Widow Maker's Lair
You will find the Widow Maker here.
The first room you enter is full of Bone Collectors and Hatchlings who will swarm all over you. An area spell is very necessary here as it would be essentially impossible to deal with them all one by one. Once you have eliminated all of them, you will find a fiery barrier blocking your way.
In each corner of the first room is a Fade Generator. You must destroy each Fade Generator in succession. You will get a message "The barrier is weakened" and Bone Collectors will begin coming out of the floor each time you destroy a machine. Deal with each batch, and after all the Fade Generators and their creations are destroyed the barrier will disappear.
This will grant you access to Widow Maker's actual lair. The Widow Maker is a giant Black Widow Spider who has the ability to generate groups of Hatchlings. When she and her broods are finally destroyed, the Boss Gate will open to four treasure chests and the portal to Frump's Interdungeonal Resort.
