Craig_Perry Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 I went exploring and this happened, why is everything important behind killer bees?... any tips for killing bunches of killer beehives? I already died a few times cause of these so charging straight in is not an option my save has gone... MRW the rock lobaster killed me Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/29310-bees-always-the-bees/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
aredshroom Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Fire. I set a line of inflammability as much as possible, then try my best to lay waste to the area of killer bee hives. Either using the good old torch (lots of kiting) or middle-late game methods, fire staff or fire darts. Summer hounds are an awesome solution if you can pull them into the killer bee field and get out without dying. If you're patient enough, use Chester as a meatshield/distraction as you pull each hive's bees away, then destroy the hives one by one.

The most dangerous thing is to destroy the hives, then take out individual killer bees.

Norman1346 Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Personally I do not bother killing them at all. A beekeeper hat plus a log suit means that bees only deal 4% of their full damage. P.S. It is not always killer bees. I had a chess biome generate behind a cluster of spider dens instead. Have that happen once and you will feel better about the bees.

d2r Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 I will say about the bees that the huge army can be useful for destroying massed spiders. In one world, I was unfortunate enough to have the spider queen gathering set piece (the one where nine level 3 spider dens spawn in a clump - meaning that by the time you run into them, expect three or more queens) spawn right next to a killer bee blockade keeping me away from the Wooden Thing. Torch the hives, draw the bees to you, and lead them into the spider queen force. The bees can handily lay waste to even multiple spider queens. Absent a large spider force nearby to decimate the bees, raze just enough of the nests to clear a path you can walk through unmolested.

Norman1346 Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 I personally find spiders easier to fight, fewer in number I find spiders easier to kill too. The point is that you don't have to fight the bees at all. You can just run passed them only taking 1 or 2 percent damage to the beekeeper helmet and zero health damage. If you have to get passed the spider dens that sometime block the chess biome you most likely will have to fight them, as the slow movement on webbing will let them surround you if you try to run passed. You would most likely take damage on your weapon and armor, making the spider barrier the more costly of the two to get passed. At least for me.
