Behavior

The Killer Bee Queen is found in a circular room with a pool of Killer Honey in the middle at the end of the Nest. Once approached, it will begin attacking. She has short periods of invincibility between phases. ####Awakening Phase The Queen circles the area, firing radial spreads of Quieting Blue Bombs around it while firing targeted Dazing White Bombs at players. In addition, it fires directed spreads of Large Blue/Red Stingers and Small Yellow Stingers at nearby players. After taking enough damage, she switches into her first phase. ####Phase 1 At this point, the bridge to the boss room becomes flooded with [Killer Honey](/wiki/killer-honey) which also floods the outer areas of the room, limiting the ground to a small ring around the Queen. The Queen then alternates between the following attacks: - After flashing red, she chases players quickly while firing multi-directional spreads of Small Red Stingers and single directed Large Red Stingers. All the while, she tosses radial bursts of Red Bombs. - After flashing blue, she chases players while firing directed spreads of Large Blue Stingers and spirals of Small Blue Stingers. She also fires a messy omnidirectional spray of Blue Balls along with radial bursts of Blue Bombs that Quiet. - After flashing yellow, she fires 3-way spreads of Large Yellow Stingers and a messy spiral of Yelow Balls, all while tossing a large number of White Bombs that Daze around her. For each color, she also spawns in a number of the respective Killer Bees, which despawn when she switches attacks. Also, in between attacks she is invulnerable. ####Phase 2 The Queen despawns all Killer Bees and moves to the center of the room. She then begins firing a messy omnidirectional barrage of Red, Blue, and Yellow Balls while lobbing White Bombs along the cardinal/intermediate directions. Every 7 seconds, she fires an unavoidable wave of Red Glaives that do no damage but Armor Break for 7 seconds: essentially meaning that you're permanently Armor Broken for this phase. ####Phase 3 The Queen begins to fire 4-directional spreads of Yellow, Red, and Blue Glaives at a rapid pace. Each one is aimed at a different angle so that it cannot be dodged just by standing still. ####Phase 4 The Queen spawns in a number of Killer Bees of all colors and begins using colored attacks again. Like before, every time she uses a colored attack she spawns in a group of the respective color Killer Bee. - For Red, she rapidly circles the pool of Killer Honey in the middle of the room, firing streams of Red Balls in various directions while also firing radial bursts of Red Glaives and 3-directional shotguns of red Hive Spiral Shots. She also fires aimed pairs of Large Red Stingers. - For Blue, she rapidly chases players, firing a messy bombardment of Blue Balls in all directions while using radial bursts of Blue Glaives and 4-directional Small Blue Stingers. She also fires wide, directed shotguns of blue Hive Range Shots. - For Yellow, she stays in the center of the room, firing short spiralling bursts of Yellow Balls and 4-directional spreads of Yellow Glaives. She also uses radial bursts of Large Yellow Stingers and 4-directional yellow Hive Shots. ####Phase 5 The Queen despawns all Killer Bees and spawns 3 Killer Bee Nests along the edges of the room which attack with different colored bullets that inflict different status effects. The Queen herself will be invulnerable and will be firing a 2-way shot-machinegun of Small Red Stingers that rotates clockwise. This attack is **extremely dangerous and most likely instant death** if not avoided. The 3 Nests will gradually swell in size until they break open to reveal [three](/wiki/adolescent-yellow-beehemoth) [Adolescent](/wiki/adolescent-red-beehemoth) [Beehemoths](/wiki/adolescent-blue-beehemoth), which then join the Queen for her last phases. ####Phase 6 The Queen swells in size and reverts to colored attacks by flying to the respectively colored Nest and charging a bit before firing, although now the Adolescent Beehemoths protect her while firing back at players. The dead Nests spawn in groups of respectively-colored Killer Bees when she is using attacks. - For Yellow, she stays in the middle of the room, firing a rotating spiral of Yellow Glaives while firing another spiral of Yellow Balls rotating the other way. She also fires radial bursts of Large Yellow Stingers and directed White Bombs that Daze. The Adolescent Beehemoths circle along the edges of the room taking shots at nearby players. - For Red, she circles area slowly while firing a messy spray of Red Balls and radial bursts of Large Red Stingers and red Hive Spiral Shots. The Adolescent Beehemoths orbit her closely during this phase. - For Blue, she fires sprials of Blue Glaives, radial bombardments of Blue Balls, targeted spreads of Small/Large Blue Stingers, and enormous directed shotguns of blue Hive Range Shots while quickly chasing the nearest player. The Adolescent Beehemoths follow her loosely. During this phase, the dead Nests will fire radial attacks constantly. Also, both the Beehemoths and the Queen will have periods of invulnerability, and the Beehemoths in particular will heal off any damage dealt to them during this phase. The Beehemoths also heal the Queen for about 200HP each every now and then. ####Phase 7 Returrning to the center of the room, the Queen begins to fire slow, radial bursts of Large Red Stingers, Small Yellow Stingers, Blue Balls, Hive Range Shots, and all her Glaives. The Adolescent Beehemoths orbit her closely, firing radial stingers and spreads of Glaives at players, but they can now be killed. This phase lasts until her death, upon which the Killer Honey turns into solid ground and the Beehemoths self-destruct.
