Stepping on the pressure switch in the middle of the temple will cause water to pour in from the vents on two sides of the temple. You need to lure the Spider Queen over to one of the vents so you can hit the switch and force her off of the wall. She is attracted to the pollen released by Flower Bombs; lock onto the Flower Bomb below the Spider Queen and tap the RT/R2 button to send one of your Minions over to pick it up.
When your Minion has plucked up the Flower Bomb, use the Right Stick to move the Minion below one of the vents along the adjacent wall. Tap the B/Circle button to call the Minion back, and wait for the Flower Bomb to go off. The Spider Queen will crawl over to the pollen released by the flower; hit the pressure switch in the middle of the temple when she is over the vent to force her off of the wall. Lock onto the Spider Queen and hold the RT/R2 button to send your Minions over. You should have a Horde of just Brown Minions; if not, there are Brown, Red, and Green Minion Gates along the walls that you can use to send all but your Browns back to the Netherworld. Hack away at the Spider Queen yourself, and continue to do so until she flips back onto her legs and climbs back onto the wall.
The Spider Queen will send Spiders in to attack, so take care of them, and then shift your sights to the queen once more. Things are a bit different the second time; the four pressure switches—one in each corner of the temple—must be activated before the switch in the middle of the temple will trigger the water from the vents. If you take too long, the Spider Queen may crawl down to attack; avoid her, and she will eventually return to the walls.
Sweep your Minions around to each of the pressure switches, and then use a Flower Bomb to lure the Spider Queen back to one of the vents. Hit the pressure switch in the middle of the temple when she reaches the vent, then lock-on, send your Minions in, and move in to attack.
When the Spider Queen returns to the walls a second time, she will instead take position above one of the four switches in the corners of the temple. Sweeping your Minions onto the switch she is hanging over is a sure-fire way to lose them. Youll have to lure her away from the switch so your Minions can press it, but first, use your Minions to hit the three switches in the other corners of the temple.
Once all three switches have been pressed, use one of your Minions to move a Flower Bomb over to the vent closest to the Spider Queen. When the bomb goes off, sweep your Minions onto the last switch, and then step onto the switch in the middle of the temple to trigger the water and force the Spider Queen off of the wall. Send your Minions in and hack away at her until she returns to the walls.
Do the same as you did the previous time to get the Spider Queen off of the wall, and move in to finish her off. Be sure to collect the mass of Green Orbs she leaves behind.
