Things begin innocuously enough here, but don't expect that the trend will last very long. Move forward down the linear cave, and you'll soon encounter an opening. There's a chasm ahead and below you, so you'll need to evade it. Do so by dropping down and hanging onto the nearby ledge, and shimmying to your left.
Jump upward to grab onto ledges above, and shimmy to the left again. Then, follow the on-screen prompt to safely jump backwards, across the chasm and to the safety of a ledge.We use the word safety lightly here, however, because as soon as Gabriel lands, a Giant Spider shows up and begins to stalk him. Gabriel doesn't see the spider until it's too late, and before he knows it, the Giant Spider is on top of him. Follow the on-screen prompt to lift the spider off of you, and then get ready for a battle. The Giant Spider can hack and slash with his arms, and he can also shoot a web at Gabriel that will paralyze you (follow the on-screen prompt if and when this happens to break loose). Return the favor with incessant whip attacks.
Feel free to supplement the attacks with dagger throws as well, though the spider can dodge them. The Giant Spider will prove to be a damage sponge, but he's not a huge challenge apart from the amount of damage he can sustain.
You may want to consider using your Light Magic to heal yourself during the fight if you're taking a lot of damage yourself.When the Giant Spider is slain, you'll only find a single way to progress forward. Move towards the opening ahead, and swing your way over to the whip hook there. In the next area, you'll need to grapple down a wall to safely reach the floor below. Be sure not to let go until you rappel downward, or you won't survive the fall, and will have to try again.When you land in this new area, you're going to be immediately assailed by a plethora of Lesser Lycanthropes. You'll want to take care of these guys as quickly and as efficiently as possible. Because while you're fighting them, a second Giant Spider will show up and attack. Because of the fact that there's a limited number of Lesser Lycanthropes that spawn, the quicker you work through them as soon as you land, the less of them you'll have to fight simultaneous to your battle with the Giant Spider.

Your best bet here is to fight the Giant Spider only after all of the Lesser Lycanthropes are slain, but the same rules apply here as in the earlier fight with the arachnid. Dodge his attacks and pummel him when it's safe. Light Magic will again help if you're losing health.
