11Queen's Fangs is an Abyss Gear core dropped by the Queen Spider after clearing the Queen of the Silkspun Citadel quest at Arboria Castle. The core adds poison damage to stab attacks, making it a natural pickup for stab-heavy Kliff builds.22Effect55Adds poison / venom damage-over-time to Stab attacks and other thrust-based abilities.Stacks with elemental imbues on the same weapon, so a stab build can apply both poison and a second element on the same hit.Rated among the higher-DPS Abyss Gear picks for a thrust-based playstyle.77How to Get99Progress the House Celeste / House Serkis questline until the Silkspun Citadel quest opens.Travel to Arboria Castle and defeat the Queen Spider.Queen's Fangs drops from the boss on clear.1111Queen's Fang drops from the Queen Spider boss at Arboria Castle on the Hill of No Return. The boss fight is part of the "Queen of the Silk Spun Citadel" quest (also called "Queen's Nest"), which becomes available after completing the House Roberts, House Alfonso, and House Circus quest lines (at least 10 of 13 Circus quests must be finished). Once these prerequisites are met, Arboria Castle becomes overrun with spiders and the boss encounter activates.1313How to Use1515Visit a witch (see Witch Workshops) to open a socket on the weapon you plan to slot Queen's Fangs into.Embed the core into the socket at Sylvia or any other workshop witch.Weapons with a native "Stab" command benefit most. Daggers, rapiers, and other piercing weapons all take the bonus.1717See Also1919Queen SpiderQueen of the Silkspun CitadelAbyss Cores2121Farming Notes2323Queen's Fangs are most useful as part of a route that also covers nearby enemies, resources, or points of interest. Check the drops table before farming it directly, then follow the linked creature-family, biome, and material pages to decide whether the same route covers other needed materials.2525Overview2727Queen's Fang is an Abyss Core obtained by defeating the Queen Spider at Arboria Castle in the Hernand region. It is a weapon-slot Abyss Core that adds poison to stab attacks, making it one of the most sought-after augments for players who favor thrust-based combat styles. The poison effect applies a lingering damage-over-time debuff on enemies, dealing continuous damage after the initial stab connects.2929Queen's Fang is especially effective on spear-type weapons, which have strong stab attacks built into their movesets. The combination of a spear's rapid thrust chains with the poison application from Queen's Fang creates one of the higher sustained DPS setups in the game.3131Stats and Effects3333AttributeDetailsTypeAbyss Core (Weapon Slot)EffectAdds poison to stab attacksCharged Stab EffectSprays poison forward, dealing area damage and applying a poison lingering effectStatus AppliedPoison (damage over time)SourceQueen Spider boss at Arboria Castle3535How it Works3636When Queen's Fang is equipped, every stab attack performed with the socketed weapon carries a poison payload. Normal stabs apply a small amount of poison buildup to the target. The real power comes from charged stabs: performing a charged stab causes a forward poison spray that hits enemies in a cone in front of the player. This spray deals immediate damage on contact and applies a stronger poison lingering effect that continues dealing damage over several seconds.3838The poison lingering effect stacks with repeated applications, meaning that landing multiple charged stabs in succession ramps up the total damage-over-time significantly. Against bosses with large health pools, this sustained poison pressure can contribute substantial damage over the course of a fight.4040How to Equip4242Like all Abyss Cores, Queen's Fang must be equipped through Elowen the Witch, who provides Abyss Gear services after completing the Witch of Wisdom questline. To equip Queen's Fang, visit Elowen and select "Create Socket" to add a weapon socket if your weapon does not already have one. Then select "Embed Abyss Gear" and choose Queen's Fang from your inventory. The core occupies one weapon socket and can be swapped out later if you want to try a different Abyss Core.4444Best Weapon Pairings4646Queen's Fang performs best on weapons that have strong stab attacks in their movesets. The poison application is tied specifically to stab-type attacks, so weapons with few or no stab moves will not benefit much from this core.4848Spears (Recommended)5050Spears are the ideal pairing for Queen's Fang. Spears have multiple stab attacks built into their basic combo chains, including a rapid six-thrust assault when chaining basic attacks into the Stab skill with correct timing. Every thrust in that chain can apply poison, making spears the highest-throughput option for poison buildup. The spear's natural reach also keeps you at a safe distance while stacking poison on the target.5252One-Handed Swords5454Some one-handed swords include forward thrust attacks in their combo strings. While not as stab-focused as spears, one-handed swords benefit from Queen's Fang on those specific moves. The faster overall attack speed of one-handed swords can compensate for having fewer stab opportunities per combo.5656Two-Handed Swords5858Most two-handed swords are slash-oriented rather than stab-oriented, which means Queen's Fang provides less value on these weapons. If your primary weapon is a two-handed sword, consider a different Abyss Core that benefits from slash or overhead attacks instead.6060Comparison with Other Abyss Cores6262Queen's Fang fills a specific niche as a sustained damage-over-time augment. Unlike Abyss Cores that provide flat stat increases or burst damage modifiers, Queen's Fang rewards consistent aggression with stab attacks. It is most effective in longer fights where the cumulative poison damage has time to add up, such as boss encounters and elite enemy fights.6464For players who prefer burst-oriented playstyles or use weapons that rely on slash and overhead attacks, other Abyss Cores may be a better fit. However, for spear users and anyone who leans into stab-heavy combat, Queen's Fang is one of the best Abyss Cores available.6666Tips6868Equip Queen's Fang on a spear for maximum poison application. Spears have the most stab attacks of any weapon type.Use charged stabs to trigger the forward poison spray for area damage and stronger poison buildup.The poison lingering effect stacks, so landing multiple stabs in quick succession ramps up your total damage-over-time output.Queen's Fang is especially strong against bosses with large health pools, where sustained poison damage contributes significant total damage over the fight.If your weapon lacks stab attacks, consider a different Abyss Core. The poison only applies on stab-type moves, not slashes or overhead swings.Visit Elowen the Witch to socket Queen's Fang into your weapon. You need a free weapon socket or must create one first.Pair Queen's Fang with the spear's six-thrust chain (basic attack into Stab skill with correct timing) for the fastest possible poison application.
