JUST IN - Fight the Spider Queen!
by rioforce Wed 03 Aug 2011, 3:10 pm
Minifigures,
Alert status: Orange! The Spider Queen has fled Avant Gardens and escaped to Block Yard!
Deep in the large hidden caves behind the spider cave, the Spider Queen and her legion of Dark Spiderlings have been busy at work. Beyond the fog of the Spider Cave, a dark, twisty tunnel has recently been unearthed. It leads past the back of the Paradox Research Facility to a wide, spacious cavern… a cavern which has been taken over by Dark Spiderlings! Those tricky arachnids managed to repair the previously abandoned Rocket Launch Pad locked deep in the mines, allowing the Spider Queen to invade the defenseless Block Yard!
In the new “Power of the Nexus Force” update, new minifigures will be able to track and encounter the nefarious Spider Queen as part of a new quest line in Avant Gardens. Knowing the danger that arachnid royalty presents new explorers, the Block Yard Property Guard will soon carry powerful Nexus Force Faction gear, which fresh recruits will be able to borrow should they decide to face the Spider Queen alone.
If you have already joined a Faction and completed a lion’s share of Avant Gardens quests – never fear! You will be able to take on the Spider Queen without re-completing any missions via a new Spider Queen Battle instance – just use the repaired Launch Pad in the Maelstrom Mines! Make sure you bring her some tea and give her a stern talking to about her evil ways. If she doesn’t listen, you may need to use a stronger method of communication –a piping hot smack down! You’ll need to be quick on your feet if you want to dodge her ferocious Fireball, Waves of Fire, and Rain of Fire attacks!
Remember that the Spider Queen Battle is tuned for players early in the game – she is a resident of Avant Gardens, after all. Though her four-leggedness is not as tough as, say, Butterscorch, she is still mightier than several dozen of her fearsome children. Advanced players will want to take her down a few times not only to harvest her Achievement, but also to feel the zen-like satisfaction of squashing a really, really big bug, and experience one of the most unique and exciting battles in LEGO Universe!
If you have a minifigure that has landed in Avant Gardens before the Power of the Nexus Force releases, but has not completed all the missions there yet, we will complete these missions for you automatically to avoid any awkward overlapping. You will find all of the Mission rewards waiting for you in your Mailbox and the appropriate amount of U-Score will be added to your Passport!
If you start a new minifigure after the Power of the Nexus Force releases, you will notice many new changes to the Venture Explorer Spaceship and Avant Gardens zones.

RIOFORCE'S COMMENTS:
Oh, dear! Here it comes! The Boss! People have been talking about this since Alpha! And now it is here! Wow! As you have read, it i going to be a kind of instance. But in the Block Yard! Does this mean it will be in Free-To-Play? I guess I'll just have to wait and find out! As you also read, this boss will be a slightly easier boss. It is easier that Butterscorch, but stronger than the Dark Spiderlings in AG! There will also be changes on the Venture Explorer and Avant Gardens! A Ninjago area anyone? File-Divers have found a Ninjago 3D model and missions, and also at Brickfair there will be Ninjago in AG. So will any of this tie into Free-To-Play? I doubt it, but you can NEVER be sure...

Just saw it! I hate how they changed Spider Boss' name to Spider Queen! But I will fight them 100,000,000 times for my anger that it took just under 2 years to be released.

@Nealybealy I know! How rude! How dare the devs change the name of the boss! If it is free-to-play, I will smash her ONCE (Or however many times I feel like it) AND FOR ALL!

It is completely uncalled for that they change it to a "her". I didn't think they needed a Queen, since the Maelstrom creates one creature over and over... Enough detail there. But the Devs really hit rock bottom by changing the name. I am ashamed to fight this "Spider Queen" when the real menace was Spider Boss. Would he turn and run to a Block Yard? NO.rioforce wrote:@Nealybealy I know! How rude! How dare the devs change the name of the boss! If it is free-to-play, I will smash her ONCE (Or however many times I feel like it) AND FOR ALL!

1. The Spider Boss has always been a she. She is the one who lays the eggs.
2. I agree. It's quite shameful for the most ancient boss to be so weak... but perhaps they'll place a modified version of her on Crux Prime some day?

She's weak because she's old. She's probably 4 or 5 years old now! (And that's OLD for LU animation
)

hmm well your right that she lays the eggs... and yeah the crux prime dragons are tougher then the fv dragons especially butterscorch, so maybe there'll be spider queen invader. but I acttually am starting to doubt it unless they MOVE spider boss from ag to cp. hmmm maybe spider boss will go around like on a "tour" and go to every world except maybe ns and NxT

I'm excited, but disappointed. People have been waiting forever for this, and it's a enemy for new players. They should habd made you have a choice when you fight him. Minifigs should be able to choose a easy, medium, or hard instance. I hope you get good loot from him!

I know about the Eggs in that Spider Cave video. But if you remember, the Maelstrom creates all its' creatures. There aren't Stromling Queens or Maelstrom programmers [yet]! So you can assume the Maelstrom just spews out the Maelstrom and they land on the world. Aw who am I kidding, it's a video game. Just stay simple.FD_LegoFan101 wrote:1.

Yup! Just a kid's game! There doesn't have to be an explanation for EVERYTHING!

Lol. They need explanations for more things. Just an explanation about Spider Boss' Name change BESIDES the fact that Spiderlings come from somewhere..
