Area

– Buzzbo

The H.I.V.E is an area in, and the focus of, the Mod of the same name. It is mostly identical to, and replaces, the Hive.

Description

Particular to the H.I.V.E are structures built out of brown and translucent honey-like materials. The architecture also follows a hexagonal shape reminiscent of honeycombs.

Along the floor, in egg-like clumps, are globs of honey - some of which contain caches of Geo. Platforms within the area bear a hexagonal design and also appear to be formed from hardened honey. Some of these platforms, and even a wall within the H.I.V.E, are cracked, making them vulnerable to being shattered by the speeding bulk of a Kamikabee. Found supporting the structure, are large brown pillars placed in various locations inside the H.I.V.E and providing illumination are hanging lights made out of nectar. The H.I.V.E is decorated with rod-like protrusions from the ground, which emit a dull light and crystallised honeycombs which are also densely scattered in the area. In the lower regions of the structure are chairs, tables, and shelves, all sharing a hexagonal design.

In several locations, there are Windex Pods hanging from the ceiling and from platforms, constantly birthing new Bullet Beels.

How to Access

Replaces the Hive. As such, the H.I.V.E can be accessed once the Knight obtains the Tram Pass and takes it to Kingdom's Edge. Heading east, they come across a wall patrolled by a few stray Bullet Beels. Either wall-jumping and hitting the wall with the Nail or simply firing a Vengeful Spirit/Shade Soul Spell destroys the hidden, breakable wall and grants the Knight access to the H.I.V.E.
