Save ammunition during the chase, then target the Titan Spinner’s exposed rear once you reach the arena. Use ladders to get a clear angle, shoot a nearby red explosive canister when the spider is close to stun it, and attack during the opening. Its mouth can also be shot to stagger it and expose its rear.

Before the arena: save your ammunition

The encounter begins with a chase before the arena fight. Avoid shooting the spider during this stretch: its front can absorb substantial damage without giving you a useful payoff. Spiderlings may appear along the route, but the hatchet is a better way to handle them than spending ammunition. Follow the route to the ladder that leads into the arena. Automaton West’s Titan Spinner guide and PowerPyx’s East Raccoon City walkthrough cover the encounter and approach.

How to damage the Titan Spinner

Prioritize the exposed rear

In the arena, aim for the spider’s exposed yellow rear. Its front is a poor target by comparison. Move around the arena to line up shots; the ladders provide elevation and can slow the spider as it climbs toward you.

Use explosives and the open mouth to create openings

If a red explosive canister is nearby, let the spider get close before shooting it. The blast can stun the boss, giving you time to attack its rear. When its mouth opens, shooting it can also stagger the spider and expose the rear. Use your strongest available weapon during these brief damage windows; the encounter guides do not establish a mandatory weapon or a definitive weapon ranking.

React to the spider’s attacks

Evade web projectiles

When the spider turns and fires webs, evade the projectiles, then use the brief opening to attack. It may also leave the arena and reappear elsewhere. Automaton West reports that it cannot attack while moving along the walls, which can give you a short chance to hit its moving rear.

Clear spiderlings with the hatchet

Spiderlings can jump at Leon and immobilize him. Use the hatchet to clear them and conserve ammunition, but avoid getting locked into the hatchet animation when the boss is close.

A simple arena plan

  1. Enter the arena with ammunition saved from the chase.
  2. Use the ladders and reposition to get a clear view of the exposed rear.
  3. Wait until the spider is close before shooting a red explosive canister.
  4. During the stun, or after staggering it with a shot to its open mouth, attack the rear with your strongest available weapon.
  5. Evade webs, use the hatchet on spiderlings, and respond quickly to the escape prompt if grabbed.

The encounter’s location and Titan Spinner name are described in the Automaton West guide; PowerPyx’s walkthrough provides additional route and grab-response details.
