Britannia Dungeons - Solen Hive Southwest

The Solen Hive is a cave system which spreads under the mainland of Britannia. The Hive has four entrance, each of them leading to a different cave underground. However, these caves are connected to the same cave system by holes in the ground. A short walk to the west from the western city gate of Trinsic the southwestern entrance to the Solen Hive is hidden in the woods. A black hole in the ground is leading down into the Solen caves.

The Solen Hive is inhabited by ant-like creatures. The Solen Workers, who usually live close to the Hive entrance, are not too dangerous. However, be careful with Solen Warriors. They spit green deadly acid on the intruder. When you are standing on an acid pool you will die within seconds, as the acid will cause severe damage over a short time. Often the acid bladder of a Solen Warrior will burst when dying, causing the acid to flow out. In those cases it is important to immediately step aside, away from the pools of acid. In the area around the sand pit, a big Ant Lion has its lair.

In the north you can find a small pond with a strange water purification device. If you read the instructions on the table, you may be able to solve a riddle.

Down in the center of the Solen Hive you will find the Solen Matriarch. It is an invulnerable creature. If you give it a plant seed, it will ask you for a favor. If you complete the given task it will reward you with gold and Powder of Translocation.
