Anachronox Hints
How do I stop the Hive?
1 of 7: First, you have to find the Hive Queen.
2 of 7: This ship really isn't all that big -- keep exploring and unlocking doors, and you should find her eventually.
3 of 7: In particular, you need to unlock two different doors, so that you can go through the locked door at the top of the path leading up from your ship.
4 of 7: Then, go through the area with the different-colored crystals. You'll reach a more normal room after you leave the last of those crystal rooms (the one with the cyan and red crystals, I believe).
5 of 7: The Queen is on the other side a guarded door in that room -- one with many colors of bugs guarding it.
6 of 7: You need to find (and use) the parts for the central security computer to move those bugs out of the way.
7 of 7: Finally, just go through the door, which is now unlocked, and you'll be facing the Queen. However, if you want to do any exploring, do it before you go to fight the Queen -- there's no turning back once the fight starts.
