This does come with all the normal problems when a follower dies, so brace for the faith hit. Shamura will also pop by to ramble on for a bit, but then she brings one of your followers in to fight you. Be sure to break everything in her room as the drops are usually money, healing, gifts, or other decent items. Forneus is a new vendor in this area, you'll want to grab any follower form she's offering as well as Ambrosia for 30 coins. I also found that sometimes the traps in this dungeon didn't deactivate when a room was cleared, so be careful of that.

Keep breaking everything in every room to start earning spider silk as a drop, you may need it for some buildings. The enemies nearly always glitch in these floors in the Cradle, softlocking you and forcing you to abandon your run. In game version 1.0.1, AVOID THE FOLLOWER FLOORS when selecting your path. After a certain amount of time, they will burst forth to attack as a second wave of sorts. Sometimes spiders will wait in eggs on the floor or sacks on the ceiling. If they're not glitched, dodge their return and they'll get stuck in the ground where you can easily attack and finish them off. TRY NOT TO LET THEM LEAVE like this, since in version 1.0.1, they can get stuck out of bounds and softlock you. If they toss a line of web behind them, they'll leave the area and place a target where they are returning. They tend to lunge at you, which can be hard to spot amongst the background of some rooms. I found the Cradle to be pretty tough due to the erratic movement of the spiders and the prevalence of glitches.
