[Bee Queen Strategy] Wilson Tanking With Maze Next To River

[goatt]

This is an okay strategy but is possible for any characters to do since Bee Queen usually (90% of the time?) spawns near to water.

The upside is that it requires little skills, and the battle is fast.

It costs 8 marble suits, 5 beekeeper hats, 12 pierogies, 1 hambat, 60 fences/walls, 1 gate, 10% panflute, and a boat.

It can accommodate more than one player by adding extra room at the end.

It can be further improved with bigger maze and better weapon. For example, see spoiler.

This setup cost 6 (or 5.5) marble suits, 3.5 beekeeper hats, around 120 fences/walls.

 

After grumble bees can no longer get stuck at the entrance of simple mazes (because of the new patch), this is the next best thing, I think. The basic idea is to lower grumble bees' attack frequency by making them travel extra distance. The distance inside first maze in the video is about 30, the distance inside the maze in the spoiler is about 66.

Using dark sword instead will improve the efficiency by 12%. For example, it will cost 5 marble suits and 3 beekeeper hats in the setup in the spoiler.

Eating vege healings will improve the efficiency

 

This setup is lethal to Wanda, don't try, because Wanda's healing can be interrupted by any attacks, which makes it impossible for her to get full 8 ages from using ageless watch.

 

some tips:

1. (Very important) In creating mazes, make sure there are a straight path of at least 8 walls at the end near water, so that grumble bees don't fall back into maze and have to travel from the outside of the maze.

2. The timing of eating healing is crucial. Failure of doing so will cost you durability of armor. That's why non-meat healing food are far more superior.

 

(I tried locking bunnies in the middle of the maze, far from bee queen, to kill grumble bees that passed by, it didn't improve the efficiency).

 

I'm building thing based on ideas already exist out there (tho I don't know who to credit to).

I am surprised BQ wall strategies are not more common compared to how common the Dfly wall strats are. Virtually everyone I see that is not speedrunning the game kills Dfly using wall method, but very few do so with BQ.

Probably BQ wall methods are unpopular because they are a bit more complex to setup than the line of walls at Dfly.

In pubs such BQ setup won't last long, I reckon not even a season before being obliterated out of malice (griefing) or lack of knowledge (newbies/noobs/casuals f-ing it up via environment hazards).
