Location
The Mother Spore spawns inside the Hive Mind Deep, a region of radius 21 centred on -620, -160. It occupies slot 3 of 3 on that spawn table, and being a unique boss it clears only 0.6% of rolls — and only when no other instance is alive. It shares the table with 3 other creatures.
Others on this spawn table
- Spore Hopper 180 HP
- Myconid 260 HP
- Hive Crawler 180 HP
Strategy
- Only one may be alive in the region at a time — clear the trash first so nothing adds mid-fight.
- At 98 a hit, two connected swings will end most unarmoured players. Armour matters more than damage here.
