The Hive Reconnaissance Officer 
(-2374, 5, -557)

You are now in The Hive. This area is beyond anything you've ever experienced. What lies down there will not only wipe out you and your party, but a few other parties as well, if you're not careful. You are going to need massive reinforcements working together in order to survive here.
See my report for more information. It should give you an idea what to expect:

Portal Corporation had their main facility here until the Devouring Earth destroyed the area. This forced them to move their headquarters to Peregrine Island.

The Hamidon has defeated many heroes.

Transfer Points

There is only one entrance to The Hive. In Eden there is a gate in extremely poor repair along the northern half of the far east wall (marked on the in-game map as a red locator).

Notes

The northwest corner is where Portal Corporation once had their main facility. It has since been abandoned, and is relatively free of the Devouring Earth monsters that patrol the zone.

Villain Groups

The Hive is completely under control of the Devouring Earth. At it's center, you can find Hamidon, surrounded by it's mitochondria. Thorn, Stropharia, Lattice, and Quarry monsters roam through out the zone, while Devouring Swarms patrol the skies.
