here is something really weird that ive noticed about the spider shield: in sens fortress at the part right before the switch that turns the balls direction, when you first get there right after onion bro there is a snake that ambushes you in a very tiny room from the left, right after the arrow trap. if you have a decent shield equipped like the caduceus kite shield or the knight shield and you have the spell hidden body active, that snake will see you for some reason, even tho you are invisible, if you however use a wooden shield or the spider shield or no shield at all in your offhand, then the snake dude will not see you as intended, so im guessing the spider shield has some unique properties along with wooden type shields. in blighttown ive observed similar weirdness, if you have hidden body active with the better shields then the blowdart guys will still see you, but if you have wooden shield or no shield then they wont, im guessing once again spider shield works too although i havent tested it yet, im 99% sure tho. it also has nothing to do with equip load either as both the spider shield and caduceus kite shield weigh exactly 3.0, its something else entirely.
