987495

I did not see this listed, but I do not always have my coordinates turned on. So, if you do not have access to coodinates, here is how I did it.

Stand in between the two giant hill/pillars/mountains looking directly at the busted up Forlorn Spire. Ahead you will see the quest givers, Deldren Ravenelm, Anren Shadowseeker and a bunch of druids.

Turn directly to your left.

You will see a big structure made of a bunch of smaller pillars. On some of those pillars are "yellow" Cinderweb Spinners.

The concept is you aggro one spinner it pulls you up to his pillar level.

Kill it and go to the next.

I found it difficult to single target some of them. The Mammoth Mount trick did not work for me. However, an AoE (blizzard) worked for me. And they pulled me up to the top. I forgot to count, but for me, it was 5-8 spiders I had to go through.
