Encounter Notes
Pilgrimage encounters share a common loot rotation pattern: clear early in the week so the highest-tier drops bank for the rest of your stamina spend. Arachne's three drops are the gear-flavored counterparts to Morphix's Good Boy items, so a Cosmos-and-Chaos rotation between the two pilgrimages will cover most launch-window ascension needs.

The first encounter is in Deal? Deal! at Ebisu Auction House. Jump over the flower shockwaves or time a Critical Dodge. When laser warning lines appear, move into a gap before the beams fire.
The darkness mechanic belongs to the story second phase: remain in the light to avoid freezing. Watch for the final strike in the attack sequence and parry it to leave Arachne vulnerable. The repeatable Pilgrimage encounter should not be assumed to include every story-only phase.
