What are tips for giant bee? Tips and strategies for giant bee in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
2021- tried several times with past tips/videos to tame the queen bee. Such a nightmare lol. Only thing that worked was breaking the hive with my dire bear, eating a bug repellent, then crouching below the queen bee with regular kibble in my 0 slot. Finally worked!!
After a while trying to get the queen in order to avoid wasting time, I just shoot an arrow on the hive, if nothing happens it means there's no Queen. Move to the next hive. Hope it helps :)
Can't find them on Lost Island, anyone else?
Not sure if this is just me or not but on console when she summons her soldiers while trying to tame it kicks you off the server
To tame bee's now you must lose aggro first then apply repellent and crouch slowly to queen. Simple kibble works best and haz gear can be used in place of ghillie
Bears are not immune to bees. RIP Yogi
Don’t go to red woods, go to green ob, they spawn right at the entrance in the little corridor. Usually not in a hive either, just flying or floating. still use ghillie and repellent if you have it. But what’s nice is that they don’t fly away due to the path being so narrow, they may fly directly towards you or near you, just line yourself up with their path and you should be able to feed the rare flower. Even if they start spawning drones try and feed it, I have consistently have found them there. It truly beats the headache of finding one in the red woods especially since you don’t always get one to spawn after breaking. This tactic really makes this tricky tame a 5 minute task!
It can transfer servers but not in hive form. Hold whatever hotkey allows you to demolish hive. You can then cryo queen. It will transfer as a cryo’d tame. Once you take her out of the pod access her to create the hive for placement on the new server.
Why is it impossible to find a giant bee inside the hive?
When following the Giant Queen Bee its good to have a full set of ghillie armor, bug repellant and for some reason crouching seems to put you slightly below the drones hit range, as long as you keep moving that is. I used this tactic earlier today to tame my first queen and it worked very well
I found using a shadowmane that deals 2200 damage can one hit the hive then let it get out of agro range get off tame and run to it with rare flowers in hot bar spamming Y I'm on xbox still recomend using gilly armor and bug repellant tho but I tamed 12 in less than an hour only hard part was finding hives but thank the ark gods for YouTube lol
The anti meshing keeps kill8ng my queen tame. I don't know how to stop this
I make about 40-50 fishing poles (they're cheap) and fly around with an argy or wyv stealing honey from hives. Honey never goes bad in fishing poles and I take it out as needed. Then just fly away from the worker bees. Gilly is best if you have it.
There's a glitch in lost island when you break the hive the queen doesn't come out i could've been having bad lack but idk
Beehives can also be found on cliff faces outside the redwood biome, if your not looking to be mauled by a thylacoleo.
