Britannia Dungeons - Solen Hive Northeast

The Solen Hive is a cave system which spreads under the mainland of Britannia. The Hive has four entrance, each of them leading to a different cave underground. However, these caves are connected to the same cave system by holes in the ground. The northeastern entrance to the Solen Hive can be found close to the city of Minoc. In the forest south of Minoc you will find a hole in the ground leading down into the Solen caves.

The Solen Hive is inhabited by ant-like creatures. The Solen Workers, who usually live close to the Hive entrance, are not too dangerous. However, be careful with Solen Warriors. They spit green deadly acid on the intruder. When you are standing on an acid pool, you will die in seconds, as the acid will cause severe damage over a short time. Often the acid bladder of a Solen Warrior will burst when dying, causing the acid to flow out. In those cases it is important to immediately step aside, away from the pools of acid.

Down in the center of the Solen Hive you can find two unique creatures, the Ambitious Solen Queen and the Solen Matriarch. Both are invulnerable creatures who can ask you for a favor if you talk to them. If you complete the given tasks they will reward you kingly.
