Suddenly you recall something you learned at the Kai Monastery many years ago. Steamspiders are commonly found in the hot and humid regions of Magnamund, though few ever grow to the size of the gigantic specimen that confronts you here. The smaller ones are especially vulnerable to acetic acid, and nests of steamspiders are usually destroyed with a liberal sprinkling of vinegar.

Armed with this knowledge, you pull the Jug of Vinegar from your Backpack. Then you hurl it at the giant arachnid as it tenses itself in readiness to attack.
