Not all crypts contain these spawners. You just have been gotten by RNG, is it good or bad depends on you.
Look from where they are coming from, weaken them with bow before going in to smash them and then venturing towards the spawner. It will be a pile of something on the floor making some noise and outputting some vapors. You will be able to smash it in about 6 hits. It might feel like a challenge at this point but that's the point of it. To make it a challenge, that is because otherwise it would all be bit too easy.
Just try and not die at the spawner as then recovering gear will be actual challenge
