Broodmother Lysrix (Gamma) — Background & Lore
Broodmother Lysrix (Gamma) is the easiest difficulty of the giant spider boss and usually the first boss a tribe beats. The tribute is cheap, and it still drops 
Element and the first Tek engrams.
Where to find it
It uses the same boss arenas as the other difficulties, on The Island, The Center, Valguero, Crystal Isles and Fjordur. It exists in both ASA and ASE.
How to get one
Like the other Broodmothers, it cannot be tamed and is immune to torpor. Summon it at the boss terminal at level 30 or higher. The tribute is one 
Artifact of the Clever, the Hunter and the Massive. Fjordur also asks for a 
Beyla Relic.
Uses
- Rewards: Element, a
Spider Flag, the 
Gamma Broodmother Trophy and Gamma-tier Tek engrams.
Tips
Its webs slow anything they hit, and its attacks build torpor, so stay mounted. A small team of tamed Rexes is enough for most tribes. Kill the 
Araneo minions as they spawn.
