The Spiral Weave Delve Guide: Location, Boss Strategies, and Trash
This page will cover everything you need to know about the Spiral Weave Delve in the War Within Expansion, including strategies for events, trash, and bosses.
Getting into The Spiral Weave
The Spiral Weave is a Delve located on the North side of Azj-Kahet, Khaz Algar.

This guide will provide all the specifics you need to complete The Spiral Weave across all tiers of difficulties (from Tier 1 to Tier 11). We will cover delve events, optional bosses (rares), as well as end of the dungeon boss and their abilities. If you would like to learn about the rest of the Delves in Season 1, please see our overviews linked below.
The Spiral Weave Layout

Events in The Dread Pit
Event #1 — 0/1 Peculiar Nerubian slain
Trash Mobs in this Area
- Interrupt Peculiar Nerubian's
Shadow Bolt as often as you can, any spare kicks should go for
Shadows of Strife(if you let the cast expire or is dispelled, it will knock you backward, so beware!).
Event #2 — 0/100% Spider Swarm cleared
Once you enter the Treasure room, a handful of Ankle Biters will appear (does nothing but auto-attacks). Upon slaying enough, you will finish the quest and progress into the final Event of the Delve.
Event #3 — 0/8 Puppets rescued
Rescue 0/8 puppets (you will be interrupted if there are mobs around them, hence
why you want to kill anything nearby!) by using your Antitoxin ability on your
extra-button bar to progress to the final boss of the Delve.

Trash Mobs in this Area
- Interrupt Fungal Rotcaster's
Rotten Bolt. In addition, do your best to avoid
Infectious Spores Disease ground effect, as this will make the rest of the Delve a hell!
- Interrupt Kobyss Witherer's
Abyssal Surge cast.
- Interrupt Kobyss Necromancer's
Necrotic Bolt and avoid their
Defiling Breath frontal.
- Interrupt Nightfall Hopestealer's
Shadow Bolt.
- Interrupt Weeping Shade's
Death Bolt.
- Any spare kicks should be focused at Nightfall Shadeguard's
Blessing of Dusk.
The Puppermaster Boss Guide
The puppermaster is an event that consists of 3 stages of non-boss-enemies.

- During Stage 1, you will face 4 Skittering Swarmer type of mobs
that will just hit you hard with their auto-attacks and
Skitter Charge at a random location.
- Second, Stage 2 will introduce 3Nerubian Captain like-mobs, with
only one ability to stop
Webbed Aegis. In addition, they will use its
Wide Swipe frontal attack, which can be easily sidestepped.
- At last, Stage 3 will be the final challenge, where the boss himself will appear.
Avoid their
Jagged Barbs frontal and use defensive during
Stinging Swarm AoE channel.
