In Farever, Queen Honeyzabeth is a level 20 boss located in Nescent, Honeyzabeth’s Hivetrunk. I’m going to show you how to beat her solo on Hard Mode as the Warrior. With that out of the way, let’s kill some bees.
What you will read
If you’re playing as the Warrior, you aim for higher Vitality (+140) and Strength (+80). You don’t want to get one-shotted in the middle of the fight, that’s for sure. Critical Chance and Armor Penetration also play a huge role when it comes to landing critical hits and dealing as much damage as possible.
You should also equip your off-hand weapon for an extra 10 Vitality. Never forget: a crowd control off-hand is crucial because it adds 25% increased damage against bosses.
The trick here is that even though big bosses like Queen Honeyzabeth are usually immune to actually being stunned, when you hit them with a CC ability, it still triggers the weapon’s passive effect. So when you equip your secondary slot, you get a massive reliable 25% damage boost against the boss, which makes the encounter significantly easier.
Warrior Gear Recommendation for the Honeyzabeth Boss
And as far as weapons are concerned, choose Amon Ram, the Creator as your primary and the two-handed axe Judgment as your secondary weapon. And the Dominion shield goes a long way should you choose it.

The Elite Bees Phase
Before you can fight Queen Honeyzabeth, you have to take down her three elite bees first. They are standing in front of the Queen to protect her.
Now, engage the left bee first. Ignore the smaller spawning bees for now, as they don’t inflict much damage.
The second elite creates a healing puddle. You must immediately take care of it to prevent it from healing.
The third elite bee fires damage puddles. Run away from these puddles and use AOE damage. After the third bee dies, all three elites will respawn simultaneously. That’s when you should pull them to the back of the arena. This way, the Queen’s pulse doesn’t damage you.
How to Beat Queen Honeyzabeth
After the third elite bee has been dealt with, it’s time to go after the Queen. First things first, kill off any small bees on the ground so that the you don’t get any damage from them. And obviously, stay away from the fiery circles. The more her health drops, the more she periodically adds these circles.
When you get this far into the fight, it’s pretty much over at this point. Just use perfect blocks and self-healing to endure her damage.
Queen Honeyzabeth Loot
Now comes the sweet taste of victory. The boss can yield blue items and level 20 Wingsabers. She also has a 1% chance to drop a Pocket Hive or Ponogian Leggybug. Additional drops include Diaphanous Wings (35%), Glossy Chitin (20%), Royal Jelly (15%), Honey (15%), and Mote of Mely (1%).
