Hives of the Giants (from Pode)

The Hives of the Giants

This zone is simple when you know dirs.
There are 3 hives that connect to one another, and the last hive is CPK.
the last hive is where you get globs (sanc food) and queens thorax (hp/mana body or shield)
There are several mobs here that charm, but I only use curious bears and that is what this walk through will cover.
drone bees also charm, but I do not bother.

First this is quick dirs to cpk incase you gotta get there in a hurry:
all east (5 e), 2 up, west, 2 up, east, 2 down, 6 east, 2 up, north, west, 2 up, north, 2 down, 3 north
West is CPK.


Ok now here is the step by step walk through.
Get your charms!
Charms load in second hive and in 3rd hive, they're called "curious bears"
A large, brown bear sniffs curiously at the ground
There are usually 2 in the second hive, and 2 in the 3rd hive before cpk.
I grab all 4
dirs from ent to second hive are:
all east (5 e), 2 up, west, 2 up, east, 2 down
walking east you will see 2 curious bears on this path. charm them
take them to the third hive with you.
dirs to 3rd hive from the 2nd hive ent is:
6 east, 2 up, north, west, 2 up, north (cramped), 2 down
If there are mobs in the cramped room you will have to kill them or lure them and bring your charms through 1 at a time.
Walking north from here you will see 2 more curious bears, charm them.
Go all north, tick and invis. and west is the cpk entrance.
The globs load in the room with the queen that loads the thorax, and in a couple rooms right around her.
When you are ready, with your bears, go 4 west, up , north, east, up, south, up, 2 east
so its w,y,w,w,w,u,n,e,u,s,u,e,e
autoassist off
order followers kill queen
unform yourself
sanc your bears
get glob(s) in room
go north, west. get glob cell
east, 2 south, west. get glob wall
east north, back to queen. queen should be dead or close to it, so just hang here and loot the thorax when she dies.

Last thing of note is the mob: The Honey Thief.
he floats around zone. He is hidden.
If you want, find him with your charms, and kill him. he loads really nice elem neck eq. (DR/STR)
And thats hives.
