The hive is located in the south central region of Un'Goro. There's only one entrance, which is clearly visible on the map. When you enter the cave, just keep right, with the exception of a few little niches that are obviously not the correct route. You'll wind up at a small room that contains the crystal mentioned in the quest text.

When you use the lure, you'll face three waves of enemies: 2 guards, then 3 guards, then 2 guards and queen. If you lure them out into the hallway, you can rest between waves. Good luck!

By the way, the Alien Ecology quest (https://classicdb.ch/?quest=3883) can be completed in the same room.

Ok, the hive is located in Un'Goro.&nbsp

When you enter the hive, take a right and head straight.&nbsp Keep going until you hit a hatchery.&nbsp It should be NW.&nbsp

Good luck.

Pull them out into the hallway before the room and then you can rest in between waves. The monsters spawn in the room only.

1st wave: 2 54 nest guardians
2nd wave: 3 54 nest guardians
3rd wave: 2 54 nest guardians + 56 queen

Can do it solo as long as you can take out 3 54's at a time. I would recommend doing it at 55+ unless you are grouped. I did it solo as a rogue and it was pretty easy didnt even have a healing potion on me.

FYI, this quest is both a reference to the game of Chess and the book / movie Starship Troopers. In which a low level soldier captures a large brain bug.

You must complete Bungle in the Jungle (https://classicdb.ch/?quest=4496) to get this quest.

ok this is UN GORO CRATER ant loc 44.81 not in Tanaris as i through a while

But with problems. Here is what I did.

Went to 50 78 (Hive entrance) and turned right. Stay to the right. You can prowl the entire way.

Gorishi Silithid Crystal is in a cavern to the right. It is a pointy rock pillar looking thing. Cleared the tunnel to the cavern then the cavern itself.

Used Gorishi Queen lure on Crystal and ran up the tunnel (Thanks for the good idea). It spawned 2 53 level guards which I killed in bear form then rested.

It then spawned 8 more (#$%^&!) one of which was the queen. All between 53 and 56 (Queen). Two of those may have been respawn from earlier room clean as they were not guards.

Pulled those two from the tunnel (One at a time) and killed them then rested. This left 5 guards and the queen.

Tried pulling one guard but they all came and slaughtered me.

Floated from graveyard back and rezed in tunnel. Healed and rested.

Popped a greater Stoneshield potion and hit the queen with spells (Starfire, wraith and Moonbeams). Switched to bear form. All of them came into the tunnel. Killed the queen but was slaughtered by her 5 guards. Did not need the Stoneshield as could of killed the queen without it.

Floated back from graveyard and rezed. Looted her body (In the tunnel). Waved to her guards back in the room and left. Quest done.

In retrospect it might have been a good idea to also pop a nature protection potion to stop the Acid damage but do not remember if Acid damage is considered Nature damage or not.

It's worth pointing out that if you take your time luring them out into the hall, the queen can despawn, and you don't get the lure back. Make sure you don't take too long to get to the queen once she appears.

Don't under estimate this damn mob. 53 Hunter and 55 Mage could get to the last wave with queen but couldn't keep things controlled to kill her and stay alive. Bring some help.

If you die, you may not have lost. The Queen will stay active for awhile (if you got to the third wave); I ran back and nuked her down and then died again to her guards, as a mage.

The best advice to win the game:
- when the first 2 mobs comes after place lure near crystal, run now to the hallway!
- kill them
- next 3 mobs spawns not in the hallway, but in the room. You can recover now, because they stay in the room.
- pull 1 on 1 if possible to hallway
- kill them
- recover in hallway, the queen is now visible.
- pull 1 mob now fartest from queen, another can come automatic, but queen stays near crystal. Don't try pull queen first, mobs can come to you.
because high respawn rate of normal mobs, staying in hallway is very good idea (1 mob showed up already when 2nd wave just started...)
- now you can kill another mobs first when respawned
- kill queen without much problem

It may be group rated quest, but the best trick is to leave the room and stay in the hallway, pull them in hallway, and everyone around level 55 can do it solo.
Doing it with l56 shaman, thanks to disease and poison removing totems. And another totems are helpfull too. :)
Put totems before lure in the hallway!

And the room you need is most right, in the north, with many bright bubbles. The crystal is a bit behind the room, at left.

If you fail, you no longer have a lure to try again.&nbsp You have to go all the way back to gadget, abandon the quest, and start again (or try to find someone else with a lure and team up with them).
