Patch Notes:
Fixed a bug that would create too many veteran cave spiders during “Escort Nokta into the Great Tree as he looks for potential pets.”
A lot of spiders are still spawning and Nokota refuses to fight the champion bat. His dialogue responds to the player after the player says hello. But his aggro range is huged, I killed the trolls and every single spider. He walked up to the champion bat and turned around. This event has been bugged for over two weeks, I did send an in-game bug report as well.
