Anachronox Hints
How do I kill the Hive Queen?
1 of 8: For one thing, as Fatima may have warned you, you'll need to use MysTech against the Queen. You can't use beat weapons against her or against any of her minions.
2 of 8: You can, however, use items on the Queen. For example, you can throw a BindleBag at her to do a little fire damage, if you want to go that way.
3 of 8: Also, pay careful attention to the crystals on either side of the Queen's chamber.
4 of 8: She'll knock over the crystals to summon her guards.
5 of 8: But you can use the crystals yourself.
6 of 8: Position your characters next to those crystals and click on the "use" icon in the battle menu when the crystal is lit. This will replenish the NRGs of the character who uses the crystal.
7 of 8: Of course, this is a good way to get NRGs without using glodents, but the crystals also take a while to regenerate, so using them can also be a defensive move to keep the Queen from summoning her guards.
8 of 8: The Queen has somewhere around 10,000 HP on the normal difficulty level. You don't need to kill the guards to end this fight, although feel free to do so if they're in your way.
