How to summon Queen Bee

Abeemination. Break the Larva inside a Bee Hive in the Underground Jungle, or use an Abeemination anywhere in the Jungle. The Abeemination is crafted by hand from 5 Honey Blocks, 5 Hive blocks, 1 Stinger and 1 Bottled Honey.

Attacks and phases

• Lines up with you and dashes back and forth to ram you.
• Hovers and summons swarms of Bees.
• Fires poison stingers while moving above you.
• Gets faster in Expert as she loses health, and enrages if fought outside the Underground Jungle.

Strategy

• Stay in the Underground Jungle so she does not enrage.
• Clear a wide cave space or build a platform arena next to a hive.
• Jump or move vertically to dodge her side-to-side charges.
• Bring a Bezoar or antidote-style healing for her poison, plus Healing Potions.
• Piercing and spread weapons clear the bee swarms quickly.
• Do not use a Magic Mirror mid-fight; she will follow you home.
