Offered when you first come across the Giant Spider
A spider the size of a cart, that walks up walls and across ceilings and wraps its prey in silk. Most people run. The professor would like to know whether it ever chases them, and he would like Pip not to find out first.

In the Dark
Watch a wild giant spider in its dark places: weaving webs where the light is low, lying in wait for prey, clicking to its kind at night, or resting still by day.

Spider Silk
The professor wants to compare the giant's silk with an ordinary spider's. Gather string and keep it in your pack: he only needs to know you have it.
-
Pip in the Web
Pip went to sketch the giant spider from a safe distance. Something smaller and much less patient found her first: a nest of cave spiders has her wrapped up in the dark.

Find Pip and drive off the cave spiders

Unarmoured Trust
A giant spider never trusts an armoured stranger. Take your armour off, offer it five spider eyes one at a time, then climb on and ride it until it accepts you.
-
Into the Deep
A giant spider sees in the dark, and so do its riders. Ride yours down into the deep caves, below the level of the sea's floor and further still.
