Useful Info
Killer bees are poisonous flying insects that lives up to their name. They're twice as fast as most characters, attack in swarms, and can quickly inject fatal amounts of poison in lightly-armoured characters. They are found in the middle-Dungeon, the Lair, and anywhere else where their common hive vaults occur.
Tips & Tricks
- Never believe that there's just one bee on the floor. They always travel with friends.
- With poison resistance and decent AC, they're nuisances. With only poison resistance, they can be a handful if they surround you. Without either, taking them on in melee is often suicide.
- Poison attacks work wonders here. Mephitic Cloud or Evaporate will make a tightly-clumped swarm slaughter itself, while Ignite Poison just kills every bee in LOS outright. Several repeated applications of Olgreb's Toxic Radiance will take a few more turns but will also eventually kill all bees in your line of sight.
- Bees have relatively low MR, so wands of enslavement can be effective in turning some of them onto your side.
- When things go badly, don't forget about your potions of curing.
