Companion

The Spider

Last checked 2026-11-03

The Spider is a companion who speaks in an old register. The only in-game hint the wiki mentions is graffiti in the women’s restroom. Recruitment is a chain of large Shades, one on each floor, and a secret door that only answers when Sam is alone.

Alone at the secret door

Stats on the companion table: level 1, 200 HP, 10 attack, and a high ballistics score. The kit is web and equipment rather than a cleaver or a song. I am not pasting a full skill grid, because the article points at an equipment list that changes with what you feed the web.

The door sits under the bottom-floor stairway, and the Meat World has its own meeting. Since patch 2.01 the wiki drops the old maximum-Danger requirement. I treat that as a version change, not as “Danger never mattered.” Older videos that demand a full meter are describing a rule the patch note retired.

Recruiting without a guide is called almost impossible on that page. I believe the tone, and I still will not add steps the page does not list. Beat the large Shade on each floor. Be alone at the secret door. The Spider Husk, afterward, moves to Mutt’s Fish and Chips. That shop is the epilogue of the recruit, not the start.

Fighting the Spider instead of recruiting it is the other search. The page allows the fight. It does not give a weakness percentage I can put in a cell, so the cell stays empty.

Questions

Do you have to be alone?

Yes. The secret door is only interactable when Sam has no companion with him.

Is there still a Danger cap?

Not since 2.01, according to the Miraheze Spider page.
