Select the accessibility menu option which is identified by the symbol that looks like a person in a circle. Scroll down to the bottom of this new menu and you will see the option for arachnophobia mode.

You can turn arachnophobia mode on and off at will from this menu with no fancy wand work required. Keep in mind that it won’t affect your gameplay. This means that all of the spider enemies will still have the same attacks as if they weren’t magically transformed.

With the arachnophobia mode turned on, you will see spiders as little creatures with roller skates. Their bodies will still slightly resemble that of a bug but be nowhere near what an actual spider looks like. There will be no need to fly away from them.

All of the spiders in the game will be altered by this magical effect crafted by the Portkey Games devs. Even if you are in battle when you turn the mode on, the spiders will instantly transform without the need to reload an area.
