RESIDENT EVIL REQUIEM Giant Spider Yields Thomas the Tank Engine Mod

A particularly unsettling scene in the new horror game, Resident Evil Requiem, is causing distress for players who fear spiders. About halfway through the game, players encounter a remarkably realistic and frightening spider boss. Many are calling it a terrifying experience – one fan described it as “the worst” they’ve ever had in a video game, and numerous Reddit discussions confirm how upsetting it is. Surprisingly, a cheerful train momentarily offers some relief. Be aware that the following details contain major spoilers for Resident Evil Requiem.


The new game, Resident Evil Requiem, was released recently, and players are already buzzing about it – especially one particularly frightening boss. About halfway through the game, in Raccoon City, players face a massive, incredibly realistic spider. It’s not only huge, but also very fast, and this combination is causing a lot of anxiety for people who are afraid of spiders, making them hesitant to play.

Arachnophobics, how is it in the new game ?

One fan, Tasty_James, described the game Resident Evil Requiem as awful for people with arachnophobia. They explained that, like their difficulty with spider scenes in Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings, this game was a truly frightening experience. The spiders are large, detailed, and move incredibly quickly, making it the most terrifying thing they’ve ever encountered in any game—and possibly in any media, overall.

The game Requiem doesn’t offer a way to skip its spider encounter, which can be scary for those with arachnophobia. Luckily, the section is short, fairly easy, and mostly over after dealing with one big spider and a few small ones. Players have been trying all sorts of things to avoid the scene, like playing without glasses or having a friend take control. But there’s a solution: a mod on NexusMods that replaces the spider with the face of Thomas the Tank Engine. Choose your preferred way to face it!

Thomas the Tank Engine Can Save You!

Choo choo!

I’m not afraid of spiders, so it’s hard for me to say which of these is more frightening. But I definitely wouldn’t want to encounter either one! PC players can choose to avoid the spiders if they want, though this mod isn’t available on consoles. Or, you could just play without looking! You can get Resident Evil Requiem now.
